How To Make Custom MPlayer Character Description?

[ROTTAR]

Hey i dunno if anybody can help me with this.

I edited one of the MP characters and now i want her a description.
I used characters.txt to make one but it just didn't appears in game, however, i can make custom descriptions for all the other recruits...

Pls somebody help! it's rather frustrating...

Is this for one of the existing mp characters or for your own creation again?

If the latter and it didn't work using characters.txt then it can't be done.

this is one for mp_hf11.
I renamed her and made her a custom pic.

I know that the display name should match the name_ and desc_ in the text, but...not working... i dunno what i'm doin wrong.

She already has an entry in the characters.txt, so just edit the text in the brackets.

name_mp_hf11 = {whatever}
desc_mp_hf11 = {whatever}

Yes this is what i did.

Nothing happened...blank yellow paper.

However i noticed if i change the pic of any of the recruits, the description will turn blank and can be never recovered, even if i take back the original image....

so this still remains a question: how the hell can i make a MPlayer recruit description?

Make sure that you've not overwritten any of the brackets in the characters.txt.

The display name and filenames need to be exactly the same, it's case sensitive. If you've changed the picture make sure you haven't made any mistakes in the file/display names. Also if you've been editing using the level & make screens that you delete the custom name afterwards.
