Have they added a way to start a saved game from the command line yet? Like se4.

java: have you modded your main_strings file?

CaptRR: Yes. Geo uses it for PBW, but the commands aren't common knowledge as far as I know..

The problem sounds like its with the main_strings file. If you haven't modded it though, the patch should have updated it if needed..

EDIT: duh. Find the Main_strings in the Balance Mod folder and delete it. that should do it.

Nope... I don't have a Main_strings file in the Balance mod folder...

However I noticed that the new HelpTxt.txt is 3927 lines as opposed to the 3915 in the one of the Balance MOd... apparently that needs to be updated...

sigh.. I guess I'll have to wait for the good ol' Capn to finish his good works....

Fixed it... Apparently there are about 12 lines that have to be added to the HelpText.txt file as well....

It seems to work now...

Thanks,

Not sure how a help text file got in your Balance Mod folder in the first place.

That and the Main-strings.txt file have erroneously ended up in there on a few occasions.. but I can promise you they only got there when installing your mods as I'm definately not a modder....

Unless the patches put them there somehow...

Maybe he dropped it into SE5 --> Data instead of SE5 --> Game Types

The clear problem/question here is how could a patch modify something in the Data Folder which is in another folder named Balance Mod?
