How Do I Change Column Names? - FerretInTheDrinksCabinet - 18.05.2009

I can edit thechief.ini file to modify/create new Vehicle Columns. Eg. JapanCarsColumnD.

I note that there must be a separate file somewhere which makes GermanCarsColumnA show in the FMB as for example "German Supply Column".

Will it break the game to use non-standard names (ie other than GermanCarsColumnA etc) in the chif.ini file?

If so, what file do I need to extract and edit to change the names as they appear inthe in the FMB.

Regards

Ratty

Thanks fabianfred.

I can now have any name as long as it has no spaces. If I use "_" or "%20" as the space then this shows in the FMB. Is there a way to (maybe in another file) make the name appear differntly in the FMB. Like for example the "JapanCarsColumnA" is the "JA Command Staff Column" in the FMB?

Thanks Ratty
