How to use hud_us.le_strings

[freezyburn]

I want to add some unlockables to my saints row 4 i already have one (instant reload for special weapons like snipers) it is in the game but it does not have any text and i want to add it, i know i need to use hud_us.le_strings and i already have the file but how do i use it? when i look at it i have lines like this:

1243492005: "INSTANT RELOAD - RIFLES"

if i want to add a text how do i get it for that unlockable that i made and how do i know what that number part (124392005 in the code i showed you) needs to be?
Thanks for any help
EDIT: if you want any translator for a hud.le_string I'm dutch and if i know how to use it i want to help you

If you're seeing that number then you didn't extract it correctly. It should be a variable name like: UNLOCK_RELOAD_RIFLE (or something like that) and not a number.

The same issue here using the SRTT version might give you some insight:

A batch file is simply a set of commands to do, one after the other. You could achieve the same result by manually typing that stuff on the command line. A batch file just makes that process easier so you can "batch" it out.

To create a batch file:
* Create a text file
* Change the .txt extension to .bat
* Right click on the file and choose edit (it will automatically open in notepad)
* Type your commands in it and save
* Double click the file to run it

I personally like adding a pause on the last line so that the window doesn't close and I can confirm that all commands completed successfully. The last line should simply be:
pause

I just did that with the batch file but i still get those numbers

It sounds like you didn't point it at the right path for your extracted archive.

 

[freezyburn]

this is what my batch looks like:
ThomasJepp.SaintsRow.ExtractStrings.exe -xtbl="C:\Users\username\Desktop\ThomasJepp.SaintsRow-rev22" hud_us.le_strings
pause

Do you have the entire contents of misc_tables.vpp_pc extracted here to this folder?
"C:\Users\username\Desktop\ThomasJepp.SaintsRow-rev22"

Because that argument needs to point to where they actually are extracted.

Also, there is absolutely no way that path is correct. "username" should be your actual windows profile name.
