"TXT_KEY_ZULU" and similar things.

[2shlee]

Some of my units and leaders, instead of their name, it comes up as "TXT_KEY_ZULU" and stuff like that. It's enough to annoy the hell out of me.

Background information: I bought Gold Edition Civ4, which had the same problem. Then I got BtS, patched the damn thing up, but I still have the same problem. I tried re-isntalling twice.

Help me~

welcome to cfc

Well, here's what I did:

Updated Patch
Then got BtS.
Updated to lastest Patch

And reinstalled twice


And I still ahve the same problem D:

gold edition cannot be patched - i.e. there is no patch available that recognizes it since it is already patched fully. You might want to uninstall completely and reinstall, i.e. also remove all the traces that the uninstaller leaves - have you done so before? if not I'll post a list on what to remove

I meant to say try to patch**

Yeah, I think I have unstialled it, but I'll do it again. BRB 30 minutes

I reinstalled it, and exact same countries/name/personailities/units have the TXT_KEY_ . .. .. .. . going on.

The phenomon of TXT_OMG_LAME_. .. .. .. . is primarily Celtics, Carthage, Ottoman, Korea, and Zulu, and their respective leaders, addition to some like Ramses and Augustus. Some of the units like catapult and several special units have the same problem.

Help Please~

While this wont fix your install, installing a mod like Varietas Delecat - should fix the keying issue - since it will be overwriting all the unit texts et al.
VD will also upgrade unit/building graphics, along with renaming a few base units, like Maceman -> Heavy Footman, Horse Archer -> Horseman - which some find bothersome/annoying.

When not using Varietas Delecat you'd still wind up with the issue - it may be installable into customAssets though - which would resolve it completely.

are you using a non-latin character operating system by any chance (i.e. usually some asian language windows)?

I am using Chinese operation system, and I do experienced some the xml problems, but I hand fixed them. I thought it was just my instaltion that was corrupted, does it has something to do with operation system?

 

[ori]

There have been numerous reports of non-latin OS versions giving these kinds of problems when Civ4 was first released - I thought these were fixed, but maybe not?

Looking thru the game files, if you are actually getting:
TXT_KEY_ZULU... that appears to be wrong.
This is from the program files install for Beyond the Sword:
\Assets\XML\Civilizations\CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml

		<CivilizationInfo>
			<Type>CIVILIZATION_ZULU</Type>
			<Description>TXT_KEY_CIV_ZULU_DESC</Description>
			<ShortDescription>TXT_KEY_CIV_ZULU_SHORT_DESC</ShortDescription>
			<Adjective>TXT_KEY_CIV_ZULU_ADJECTIVE</Adjective>
			<Civilopedia>TXT_KEY_CIV_ZULU_PEDIA</Civilopedia>

It looks like the keys that are showing up TXT_KEY_<CIVNAME> should be replaced in the file - possibly in other locations with: TXT_KEY_CIV_<CIVNAME>
