It was showing up before, and it still shows up.

Then the problem most likely isn't with the .lang file, usually if there's an error with the .lang file, nothing will show up. Are you sure everything is named and the entities are correct in the map editor?

This might sound weird, but try to put spaces between your text, and the entry tab so:
Code:
<CATEGORY Name="Journal">
        <Entry Name="Note_note1_Name"> Changes </Entry>
        <Entry Name="Note_note1_Text"> My name is Hermann Ronalds, and these are my final words in case i dont stay alive.[br] My servants and family, have... turned on me somehow.[br]They used to be friendly people, but when i went to the sitting room when i woke up, one of them was there.[br] Not a friendly face, but a horrible shadow of a man. It was like he rose from the dead.[br] Luckily, he didn't see me. I ran back to my room, and I am going to try to escape this house. </Entry>
    </CATEGORY>
I've noticed before that it sometimes wouldn't show text, if the spaces aren't there...


RE: Note Text not appearing. - Lambda - 05-04-2011

I am trying that now.

And Russ Money: Yes, i'm sure.
__EDIT__

Guess what?
No effect. :3
Even though it isn't solved so far, i wanna thank you guys for putting time in this.

I tried to add a note using your extra_english.lang file, and I got it to work without changing anything there. So, it must be your entity. Would you mind uploading a screenshot of your entity tab? Smile

By the way, i changed it from "note1" to "note" earlier.
And if it IS my entity tab, it'll be Lol'ing the rest of the night :3

OH MY GOD!!!!! I KNOW WHAT YOU DID WRONG! XD

You need to put "note" in the custem sub item type field (the one directly above the note text field you put it in! xD)

I don't think you need to do that, I have never needed to.

About your problem, I can't really see anything wrong with it... Only thing I can think of is that you are loading from a cache as said before, are other changes showing up?

trust me, that is the problem, the .lang file looks in the custom sub item type name box for the reference between map entities and scripting within the .lang, hover over that box, it even says so =)


RE: Note Text not appearing. - Lambda - 05-04-2011

No changes.

But, Simpandra, your solution worked!
Thanks guys!
