Have you installed Kingdoms, LTC and are ready to play?

I am no modder, but yes, to all, I think.

What I think someone needs to do - who has not yet installed LTC - is to "unpack" M2TW to find the relevant file.

If that's it then I'm ready to roll.

But that will have to wait until I'm back home.

Guide to modding ingame character names

For you Tristan

This is the guide I've followed until now but problems remained to be ironed out.

Working on it...

Could be either way, as based on the Guide YLC linked above the game reads the names from names.strings.bin, which is automatically generated from names.txt at game start-up.

So it could either: use the vanilla names.txt to generate names.strings.bin for LTC Gold, or use the names.strings.bin supplied by LTC Gold mod (this assuming that LTC Gold comes with only the .bin version).

The problem being that the strings.bin file is unworkable...

The only thing I know for sure is that the LTC names and the Vanilla names are exactly the same.

You can get Python 2.5 and the .bin converter.
