The strategic map labels render from dico_maps (UIStrategicLabelsOnMapResources.ndf → LabelVille uses TextDico = ~/LocalisationConstantes/dico_maps).
I registered dico_maps → MAPS.csv in my mod's LocalisationDicos.ndf and it loads fine as a dictionary.
But the compiled .dic (TRAD format) stores tokens as hashes, not readable strings — so I can't get the original token that, say, "Alsfeld" uses, which I'd need in my MAPS.csv to override it.
The map editor uses localisation tokens for labels, but works from LevelBuild source — and Eugen only ships the baked strategic maps, so I can't open the existing one to re-token its labels.
How do you override a baked strategic map's town-label text through a mod? Is there a way to get the readable dico_maps token for an existing label?
Is the localisation token hash algorithm known, or is there a tool that dumps base tokens (readable token + text), not just hash + text?
If neither — is editing labels on a baked map without source genuinely impossible, or is there a known workaround (extracting + re-baking the strategic map)?
