LANGUAGE Files

All the game strings for any of the languages are stored in the LANGUAGE folder at the root of NMS. Actually the content is spread over 5 files, each declined for the 17 languages. The files inner name is LOC1, UPDATE3, LOC4, LOC5 and LOC6. While some of the files were clearly created for some particular game updates (like UPDATE3 that basically rewroe the whole game story as we have it now), with time, new strings and dialogs were added in all the files and all the content is finaly more or less mixed over the 6 files.

Editing language files

These files can be viewed and edited 2 ways : You can of course use MBINCompiler as for any .MBIN file to get the corresponding .EXML files, or you can use NMS Translator to convert .MBIN files into easy to edit .txt files that could be reconverted back to .MBIN files.

Files content

EAch file basicaly stores pairs or data : an ID and a string.
