Hey All:
There's no packaged utility that I know of yet. You can use any hex editor though... I use Hex Workshop... (downloadable). Open the mech.exe file... make sure you select ascii, not hex and do a search/find on a name you know is there...
It will find it and display the ascii hex along with the hex code. You can edit this and the just save the file. You'll see in the ascii display of the table that the names are seperated by a period (.). I remember from changing a few things in SP3 that the table is address based, and not seperator based. To keep it simple, it means that, until someone writes a simple utility, your editing is limited to the number of charactors between periods for any individual name. .Jones. an be edited to .Smith. since both names are 5 charactors... but .Barney. will mess things up. You can replace .Jones. with Pit by simply putting in the space as padding, ".Pit..."
if I recall the spaces show as periods also.
You'll not only see the leader names this way, but all the ascii that is printed by the game. All of the unit classes, etc., are all in there.
As a future thing in SP3, I had once made an AirMech category by editing this way.
