Unknown String

[unmerged(295)]

While adding in some new events to the game and testing them, I found that they work in the game (the details are there) but that the event name and description is missing and it says Unknown String Wanted. Of course, there must be a problem somewhere....but how do I track down the error? I'm kinda new at this.

Thanks in advance

You have to put the description of the event and action buttons in extra_text.csv file. Be sure to remove read only attribute so that you can save the file.
Here is an example from the file:

EVT_9136_NAME;God objects to your very existence!;Dieu désapprouve votre existence !;Gott nimmt an Eurer bloßen Existenz Anstoß!;ˇA Dios le ofende tu mera existencia!;Evento IA - Muore un sovrano non cattolico;;;;;;;;;X
ACTIONNAME9136A;What an unexpected thunderstorm!;Quelle tempęte subite !;Was für ein unerwartetes Donnerwetter!;ˇQué tormenta más inesperada!;E' il castigo di Johan!;;;;;;;;;X

The number has to correspond to your event id number. EVT_XXXX_NAME part is the description of the event in several languages. You can use only English and leave others empty. Don't remove ";"! ACTIONNAMEXXXXA is the text that will be displayed on the button of action_a. You can have ACTIONNAMEXXXXB and even more, each with it's own description.
The number is not limited to four digits, you can safely put five (for example 20100).
I'm not sure of this but you can create a new file mod_text.csv where you can put descriptions for your events in the same format as decsribed. I use extra_text.csv.

Hope it helps and enjoy your eventscripting!

Yeah most of the mods uploaded in the forum used a ModText.csv file.

But it works the same. You need to check that you keep the right number semicolons (;).

extra_text.csv will be overwritten by any future patch. Use the modtext one for your mods.
