Title: Renaming my fort
Post by: JoshBrickstien on November 06, 2010, 05:27:35 pm

Is there any way to rename my fort? Whether by Utilities, modding or other? I really wish I had named my Fort "BlackChasm" instead of "EarthenCity."
Is it possible to rename it? Or will it ruin my save?

Why's it gotta be black?

I don't think there is a way to rename your fort, either through utilities or anything else.

As for whether its possible to, I doubt it.

I see I'm not the only one who looked up what "Moria" means...

I've never come across any fort renaming feature in-game, nor any utilities for it.  It's not really that frequently requested, though I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard to code.

You'd want to go inquiring about the offsets for fort name I would imagine.

Imagination :)
I'm sure if you dug around your save files a bit you could find it, although you would have to be experienced in 'digging around'.
