Problem with card creation: Undefined String :/

[MonsieurKaZe]

Hi there,

I'm trying to create new cards in order to make a SLIVER Deck... So my very first intention is to create Sliver cards which are not to hard to code... I choose Battering Sliver as my first attempt.
Here is the code of the card :

| Open

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<MULTICARDS>
<CARD>

</CARD>
</MULTICARDS>

I added this card to the card folder of my game and I edited 8888_CARD_TEXT.XML (because I just want to test the card, I will create my own DLC repo latter in order to add :

I also downloaded the image of the card and succesfully modified it with Paint.net !
For now I have the red card with the good image and the good mana cost + the right power and toughness (4/4) BUT the name of the card, the rule and the flavour does not appear (Undefined String problem)...
Maybe I missed something but I don't know what... Can somebody can help me to solve this problem of Undefined String... I promise to share my deck when it is finished =)

Up!

I really need your assistance because I want to add new cards and new decks to this game =)
I'm sure this is a little problem but I can't find it now :/

Too bad, maybe he is on hollidays ?
I'm still working on my cards. For now I am able to create them with multiple effects and they work on the battlefield BUT still I cannot had text (flavour, title or els...) :/

It is too weird because my cards are based on the information given in the Wiki and in this forum...
I hope someone will help me sooner or later

Probably real life(TM) got in the way.

Just be patient.

keep the good work.

Hi, did u code your cards by some word tools like UE?

Your process is all right and such problem i think should not be met with if you use notepad, am i right?

This might be caused by wrong text encoding.

Please try to address the root cause as follow:

Code: Select all

<Row ss:AutoFitHeight="0">
CARD A DESCRIPTION
</Row>
<Row ss:AutoFitHeight="0">
CARD B DESCRIPTION
</Row>
<Row ss:AutoFitHeight="0">
CARD C DESCRIPTION
</Row>


If the words for Card B are in wrong encoding, then Card C & any other card text description below B can't be work well.

Then try to search text file whether there exist something strange words in it like

Code: Select all

</row>

. Ya, low-case!

This is a known bug in UE which is my favorite tool.

The solution is remove all your codes, try to code your own description by notepad to see whether such issue would be reproduced.

Hope this could be helpful to u.

I use Notepad++ and Text editor from Win7...

Compress your 8888_CARD_TEXT.XML into zip format and post here as attachment for me to test it.
