I want to change a couple of labels in the helm menu, for example instead of "warp" > "engage"

I've edited the HelmMenuHandlers.py but what other file do I need to edit? The 'warp' button currently is something like "???"

if the warp button is like that , youi may not be able to change it , it may be Hardcoded into the Game engine or exe program, and don't mess with the exe

I mean after I edit the *.py file. Normally it's "warp", not "???"

Code:

pDatabase = App.g_kLocalizationManager.Load("data/TGL/Bridge Menus.tgl")

The game reads menu names from a TGL file so you'd need to edit that particular file.

Although I'd strongly advise against modifying anything, there are mods out there who rely on you having a button named 'Warp' not 'Engage' or whatever. You could make parts of them not work.

I've come to the conclusion that mods should infact read from the tgl and don't assume.


So, your best case is to rename it in the tgl (there is a tgl editor on BCFiles), be sure to back up the original tgl.
