Custom Call Tutorials

Have you wanted to create custom calls but don't understand the existing method of exporting something called an xml file from a Google Doc Spreadsheet? Here I show you how to using only a text editor. I will add a video with more complex functions, custom audio and additional languages in the future!

Originally posted by Adam, JutsuGames:

Only one tip: you probably have a problem with translation, because you didn’t use UTF-8 encoding. You can enable it (or convert file to that format) in Notepad++. Just choose Encoding in the option panel and use Convert to UTF-8.

The same for line 14 and 15 (id="4b" and id="4c").
