TLDR: This is a very simple client modification to properly display the covert/declared status in the character window on a server like Finalizer that enabled the pre-13.1 covert/overt faction system.
Description: SWGEmu implemented a config flag allowing Core 3 servers to select between GCW faction systems being pre-13.1 covert/overt (SWG's original system) or the post-13.1 GCW revamp system of On Leave/Combatant/SF. Currently, SWGEmu doesn't have the capability to distribute patches to users and so if you're playing on finalizer you'll be covert/overt but the character screen still displays combatant/SF.
This 'mod' (very simple string replacement) will display the correct covert/declared text (as per pre-13.1) if you're currently playing on Finalizer (or any other Core 3 covert/overt server).
Instructions:
Download ui_charsheet.stf
A reminder that if you've not logged into the server since covert/overt was enabled by the server, you'll initially be flagged as on-leave. You'll need to talk to a recruiter to trigger the change over to covert/declared.
Any questions let me know! In the future when SWGEmu can distribute patches/updates via a launcher this should be no longer required.
Thanks very much to the SWGEmu team/project for restoring the excellent covert/overt system to SWG.

Instructions:
- Locate your SWGEmu install directory (wherever your launcher points to, it will contain SWGEmu.exe)
- Make folders string\en\ (for example you might be in
C:\SWGEmu\string\en) - Place the attached ui_charsheet.stf file into the en folder. For example it'll be located:
C:\SWGEmu\string\en\ui_charsheet.stf - Close all clients and re-launch.
