Avarice (unknown sector) not renaming. Is there a reason ?

[apricotslice]

I've decided I wwant to rename the unknown sector that was Avarice in X3R, but it wont change.

I've done exactly the same as I did for another unknown sector, whihc worked perfectly, but this one wont change.

Is it hardcoded still for the Avarice change ?

Hi there,

It can be renamed, I just edited the 0001-L004.xml file.

Search for id="1020909" to change the name (replace {7,1020000} with whatever name you want) and id="1030909" to change the description. Note for the description there are 2 entries for 1030909 and I think both need to be changed.

I am sure there is a much more elegant solution than above, but it just proves it can be done.

Avrice is coded to use several specific names in X3R (Remember you could choose which name you wanted), as of such, its not listed where it normally would be in the tfile

I'd assume the same holds true for X3TC

Ah, I certainly didnt find the second entry. I'll have a look for it.

Interesting.

The X3 Text Editor wont accept 300019 or 350019 as a page id, saying they already exist.

So manual editing of the file was necessary.

The names are in twice, but the descriptions are in 3 times !

That made no difference at all. Still named Unknown sector.

It must be hardcoded some way ! ???

I believe map changes require a new start....

It definately can be changed, as devir said, it does require a game restart. I renamed it to yMufflinks Lair (note the "y" means its the only y entry in the universe, very handy for finding it quicky on the universe map )

There is definatly only 1 name entry and 2 description entries.

Ah. good point.

But, its not a map change, just a text file change. Another sector I changed in the text files changed perfectly in an existing game.

Its only Avarice that wont change.

I will try a new game and see if thats it though.
