Will new patch overwrite modded localization files?

[motorboatJones]

I modded my localization files with 1.3. Before installing the patch I would like to know if the new patch will overwrite the .utxt files? Thanks

I used the SaladFork Localization files a while back. WHen I went from 1.22 to 1.3 it wiped them for some reason. I only say that because it is better to back up just in case, ya never know.

If you use the full patch, it will overwrite your localization files. The incremental may or may not update all your custom localization files, leaving you with funky names for the new map points and stuff on jalalabhad.

If you have customized localization files, such as mine, then I suggest backing your files up and using the full patch.

If you use the incremental and begin noticing issues with your text in game... then repatch with the full client.

I will have my 1.4 localization files ready to release within a day or so. Certainly by the weekend.

That was exactly what I did Ring. Thanks for the clarification.

Yes, thank you for clearing that up.

I'll be backing up my utxt file and just going with incremental. I'll post here if I have any issues to see if it helps any.
