Playing SOG. After I got the password for G11 and unzipped it, restarted the game, all my item descriptions are gone! So now if I click on an item I don't see the description anymore and when Mercs see and item all I get is numbers like this (2) and the merc will still say "Item". If I place the hand cursor on an item you should see a brief description, but not since I unzipped G11 folder.

Does anyone know how I can correct this without having to start all over?

It may be academic because now if it requires anymore passwords for unlocking files, I will not be able to see them.

Thanks.

I don't think it's the unzipping of G11.zip that caused this. That's only got one dat file in it, and that's not going to cause this sort of problem. More than likely, something else happened on your machine concurrantly and your itmdsc25.edt file got borked. I think this is where all the item descriptions are stored, and it should be stored in your /Data/binarydata directory.

I'm not sure if it'll work, but you might try rerunning the "Save Changes to UB.bat". That might take the item descriptions from MyWeaponsUB.txt and put them back, assuming that the file already exists. I have no idea what might happen if the file is corrupt or deleted.

Good luck and cheers,
Vurt

Thanks for the reply. Now that I read your post, I am thinking that when I unzipped the file I got that question about the file you are loading is older than the version you have and do you want to keep the existing file...yes...no. I may have hit no.

I think I am going to see if I can even reach G11, since I am still in the Iron Triangle on the far side of the map. If that fails then I am going to do a complete overhaul of the UB download starting all over again. It's such a fun mod to play I just hate to get out of it, but I am sure I probably would enjoy even more if everything worked right.

Hey Trooper,

If you can open the file to get to G11, it means you have the password, right? :naughty:

Remember how I did things out of order and couldn't get at the password because I took out sector J15 LONG before I ever figured out the first two quests? Anyway, though I'm bushwackin' my way through the Iron Triangle again, I'm doing so without Innis and Trang giving me the quests (with my highest leadership merc, they still didn't give me the quests) so I'm trying in hopes that if I give them what they want, it will trigger the proper responses. BUT just in case, I would appreciate it if you would Email me the password to G11. That way I can go back to my old saves and move on if this current plod through the jungle proves a dead end.

You can Email me with that little icon next to my name in my post.

Thanks dude,

Sidetrack

Do like this: Open JA2UB Editor. Open one easy sector that you haven't yet visited. Find item called "NVA An Loc map" and put it on that "easy sector". Save, begin game, go to that sector and you will find NVA An Loc map with password that opens G11.zip.
