MrGoTime Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 Can you change the pilot names on the roster in the single player campaigns in the strike fighters 2 series? If so, how? Thanks in advance for your help. Quote
Hans Topp Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) Edit the namesus.lst from flight.cat, its allowed edit it and change the names Edited September 22, 2013 by Hans Topp Quote
MrGoTime Posted September 22, 2013 Author Posted September 22, 2013 Does that change the pool that names are pulled from? Or is it savegame specific? Quote
+Wrench Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 Hans means EXTRACTT the namesus.lst from flight.cat, place it in the /Flight folder and yes, it changes the entire pool of names for the US, globally Quote
MrGoTime Posted September 22, 2013 Author Posted September 22, 2013 Awesome. Thanks all for your help. Quote
dast24 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 so if i understand it correctly i can create my own names list and edit the squadrons.ini to use my names list? or is it only possible to do this in the nations.ini? Quote
logan4 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Yes, you can create your own names.lst also ranks.lst in case the game does not have built in one already and place them as wrench said above, then you have to change the new file names in the nations.ini for example: [Nation059] Name=Hungary DisplayName=Hungarian Air Force Alignment=ENEMY PilotNameList=NamesHungarian.lst RankList=RanksHuAF.lst Quote
MrGoTime Posted September 24, 2013 Author Posted September 24, 2013 Is there any way to edit an already generated squadron roster for a campaign? Or can one only change the pool. Quote
Sabre103 Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) EXTRACTT the namesus.lst from flight.cat, place it in the /Flight folder Sorry for being so dense, but where is namesus.lst located? I've looked through the CAT files using the Extractor and all that shows up for the /Flight folder are FlightData.cat, FlightText.cat, MissionData001 to 007.cat and MissionText001 to 007.cat. None of them contain any names[x].lst files as far as I can tell. I've looked through the Menu .cat files and can't seem to find them there, either... If anyone could please point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated, thanks. Edited September 29, 2013 by Sabre103 Quote
+Wrench Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) you have to OPEN the cats with the extractor, scroll until you find the wanted find, then extract. it'll create a separate folder (wherever you have the extractor pointed to) of the original named folder (think of it as a copy). From there, you can copy out the file and place it wherever it's supposed to go. Now, OTH, having spent the last 10 minutes going through all the cats in the core install's /Flight ... I can tell you we got fucked again... like the RWR lst, they no longer reside anywhere we can locate. (like ALL the lods, probably residing the locked-out ObjectDat002.cat One may have to extract them for a 1stGen MissionData.cat Edited September 30, 2013 by Wrench Quote

Glad it's not just me...my old hard drive has an install at an early 2010 patch level on it, I'll see if I can track them down there... Thanks again! Edited September 30, 2013 by Sabre103 Quote
MrGoTime Posted October 2, 2013 Author Posted October 2, 2013 So...we're basically hosed? No changing the names on the roster? I haven't been able to explore this option yet... Quote
logan4 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) In case someone has a June2011 install or prior, that extractor can still open the missiondata1.cat in the flight folder for extraction and you can modify or copy to newer version installs. On a side note, the NamesUS.lst has male and female names, and there are 2 other ones for the US - NamesUSAF.lst (only male) and NamesUSNMC.lst (only male) The attached is the simple ..US.lst. Use it wisely. NAMESUS.ZIP Edited October 2, 2013 by logan4 Quote
+JonathanRL Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 FML. So I have to remake the entire name roster for Sweden? God damnit, TK. Getting tired of your shit. 1 Quote
logan4 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 There is a NAMESSWEDISH.LST built into the game already. One thing about it it only has male names. You only have to add the female ones if required. NAMESSWEDISH.ZIP Quote
+JonathanRL Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Thanks, but I have already done so, using a list of the most common Swedish Male and Female Names. Quote
