Warning/Info/Note Text

[Juno**]

Just a very quick question, is it possible to change the normal/default warnings that show up when you do something? like when you attempt to attack an invulnerable unit then a yellow text appears at the bottom left corner of the screen saying 'target is invulnerable'... or the 'Upgrade Complete' text that shows up when you finish upgrading something... and is there a way to remove the hp number below the unit portrait then replace it with the health bar?

(FIRST PROBLEM FIXED)​

(Didn't make another thread, Too tired and this question is kinda related to the thread)​

​

How do you remove the "a hero has been slain'' sound when you or an allied hero dies? I have already removed the ''hero has fallen in battle" message by changing it in the Game Interface but the option 'Sound - Hero Dies' option does not have the NONE...

The standard textmessages are changeable, however i think they are in the MPQ so you'll change them for the entire game and not just your map.

1: year you can. In the main mpq, search for a file named "commandstrings.txt". It can be found in the Unit folder. Alternatively, you can google "commandstrings.txt" (including the "s) and you will find it there in english. Open up the file, change the strings and safe it. Then import it into your map in the path Units\commandstrings.txt. Note that every command string in your map will be english then, even for non-english players.
2: dont think so.

Wow, I'm rather surprised that was the direction the answer went. To change the messages, just go into Advanced -> Game Interface and scroll down to where it says Text - Messages. There you should be able to change the things you want.

Thanks! I even found cool icons that is rarely used in game...

Try holding shift, doube click on the sound and in the text field, put a '_' (wow, looks like a smilie. i mean the underscore only.)

Well that worked perfectly thanks!... But there are still things that I can't seem to find out how to do, like the upkeep and the 'player has slain player' text (changing the ''Text-Message-'%s has fallen in battle'' doesn't help)... can someone tell me how to fix this? I can't find it in the Game interface...

Sorry for double posting but wasn't able to attach this file to my last post why the h*** can't I attach a file?

Archive files with .ZIP and try again.

Okay, so the upkeep problem still keep showing up and playing its sound even when I have changed all of the sound in the game interface to None and changed the Upkeep name... I really have to fix this problem because I am using the food and lumber as the timer.. and the "Hero has been slain" message is kinda annoying although the SFX of it is gone...

I'm not sure whether it helps but I noticted that in some cases (eg. buffs), if you remove the buff from ability it will still use default. What I suggest is importing blank sound file and use it instead, but again, it's purely theoretical.

> Hero has been slain
In Object Editor, select your hero unit, then look for 'Hero - Hide hero death message'. Set to true.


> upkeep problem still keep showing
In Gameplay Constant, mingle around with the 'Upkeep - Food levels' so that the message cannot be possibly shown anymore.

It works! thanks for all your answers guys!
