A Useful Re-Script Request

[myles]

Hello,

I was thinking, the only thing stopping someone to completely modding this game is changing the name of folders + files just to change the name in the game.

Would it be possible to add a new variable in the XML files like - <display_name="soldier"/> so it looked at this variable to get the name of the unit for the GUI instead of changing the folder name and file name. Also to do the same with resources.

This, i think would really help allot of people. And I know this would mean editing the source code and then re-compiling. I think this is a good idea. Would anyone be willing to do it?

Wouldn't you still change the file and folder name anyway, so that they match the unit inside?

I guess you have not tried modding?

The reason I'd prefer not to change the folder and file name is because it causes some problems like the A.I not knowing what this new resource is when you have only changed its name.
