Wierd Problem With ModBuddy/ Names Not Showing

[blazekid87]

Hello all. I have been trying to create a mod that adds new civilizations. I followed the guide written by Kael and I got stuck because all my names showed up as "TXT_KEY_LEADER_ISABELLA" or "TXT_KEY_CIV_SPAIN_SHORT_DESC". I have activated all XML files and provided correct paths. I even went line by line comparing my code to the celtic civ. Everything is pretty much the same with the exception for names. I couldnt figure out the problem.

My next step was to manually add all the celtic files into modbuddy without editing them. I loaded up the mod and I get the same outcome. It shows up "TXT_KEY_LEADER_BOUDICA - TXT_KEY_CIV_SPAIN_SHORT_DESC". I dont get it, everything is activated, the code is unchanged yet i still get the same outcome.

I got frustrated and decided to edit the XML with notepad. Low and behold....it works!!! I think Ive covered all my bases and I can confidently say theres a bug somewhere. I also have a little experience with coding in C# and XML so I understand the code I am writing.

Anybody else having this issue?

welcome to the forums!

are you not running ciV in english? If not that is the problem. I think most mods at this point are only set up to work with english.

otherwise I'm not sure what the problem is.

Yea I am running it in English. Im wondering if exporting through Visual Studio might do the trick. By the way, my database log also shows:

But all those names show up correctly. Im ready to start banging my head on the desk. It all seems so simple until it doesn't work. Thanks for the welcome by the way, been here for a while, juss never posted

adding a new civ is pretty simple. There have been a few people around here with your same problem, but I am unsure if they got it fixed or what the solution was, maybe try in the technical support or wait a little while, maybe someone will chime in this thread.

SOLVED:

The solution is even more wierd than the problem because in fact it really does not fix anything. I opened the GameText.xml with notepad and edited the name. I saved it and it works. Something is up with modbuddy....i hope they fix this.

 

[Shiggs713]

yea it still acts weird if you don't do things exactly the way it wants you to.

Thankfully the goat's been sacrificed for me it seems. I know how to please it.

Explain how you fixed this in more detail please!!!

I have spent the past several hours with this very problem (unsolved and incredibly frustrating)...

I don't see any errors anywhere when I "build" the mod... it just doesn't seem to load or I don't know what...
