Changing weapons names

[Cleared]

Does anyone know how to change the weapon names or the messages that appear on the screeen after you killed someone? Ive seen couple of movies or clips where people have changed the names of the weapons and the "You killed ......." they changed it to "You owned...." and for the weapons for the rockets launcher they named it [RL] and stuff like that so if anyone knows how to do this hit me up,

You're in luck: the UnrealPlayground forums just started a topic on this; if you follow this link, you will find the answer in the first post, and a good amount of possible death messages in the replies.

Welcome to BeyondUnreal, btw

Yeah, I've known about this for a while, but I hadn't ever thought of changing them.

There are a few other .int files as well that might be of interest. I can't think of any off the top of my head though. Maybe XGame.int and Onslaught.int...

NB: The official patches tend to overwrite any changes you may have made

I have used what they have asked over at the other forum but nothing seems to be there that im looking for.

I can't change the weapon names that appear when you swtich weapons, only the weapons I pick up are the ones I edited.

Also how to change the string that comes up when you kill someone.
aka You killed (insert name here). I want to change that also and the part that says double kill, multi kill, mega kill, ultra kill etc...

If you guys can find and help me out I would really appreciate this.

*Thats kinda dumb that when patches are applied everything goes back to the normal defaults.*

 

[KaL976]

The stuff you're looking to change is spread far & wide in the .INT files in your system folder. XWeapons.int is one for example.
Do yourself a favour & make backups of any files before you edit as some of the Spree messages for example, have multiple entries & only one of them is the in-game string, the others appear on the score/stats page & you'll throw the page alignment out if you edit the wrong ones

See what you made me do!

I discovered how to do this before, but I forgot after months passed.

So can anyone tell me wich files to edit to change weapon names and the you killed xxxxx line?
Like the actual files?

thx

xweapons.int
in your system folder
scroll down till you see things like this

[DamTypeFlakShell]
DeathString="%o was ripped to shreds by %k's shrapnel."
FemaleSuicide="%o blew herself up with a flak shell."
MaleSuicide="%o blew himself up with a flak shell."

EDIT:
Also make sure you backup your .int files when patching. I forgot to back up mine and everything is back to default now.

I know that but i mean when you frag someone theres a line thta comes up at the top of the screen that says you killed %username% ive seen movies where people have edited theirs and i thought it would be cool. You know where that file is?

Also like you said earlier how you edited your weapon names. Where is that file to edit the names of weapons like you did?

Not sure but I think the way you modify weapon name in xweapons.int file is change the weapon name in quote after itemname=.

[Redeemer]
...
ItemName="Redeemer"

It's been awhile since I did it.
Also I haven't found the file or section where you change "you killed %username%" yet. Or atleast I forgot where I had seen it before.

[xKillerMessagePlus]
YouKilled="You Killed"

Multiple examples of stuff in the weapons int...

[Redeemer]
Description="The first time you witness this miniature nuclear device in action, you'll agree it is the most powerful weapon in the Tournament.|Launch a slow-moving but utterly devastating missile with the primary fire; but make sure you're out of the Redeemer's impressive blast radius before it impacts. The secondary fire allows you to guide the nuke yourself with a rocket's-eye view.||Keep in mind, however, that you are vulnerable to attack when steering the Redeemer's projectile. Due to the extreme bulkiness of its ammo, the Redeemer is exhausted after a single shot."
ItemName="Redeemer"

[RedeemerAmmo]
ItemName="Redeemer Ammo"

[RedeemerPickup]
PickupMessage="NOOB! (110 'till next one)."

[RocketAmmo]
ItemName="Eight-balls"

[RocketAmmoPickup]
PickupMessage="You got some eight-balls yo."

[RocketLauncher]
Description="The Trident Tri-barrel Rocket Launcher is extremely popular among competitors who enjoy more bang for their buck.|The rotating rear loading barrel design allows for both single- and multi-warhead launches, letting you place up to three dumb fire rockets on target.|The warheads are designed to deliver maximum concussive force to the target and surrounding area upon detonation."
ItemName="Rox"

[RocketLauncherPickup]
PickupMessage="You got the RL."

[FlakCannon]
Description="Trident Defensive Technologies Series 7 Flechette Cannon has been taken to the next step in evolution with the production of the Mk3 "Negotiator". The ionized flechettes are capable of delivering second and third-degree burns to organic tissue, cauterizing the wound instantly.||Payload delivery is achieved via one of two methods: ionized flechettes launched in a spread pattern directly from the barrel; or via fragmentation grenades that explode on impact, radiating flechettes in all directions."
ItemName="Spam Cannon"

The "Item Name=" bit is what changes the display name when you switch. The rest I would think to be self explanitory. There is also an INT for pickups, which I've inserted the respawn times for, much in the same fashion as the deemer in the above quote. The kill messages can be fun, though most of the game default ones are fun enough.

[DamTypeSniperHeadShot]
DeathString="%k made %o's head a splode."
FemaleSuicide="%o was chewing on tinfoil while playing with electricity."
MaleSuicide="%o was chewing on tinfoil while playing with electricity."

[DamTypeRedeemer]
DeathString="%o was NOOBED by %k!"
FemaleSuicide="%o was NOOBED!"
MaleSuicide="%o was NOOBED!"

[DamTypeRocket]
DeathString="%o rode %k's rocket into oblivion."
FemaleSuicide="%o's target was too close."
MaleSuicide="%o's target was too close."

Awards are in the game int...

[SpecialKillMessage]
DecapitationString="Arrowed!!"

[MultiKillMessage]
KillString[0]="Single Deuce!"
KillString[1]="Multi Kill!"
KillString[2]="Double Deuce!!"
KillString[3]="ULTRA KILL!!"
KillString[4]="T R I P L E D E U C E !?!"
KillString[5]="L U D I C R O U S !!!"
KillString[6]="H O L Y D E U C E !!!"

Yeah, I'm and SB fan...

AFAIK, you can't change sprees, but I haven't looked too hard, so...

Ok cool thx. I'll go check those lines out.

 

[JohnDoe641]

I changed the "item name=" to "." since I damn well know the weapons after all these years.

But can someone tell me if everytime you switch to a weapon and back, it says the name? Once I changed mine, it stopped saying the name on screen after the initial switch. I never noticed it doing that before.

 

[-AEnubis-]

Every time you use a switch weapon command, it displays what weapon you are going to switch to (limited naturally to what you have) on the screen, unless you have the balllauncher, or loaded goo, and then it will hold on the first successful switch.

 

[JohnDoe641]

Yay, mine is hax then.

 

[Selerox]

You > ini

The only ini tweak I have like that is having the kill messages show up as "You >" rather than "You killed". Inspired by POWAH2

Hmm....why does that seem so....Counter-Strike-ish?
