  • Red Alert 3 Mod: Unit Name And Description Problem

    #1
    Hello,
    Ive been set on creating my first published mod involving units and Ive came into a problem regarding my units not displaying their name, description or type when the player hovers over them on the build menu, in fact the unit doesn't even have a name when you select it, it is just blank.

    Things you should know:

    • The unit is fully functional ingame, it is just the name and description not appearing
    • The Mod.STR file is inside the /Mod/Data folder
    • The units .XML file correctly states the description and Name ID


    In case you are wondering this is the Units .XML file lines referring to the Mod.str

    Code:
    id="AlliedArtemis"
...
Description="Desc:AlliedArtemisDesc"
TypeDescription="Type:AlliedArtemisType"
    And here is a screen shot of it ingame

    And here is a screenshot of the mod.str file

    If any one has an idea of what the problem may be, or if you need a little more information, please reply.

    Thanks.

    Is the mod.str in the mod's big file after compiling?

      I opened the mod's .big file in Notepad++ and searched for something referencing it and no, it isn't, any idea what could be the problem?

        Oh my, i am sorry for my complete stupidity and for having to make this thread.

        I never realized that you needed to put the Mod.str file into Mod/Additional/Data and that you had to tick the "Copy Additional Files" check box to get it to compile, and again, i am sorry for making this thread for something i only had to read the manual included in the SDK Expansion.

        But i am grateful that you replied to the thread

        Again, I'm sorry
