[ShapeSh1fter]

Hi!

I just played Wake 64 on TV2 srv 8 and the UAV was a bit unusual... have a look. Someone please tell me what's going on here!?

edit: Oh, and it remained like this for the 10 or so rounds I played.

Looks like the Localization file read thing's wrong. Intead of just showing UAV, it showed the kill message for it, but uh why would the UAV have a killmessage?

I got that when installing sf after patching BF2 to version 1.2

It all messed up and all the guns and added things that came with the patch were shown as your screenie.

I reinstalled BF2, SF then patched and it worked fine.

Maybe the kill message is displayed to the commander when the enemy shoots down the UAV.

Re: strange "KILLMESSAGE_VEHICLE_uav" - screenie

i had to reinstall my copy of bf2 because i did fresh install of windows and after patching and trying to play bf2 i got that same thing. i looked at my localization file (Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Localization\English\English_Mappacks.u txt) and it only had about seven lines of text, its supped to be around a couple hundred you could try reinstalling the patch. i had my localization file backed up so i dont know what might work.

Some people seems to have experienced the same thing. On the day of making the thread I had just reinstalled BF2, SF, 1.12 and 1.2 went by as smooth as ever. I dont see how the patches would fail to do a 'proper' patching this time and not last... oh well, no biggie anyways

Re: strange "KILLMESSAGE_VEHICLE_uav" - screenie

Samte thing happend to me too after reinstalling windows and installing BF2 on top of the old installation.

Also, the first time i sniped someone in the game the message in the upper laft corner said something like NoseKills [kILLMESAGE_xxxxxxx_zzzzzz.L96a]

I can add a screenie to back this up later

Re: strange "KILLMESSAGE_VEHICLE_uav" - screenie

this is caused by corrupted localization files... you'll have to reinstall or if you happen to have made a backup, or have a friend's machine that you could get the original files from, you can just restore the files that way.

I had a similar experiance this week, where anytime a teammate would throw a pack or a nade... instead of "Grenade!" or " get ammo here" it would only say "English". So I reinstalled my custom localization files and all was well again. I'm curious as to what is causing these corruptions though, as they seem to be happening to more ppl and with more frequency lately.
