Modifying Name in Editor/List

[Kalimar 0]

My OCD gets me whenever I've downloaded a addon and out of the list of newly added toys I see something like this - "Ural ambulance" instead of "Ural Ambulance". How can I edit the .pbo so that I can correct how it's listed in the addon list in the editor and their label in the game? I just want to modify the lowercase "a" to an uppercase "A".

This should be a simple change in the config (.cfg). But i don't know how this will affect things like missions you want to create etc (especially if you want to share them).

I tried editing the .cfg file by replacing the characters that needed to be replaced and I was given an error when starting ArmA that said something about the file size of the cfg.

Hi, the best way of do that, will be to head to: www.ofpec.com

and download the best .pbo compress/decompress tool released

until date; called: Pbo View v1.0 .

If you change anything inside an addon's config.cpp, then if it's

just the "DisplayName" you could keep playing (in SP) any mission

that uses that certain addon, but if you gonna try to play in MP

with that moded (by you) addon... then you wouldn't be able of

play with other players that have the unedited (by you) addon.

In some servers you gonna be auto kicked by the server and in

other servers... you may be even banned for life from that server,

that depends on the server settings. Let's C ya

Thanks, that did the trick. A bit of advice for modders who would like their addons to become community standard -- Please follow rules of capitalization in titles.

If you would like a unit to be a BMP that is an ambulance, label it as "BMP Ambulance" instead of "BMP ambulance". The same with HMMWV, if it's a HMMWV, please don't label it as Hmmwv.
