i want to edit or translate halo... maybe some custom messages ex: You killed - You Pwned as halo french, italian, spanish, english, etc..
is this posible?
Thx [:)]

Yeah I believe they are all stored in tag files called .string_lists or .unicode_string_lists

Man it's been a long time since I've needed to work with those I'm almost positive they're under \ui\ folder though. Anyway there's a unicode string list editor on this site (don't get E3p0's one, it's messed up) where you can go in and edit all these strings.

Then you just compile a map with these new strings and when you kill someone in that map, your new message will appear.

Hopefully someone else can come along with more specific information about the string lists and where they are, it's been a while and I'm not even on my desktop right now.

Hope that helps

The problem is that they're on a per-map basis, so you're not gonna be able to translate it for already-made maps. Actually I've seen maps by international developers have the messages translated into the developer's native language a few times before.

However you could translate the main UI that way (ui.map). The you killed messages and stuff in other maps would still be in english unfortunately but at least people could get in servers and stuff.

thax for ur asnwers but i wanted change kill messages u_u bah! thx for replying

Sphinxbio's tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkBpY2qp6qw[\url]

do you want to edit the in game text messages? if so you can use a hex editor (Hex Workshop) and edit the unicode strings fairly easily. If this is what you wanting to do just shoot me a pm and I can walk you through "how to"

I've been gone too long...

now all I'm good for is cracking bad jokes and angering Dennis.
