Metadata Strings
The metadata strings page allows you to edit text used as metadata for the gametype.
The fields available to edit are as follows:
- Name
- A localized name for the game variant.
- Description
- A localized description for the game variant.
- Category
- A localized name for the category. This isn't used in Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Presumably, in the Xbox 360 release of Halo: Reach, this would be used to name an extended category ID if a game variant used one.
- Generic Name
- In Halo: The Master Chief Collection, this is used to generate a localization
key for the game variant filename. If a certain flag is set inside of the game
variant file, then its embedded title will be ignored in favor of a localization
key of the form
$HR_GVAR_GenericNameHere. However, ReachVariantTool always clears that flag in order to ensure that you can actually set a game variant's name.
