-Make a new mod folder... called "mymod" or whatever.
-open L1S1_text.tbl in notepad, this can be found in the levels1.vpp.

The first section of it should be this:

Quote
0 "L1S1_GRD_01.wav"
En: "Hey, where do you think you're goin'?"
Gr: "(gr)Hey, where do you think you're goin'?"
Fr: "(fr)Hey, where do you think you're goin'?"


Edit it like this...


Quote
0 ""
En: "SKA knows all...no really!"
Gr: "(gr)SKA knows all...no really!"
Fr: "(fr)SKA knows all...no really!"


Then SAVE AS "yourlevelname_text.tbl"

If you need more than ONE text for your level, which is very likely, you just edit the next section of text. As you can see the texts are numbered from "0", next is "1" etc etc

If you want you can also make the "Gr" part in German, and "Fr" part in French, thats optional though.

If your making a mod you should already have a mod vpp, but if you dont just open VPP Builder (part of the RF tools, which can be found on levels4you), click ADD, browse for the text.tbl file you've edited and then save this into "mymod" folder, or whatever you called your mod folder.

Now open your level in RED:

- go to Objects/Events/level and double click on Message.
- open properties of the Message



Message ID: this is to select which message you want from "yourlevelname_text.tbl", if its the first one, leave the "0", if its the second message type "1".. etc etc

Make sure you select "play as HUD persona message"

And also choose which character you want to appear in the window when the message is displayed.

Save your level.

To test it open the RF launcher/sertup/ misc tab:

type the following:

-mod mymod -level yourlevelname

Click OK, then Play Red Faction.

I hope this helps
