Missing Names

tekka warrior · Posted: Thu Feb 07, 2013 6:46 pm Post subject: Missing Names

Hello!

So recently iv been adding units and structures and i edit the csf file for the names yet sometimes even if i specify the name in rules.ini i get a missing name in game.

For example i added another apocalypse and i named it AAPOC I add this in the csf and i specify it rules.ini yet i get a missing name.Is there a specific amount of letters or something?

Thanks!

P.S:Im using red alert 2 not yr

You added into ra2.csf right? Where have you copied that CSF?

Yes its in the red alert 2 directory and extracted it from the language.mix

Note:previous new names worked however there are some not working like this one

Did you check if your .csf file in the RA2 directory was overwritten by something else (most likely by the mod launcher)?

Open that .csf file and see if it still has those new strings.

Yes it has those added strings and it was not overwritten by any file, so what could that possibly be?

Have you:

Checked to see if you typo'd
Used upper case in the string file & the rules ini
Used any non standard characters

In rulesmd.ini, change the unit's UIName to the GI's, and change the GI's to the new unit's. Type both out by hand, do not copy and paste.
Report back with the result.

Upload your string file so we can test it out.

I think I see the problem already, the NAME: needs to be lower case, Name:
try that and see if it solves the problem

Nope no luck.

Besides some names are written in capital letters and they work.

This is getting frustrating Rolling Eyes

I dont understand how previous names work but some didnt

Any further help?

Isn't there a limit on how many strings the game loads? Maybe you have reached it...

Are the not working ones the same that you added recently?
Try removing some older strings, and check it after.

RA2StrEdit says the file is corrupted & can not be opened, XCC loads it fine tho :/

So the file is messed up somewhere so the game cant read it properly. I've never seen or heard of this happening before so have no idea of how to fix it, so I'd suggest starting over again with a fresh csf file.

It's probably not that low. I've added hundreds of strings before and had the game load it properly. If the CSF is showing as corrupted, that's probably why it's not working.

Though, I would really like to see the UIName lines in the rules file. It's probably a casing issue.

I tested it out ingame without successes using UIName=

NAME:NAGARD
name:nagard
NAME:nagard
name:NAGARD

Maybe we've run across one of those weird hardcoded issues, but did you try Name:NAGARD?

Yup Tried EVERYTHING possible yet no result, so i assume its either corrupt or reached the limit.

So should i start over?

Mig Eater · Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2013 2:40 pm Post subject:

Yes it seams that the file is corrupted so you'll have to get a fresh csf file & start over. You can also try RA2StrEdit instead of the XCC string editor.
