extra_*.lang files - Frontcannon - 10-16-2010
This is my first thread here where I need help! I'm currently writing a tutorial on the structure and inner workings of .lang files (something like this).
The problem is they aren't documented at all in the Wiki, so all I can grasp is what I read in the game's main .lang files..
I figured out how Messages, Examine-Areas and Notes work, but Item-Descriptions still don't show up in my test level.
So anyone here that could enlighten me? Any help is appreciated.

They are under the category named "Inventory".
The item name is the entry named "ItemName_CustomSubItemTypeName".
The item description is the entry named "ItemDesc_CustomSubItemTypeName".
Where as "CustomSubItemTypeName" is to be replaced with what you filled in in the editor under the entity tab.

This is what I missed. Thanks!
I just saw that mastersmith has created a tut on Journal entries.. mind if I hijack that one and turn it into a complete .lang files tutorial?
