Hello i made a unit from map.ini
and iput a displayName and entered but i have always wondered how to make it so the name doesn't have to be one name itried using a str no luck and ihave seen people do it in other maps.
so how do i make my name three words or 2?

For map.ini, you can only use name strings contained within the game's lotr.str. You can just type in single words but you'll get "MISSING:Name".

Known Map.ini limitation :S
If anyone else knows a workaround let me know :O

The IP elders have been scouring the ancient archives for this elusive piece of knowledge for countless years. Alas, our searches have proved fruitless. The information remains hidden to us.

Well, usually this works:

DisplayName = Fire Avatar

[Crusard]

Yeah? Oh well that's simple

Well, usually this works:

DisplayName = Fire Avatar

yes but its is just going to have "Fire" for name when i use it

If its for your personal map then REDO the ENGLISH.BIG file
and add your name(s) to the Bottom

I have not networked gamed in a while but if Both parties have the same Modified English.Big file
Then it should be OK

You EDIT the ENGLISH.BIG file using Finalbig...

Open Edit Save ...Simple

and same with the fire avatar it only displayed "Fire"

CODE

DisplayName = Dark Assassian

map.ini only you idiot.

Be nice, please
He missed a little but we're all trying to help

yes but its is just going to have "Fire" for name when i use it

I think that's right... I had fiddled with displaynames a long time ago and this was probably the result I had.

Coder, are you really sure you saw multiword display names in a map?

[{IP}TABARRON]

yes i did there is a map called gladiator evolution my smeagol3456 and he uses 3 or 4 words.
i could email it to you.

and yes lets not be mean iam not a fan of fights

It should be easy to figure it out, you should open that map's ini file and search for the names!

[Puzzler33]

If 'Fire Avatar' becomes 'Fire' in-game, why not try 'Fire Avatar Avatar' and you might get the desired effect. You might not, but still...

[{IP}TABARRON]

ok crusard
here are the names in the map
and he put some of the names twice lol

DisplayName = Arius
DisplayName = Eliend
DisplayName = Servant of Maia
DisplayName = Saruman Servant Of Argon
DisplayName = Argon God Of Fire
DisplayName = Argon The Roaring Inferno
DisplayName = Triagron The Golem
DisplayName = Servant of Maia


btw puzzeler33 the "Fire" shows up no matter what.

[Puzzler33]

Well try putting your display name twice. I have noticed that when you do comandset overrides, you sometimes find you put the same bit of code in twice. I'd always thought it was unnecessary but maybe it does something after all.

[{IP}TABARRON]

no did that already like seven times lol

[Puzzler33]

Well if you type in exactly what he did with a name that he managed to put a space in then and it doesn't work, you've missed something he did. If it does work, just change the name to yours.

[{IP}TABARRON]

I got to try that
EDIT: nope tryed everthing all ifound out is that this & is always ignored but not a a space.
