Title: Greeting messages and strings.
Post by: Cougarxr7 on 06 Jul 2009, 16:06:05

I ran a greeting message in Armed Assault. Try it in Arma and it gave me an error.
Can't remmember the error but I will try again, just to refresh my memory.
Is it different in Arma to setup titletext, than Armed Asault?
Also strings, I have seen these all over, "STR_M04t16_0", "STR_M04t24", "STR_M04t106", ect.., ect..
Where can I find the reference file to those strings?
Thank you for helping!

Those references are to stringtable entries.  But to do a simple titleText (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/titleText), you'll just need, e.g.:

Code: [Select]

player titleText["Hello!", "PLAIN DOWN"];

Take a read of this (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/CSV_File_Format_-_Stringtables) on the Biki.  It explains the use of Stringtables.

JamesF1,
 I am aware of the csv format, however the stingtable.csv used to be in the mission folder with the mission in Armed Assault.
Now in Arma2 there is no stringtable.csv in the mission folder.
Arma2 is using the stringtable.xml.
Please do me a favor and find this "STR_M04t60".
I have looked in the, "language.pbo", "languagemissions.pbo", and more.
Please let me know where you found it.
Thanks!

<Key ID="str_m04t60"><German>FLUGFELD</German></Key>languagecore/ca/languagemissions/stringtable.xml

Sorry, I misunderstood your question - I thought you were merely puzzled by the strange 'strings' :)
