HELP Changing civ name ingame

[gyogen2]

I was trying to find a way to change the name of the barbarian civ in late game and so far have had no luck.

I was wondering if anyone may know of a proper code to change the civ name, or of some other way to do it.

Thanks All

You would need to mod the C++ DLL code (and recompile it) to support changing the Civ's name (and a couple of other attributes) via Lua - as the database loaded from the xml files is 'read-only' once a game has been started. But even with a modded DLL you would still have to change many, many core Lua files that make up the User Interface screens as these refer directly to the database, eg "GameInfo.Civilizations[pPlayer:GetCivilizationType()].Description" or similar, and don't use the Lua API methods to get the Civ's name and other attributes. See also here.

Thanks for the response.

Actually I found a way to change name with just lua, thanks to looking at code in the Civ Names by Policies mod. (now to get it to change the one I want)
