RTW Tutorial : Changing Diplomatic Responses

[Private Clark]

Well, in an attempt to add threads to these forums I've decided to port my tutorial from HG.

Rome : Total War Changing Diplomatic Messages Tutorial

Not a very complicated tutorial but i thought it i might as well write a tutorial for it. This tutorial will tell you how to change diplomatic responses, took all of 5 minutes to make

Requirements:
--NotePad or similar text editing device.
--Legal copy of RTW to play with your new diplomatic messages.


Step 1: Start off by opening your root RTW directory, by default it should be "C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War".



Step 2: Navigate to: "C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\text".



Step 3: Open "diplomacy.txt", you should now have a screen like this:



Step 4: Change whatever you like, ive changed the "Welcome ally" entry, for easy testing. Be careful to conserve spaces and such.

Step 5: Run RTW, if you did exactly what i did (text and all) you will get this when you enter diplomacy with the Senate :



Slightly obvious tutorial but I hope this comes in handy. Sorry for the message i changed it too, couldn't resist .

Nice tutorial, although its pretty easy to do :lol:.

You should port the modelling one over as well, although here there is a limit on the number of pics in one post.
