Title: where has my stringtable gone?
Post by: D_P_ on 30 Mar 2007, 03:56:44

So I'm almost finished with a ctf im making, and want to customize the flag_taken _msg except the mission doesn't have a stringtable?!
The flag_taken trigger states this:

Code: [Select]

ownerR = flagowner vlajkaRus; titletext[format [localize "STR_MP_FLAG_TAKEN_E", name ownerR], "Plain down"]; PrycR=true;
Where do I edit "STR_MP_FLAG_TAKEN_E" to say the message i want?
I tried...

Code: [Select]

ownerR = flagowner vlajkaRus; titletext[format [localize "%1 has taken the Biker's Flag!\nGet him!", name ownerR], "Plain down"]; PrycR=true;
...but alas when the flag is taken - there is no text at all. :(

Wtf happened to the stringtable?!  :dunno:

Stringtable is a text file example attached for your perusal and study.

thanks Planck, by your response and example - i'm guessing the default msg in my ctf is being called from somewhere inside the game - I always assumed it was called from the stringtable in the ctf's folder.  :D thanks again~

Yes, your custom message should be in your own stringtable inside the mission folder, if you have no stringtable.csv file there just write it yourself.
