Weird Note Glitch - afroduckie - 09-01-2013

I keep getting a weird glitch with notes. I checked multiple sources to confirm that I did it correctly, but the notes do not work. The .lang file is good (the CS description works). What is the problem? NO NOTES SHOW UP! They all worked before, and then when I added a new one they all broke.

It'd be helpful if you posted the contents of your Lang file.

Did you rename the note? Let's say we did it YourNote1.

Now:
Code:
<LANGUAGE>
<CATEGORY="Journal">
<Entry Name="Note_YourNote1_Name"> Your Note</Entry>
<Entry Name="Note_YourNote1_Text"> Example text.</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
</LANGUAGE>

Yes, I did it all correctly. I triple checked with a couple different sources. I am assuming it is a glitch, but I re-named the note and filled in the name in the 'NoteText' area and nothing works.

Nothing too crazy at the moment.

It should be

<Entry Name="Note_[name of note in Level Editor]_Name">text here</Entry>
<Entry Name="Note_[name of note in Level Editor]_Text">text here</Entry>

I did that... It has to be a glitch or quirk or something. I did it correctly.

Sorry Guys! It works now. I just restarted all of the programs and it worked suddenly. Thanks for the help though!
