WILL REMOVING OR ALTERING THE LOCALIZATION ALTER MY NORMAL ABILITY TO PLAY THE GAME...I DO NOT HAVE THE NO CD CRACK INSTALLED SO THAT ISN'T THE ISSUE.....ANY HELP HERE WOULD BE APPRECIATED

I'M SOMEWHAT HESITANT ABOUT REMOVING FILES, THAT COME WITH THE GAME , I NOTICED THAT YOU HAVE MENTION GLOBAL FILES, ARN'T THEY NEEDED TO RUN THE GAME ??????

I do not believe that you NEED the localization file. It can cause errors, but not game closing/freezing errors, that i know of. If you are going to altar the localization file, make a back-up copy just in case...

Thanks Cheetos.....one more question. I'll make the backup file and move it to another folder in my programs file, will that work. I'll remove the existing one and hopefully be able to compile my maps.

And your sure I don't need it to play the game under Normal use. I have a Server launcher for my game, it takes me directly to our dedicated server.

The global folder is in main/pak0.pk3 and if you put a copy of the global/localization.txt file in main/global, it will override the original file.

If you move pak0.pk3 outside the game folder, the game wont work right. Do this:

1. Highlight pak0.pk3 and right click on it. Click on copy and close all folders.

2. Right click on your desktop and click on paste. There should now be a copy of pak0.pk3 on your desktop.

3. Highlight it and right click on it again. Hit rename and change the name to "pak0.zip".

4. Left click on it and unzip it with winzip.

5. Find the global folder and open it. You should find "localization.txt" and drag that to your desktop. You can trash all the rest of the files and folders.

6. Now you can add anything you like to that file to stop the errors. Make your new lines look like the others that are in there.

7. When you are done, move your new localization file to MOHAA/main/global (create a global folder if there is not one there).

That should fix the errors you see in the console.
