Asset Manager

To create different locales in Asset Manager, you need to edit this file:

<root>\deffiles\material.gdf

Open up material.gdf in a text editor. Find the section that looks like this:

// Locale specifications.  Adding a new locale also requires adding a checkbox for it.
// Locale specifications must match the locales in 'locale.txt' exactly, with spaces
// replaced by '_' and with 'locale_' prefixed.
int 0 0 1 locale_case
int 0 0 1 locale_test
int 0 0 1 locale_tools
int 0 0 1 locale_decal

int 0 0 1 locale_Training
int 0 0 1 locale_Peleliu
int 0 0 1 locale_Okinawa
int 0 0 1 locale_Holland
int 0 0 1 locale_Hamburg
int 0 0 1 locale_Rhine
int 0 0 1 locale_Berlin
int 0 0 1 locale_Seelow

To add a locate, copy one of the exiting entries and append it to the end of this list. Lets add a locale called Asset_Test. So, in this case, the change you make should make the end of this list look like:

int 0 0 1 locale_Berlin
int 0 0 1 locale_Seelow
int 0 0 1 locale_Asset_Test

Later in the material.gdf file, look for a section that looks like this:

 hcontainer
 {
       checkbox( locale_Industrial )
       [
               exec
               {
                       righttext()
                       height( 15 )
                       label( "Industrial" )
               }
       ]
       checkbox( locale_Poland )
       [
               exec
               {
                       righttext()
                       height( 15 )
                       label( "Poland" )
               }
       ]
       checkbox( locale_Modern_America )
       [
               exec
               {
                       righttext()
                       height( 15 )
                       label( "Modern America" )
               }
       ]
       checkbox( locale_Saint_Lo )
       [
               exec
               {
                       righttext()
                       height( 15 )
                       label( "Saint Lo" )
               }
       ]

Copy an exiting entry, and add your entry to this list. So, for "Asset_Test", this section would now looks like:

       checkbox( locale_Saint_Lo )
       [
               exec
               {
                       righttext()
                       height( 15 )
                       label( "Saint Lo" )
               }
       ]
       checkbox( locale_Asset_Test )
       [
               exec
               {
                       righttext()
                       height( 15 )
                       label( "Asset Test" )
               }
       ]

Radiant

Now, in Asset Manager, when editing a material, "Asset Test" will show up as a locale. However, it won't show up in Radiant.

In order to make the locale show up in Radiant, open up the file:

<root>\deffiles\materials\locale.txt

To the bottom of this list, add you locale, in this case "Asset Test." The locale will now appear in Radiant and should display any materials that have been checked with the locale "Asset Test" in asset manager.
