https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Arena2/Tools/Dummy/makecfl.zip (https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Arena2/Tools/Dummy/makecfl.zip)

1. Open up the zip
2. Drag "uncfl" into your RA2 folder
3. In the RA2 folder is a file called "components.cfz." Drag it into "uncfl"
4. open up the Components folder; you should see a bunch of txt files ht weren't there before. The line "Name=" is the component name that the game displays, and the line "description=" iis the instructions.
5. Also in the components folder is a folder called "Styles" open that up,and you'll discover even more text files that you can change, do it the same way as in step 4.

Post by: Trovaner on October 13, 2012, 12:12:56 AM: Its a cool idea to translate RA2 but in order to get everything translated, you would have to edit more than the component TXT files. This is especially true for DSL (which is the section that you posted in). You would need to edit the GIBs and any images with text on them.

Post by: robo-fan on October 13, 2012, 03:58:43 PM: I can now open the .txt files (thanks for this) but when i´m ready with translation, how can i close the files so that the changes become operative?
