Well that's no good ;p Next time I find some time, I'll give another crack at finding what the problem is.

That would be great. I'd be happy to test for you if you need anything tested. Thanks Shoes.

If I can't reproduce it, I might ask of you to ... download the dev tools, the source code, the game assets, the mod, put it all together and reproduce it in debug mode ...

I might ask.

This may sound stupid When I use the mod all of the text related to the mod is displayed incorrectly  e.g. Diary is actually  STR_DIARY
Thaks for the help guys :)

You're probably using a language that isn't supported by the mod. I can't remember right now which English variant is used, so please try them all (EN-US, EN-GB etc.) and check which one works.

En-US is the current working language for the mod.

I checked the first three-four pages of the mod and I must have missed it so heres a question for when you have time:

Is this compatible with other mods? Especially I am looking at the final mod pack. I would hazard a guess as to no since its an exe modification but I thought Id ask first.

Seems like a great work.

It is compatible with any mod, as long as the mod is not using Nightly functions not supported by Soldier Diaries. Which is sadly true for FMP.

At this point I think it's OK to ask:

Is the Commendations mod dead?

I mean, there has been no new releases for months, no declarations of having done any work on it, no nothing. Shoes, if you're done with it that's understandable, but could you please make some sort of statement regarding the mod? This would clear things up, and I'm sure there are some people here who might be willing and able to pick it up.

I am surprised I have been away from the mod for so long myself, to be honest :x I still hope to get this mod merged into the base game, but at this point there is nothing new to add to the mod. I think I've added pretty much everything I want.. and that's the fun part. Keeping the nightly up to date or fixing hard to reproduce bugs does little to excite me ;p However making the mod playable is something I want to do.

Maybe this weekend I will sit down and update the nightly. Perhaps dropping support for the Legacy version of the mod will also make working on this more pleasant too.

Thanks! The mod should work with any ruleset mod, but not .exe mods. You would have to compile a merged version of both mods. It's possible to do, but it would be a little bit of a headache if both mods touch the same code. Also like Dioxine said: you can use it in the nightly if there haven't been big changes. It will effectively revert your game back to the nightly that this mod was updated to. For example, if map work has been changed since the last Diary update, it probably won't work.

Wow, this is encouraging. But AFAIK there are still bugs to fix, right? (I haven't really tested it, but that's the general feeling I got from this thread.)

Anyway I'd love to play this great mod. Hey, how about first integrating it in the OpenXCom Extended first (provided Yankes says it's fine)?

I prefer not, I try keep my mod as stand alone exe. This mean that I don't add any new resources like rulsets, language or graphic, but Solder Diaries require them to work properly. Shoes can of cores merge my branch into his, but did he will want all changes to vanilla behavior I made in my mod?
Maintaining two version (baisc and extended) will be equal painful to maintaining 1.0 and Nightly.

Hmm, yeah, this is true. Well then, I can only hope for adding the mod to the vanilla. :)

Yeah, but I think it's with Legacy. Stuff about saved games not loading. I spent a bit of time with looking into it, even Warboy couldn't help me ;p

As far as I know, changes in the nightly have probably made the current Diaries nightly version not work.  I haven't tested this.

@Shoes, I do have a pending pull request from a few months back that updated some more of the Ufopedia stuff.
