Missing research descriptions

(1/2) > >>

pbaron:
Hello everyone,

i've been looking around on the forum but i couldn't find a solution to my problem, so forgive me please in case is a known bug or simply an unfinished portion of the game.

The game runs fine, the only problem i have is  when i get research reports, al it says is subject.txt (were 'subject' is the name of the researched item or alien corpse)  I guess there's supposed to be a full report with all the info on the researched subject, but other then the file name there is no description. I tried clicking on the 'subject.txt' hoping it would show me the actual text, but that didnt help either.

I have no other problems playing but i would like to see the results of the research if possible.

geever:
Which version do you play. Where did you get it from and on which language you're playing.

It is possible that the research text was not finished in some cases but if you have *_txt for every research topic on English language the most probable is that the language files are missing.

If you're playing on other language than English maybe the texts weren't translated (yet).

You can:
* check the selected language in options menu
* check if you have base/i18n/en/LC_MESSAGES/ufoai.mo under the game directory

Thanks for your quick reply,

I checked the version, its april 2007 2.1 win32 debug... i downloaded it throught the wiki-page (i think) 3 days ago, so i suppose i got myself an old version somehow...... :-\

anyway : I am playing the english version of the game, i checked the path you gave me and the folders and the ufoai.mo file is there too, its 426kb in size. I do not see any language setting under Options in the game. I am donwloading the 2.2 version right now (from the sourceforge page)

pbaron:
Installed the new version and my problems are solved :)

case closed
