Change Server Rules Button?

[graylyn 2]

I would like to change the default vanilla XM8's Server Rules button to something else.

There is not much assistance I can find on here, but I made an app called rules, and the Server Rules button tells my players to check there.

I would like to rename it Server Information if possible.

Just create an overwrite for ExileClient_gui_xm8_slide_apps_onOpen and paste in a button ontop of the existing server rules button. You'll need to make or find a .paa image for your new button and assign the directory to the button. So in step by step we will add the overwrite to CfgExileCustomCode

//XM8 Home Screen
ExileClient_gui_xm8_slide_apps_onOpen = "overwrites\ExileClient_gui_xm8_slide_apps_onOpen.sqf";

and then we will edit ExileClient_gui_xm8_slide_apps_onOpen and add in our new button over top the existing button.

I ended up doing this, and the button is not being overwritten.

Custom code is there as well.

Edit:

10:43:46 Could not load 'Custom\XM8HomeOverwrite\ExileClient_gui_xm8_slide_apps_onOpen.sqf '. Extension not listed in allowedPreprocessFileExtensions
10:43:46 "ERROR: Override of ExileClient_gui_xm8_slide_apps_onOpen in CfgExileCustomCode points to a non-existent file: Custom\XM8HomeOverwrite\ExileClient_gui_xm8_slide_apps_onOpen.sqf . Defaulting to vanilla Exile code!"
