Just guessing at this, but try {@Pie} I'll take a deeper look though.

They say to use "@Pie", so give that a try too.

I use CSV files for my maps (because of the Chinese translation aspect) and have found it to be extremely frustrating to figure out what works and what breaks it, especially when I have 300+ lines of text, but by my 6th map I think I have sussed it! But anyway looking at what you've done I can't see anything obviously wrong but would have 2 suggestions to try:

1. Put a space after the ; on each line, so it would be:

ID; EN
@Pie; A Tasty Pie
@Attack; You attack with vigor

This before has broken it for me.

2. Edit the CSV file with Notepad+. It was 6+ months ago but I have a feeling Excel never worked for me because of the Chinese language text, but still if nothing else works it's worth a try.

I have tried all these combinations with no results:
- Ive tried Spaces after the ";"
- Ive tried using "," as LibreOffice excel turns the cells into "," when changing to cvs.
- Ive tried spaces with ","
- I have directly copied and pasted their example in their guide with no results.
- I have tried doing "@Pie"
- I have tried doing {@Pie} and it returns an error

@POBmaestro, any chance you would be interested in friending me and sending me a copy of the .cvs file that worked for you so I can examine it?

Just for anyone wondering we found the problem was the file was saved as .CVS rather than .CSV :)

So finally the string with csv file is working?

Yes it was just a typo that caused the problem. I use CSV in my maps all the time.

Ok!

Good to know it.

Enjoy guys!

Hi.
I am trying to use the strings because I had a request from a Chinese user to add Chinese text to my map. I am having the same troubles, and I haven't even started using Chinese yet.
I have tried everything listed above. I have deleted the Excel created CSV, and saved it from Notepad. I've put spaces, commas, semi colons in a million and one variants. I've saved it as strings.csv and Strings.csv and I can't get the bloody things to work.

When the map starts in the game,
The opening title always displays as "@StartGameTitle"
and the text text displays as "@StartGameText" (Without the commas though.)

These were my ID names for the strings.
