How do I change tooltips for Stop Hold Position Move Patrol, etc?

[lario93]

I know about the Game Interface and I have changed the icons, but there is no way I can find any Text 'General' 'Message' related to these abilities. Please help, I've been looking for a solution for around 4 hours now!

Thank you!

3. change for example

[CmdAttackGround]
Tip=Attack |cffffcc00G|rround
Ubertip="Orders your units to fire at the targeted area of ground until they are told to stop or are given another order."
Hotkey=G

to

[CmdAttackGround]
Tip=Attack |cffffcc00G|rround
Ubertip=&quot;Only dumb people would attack the ground and not the unit <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />.&quot;
Hotkey=G

4. import it into your map and name it: Units\CommandStrings.txt

 

[Anachron]

You can overwrite it for you only, but not for all players.

 

[Sartan]

and whats wrong with this one then?

 

[13lade619]

4. import it into your map and name it: Units\CommandStrings.txt

i'm pretty sure it will work for all players if you import it to the map itself...

i think the map contents are highest in precedence of overrides.. (Map > Directory > MPQs.)

 

[SineCosine]

I believe he wants the tooltips to change for the map,
As in, all players who play the game will have the tooltips for the "Patrol" , "Move", etc icons changed to w/e he wants.

Anachron says your method only changes his icons, not the icons in the map.

[EDIT]
You're allowed to over-write 'Anything' in the MPQ? o.0
Seriously? ._.

 

[Anachron]

He is looking for changing it for all players, not only for him.

4. import it into your map and name it: Units\CommandStrings.txt

Have you tested it? I tried that as well at some time and it didn't work.

 

[lario93]

Wow

Wow this is the first time I've ever visited this site and I've received help in less than 10 minutes... You guys are awesome, I'm going to check out the .txt file importing stuff now! Thanks abunch!

OH MY GOD It works! I'll be SURE to come back if I need help with my stuff, THANK YOU Sartan!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++REP

 

[Anachron]
