Note problem - SOLVED - j00le - 01-06-2014

So, I have problem with my note letters. When I add my journal-category to extra-english-file, none of the messages or notes work. I have tried renaming the notes, I've checked the names like 10 times, checked the codes, created new note entities on levels, still nothing works.

Does anyone have an idea, what else could I have done wrong?
I have several credits-messages, but key names, signs and stuff work fine with them in the file. I've spent awful lot of time fighting with this problem, please help

For starters, you could post your extra_english.lang file for us. One error in that whole thing mucks everything up Smile

I couldn't add the .lang-file so I sent it as .txt-file but that should do it

<CATEGORY Name="Message"> should be <CATEGORY Name="Messages">

And you only need one CATEGORY called Inventory and then you put all your ItemDesc and ItemNnme in there

Thanks for pointing it out, could that affect the notes? Because my messages and keys still work

Notes are in the category: Journal.
Messages are in the category: Messages.

Actually I don't think it matters. As long as you specify both parts in the .lang and the script file

I finally found out what the problem is:
In one long letter, there was "<" in the middle of the text. As soon as i removed that, everything started working. Great example, how small things matter Big Grin Still thanks again for help!
I'm extremely relieved now, and officially, PROBLEM SOLVED!
