Title: Replacing BIS Stringtable Values
Post by: Canukausiuka on 06 Jan 2009, 03:36:18

I'm working on a total conversion mod, and as such, I'd like to be able to replace some of the stringtable entries that BIS used for Arma.  I have set up my stringtable just like I would for OFP, but unlike OFP, Arma is ignoring my new entries and using BIS's.  I know that the stringtable is loading (I used the same stringtable on something new, and it worked fine), but I do not know how to get it to overwrite the pre-existing value.  The arma.RPT has lines indicating this, for example:

Code: [Select]

Item STR_WEST listed twice
Item STR_EAST listed twiceAny help on fixing this would be appreciated.  I'd rather not have to include the entire user interface config and repath all of the strings to fix this.  ;)

Yeah, I know there are multiple stringtables.  Mine is in an addon in a mod folder, though, and I had assumed it would overwrite the value previously loaded from the root directories.
