The localization file will be the names file for the language your using.

Names_ENU.xml for english.

You can just drop the map into my documents\my games\sids\customassests\maps

also if you worried about crashing your current localization file back it up or copy it over to customassets\ and edit that one instead.

Just copy over the info inside RRT_Names_MEXICO.xml to the names_enu.xml file. You onlt have to copy from the first <TextKey> to the last <\TextKey>. the other info will be in the names_enu.xml. Also goto the bottom of the file to add the info starting after the last <\TextKey>

E.G.

<TextKey>
<Tag>TAG_US_SOUTHWEST_NAME_TEHACHAPI</Tag>
<Text>Tehachapi</Text>
<Gender>M</Gender>
</TextKey>
<TextKey>
<Tag>TAG_US_SOUTHWEST_NAME_SAN_DIEGO</Tag>
<Text>San Diego</Text>
<Gender>M</Gender>
</TextKey>
<TextKey>
<Tag>TAG_US_SOUTHWEST_NAME_YUMA</Tag>
<Text>Yuma</Text>
<Gender>M</Gender>
</TextKey>

<TextKey>
<Tag>TAG_MEXICO_ACAPALUCO</Tag>
<Text>Acapaluco</Text>
<Gender>M</Gender>
</TextKey>


Someone else might be better at explaining than me since I am a poor teacher :D

Great map - thanks!

But how do i get the names? There's no names.xml file, and they're all called "nameless city".

the names file is located in xml\localization\names_enu.xml

Copy the names from the rar file RRT_NAMES_MEXICO.XML to the file above.

Hey dwax just managed to get it running myself.
First i coped all the data between the tags, but the names weren't there still.
I found i had copied the start tags too. I deleted them.
Then it crashed.
That was because i hadn't deleted the end tags.
Find the last of these tags in the file:
</TextKey>
Inster this data after it:
<TextKey>
<Tag>TAG_MEXICO_CORPUS_CHRISTIE</Tag>
<Text>Corpus Christie</Text>
<Gender>M</Gender>
</TextKey>
<TextKey>
<Tag>TAG_MEXICO_LAREDO</Tag>

This will prob come easier in the future. As Firaxis have said the next patch will be mainly for the editor and using Akmads program can help ease stuff too. I use his program for a lot of stuff.

The cities could also be created in the Railroads Scenario Manager. That was how I put my hometown and St. Louis in the Midwest map.
I'm correct 97% of the time..... who cares about the other 4%....
