help with string file

Guest123

as it says in the description my strings are having no effect in-game

these are the only ones that i have tried so far:

Personality:Challenge
"Challenge"
END

NAME:GDIMiniOrca
"Mini Orca"
END

any help would be appreciated

Now I don't know exactly what you are trying to do but when I made my Commando's fully stealthed except when firing i changed the string file so the description would say they're stealthed instead of stealthed unless moving or w/e it said before. So I made it look like this:

Code:

TYPE:NODCommando
"Elite Infantry. Strong vs. Infantry, Structures"
END
DESC:NODCommando
"Abilities: \n »Stealthed \n »Destroy Walkers \n »Destroy Structures \n »Call For Transport \n Only one Commando may be trained at a time"
END

NAME:NODCommando
"Commando"
END

Only thing that buggers me is that the >>stealthed and such won't go a little on the right like EA made description for rest, they're right under the abilities text but w/e

Hmm, well 1st time for me it didn't work because it didn't compile right for some reason, then I just arranged the files by name and 15 seconds later it worked lol Neutral

Though with my code it should work, I don't know if you can only change the NAME code I think you might need the full package for the unit but who knows.

Oh and most important question just realised it now, did you delete this text at top of mod.str ?

// String file for Command & Conquer 3

Well I was checking a topic on another site days ago, I know myself its a comment but some people said they had to delete it to get it working.

If you use the Build Studio you have to put the mod.str to "RA3 Mod SDK\Mods\[YourMod]\Additional\Data" and check the option "Copy additional files". That's all.
