Hi I have a custom server and I would like to change the name and description of the Duke coins to a custom one,

I have a friends birthday coming up who plays with us and I would like to have the Duke coins
have a custom name and description and I was wondering if a mod could do this?

and if it can be done are there any guides for making a mod on changing item names and descriptions?

Thanks.

 
Hello,

No mod is required for this. You can edit all names and descriptions in Localization.txt

File location: yourpath/Data/Config/Localization.txt

You can easily edit this file with Translation Tool V2

 
do I need to edit the file on both the server side and client
or would changing it on the server change it for everyone on the server?

Ok I tested it and changing it on the server doesn't effect the client side so this wouldn't work as a surprise.
I did test the file on the local side and it did load the information correctly so the edit did work.

I was planing on changing the name to "birthday coin" and adding a message as the description for the fun of it but it wouldn't be a surprise if everyone had to load the file.

I have seen modlelt files that are sever side only that do things, I wonder if that would work here,

 
It seems that server-side translation takes priority.
It's better to see it with your own eyes.

For example StoneAxe
:Data name is
meleeToolRepairT0StoneAxe
In the translation of .
Enter inconspicuous text
Restart the server and
To someone other than the birthday person
Could you please send me a photo of the display part? .

“I could do it locally.
It can't be done on the server.
It is reflected in the server owner.
It doesn't reflect on other players."
is a common occurrence.

If you have 2 accounts and 2 computers,
One side is unmodified
I think you can check it yourself. .

Happy birthday my friend
is not it.

I tested editing several items in the "Localization.txt" on the server buy adding the word "test" in front of the name and at the start of the description ,
I then started the server up and then tried connecting to it with 2 other PC that are running vanilla files,
They would only show the default text
and not what was change on the server file.

I did copy the "Localization.txt" from the server to my PC and then it would show the modification correctly that way on my PC.

 

 
OK so I was able to get it to work by loading it as a mod on the server side only.
Ii took me a few hours researching server side mod codes and trail and error but I finally got it to to override the line in the "Localization.txt" on the server, which made it work.

Not sure why editing just the "Localization.txt" didn't do this but now its working,
Next time I connected to the server the info was changed to the new name & description.

Wed. is my buddies birthday and I think it will be a surprise for him and the rest of the server :)
He is pretty much our servers banker so I am sure he will see it and get a kick out of it.


Now what else should I change with this new power? lol
