(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey guys, since all the .zone mods are starting to be released I thought I'd post this.

For those who don't know, localized text is like the text that is in the in-game menus. This tutorial will be covering modding the map names, but it can be used this way for any other localized text.

Make sure you have these dvars in buttons_default.cfg:

    set loc_warnings 0

set loc_warningsaserrors 0

First, you're going to need to extract your zone file using CraigChrist's tool. It can be found in You must login or register to view this content. thread.

Once you have your zone open it in HxD. Search text and look for "MPUI_AFGHAN". When you find it, this should be what you get: You must login or register to view this content.

Replace it with this: You must login or register to view this content.

Repeat this for all the other MPUI_<mapname here>. The ^1 can be replaced with any color you wish Just make sure you don't make the new name string longer than the original or it will blackscreen. Also, make sure you don't overwrite either of the null bytes at either end of the file name. Once done, save your zone and inject it back into the fastfile. Here's a little bit more info for those who are confused:

    MPUI_CHECKPOINT

This is the one for Karachi. You could overwrite it with this:

    ^4Karachi^7^7^7

Or instead of ^7's you could just put spaces. The ^7 is only there to fill up null space.

Hope this made sense Enjoy your colored map names!

Havent this been out forever?

Was never released :p

I think i read a tut awhile ago about this

I posted a thread about this already...

EDIT: You did post it first but I figured it out first and was the first to show it so I think I should be the one to release. Plus you gave no credit...
