String bug found?

from Sins Forums

Hello.

I've found something strange with my translation of Diplomacy. The title of a map, "Whirlwind", was not translated ingame. So I checked my string file and the name of the map was translated. I checked for any missing " around this line, in vain. I checked the number of " in my string file and it was correct (25160).

So I opened my backup of the original english.str (after backing it up, of course) and replaced "Whirlwind" by "Penis".

And guess what? There was no penis in my game.

This is what led me to think that it's a bug. Anyway, if any of you could see to it that I see my penis appear in the game, I would be grateful.

This is by design I hope

Sorry, but I can't help you with that.

 

On a serious note, when you replaced "Whirlwind" in the English.str file, was it not changed at all in the game, in only one place, or did the name not appear at all?

rofl,if your serious then the error is probably in the whirlwind map file pointing to the wrong string IDS
