Same, I'm confident you don't need to do anything but make sure the mod folder name and the _english.txt filenames match. Try restarting steam.

Its possible you've got mismatched quote marks somewhere in your _english.txt file, that could be messing stuff up.

[shadow-killer]

wow, i had no idea... thanks guys works great now

took him long enough to notice

Are you trying to flame?

maybe.......

I'm a little late on this topic, but it would be good for everyone to know: I randomly stumbled upon the console looking just for '_english.txt' without a mod name (and it couldn't find it). I added the _english.txt and it worked. Try renaming your <yourmod>_english.txt to _english.txt (dunno why this works).

[Winston]

I suppose your mod isn't just called this:


?

[DuckSauce01]

the <mod_name> before _english is the exact folder name of your mod, though it probably isn't caps sensitive, it also seems to hate spaces and some other characters, so try naming the folder something else for 5 minutes, something like: englishtest

Without any spaces or capital letters, then name the _english file:
englishtest_english.txt

That's how it's been for me at least and someone else I know, the _english file MUST be the folder name, rather then for example the modname in the gameinfo.txt or any other name anywhere, its just the foldername rather then modname lol and for the other guy I know he was using some spaces and some other characters such as - and . I think which also didn't work.
(it was named something like Varion 1.0, now it's something like varion_1 or varion_1dot0

Also Winston... can folders even be named blank o_0 maybe when leaving the >mod_name< blank will have it search it's basefolder or something and use that for the name? meh I dunno but it's weird anyhow how it works with empty name.
