Get Text into Game via XML

[ruff_hi]

I'm stuck. I have this code ...

from BugOptions import OptionsFacade, Option, OptionList								
from CvPythonExtensions import *
localText = CyTranslator()
					
class BugAlertsOptions(OptionsFacade):								
								
	def __init__(self):							
		OptionsFacade.__init__(self)						
								
		zs_Text = localText.getText("TXT_KEY_BUGOPTIONS_ALERT_REMINDERS_TEXT", ())
		zsHover = localText.getText("TXT_KEY_BUGOPTIONS_ALERT_REMINDERS_HOVER", ())

... which is trying to read data from an XML file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

</Civ4GameText>

... but all I get on screen is the 'TXT_KEY_BUGOPTIONS_ALERT_REMINDERS_TEXT' text. I guess I am doing something wrong but I cannot see it. The XML log reports that the file loads ok. HELP!

stupid Civ4 - I copied the above text (localtext.gettext) to a different file and it worked, no ifs buts or maybes. I copied some text that I know works to the BUGOptions file and it stopped working. This tells me that I don't have a coding issue.

Other reasons for not working?

- maybe the __init__ is firing too early and the XML file isn't loaded in time
- I don't know what I am doing

My bet is that it is number 2!

I noticed on occasions, that the civ4 xml parser does choke on comments from time to time.
