Guys: I want to clean up an asc file to remove load names no longer on the aircraft. Here's an example:ORIGINAL FILE REFERENCE:
"67; Name Number
RAileron" CURRENT REFERENCES IN THE FILE:
"67; Name Number
RAileron"
"85; Name Number
RAileron1"
"87; Name Number
RAileron2"
"90; Name Number
RAileron3" The only lod in use is "RAileron3". I want to rename it back to "RAileron" and delete the other references. Is it as simple as just doing that or will it mess up something?? What is the right way to do this? Thanks! ------------------

Well, I spent some time working on this. You can use a find & replace function to change the name references. However, you can't just delete the no longer needed lines from the asc file. That causes the game to lock up.I couldn't get OPS to delete the "name" either. Anyone have some suggestions,please?

Ronin, You cannot delete those lines in OPS yet. Bryan is working on that and should be adding it to a later release.Raider 33rd~GS IP: Logged |

You should be able to rename the part at least using OPS. Assuming Raileron is not actually a part, just click on the "names" tab on the left, find Raileron3, rename it to Raileron, save, exit and restart OPS.The old Raileron3 will now be called Raileron, but there may still be a name listed for Raileron3. Pretty dangerous to actually delete "sections" of the .asc file. You can get away with removing a property or a obBodyPt vertex, but removing a model or .lod or a comment is not wise. Even just inserting a texture file reference is pretty sporty

Jedi: Thanks for the reply. I've already renamed everything to my desired names using a text editor. I guess I'll just hold off on removing the unused names for a while.
