I know this must have been done before in other Mods, but I have yet to see any topic on the subject, so for those who wish to change the Florin in MTW (I am using VI, But will work in 1.1 also).

Go to Loc/Eng file folder and with the files I list below, using Notepad, open the file then click Edit, Replace, you will get a box with
Find What? enter :Florins
Replace With enter: Monetary unit of your choice.

Now be mindful not to use anything to lenghty or your campign screen will show its abbreviated version only.

so start with Frontend Files
Do as I showed above.
same for ,Changes File,Global File,Tooltip File,**Events File,and Glorygoals File.
**Note: In the events file, look for this entry:
["koku_stp_abbrev_xzy"] {"%d Fr."}
and add an abbreviated form for your monetary unit.

That is it, now some points to note, this will be a global change it will show your new monetary unit in Custom Battle screens, and campaign.
and also when doing the Florin word search watch your headings you dont want to edit the Multiplayer command lines, that include the word Florin, just skip those. simple enough, I have it working fine in the NTW Mod as Francs with no trouble so far http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-thumbsup.gif ...LOS

Never saw this http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-rolleyes5.gif ,but I can certainly use it to change Florins to Shilling for my Wars of the Roses mod.

Perhaps you can merge your How to's into one post, you've made several and they're all worth stickying but's getting a bit crowded in here.

Cheers, Duke John
