extra_english.lang help! - Revango - 08-10-2012
Okay guys, here's the deal. I have a custom story already in place, I know all the ins and outs of it. But my crappy scripting skills are really holding me back from making this stroy as epic as I see it.
My biggest problem right now is figuring out how to make multiple notes on the same map. For example, when my custom story starts out, I want to have two notes: One on a desk and one on the floor by the door. However, I can't seem to get the scripting right in my .lang file because when I try to make a the second note's script, the description for my CS disappears and so does the text in the note I have on the desk.
Here's what my .lang file looks like now.
<LANGUAGE>
<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
<Entry Name="Description">
Thirteen years. It took thirteen years of unrelenting studying and experiments of anatomy, physiology, biology and chemistry to bring the Professor far enough to create life. To show God that he no longer holds the power of life in his hands alone. Like God, he created this being in his image.[br]Unfortunately, The Professor is not loving as God is.</Entry>

I thought that moving to my study would somehow aid in reducing these terrors but they are unrelenting. They all have the same ambient, terrifying darkness that seems to ensnare me within itself. The screams circle around me as if I were prey.. Never fleeting, just intensifying in volume and pain.. HE WAS FREE.. .[br][br]I must speak with Höhle immediately. Safety measures must be amplifies.

What I'm asking is where should I put the second letter, which we'll call LOL (lol), in my .lang file?
Any help would be appreciated!
RE: extra_english.lang help! - Adny - 08-10-2012
Inside of the "Journal" Category, simply make another note the same way you did your first one, the structure would be something like:
Category: Journal
Entry Name
Entry Text
Entry Name
Entry Text
End Category
You should never have 2 categories with the same name or else none of the lang will work properly.
Hope that helped!

Maybe it's part of the syntax I screwed up on?
