Guns, lots of guns

Hey guys

Do you know if there is anyway that you can change the names of the guns in the ini files so instead of in the game your weapon being called the justice mk1 you can call it what you like.

Change the nicknames in weapon_equip, goods.ini, and market_misc.

You should also make a new infocard.

If u cant do that then request it

to change the names of most things you need reshack or something similar to edit the "namesresources.dll" found in the exe folder

There are 2 ways forward

1. you use the editors search feature to find the name you want to change eg "justice"

2. you find the weapon / ship / station in the relevant ini files (either in the equiptment, the solars or the universe/systems/#name#) You find the one you want and look for the "ids_name = " subtract 196608 from that number then go find it in namesresources.dll

You can create your own names as well. Just add 196608 to the number in the dll and use it as an objects new "ids_name"

Don't forget to save your new dll file and transfer it into your exe folder (backups are your friend)
