Custom Text Additions
Note that config file only includes the English language changes, so if you support multiple languages you will need add these lines to each of your language cust_text.php files with appropriate translations of course.
// added for use with mappedigree file $text['ancestorsmap'] = "Map";
For example, you would add to the French/cust_text.php
// added for use with mappedigree file $text['ancestorsmap'] = "Carte";
Side effects
- As with most source code modifications, these changes will likely be overwritten during your next TNG revision upgrade and will need to be re-implemented. (Using the Mod Manager greatly simplifies this process.
