Diplomacy strings missing [FIXED!]

After having updated to Win XP and reinstalled GalCiv2 and DA I've noticed that when talking to other cultures I get AI_GREETING_ALLY instead of the text that normally should display.

 

It happens on all conversation items.

Seems I'm missing some file?

Anyone knows which file I might be missing or how to fix this?

If you haven't already, I would suggest contacting Stardock support.

Yep, sent them an email.

Here's the debug.err log in case that may shed some light on this:

I noticed this line in the log:

 

Debug Message:  TradeWnd: Couldn't find phrase for AI_GROVEL_RELATIONS_ALLY! Speaker: Altarian Resistance with morality 99 Listener: Terran Alliance

However that doesn't help me much because it doesn't say where it was expecting to find the phrase. I suppose it should be in the english.str file.

End of quote

No; it's in the GC2_Conversations.xml file.

Ah, thanks.

 

I tried replacing them with my other working PC's same files (both in DL and DA) but that did not fix the issue. I wonder what might be causing this ...

Update:
Tried a complete uninstall and re-install. Didn't help. Also, I noticed that there are no campaigns to start in the Dread Lords original game, even though in My Games I have the files and campaign saves from before. And if I start a new game in Dread Lords it crashes to Desktop. This is not good.

Some registry setting is perhaps wrong (- I will have to search with regedit and look for anything related to Galacti Civilizations)?
(- I have the silly program installed on D:\Program Files\ because my C partition is low on disk space at 2.9 GB). 

I'm leaning to think that it's due to my XP upgrade from W2K. On W2K it all worked fine but I couldn't use impulse to update the version.

OK I managed to figure out the solution to this annoying bug.


This will help anyone who has the same issue as I had:

1. Open your registry with the Run command regedit.
2. Find the subfolder GalCiv2 in the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Drengin.net\GalCiv2).
3. If you have my issue then GalCiv2 has a StringKey named Language with no data in it.
4. Delete the Language key by right-clicking and then selecting Delete.
5. Start Galactic Civilizations and lo and behold: No more errors!!! Both DL and DA work as they should.


Conclusion:
The installer inserts a blank Language key that messes up the folders. It would probably also work if you enter the language that corresponds to the folder in the Data subfolder in the install directory if your language is not English.

That's it :)
