stringtable trouble

[Dubieman]

After a long time of changing and checking, I've now decided to ask what's wrong.

I've gotten rid of all titletext commands for my intro. I've got my sound "File1" in the sound folder. My .ext doc looks like this for File1

Code: [Select]

class File1
   {
      // Name to display in mission editor
      name = "File1";
      // Sound path, volume, pitch
      sound[] = {\sound\File1.ogg, db + 0, 1.0};
      //
      titles[] =
{
0, $STRM_File1
};
   };



Now my stringtable looks like this:

Code: [Select]

LANGUAGE,English,Comment

STRM_File1,"All units get ready, the target is approaching.",police talk


But when I preview it in the intro part, I get the sound but only this much text...

All units get ready

Now I want the whole thing up. I tried no "" marks in my stringtable and that didn't work. I suspected the comma and removing that too did nothing.
 
Help appreciated.


EDIT: well I went and downloaded a .ext/stringtable wizard and when it spit out my stuff. The finished .csv was EXACTLY the same or I've already tried that. Once again help is appreciated. Just this one thing and I can get my mission finished.

Hey GRK...

Stringtables can be tricky beasts at the best of times...

My thinking is that you've got either an end line (ie, hitting return) or a comma in the wrong spot.

Try moving right to the end of your line and inserting a comma. Then press return.
Save the .csv file, go into the editor and save the mission and see if that solves it

Oh by the way, what program are you using to edit your .csv?

[Dubieman]

I'll see about putting commas and return and that.

BTW I'm using CHOFPSE to edit the stringtable.csv but I heard something about using Microsof Excel... :-\

Not really an expert in this but most of the stringtables i've seen have been dun in Excel. De -PBO a mission, i think Macs Un- Impossible mission has one if i remember correctly.
Dont know if it will help but it might show u sumthing ur not doing.  ;D

Good luck

Lol, my mission is very picky. Got cuttext to work. No need for a stringtable now...

But I'll look at others in case I need one in the future...

Thanks everyone.

You don't need quotations marks in stringtable. Comma end the line, so if you use comma in the middle of sentence, it will be cut there. You need to use some else way to 'express' the 'comma'

[Tyger]

Actually mate, quotes work fine. They are used when your voice file needs a comma.
