OT: FOF2k4 Question

[thrym]

Sorry to get everyone away from the other important topics here ;)

Anyway, my question is:

Does anyone know if I will need to modify the fnames & lnames files BEFORE I do a draft which uses names NOT currently in the .dlls?

I am doing some historical draft files and for instance, a first name Lo-Le isn't in there(and it ain't the ONLY one either). When I import the draft, will it 2k4 add the names to the db or do I need to make a list and ResHack my files again by hand?

Damn I hate doing that...but, anyway. Thanks for the read and I now return you to your regularly scheduled message board...errr, whatever.

Good day!

Before the import of the draft files, it uses the dll files to generate names in the database files during import.

could i open an existing league and edit a name, change a name whatever and that will then add it to the .dlls

i know i am dodging the ResHack stuff but, well...if there is NO OTHER way around it...

[3ric]

No, there's no other way to add names to the dll files, editing in-game will just affect that career only, by changing the name in the *.fga file

Thank you sir!

One more thing I'll have to do...grrrrrr!!!
