how to rename stuff (not ingame stuff)

Post by powerpak »

I was wondering how to rename something like tree in the map file. Normally in HMT you see the file heiarchy as in +btm -> scenery/trees/tree_whitebark
etc. I forgot who it was that did it, grenadiac or allister or something (the person who made the blocks) most likely grenadiac. renamed the tree he replaced to metal platform, or something. I wanted to know how to do that.

Just open the file in HMT. Go to what you want changed. In the top left there will be the same name it is in the hierarchy except you can type in a different name. Just type in what u want the name to be. Then click save. That should be all.

Well seeing as I only have the xbox version, yes it does. I don't know if it's the same in PC but you can only fit a certain amount of letters in on xbox.
