Morale Bar Message Editing

[Ruffyen]

I have a question that hopefully someone here can answer.

When I hover my mouse over the morale bar in game it says:

"When Above 50% your Mechwarriors will all have slightly increased combat prowess. Special abilities Precision Strike and Vigilance must spend morale to activate."

In the combatGameConstants.json file there is a description.
"MoraleBarDescription":
{
"Name": "Morale Bar",
"Details": "Your lance gains Morale for performing well in combat.\nWhen the bar is half full, your MechWarriors become Inspired, gaining a +1 bonus to Accuracy for all attacks."
},


I wanted to change the text (since I changed how it functions in game) but I cant find the correct .json file to edit.

Where would I find the file that has the "50%" value in it?

Its in SimGameStatDesc_Morale.json

Its in SimGameStatDesc_Morale.json

That one covers the company morale when you are sitting in space (upper left of your screen under the finances chart).

I am looking for the one that gives the text for the "morale bar" when you are sitting in your mech on a map.

simgameconstants.json under story.

Other than that ive no found any other morale settings yet.

I only see values there for the actual modification of morale but nothing to edit text the bar displays. Did you mean "combat" game constants .json?

The one in "combatGameConstants.json" (which I mentioned in my original post) seems like it should work but it doesn't. The wording is different and when I edit it nothing changes for that bar's text game.

And thank you for trying to help I do appreciate it!

Morale is split up all over the place, ive yet to see the specific one your looking for. Try the descriptions folder, if its not in there...no idea.

On Linux, I'd just run a grep on the data files to see where that message showed up... on Windows, well... a Google search turned up AstroGrep on SourceForge (link wouldn't be allowed, but you should be able to find it searching by name). Use that to find where the message is, and then if it happens to be in one of the JSONs you can edit it.

Thanks for the help guys!

Although none of the suggestions so far have helped I do appreciate the effort.

For now I am "guessing" that its stored in a saved file, or hard coded in the main game files (even though it looks like they intended for it to be editable when they put it in combatGameConstants.json).
