Modding Names.txt

[Soljah]

I'm asking if you have to use Names.txt or is there a command line you can put in your starpos file that will name it look for a different file instead, like custom_names.txt.

I'm pretty sure that something like this will work in your startpos file:

SetNameData:: "custom_names.txt"

If that doesn't work you may have to specify it's relative path from the "Total War" folder, usually Loc\Eng.

-Edit: In fact that won't work. That's the actual names of generals/agents/faction leaders file, not the name file itself. I'm not sure how to do what you're trying to do. I could do with knowing myself also.
