Where are the weapon names located ?

[GamerFos420]

I would like to remove the Bryar and add a Blastech DL-44 and have it done but its name ingame is still Bryar Blaster Pistol.
Any Ideas?

Open assets0.pk3 -> strings -> English -> MENUS.str in notepad. Ctrl+F, enter "bryar" into the search criteria and alter each entry as necessary.

Do the same again in "spingame.str", found in the same folder.

Do the same again in "mp_ingame.str", found in the same folder.

 

Hope that helps.

Well for the first time I found "Bryar Blaster Pistol" .. The referance I was looking for..Saving and running atm.. will let you know if it works =) Thanks

REFERENCE           BLASTER_PISTOL_DESC
LANG_ENGLISH        "Blastech DL-44 \nKyle Katarn's weapon of choice, the Blastech DL-44 is a common hand-held energy weapon with a slow rate of fire and incredible accuracy.\nPrimary Fire - Slow, single shot with great accuracy and damage\nSecondary Fire - Charged energy buildup for increased damage blast attack\nAmmo Type - Blaster Pack"

and
 

REFERENCE           WEAPON_BRYAR_PISTOL
LANG_ENGLISH        "Blastech DL-44"
 

were the only changes I could make in those 2 files and they were only in spingame.str.. gonna load up sp to see if it worked right now but there was no multiplayer change as I thought ..

[GamerFos420]

making the above change to the BRYAR_PISTOL removed the Bryar instead of renaming it

[GamerFos420]

Also there is no refereance to BRYAR_PISTOL in Menu.str only KYLE_KATARNS_WEAPON

[GamerFos420]

Hmm. Decided to do a test and renamed the E11-Blaster Rifle to ASSAULT BLASTER RIFLE and started up.. and the Bryar has been changed to Blastech DL-44 and the BR name changed aswell .. Gonna look over this one more time and then confirm your answer.. but I think your answer is right..

There are only minor references to "bryar" in MENUS.str, I included it only to add that extra thorough layer in overwriting the name. To the best of my knowledge, the only other mention of BRYAR_PISTOL specifically, is assets1.pk3 -> ext_data -> weapons.dat (open in Notepad)

 

In there, you'll find:

 

// WP_BRYAR_PISTOL

It occurs to me now that this may have been what you were after in the first place. My bad.

Ok..ive looked it over and you have to change

REFERENCE           BLASTER_PISTOL_DESC
LANG_ENGLISH        "Blastech DL-44 \nKyle Katarn's weapon of choice, the Blastech DL-44 is a common hand-held energy weapon with a slow rate of fire and incredible accuracy.\nPrimary Fire - Slow, single shot with great accuracy and damage\nSecondary Fire - Charged energy buildup for increased damage blast attack\nAmmo Type - Blaster Pack"

and
 

REFERENCE           WEAPON_BRYAR_PISTOL
LANG_ENGLISH        "Blastech DL-44"

 

 in sp_ingame.str to change the name of the Bryar in multiplayer and singleplayer  .. for others .

Change the sp_ingame LANG_ENGLISH       "weapon name" and the same in MENU.str..

There is no need to add a reference to the mp_ingame.str

 

All found in assets0.pk3 .  Thank You MagSul !!
