Hey,
how can I change the in-game name of the troops?

You need to use the editlocalize to edit trooper, weapon, side, world names.
It can be located here C:\BF2_ModTools\data_???

Once open, you then need to choose entity. Add your 3 letter side.

Then add in your troopers. Then from there you can name them.

If you need help, the other worlds are there too to give you an idea.

Wow, I never cared about that file. But it looks like you can do some stuff there!

So I opened the entity tree, but what do you mean by adding in my troops and 3 letter side?
There is already imp (what I want to change most importantly) so can I just go ahead and edit those files in there? And whatever I edit in that file only applies for that one map, right?

Right click on entity,
Choose Add Scope, then add your 3 letter side
Right click on your newly added 3 letter side
Choose Add Key
Add all your troopers classes
Soon as there done, left click on a class and click on the left big white box on top and name your trooper
Once all is done save
Then munge your map and go play.  

I followed all your steps and made it:



But the names do not appear in-game. They are still named Stormtrooper etc.
I also tried to add them as "imp_inf_rifleman" (I actually only want to change the names for the imp for now) but that doesn't work either.
When I munged, I selected EVERYTHING and checked everything except "Sound" and "Movies".

((I entered the world name in small letters, but they turn capital whenever I reopen the file.))

If your running vista, win7, win8, make sure to copy the new munge mission.lvl to your map folder.

Sometimes when caps happens, means something is duplicating it self. Try a manual cleaning, then remunge

I am running Win7. I'm not sure which mission.lvl you mean, neither where to copy it. I copied the one in data_???/LVL_PC to the world in my addon folder, what didn't do anything.

I found capital PSA in the "mapname" directory. But I don't know, what should I clean?

Icemember, I tried it again with another world, and it still does not work.

Is PSA your side name or world name?

Thx Fox, will check it out later

Worldname

Lol, then theres your problem. Suppose to be your 3 letter side going there. As you can see, it clearly says 3 letter side.

How could I read that wrong!?!?
Uhrg... Well thank you Icemember!


I also tried around with some other stuff, went very well!
