Something is happening when you use '
Try deleting them.
RE: English Lang file doesn't work :( - Amnesiaplayer - 10-06-2014

PHP Code:
<Entry Name="ItemDesc_sleutel">A key to exit you´re house!</Entry>
For one, the word should be your, but if you ever need to use you're, use the apostrophe sign ' and not the accent sign ´
The use of this sign might also be an issue, because this sign isn't supposed to be used alone, but rather in combination with another letter. It makes é á ó etc.

It shouldn't matter though right? It's just a string of text after all. It's not executing code or anything. I have a bunch of apostrophes in my text entries and they all work perfectly fine.

It will change something, if the .lang file is seeing it as an important symbol that changes the code.
Then it DEFINITELY matters.
There's a difference between this ' and this ´ and that's what's important here!
RE: English Lang file doesn't work :( - Mudbill - 10-07-2014
Apostrophies are fine to use.
RE: English Lang file doesn't work :( - Amnesiaplayer - 10-07-2014
Ow... thanks Mudbill and other who tell this..
but i don't think it's the problem of this.. because this happened right after i paste this
<CATEGORY Name="DeathCategory">
<Entry Name="Hint1"></Entry>
</CATEGORY>
then it stopped working... so i erased it, and it still doesn't work?!?!
and yes i'm not good at english :S (Dutch)
RE: English Lang file doesn't work :( - FlawlessHappiness - 10-07-2014
If you delete it, and it still doesn't work, it's not the problem.
If you delete it, and it works again, you deleted the problem.
So this is clearly not the problem. You must've editted something else.
RE: English Lang file doesn't work :( - Amnesiaplayer - 10-07-2014
Lo... got some Mindf :S
my LANG FILE worked the most times.... it's not 100% that it's by the deathtext but i added some things. firstly. 2 notes were EMPTY.. i added something in it.... (not 3 and 4 ((i think)))
and then later i added DEathhint. and then i tried to test it. but it doesn't show my custom story description and nothings works. like the door.. If i click on it the locked-message doesn't appear , notes are emtpy, everything
i erased it, but it still doesn't work??!!? is the problem by the end?!PHP Code:

it's Really long. and wierd. i know my english isn't good. but is it possible that the problem is in the notes?
(the names are good in-level editor, because firstly the notes Name was : LATER and the Text was COMING LATER and it worked)
Weird*
