Hi there. I did talk to a Guy in the Teamspeak, and he sayd i have to post my problem here. So... my english is very bad, but i`ll try to explain my problem:

I have the german version of COH. So every time we did play the Mod we had the Problem that all the labels did not work (f.e. in the reinforcement buttons) there was only a label called: *somenumber f.e.* 18010037 NO RANGE over EVERY button

I found out, that this number is in connection with the files in the "\Company of Heroes\EuropeInRuins\Locale\English\" Folder. There are 2 files:

EuropeInRuins.English.ucs and
EuropeInRuinsBattle.English.ucs

I think the Mod always downloads those files, when a new game starts, so thats the problem.

because:
i found a solution, but its a lot of work cause you have to do that every time a game starts!

I made a new folder myself, called: "\Company of Heroes\EuropeInRuins\Locale\German\"
then i copied both files to this directory and renamed them to:

EuropeInRuins.German.ucs and
EuropeInRuinsBattle.German.ucs

And it works! All Labels are displayed, no mor "NO RANGE" stuff.

Now my question: Could you include it to your Mod, that it creates these folders automaticly? perhaps you could let your mod create both folders, so it would work for both versions: english and german.

thanks in advance, RedMoonK

again sry. for my bad english i tried to descripe the problem as good as i can, if you have questions, ask me

I have the same problem, but in french, i think that it'll work for the french version as well... I'll test it out ASAP.

[RedMoonK]

I think it could work with every version. Please post if it also works with the french version.

[RedMoonK]

I wrote a batch file wich solves the problem automaticly 
If you want to use it heres the code:

@echo off
del ".\German\*.*" /Q
xcopy ".\English" ".\German\" /Y
rename ".\German\EuropeInRuins.English.ucs" EuropeInRuins.German.ucs
rename ".\German\EuropeInRuinsBattle.English.ucs" EuropeInRuinsBattle.German.ucs

If you dont know what a batch file is read on
Go to the directory COH\EuropeInRuins\Locale\ and create a folder called "German". then create a new textfile. Put in the code written up there^^ rename it to whateveryouwant.bat Now it copys the files to the "German" Directory and renames them. (If you have the French or whatever Version do the same, but replace "German" with your language...) Now you can also create a shortcut of this batch file next to the europe in ruins shortcut.

HOW to use:
Start the EiR shortcut as usual. type in the Battle ID. click download. If it askes you if you want to extract the data click "YES". Now the program askes you if you want to start the game. DONT DO THAT NOW. first you have to execute the batch file (or its shortcut). NOW you click YES (you want to start the game) after that, you dont have anymor "NO RANGE" descriptions in your game

works like a charm! you are a genius!

Good job on fixing this!

Guess we should incorperate this to the manual.
(If we can generalise it for all versions?)

(And add an attachment with the Guide in French that snake made a long while ago that I still haven't got to adding due to no attachment )

[Snake]

I think we should sticky this.
Oh and i am going to add this in the next update for the french guide.

Do you guys know of any way I could automatically find the correct language folder?

[Snake]

Well maybe during the instalation of EiR? It asks you the language you use in a drop down menu or something? But automatically, i have no idea :/

[fldash]

If you look in Company of Heroes\Engine\Locale and get the directory name, should tell you the language folder...

[Phil]

Well, both of those are a little unreliable, but I guess that will have to do.

[fldash]

Did you figure out how to read from the registry?  I could try there looking there for it...  That'd be reliable...

[Phil]

Yeah, reading from registry is easy.

[fldash]

Okay, I'll see if it's in there anywhere...
