Missing text problem
« on: April 29, 2007, 11:31:35 pm »
Here's an image of the problem:


Basically none of the players names are displayed in the action messages and I can't see the respawn time.

Happens whenever someone captures, returns, scores or joins/leaves the server.

Their name is shown when they chat though.

I use the "1.3.1 settings" though I've tried default and it still turns out the same.

Any suggestions are appreciated.


EDIT: Also forgot to mention the size of the KILL text:


It's so large that I can't see the name of the person I've killed or who's killed me.

Did you modify the Font.ini?

Did you change any of the settings in the Setup?

I said that I used the 1.3.1 settings that have been mentioned here:
http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=13712.0

I also tried using default font settings but it resulted in the same problem.


The settings I use in the soldat setup are mostly default. I use fullscreen and no resolution change. The other settings I have I've tried toggling on and off with no effect.

I've also tried restarting after install, with no resulting change.

Is the text the only thing that appears irregular ingame?

Yes, everything else looks fine.

Someone had the same problem here.
Can you direct me to the thread or tell me what they did to resolve the problem?

I did try searching for my problem, before I had decided to post a new thread.

None of the search terms I tried returned anything relevant.

Well I've found the reason why the players' names weren't showing up.

The english.txt language file doesn't have the %s prefix before the action messages. I guess when I selected english as the language in the config instead of just not touching the setting, it got messed up.

Is this only me or is it a bug for everyone else? :-\


EDIT: I tried adding in the prefix manually, but it just ended up offsetting the lines somehow, so the text is randomized..

Does anyone know how I can get it to work properly in english? I'd rather not have to play in spanish all the time. :-X


FINAL EDIT: Problem solved. I noticed that the default.txt in the root txt directory had the proper formatted english language lines, so I used that. Everything is working great now.

Yeah man! You Killed man, You Killed! Great Job! No, just joking. Fix the dang errors! I hate always having to rename myself The Red Flag and stuff, the name is AAAAAAAAAAA in my Name box and it annoys me.
