For those who don't know , you can modify your BF2 text .

Here in retail ,





And here , screen taken some minutes ago on HardwareSchotte [New Map] ,





If you want the same things . Tell me it on this thread and I will do an Tuto for it 

Between , You can't add colour on Demo 

And You can write what you want !     Let your imagination work

That looks brilliant.
Lol, at 3rd pic, commander dropped supplies at wrong building for snipers. Had to explain why he had to hurry.
But this is cool, 'I want to drive' haha!

I already knew that

You can find a full modified Localization file here

Striffrou used  a full modification files and his BF2 crashed , crashed and crashed ....

And reinstall BF2 + patch 1.41 + Wake Air Show is...ehm...so ...Boring 

No for better effects , you should modify it yourself 


I will explain now how to modify :

Start --> Computer --> Local Disk C: --> Programm Files --> EA Games -->

 Battlefield 2 --> MOds --> Battlefield 2  -->

Localization -->  Select your own language ( German , English , French ... ) .

After right Clik on the first files called "french" , " German" , "english"  --> Properties --> Security .

Now look the screen .



With this manipulation you can register all your modification


1. most of the time your localization folder will be found at C:/Program Files/EAGAMES/Battlefield2/mods/bf2/localization/english

If you are up to the date with the latest patch you should see 5 icons in there. If this is your first time doing this they will most likely look as if they aren't formatted. To open one of them, double click the one labeled "English" and it should bring up a window asking you what program you want to use to open it with. Select notepad from the list and you will notice that the file extension is now UTXT. Now everytime you go to open a UTXT file, it should open in notepad

*note* if there not in C:/Program Files/EAGAMES/Battlefield2/mods/bf2/localization/english file then i have no clue were to look

now onto the 2nd step!

as soon as you open the file save this file somewhere else. this is very important when you start changing the codes. ALWAYS MAKE A BACK UP FILE!!!. JUST IN CASE YOU MESS UP!.

now onto the 3rd step!

NOW LETS START!!
This is the easy part, you need some common sense to do this,for example on the left you will see something like "KILLMESSAGE_WEAPON_ m16a2". at first KILLMESSAGE means that is the message shown when you kill someone with that weapon. And the m16a2 is the weapon that is used. Next to the KILLMESSAGE_WEAPON_ m16a2. you will see 2 boxes then next to those 3 boxes are the words M16A2 then 2 more boxes next to it if you want to change something in there you have to put it between the sets of boxes.

now onto the 4th step! getting everything orange

Find what you want to modify, Ive chosen to change my You killed message to show the player's name that i killed in orange. So what i will do is where it says §0# is will change that to §C1001# and where it says #§1  i will change it to #§C1001. So you should go from this §0#PLAYERNAME#§1 to this §C1001#PLAYERNAME#§C1001 which should get you the player name in orange which i had for a little bit but i found how to make it into bigger letters

for the bigger letters like me locate the HUD_CHAT_YOUGOTAKIL LSCORE  change the original message with
§3You §C1001killed§C1001 §3#PLAYERNAME#§3 (§C1001+2§C1001)

the (§3) gives you the big letter format

http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/9756/screen381eh9.jpg

to get this you have to do this: Locate this line: HUD_HUD_KILLEDBY_KI LLS        §0#PLAYERNAME1# [§0#WEAPON#§1] #PLAYERNAME2# and replace the "§0#PLAYERNAME1# [§0#WEAPON#§1] #PLAYERNAME2#" with  §0#PLAYERNAME1# [§C1001#WEAPON#§C1001] #PLAYERNAME2# and you should get the orange letters


well that shall be it guys just play around with that stuff if you have trouble pm me if you have any other ideas post them so other can learn how to do more then just the stuff i taught them. pleas dont criticize the spelling and stuff i was in hurry to do this.  all the edits i have done are at the beginning of the forum

Yihaaa Seriously you can imagine me write all these text ? 

So steal from an other thread is better

 Seems a shame to go through all the effort just to write "pwnt". In fact, isn't that what most gamers would do anyway?  It's like exchanging an apple for an 4ppl3z0rz!!1 or something...

 
 Why not write something along the lines of.... "liberated from the mortal realms of suffering and tortuous human not-knowing".


 Okay, ums, maybe not that, but "pwnt" seems such a wasted opportunity....


 Hmm, anyway, each to their own, I will think on this and maybe have a little go later.

Apologies to Diana in advance, browsing through my screens it seems I didn't take as many piccys as I thought I did.

 








As I said to Gothik, it seems quite a novelty idea, but it has a more satisfying effect ingame.

A small but charming little modification.

Kudos.
