Action Camper -> Unit Type Name short vs long after editing (12/21/2021 10:49:28 AM)

Hello together,

my goal is, translate the units to the origin language. For example: 269th Infantry Division --> 269. Infanterie-Division.
The problem is, the Unit Card in the right shows the short type of the unit: 269th Infantry Division = 269th ID.
This short version ist gone after rename it to 269. Infanterie-Division. Now the long name ist cut off: 269. Infanterie-Divi...
I think there must be a mechanic, where i can set the short type names, does anybody know, where that is?

In WitE 1 this was a name table embedded in the game .exe, I asume it's the same in WitW/WitE 2

thanks for the replay.
Did you know, if its possible, to edit it or is it hardcoded?

hardcoded, only the programmer may add/change the list.

it seems there is some code that looks into the TOE(OB) suffix CHARACTERS .... it changes "Infantry Division" to ID (and "Motorized Division" to MD) , btw if you do include the word "DIVISION" in the TOE(OB) suffix you SIZE is as the "default" would be a division, but if you do nmot include it (as in writing "divisionen" you have to set size option manually.)

im not not sure, if i understand you right. I change the suffix of the 
41 4th Wave infantry division (Ger 6/41)
to 
41 4th Wave Infanterie Division (Ger 6/41)
but the name is cut off.
I understand it so: if suffix is exactly infantry division Then ID

Or i missing something?



vilcum -> RE: Unit Type Name short vs long after editing (12/24/2021 8:05:46 AM)



it is as you say (by test and error), for the "ID" suffix has to be exactly "Infantry Division".

The other thing I discovered is : if the suffix is not going to include the word "Division" then you should explicit mark the size option (or it will become a battalion)
