The Case of the disipearing String References

from Sins Forums

I am making a mod, that make use of the descriptions for the pirate heavy frigate, siege frigate, and anti-fighter frigate.

The wierd part is, Sins developer tells me that the strings don't exist!!

I have dbl checked my spelling and such many times. It's as if the string file exists for the pirate ships, and NOT FOR MINE!!!!!

Also, don't, after most string faliours, all the game does is say "String not found"?

well, in this, Developer tells me that the string doesn't exist, then it gives a series of incomprehensible messages, then sins completly crashes.

Very wierd.

not it.
If it was, sins wouldn't crash.

Besides, I am using the normal sins string file. SUPPOSIBLY the strings already exist.

figured it out.

Sins crashes if the description string reference is wrong.


And the description strings are only needed if you are building the unit.



I looked in the string file, and the description strings for the pirate medium, and scout do exist, but not the ones for the heavy, anti-fighter, and seige.

Aparently, the Devs starting giving description strings for the medium and scout pirate frigates. But when they got to the others they must have thought, "you know, no one is going to be building these ships, why are we making description strings for them?"
