[v35.16] Issues with BGT German test install

[DavidW]

My mistake: it was actually right the first time. What makes you think it's a missing strref?

I‘m away from my laptop for a week.
But last time I‘ve checked, using NI, the BCS line referenced a dialog.tlk entry which just contained the string ‚carsa_say_strref_8‘ (the name of the variable).

OK, not sure what's going on there. Let me know when you're back if you can reproduce it.

This is the line from carsa.bcs (after installing the carsa/kahrk component from v35.16):

        DisplayStringHead(Myself,133307)  // carsa_say_strref_8

If I understand the code right, %carsa_say_strref_8% should contain an existing strref, which is read from carsa.dlg state 8 here (carsa.tpa):

    // get strings from the dialog

    COPY_EXISTING "%tutu_var%carsa.dlg" override
        GET_OFFSET_ARRAY say_arr 0xc 4 0x8 4 0 0 0x10
        PHP_EACH say_arr AS say_ind=>say_off BEGIN
            READ_LONG say_off strref
            SET $carsa_say_strref("%say_ind%")=strref
            GET_STRREF strref string
            SPRINT $carsa_say("%say_ind%") "%string%"
        END
        GET_OFFSET_ARRAY resp_arr 0x14 4 0x10 4 0 0 0x20
        PHP_EACH resp_arr AS resp_ind=>resp_off BEGIN
            READ_LONG (0x4+resp_off) strref
            SET $carsa_response_strref("%resp_ind%")=strref
            GET_STRREF strref string
            SPRINT $carsa_response("%resp_ind%") "%string%"
        END

But instead the name of the variable itself is added to dialog.tlk and referenced.

So to me it looks like the variable is not evaluated, otoh I do not understand, what this should accomplish, I mean using this particular strref from carsa.dlg.

All the other DisplayStringHead lines in carsa_add.baf have a tra reference (also in carsa_add.d).

Sorry for the bother and if I overlooked something obvious...

I can't reproduce this, even on a German install of BGT. The string gets correctly substituted. Odd; which version of SCS is this?

[MikeX]

Last attempt with 35.15 (sorry, I thought I was on 35.16), only those two components (...--install-force-list...):

Spoiler

~STRATAGEMS/SETUP-STRATAGEMS.TP2~ #4 #5900 // Initialise AI components (required for all tactical and AI components): 35.15
~STRATAGEMS/SETUP-STRATAGEMS.TP2~ #4 #7150 // Improved Carsa/Kahrk interaction: 35.15

Tried again with 35.16 now, and it is ok:

        DisplayStringHead(Myself,77341)  // NEEEIIIIN!! ... KAHRK!! ... OH MÄCHTIGER KAHRK!!!

[DavidW]

Great.

On my BGT game v35.16 installed 2 spells (dw#licfi.spl and spin890.spl) with EE-only opcode 328.
