What to do when you get "undefined string"?

[GamerXYZ]

I'm building some decks with the game's own cards, and mostly that goes right. However, there are some cards where it doesn't go right, like Mind Shatter and every card from Sorin Markov's decks. Those give me "undefined string" error-names, and also in the card text. How to solve that?

[Uresti]

that error is related to the TEXT.XML when the name of ability or card is not found in the TEXT.XML. check the references on the TEXT. or maybe is not compatible with all our work. try to make a clean installation of DOTP and Pack 2 then check if all works ok reinstall the DLCs you have

I moved all files from the CARDS and TEXT_DUELTIME folders from DATA_CORE and DATA_0005 to mine, but the same problem persists.

Can I somehow link the cards to look up in their right expansion what they do? Kinda like how Heart of the Worlds has Naturalize that's also in the core game.

Expansion Pack 2 is compatible with the community mod. But you need to edit some cards( nontoken landfall and some duplicate cards, it's around 36 cards ) you need to setup your datasets. general.xml example:(this is what I'm using since there are some card bugs in pack 2 thats why I added them all into my datasets)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DATASETS>
<DATASET_DEFINITION name="COMMUNITY">
<DATASET_INCLUSION name="Land"/>
<CARDS filename ="M11_Land"/>
<TEXT filename ="10e_card_text"/>

I just reinstalled Dotp (I have DLC1 and DLC2) and downloaded everything from svn.
I get undefined errors.

So, I should create this general.xml with the information above?
Where should I put it?

This is how my root folder looks like:

hum, I just noticed that land token landfall... so all I have to do is replace the text in general.xml at ...DATA_DLC_1111\DATA_ALL_PLATFORMS\DATA_REQUIRED ?

hi guys,
how come i dont have this data_dlc_005? do i have to install some expansion? or download something from the net play?
i just update svn files daily and put them on my data_dlc_1111 like how it was instructed in other posts..
is dlc1 different from dlc2 ? do i need to create something similar, like a new folder named data_dlc_2222?

appreciate your help.
thanks.

DLC2 is the second expansion pack released last september. The data_dlc_0005 are from the dlc2 expansion which includes sorin markovs deck and etc.

So is this http://www.slightlymagic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=3131#p41785 the only way of fixing the "undefined string" error? It seems long and tedious. Quicker solution by logoliv still causes the undefined string message.
If kevlahnota remedy fixes the problem, a howto would be appreciated. Sadly my testing activities are halted for now until I manage to fix this error.

cool. where do i download this 2nd expansion? and whats the svn link to the data_dlc_0005 ?

thanks

I'll try to fix the paths so there's no need to transfer any files.

Please update to the latest SVN to test if you still have "undefined string" error.

cool. where do i download this 2nd expansion?

It costs $4.99 from Steam.

for the lazy( if you don't want to edit cards to fix landfall ability )

for those having problems with the landfall ability using DLC_1111 with expansion pack 2,
the easiest way is to extract DATA_CORE.wad, then rename DATA_CORE.wad to _DATA_CORE.wad.bak.

open DATA_CORE\DATA_ALL_PLATFORMS\DATA_REQUIRED\FUNCTIONS folder then paste this modified Filters.Lua.
