DIALOGS - Tapping into dialogs without extra files
 

Here's an interesting aspect of the game that allows you to tap into dialogs and call normally hidden functions.

You can use your own bin and wac etc to override any or all of the internal commands.

Simply rename any bms to one of these and see what happens - when you open your map in the editor, all the objectives will have changed, this will be according to the map name selected from below.

Dialogs and other normally hidden attributes will become available in the events section of the MEd.


Use these names for Single Player (or COOP if you have the COOP Me Now exe)

FOOTNOTE*
Clarify
Open your map in the editor and save it as one of the map names above.

Your mission file must be renamed if you want to edit it and see the functions but you can save it as another name to keep a record.
Example:

To edit SPBHD_16.mis save as SPBHD_16.bms

To keep a record MyMapSPBHD_16.mis save as MyMapSPBHD_16.bms

but how to edit dialogs?
