SAY NAME1 not working

[moog]

Hey Gang,

I'm starting another run-through of BGEE.  Years ago, I put together a mini-mod of some spell changes I like.  It includes a couple of custom spells. 

In the past, it's installed without a problem.  This time, the spells are not displaying their names and descriptions.  It's as if the installation can't read the language/english file.  That's odd, because it's reading the parts relevant to the installer.  I get the following error message: "Invalid: 34000," with the number increasing for each subsequent name/description.  The number is pointing to a string reference.  If it's relevant, I'm using Weidu 249.

Any idea what this could be?

Are you installing to the same language that you're playing? weidu.conf will tell you to which language tlk WeiDU is installing.

And which language you're playing in can be changed in the game's options menu.

I considered the unmerged DLC possibility ... but no, SoD has strings at those numbers. You'd be seeing "Crown of Lies" instead of "Invalid: 34002" if that were the issue.

I think you've found it.  From weidu.conf:

lang_dir = cs_cz

Is this Czech?  Can I just weidu.conf?

No, you need to reinstall everything after it. You can't really copy-paste over the tlk changes.

I just edited weidu.con to en_us and reinstalled.  Everything is fine now. 

Thanks, everyone!

@moog JFI, if you delete the weidu.conf file, the prompt about which game language the mod should be installed to will be available upon the next mod installation again.

I would always first deinstall mods and then delete the weidu.conf.
