Ironworks Gaming Forum - Shutting up Sebastio

You need a hex editor (I use UltraEdit)
<00> is a hex 00 character (called a null) and terminates all strings

The file is call GMDATA.PAK in you main WW directory
Back it up before you change it

The offsets given (in hex) are for the patched version of the game

Find the first string in the file, leave it as is. Then find the reset and replace as instructed
