StringTable.csv

[Knut Erik]

Okay people. I have a problem that inclues the "StringTable.csv" file..

I know how to add Id's and sutch, but when I add text that needs commas, like : "Hi, I'm Joe" I just gets the text "Hi" in the screen!  

Is there a way to solve this, or have BIS not included any commas!

YOu need to put quotes around the text in your stringtable file. THe game sees the comma and things it's the end of the line.

Code: [Select]

"LANGUAGE","English","Comment",
"STRM_hello","Hello, my name is bob.","bob talking",

Thanks a LOT toadlife !!  

You are the best

Unfourtanly I can't get it to work. When I create quotes arround, nothing appeares!

First my description.ext file :

Code: [Select]

class CfgSounds
{
   sounds[] =
   {
Officer1,Officer2,Officer3
   };


   class Officer1
   {
      name = "Officer1";
      sound[] = {"Officer1.ogg", db-0, 1.0};
      titles[] =
      {
         0, $STRM_Officer1,
      };
   };
   class Officer2
   {
      name = "Officer2";
      sound[] = {"Officer2.ogg", db-0, 1.0};
      titles[] =
      {
         0, $STRM_Officer2,
      };
   };
   class Officer3
   {
      name = "Officer3";
      sound[] = {"Officer3.ogg", db-0, 1.0};
      titles[] =
      {
         0, $STRM_Officer3,
      };
   };
};

And then my stringtable.csv file :

Code: [Select]

LANGUAGE,English,Comment,

STRM_Officer1,"Okay, Joe. This day could get pritty hot. We're going to strike four Russian bases",

STRM_Officer2,"The base in Le Port, two docks and a small outpost.",

STRM_Officer3,"But, let's get down to the mission spesific shall we?",

Strange..everything looks good.  

Are you editing your strintable file with a text editor or excell type program?

[Knut Erik]

Exel...

[toadlife]

try opening it up with a text editor instead of excell. Excewll type programs can be good for editing stringtables, but they can screw them up too.

I used openoffice calc (free version of Excel) to do large stringtables for Operation Lojack (70 lines and 5 languages!).

Will do !
Thanks for your help so far
