Subtitle not showing

[SAS_Storebror]

Hi guys,

 

I've got a strange issue again.

This time it's about subtitles.

I've got a mission where I have a couple of subtitles which are working fine.

Now I wanted to add a message telling when a certain object has started to move (in this case: A train).

I've created a subtitel, used the timer that activates the train's waypoint and set my subtitle as second target for that timer.

I see that the timer works, because the train starts to move.

I don't see my subtitle though.

 

What I've tried so far, each of it with no luck:

• Add another 1sec. timer "between" the waypoint activation timer and my subtitle.
• Change the subtitle message (e.g. just to "HI THERE!")
• Change the subtitle position (center, top, bottom, left, right)
• Change the subtitle display time (1sec., 10sec., 30sec.)
• Change the subtitle font size (12, 20, 32)

 

I'm running out of ideas. Why on earth some subtitles would show and others won't?

 

Cheers!

Mike

Do you have another subtitle that's firing at/around the same time?

Can you post your mission please.

Thanks for your replies guys but we can close that case.

This was once again one of those times when all of a sudden, on one of my PCs the Mission Editor stopped creating .list files and went ballistic on anything localization related.

This time it happened on the Windows 7 machine, the one that was working best of all before.

Uninstalled the game, reinstalled from scratch - everything's fine and dandy again.

Funny thing is when this happened, in the "beefed" Mission Editor the Subtitles would have text, but in any other Mission Editor they would just be empty, on all languages selected.

Apparently the language indices were messed up, dunno.

Anyway, works now after reinstallation of the game.

 

Cheers!

Mike
