Two Questions:ILive and LText

[gckearns 0]

I gathered from a few posts that I might be able to add new text using I Live. Is that true? Also, is there any way to add LText using SC4 Tools? I have files with Ltext, but have yet to find a way to copy it to a new custom lot.

Second, I realize the Modds & Downloads section is down, but is there somewhere I can get the reader? People have posted alternatives to many other files, but not the reader. I got the source code from sourceforge, but was unable to compile it (kept getting missing MFC class headers afx********.h stuff). Any help for any of these problems?

It is absolutely possible to create new LTEXT objects in datfiles. you only need to copy and paste an existing one. Then change the TGI ID(s). Only be careful so that you don't cause conflicts with existing LTEXTs. The good thing is that LTEXTS, unlike some objects of other types, are referenced by all three T,G and I IDs. This means that if you can also change the Group ID, not only the Instance (you can also change the Type ID, and this DOES work, but it will show up as "Unkown" in iLive). By choosing a "weird" and unused Group ID, conflicts are very-very unlikely.

EDIT: LTEXTs are typically referenced by the User Visible Name Key and Item Description Key properties.
