UK Localisation Mod

[ILL Tonkso 1,239]

Hey all, after tinkering with the UKlocale.dat i managed to work in a few British Elements to the Game, for example...

Ok, so this mod is actually pretty useless, but i thought it would bring the game home a bit more for the British Users, anyway, it all seems to work fine and i hope to get it posted up soon.

 

Main Changes:

 

Highways converted to Moterways

Subways converted to Underground Railways and Tubes

Elementary Schools converted to Primary Schools

High Schools converted to Secondary Schools

Jails converted to HM Prisons

Plus More

Oh, anyone who downloaded the mod before i updated it, please redownload, in version 1 i forgot to remove my test where i renamed the funds box the chedder box. Thats sorted now.

Sounds good, very good in fact - although you have spelt Motorway wrong!

[jacqulina 162]

very nice

I'm Australian but thank you!! Now those damn elementary schools will finally be primary schools!

[ILL Tonkso 1,239]

Ah, im afraid the mod will only work on the UK version of the game

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Oh dear.

That would've been nice, but it would be a better idea to put it into a seperate DAT file that overrides the UKLocale.dat, or whatever.

The Elementary school name and the highway name have bothered me for a while...

Just had a look, seems though that my computer doesn't want to let me save any changes.

This sounds quite interesting as it add's humour to the game, just like the list of crimes on the mod (Cars Nicked!, how English can the game get! )

Well I got it working. I have an International version, bought in Denmark. I use the UK-english SimCityLocale.DAT, but the folder I have rename to English to get English menues and right hand driving.

(Solution to the left/right driving issue)

It's great but...you spelt motorways wrong. It's not Moterways, it's Motorways. Shame, this was a great idea, but that spelling mistake is careless.

Surely a great mod for all UK folks, but as Shadow_Assassin suggested, it would be better to copy the modified LTEXT files into a new DAT and put this into the My Documents plugins folder. Not only it will shrink the download to a few kilobytes, but it's also easier to remove the mod, since you don't have to replace the SimCityLocale.dat file.

Assuming you're using the Reader, just right-click the LTEXT files that you have modified, select Copy file(s), open a blank DAT (File/New), right-click again and select Paste file(s), and then save the file as a new DAT (i. e. UK Localisation Mod.dat).

I thought I'd have a go at this last night. It's no small task. I copied the entire SimCityLocale.dat and started editing. There are thousands of LTEXT files to trawl through and change. It's not a trivial task, and you need to be careful that you don't break any of the special functions using links.

Thanks Ill. Very good mod I like the Railway Line and Freight Lorry ones.

[JADsHome 12]

Ah a taste of home at last - thankyou   And some bunnies...

[GingerBlokey 30]

I just thought about renaming the Army Base, Barracks and the Air Force Base, RAF Base

[Glenni 1,447]

nice dude!

[hammo 2]

Good idea Ill Tonkso, one problem...

Moterways? Mis-spelt. You mean Motorways. Easy mistake I guess.

[tommyvercetti7 0]

[tommyvercetti7 0]
