Trax List - how to edit
Wed Dec 05, 2007 8:30 am
I've been getting PMs about how to edit trax list. I don't like PM's because everyone else can't see them and people ask same questions over and over. It's better to share info for everyone to see. Especially with how to edit stuff like 3pt shooting styles in aiact. 
So here is more info on how to edit trax list if you are having trouble.
Everything you see in the trax list is in the locale.eng file. If it isn't in the locale file, there is no way for you to see it ingame. If you delete all letters and words from locale file, all text will be invisible ingame.
So if you wanted "Play Now" to say "Quick game" you just need to Search/Find (F5) for "Play Now". This program is called Textpad.
The thing is you can't just type Quick game in. You have to preserve the amount of characters. For play now it's 9. 4 for play, 4 for now plus 1 space.
Hit Insert key when replacing words and it will overwrite old word without adding any more new characters otherwise it will all get messed up. Unfortunately we don't have proper locale editor and this is the best we can do. So we need to make sure it stays at 9. If we wanted it to be blank we would add 9 spaces. Back to Play Now.. replacing it with Quick game wouldn't fit, so it would need to be quickie or something else with 9 or less characters.
It works the same way for any song title or album title. The important thing is there is no way for you to see text in menus unless it is in locale file. So if you can't find it, check spelling mistakes. Or make sure the match case box in find is unchecked. And that text and not hex is selected.

Hex editors work with opening locales as well, so programs like FxEdit can be used. Just make sure the strings are edited and change left-over hexadecimals to "0" if needed.
