Choose custom race before start

[Chizume]

Greetings Dear Hivers,

I have searched the web for a solution for over 2h+, but with no success. I want to make it possible to choose a custom race before starting the map. I wish to replace, not add. So simply changing the name of an already existing one is enough. Don't come say it won't work - I have seen it been done before.

For instance, replacing Night Elf with Dwarf or Undead with Troll.

Open and load your map. Go to Advanced -> Game interface. You should tick the box to use the custom game interface.
In this long table you should find the things that you need.
Hope I could help ya.

However, this will NOT change until the map has already been loaded.
Afterwards, all other occurences of those Orc/Night Elf whatever will change for all other maps, until those maps are loaded.

Example, I open your map in the game, and the races will read: Human, Orc, Night Elf, Undead.

Once I've run your map, they will now read: Human, Orc, Dwarf, Troll.
However, I now open a new map, and the races will still read: Human, Orc, Dwarf, Troll.
Once the map is run, the values will reset to their original (or whatever the map maker specified those to be).

Alright, I understand the situation. I tested it with great success. Now the issue is replaced with another dilemma, as usual! Nevertheless, thank you very much for the help.
