[HELP] Map description (intelligence report) doesn't show up in loading screen

Post by Kiaksar2142 »

Hello guys, sorry for creating many threads last times =/
I've searched forums but couldn't find any solution for this problem. :-?
I've also asked about this few old bf2142 and bf2 modders that i know but most of them don't remember or can't figure out whats going on =(

The problem is that when i try to add map description (intelligence report) to my map.desc file it doesn't show up ingame.

I can change the game mode description but cant add the intelligence report at all. :(

here is it:
==========
<map>

<name> MY MAP </name>

<briefing locid="LOADINGSCREEN_MAPDESCRIPTION_MY_MAP">map description for modders maps not localized (english only)</briefing>
<music> common/sound/menu/music/MYMAP_ost </music>

<modes>
<mode type="gpm_ti">
<maptype players="48" type="titan" locid="GAMEMODE_DESCRIPTION_titan">Unlocalized test for this mode on this map</maptype>
</mode>
</modes>
</map>
===========

I have tried to add it instead LOADINGSCREEN_MAPDESCRIPTION_MY_MAP but it didnt helped at all.

Also tried to add it instead "map description for modders maps not localized (english only)"
but it didnt do anything either. i just get "LOADINGSCREEN_MAPDESCRIPTION_MY_MAP" in loading screen all the time.

I can however change the game mod description line and it does show up but cant do anything with map briefing (intelligence report)

I can of course add the line in localization file (strings.csv) but it won't make sense as the server side files will have to be modified too.. :confused:

Can you guys please help me with this? :roll:

Thank you very much in advance =)

>map description for modders maps not localized (english only)<
That's the part you modify to add your map description, no the localization string.
