Does anyone know the name of the file that contains the text on the Multiplayer loadscreen?

I'm looking for it because I made a loadscreen and the C&C text shows up, but I want to edit it.

Don't mess with the strings.tdb, please. It will erase the changes I've made to get the unused building announcements working in multiplay.

It's for Modern Warfare, which will be a .pkg.

The scripts.tdb file is included in .pkg's, unlike a .mix, right?

its not in strings.tdb ffs, its in campaign.ini, know what you are doing before you do it though, or else your game will become unplayable.

I'll try again later but I'm having problems with my connection and email at the moment and it doesn't seem to connect. I think there is problems with my ISP and the DNS server.

You can see how it works. Color is the colour of the text and the 2 numbers before the "IDS_" are it's location as far as I can remember. To edit the text you need to edit the strings.tdb and either change the existing ones or add new ones and referance them in the campaign.ini. As the mod is a PKG format the strings can be changed or added. Adding them may be easier. The strings in the campaign.ini are the text with "IDS_" in front of them. When you add a new strings you can call it something like "IDS_Modern_Warefare_Load_Item01" for example then replace the part in the campaign.ini you want to.

Ok, thanks for all the info.

Is there any way to make the text blank, like adding blank strings, and just adding my own text in photoshop?

Just delete it I think or find a null string if it doesn't work.

No. You will cause a TDB Error and it will show "TDBER" instead of text or nothing. You need to make or find a null string that had no text on it. You can add new strings and then referance them in the campaign.ini

Either edit the strings.tdb and find one with no value (text). Or make a ew one and call it somtehing like "IDS_Null" and don't add any text to it. Go to the campaign.ini and find the "IDS" part you want to change and type "IDS_Null" in there.
