so far very easy to handle, my new problem is that because the format is choatic, I can't seem to find... you know how in renpy files the dev makes a code to name a character and then he can use commands for that character? so I can simply open a script here (in this game) and simply change the name of cait for example to my mothers name (just an example ofc...) but then it will change codes like "if cait is present". so what I need to find is the main "this is the character name" file, then I change the name and later when I insta change Cait into whatever it will change the entire notpad name of cait to whatever I need. changing both the dialogue that appears but also the commands. the only way to not break the game is if that character name is also changed. this way nothing will be broken, but I need to find the main section where this character is named cait so all other commands are using "cait".Okay, so listen me very carefully, because I wont repeat it twice. I recommend you to write it down. Or even better turn on audio recorder on your phone. It present even in old nokias from ancient pre-twitter times.
This is instruction for windows.
If you on android you out of luck, since all neccesry files located on internal, system storage which is unavailable for users without root access.
If you on linux instruction is the same as for windows.
If you on mac os
Step 1. Open up folder with a file 'CoC II.exe'. File name should be without quotes ('), thats just to highlight what file name should be.
In folder that you just opened should be three additional folders 'locales', 'resources' and 'swiftshader'. Again names of the folders should be without quotes (' symbol).
Step 2. Open folder with name 'resources'. There are should be file 'electron.asar' and folder 'app'. As mentioned previously names provided with quotes (') to separate names of the files/folders from plain text, so look for the names without quotes (' symbol).
Step 3. Open 'app' folder. Depending on the version of the shit thats called 'game' you have, you should see something like this
Everything that have name 'Content_whatever' and have extension 'js' is a script files that contains mangled code and text in one tight, minified package. To edit something you should open each file, to find what you looking for, and edit it. In case you forget, quotes (' symbol) should be absent from the names of a files.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Congratulation, you located script files. Hope my quick tutorial helped you. Like, subscribe and comment for more helpful videos. You can also support me on patreon. Now a quick shoutout for my todays sponsor raid shadow legends...

I always wondered why players weren't allowed to rename party characters. I think it made devs job easier to remember a specific name. if only I could find that line where the main characters are named, then I would be able to change the entire dialogue of the entire game to whatever I need.
edit:
so apparently it's somewhere there in the files. I don't know where, but replacing cait's name in every single script she appears did the trick. only thing is that it removed her pictures/busts, so I need to rename it correctly to make sure it works again (path name or something probably)
edit 2: changing the "cait" name to my mothers name (as an example only!!) in every picture in the other folders did the trick. so now I can also change pictures in the game... oh boy that's disturbing on many levels.
