Tech Names?
« on: September 06, 2007, 07:56:32 pm »
How do you keep the tech names from dissappearing when you exit TF? Whenever I edit a Tech's name, SAVE, and exit, The tech's name instantly reverts to {null}. How do I prevent this?

If the star character is in it, it won't work. The actual character disappeared from TF at some point, which now uses an asterisk. However, saving anything with an asterisk will truncate it.

It'll be fixed int he next version.

You can always edit tech names with a different program, but I guess Flux is your "thang".

After edititing the desired strings. Go to the top of the String (in this case Tech Names). Click on the very top string(Cyclone). Then hold the down arrow key on your keyboard and that will scroll through all the strings down to the bottom(GrandDream). Save and try that.

-- I am very certain it will work. The whole arrow key things is just to make sure that every string is refreshed before saving.

I hope this helps!
