This turned out to be because I was setting the text using unicode strings too... As it requires Unicode as opposed to Unicode(UTF-8) please correct http://www.valve-erc.com/srcsdk/VGUI2/vgui2.html which specifically states in second sentence of the last paragraph "Language resource files are encoded as UTF-8, which makes them very simple to edit since 7-Bit ASCII is a valid subset of UTF-8.".

We use Notepad.exe to edit these since it can save out to "Unicode" format. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ChromeAngel Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2005 2:04 PM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlcoders] Localization woes I'm trying to use localizations in my HL2MP based mod, without much success. I have seen on the VERC forum Yahn suggested using the -ccsyntax parameter to list all the localization strings. I have tried this, but mine aren't showing up. I think it may be going wrong at vgui::localize()->AddFile function, which is returning false (an indication of failure I assume). I can't seem to find the implimentation of AddFile in the SDK, i'm guessing it's in the engine or precompiled. I suspected that maybe the file system didn't like the relative path I was passing to it, so I used vgui::filesystem()->FileExists to check the path. FileExists returns true, so I concluded that the file system can see my translation file. The file appears to be in the correct format (It's the same as the hl2mp_english.txt) and is saved using UTF-8 (as specifed in the VGUI docmentation). Advice please. -ChromeAngel _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
