Lang file does not work for no reason!!! Pls help I beg you - Radical Batz - 01-08-2014
well the lang file started working after I made a dev environment with the main init so i can load custom story's easier! but if you can't find anything wrong with it then I don't know why this is happening! looks like I have to delete my custom story again then
These are all the files that i worked on before the lang file stopped working! which made it stop working after I used these files

RE: Lang file doesn't work and map_cache? - daortir - 01-08-2014
Delete the .map_cache of your custom story's map anytime you want ^^. Sometimes they make stuff mess up, I never hesitate to get rid of them anytime I want.
RE: Lang file doesn't work and map_cache? - Romulator - 01-09-2014
map_cache just makes it easier and quicker to load the map, but because they are taken as soon as the map loads, they are a nuisance for developers.
Could you post your .lang file if after deleting the map_cache does not fix it?

RE: Lang file does not work for no reason!!! Pls help I beg you - Romulator - 01-09-2014
I don't know if this is it, but I cannot see anything else:
Code:
<CATEGORY Name="Levels">
<Entry Name="FoodStorage">Food Storage</Entry>
<Entry Name="MasterBedroom">Master Bedroom</Entry>
<Entry Name="CastleEntrance">Castle Entrance</Entry>
<Entry Name="CastleEntrance">Castle Entrance</Entry>
</CATEGORY>You have two CastleEntrance entries. Remove one of them
Edit: Also, the only issue is the extra_english.lang file. You don't need the main_init file, or the usrsettings
