UruStarter error - prp has invalid version

[Egon]

After installing clean URU:CC, and updateing with DI patcher, I'm able to login. But after login, when I try to run game I get error:
The file dat/Myst_District_Textures.prp has an invalid version, but is required to log in.
Uru can not be started.

I think that's a common error, you would have to check with diafero, but it may be fixed by replacing that file with a copy from another install.

It looks like there are some slight variations of POTS out there, and some files are different from version to version - weird.
Could you send the version of the file it complains about to diafero AT arcor DOT de?

Actually not so much wierd.
It happend to me before once: I wasn't able to run ULM correctly becouse of diffrent python.pak file.

I blame lcocalization of my URU version. Publisher for my country, added my language for the game by overwrting English language files.


"But error is about 'dat/Myst_District_Textures.prp' file, what's got this to the language?" You may ask.
Well: since some textures contains notes, signs etc. some where altered in order to show translated text.

So I guest it won't stop on this file (alredy sended).

Indeed, the only difference of that file to mine is the picture in the wall, where the text got translated. That actually means that the Polish localization is better than the German or French one, because those texts are left untranslated there. Interesting.

I moved that file around on the dataserver so that people having a different version will get the English one when linking to Myst. But as you say, I bet this is not the only one. Could you try again?

What's more interesting: they didn't bothered to translate "A link has been added to your Nexus" , and a couple of difrent messages despite altering "xKIEnglish.py".

Now I have error with GreatZero texture.prp

You can also do the same for texture prp for ages:
Garrison
city
cleft
Kadish
Neighborhood
Personal
Teledahn
Becouse those defenetly also have translated texutres (basically every age which has any notes, or sign on walls).

[diafero]

I added some of the files on your list - however, there are also notes and signs on which the text is dynamically written via Python. So, just seeing a translated note is not enough.

You didn't added "Cleft_Dstirinc_Textures.prp"

Wait, how do you change the language of URU without LanguageChanger?

I don't know.

Like I sad: publisher of the game made localization by overwriting directly game files.
Which means: my game still thinks that I'm running with English language selected.
