Event Text Help

Wed May 27, 2009 6:52 am

Hello,

My scenario is working great so far. Now, I think I need to start fixing
event text so I can see things working correctly for the players.

So, questions:

[color="Blue"]Full[/color] - means I will get a red line in events, and that will produce a popup with a picture. Picture works fine.

But all I get is:
evt_nam_FRAColonyFleet2 for title I believe
evt_txt_FRAColonyFleet for description

So, is this all in Local Strings?

I already made a copy of original Local Strings.

Do I simply save a edited Local Strings excel as .csv with ; as delimiter?
(Which file do I use from the WIA DB?)

[color="blue"]Line[/color] - produces a black line of text in the events.
Do I need to put in an evt_txt?

I know in the game an event will jump to where it happens, do I need something in Actions for this?

Thx!

Yes, the text is all located in Local Strings file

No need to put an evt_txt (put NULL instead), the text used in the line is that of the event title.

In Param4 column for an event, you enter on first line of event a region alias which is where the game 'jumps'...no need to put in Actions.

I do not comment often but follow your interesting work and commitment. Thanks a lot for supporting us in this way :thumbsup: :coeurs: :cool:

Philippe,

I :coeurs: the AgeOd games, and I have to admit, I usually only get games if I can get a long life out of them.

I had the original BoA, but my old PC (Windows ME - 256K RAM) could barely play it. :( Once I got my new PC (Windows XP Pro - 2 GB RAM), well, these games are no worries! :thumbsup:

When I discovered I could also make scenarios (my favorite pastime) in CCC, ACWGC, NWC & INWC clubs. I went out and and got ACW & NCP also.

My favorite period is WIA, so I will devote time on this as the game is fantastic.

Still learning the ropes in the others.

Now, just got to learn better event coding... :bonk:
