Whenever I want to change the default.txt file, it just messes up all of the text in the game. Like, if I want it to say "Red team has the flag" instead of "Alpha team has the flag", the buttons in the menu screen are all messed up. They just don't display the right text. Is that normal, or am I doing something wrong?

''It took me a while to figure it out too. The default.txt file seems to respond erratically if you were to change it using a fairly new (last 100 years)text editing program, lets say, Notepad. If you save it with Notepad, it causes the alignment if the lines of text to mess up when applied to Soldat, resulting in some interesting menus.

So the default.txt text can only be changed using the ancient text editing program known as MS-DOS Editor. Run DOS and type "edit" (no quotes) to run the program, then open the default.txt.''
