Disclaimer:

This is BETA software. Use at your own risk. No guarantees, warantees or anything else are offered. All damages to your system are solely YOUR responsibility.

This software has been tested and seems to work fine - MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR \Scripts FOLDER BEFORE USING. Or don't. It's your call.


Overview:

Just a simple utility to change the Villager Names as they appear in B&W. Good for the people who can't get the E-Mail naming function to work. (like me :)

This overwrites the Lionhead Villager names with ones you want.

I've tested this on a few machines - it works fine on the US English version of B&W. I have NO IDEA if it'll work on any other version, since I only own the US version.

** UPDATE: Jean-Pierre Trevisani let me know that BWVNE works on the French version. :)

** Update: Micha Droe (not sure on last name) advises me that German owners of B&W can use this util. :-)

Please let me know by e-mail if it works or breaks on your version. intel8088@hotmail.com


USAGE:
------

**Note: if you play Multiplayer/LAN games - make SURE you restore! [use the Restore button]. The game may go out of sync if you forget to change the names back to default. **


Unpack the BWVNE.EXE to the directory of your choice - run it. It'll automatically find your B&W install dir and read the necessary info in.

Click any name [there's 48 of them] and make changes you want in the Name Edit box. All your changes are saved on exit.

If you want to go back to the original Dev Team names, press the 'Restore' button.

Let me know of any bugs or suggestions you might have.

I'll implement some method of saving a modified names database so you don't have to re-enter them all if you Restore for Multiplayer (did that make sense?)
