What this "master index" is? And what does it do?
Have you finished the manual concerning the "response window"? I would like to have it's full description because I don't know how to tranlate it.
What this line do "str0116 Initializing filters...".
What are the filters? Are the ones that we found in
the project's settings window?
Where those 2 lines used?
str1023 Script up
str1024 Script down
There are 2 more problems :

1 is old, and 2 are new... For the second (new) one I need 11 letters... Maybe it would be better if you place those three above the boxes with the files.

Remeber the problem with datafiles on CD? The master index is also a part of the projected file system. It's only usefult for multi-CD games, because it contains references to individual files and what CD they reside on. This way the engine can request a particular CD when needed.

It's simply the area on screen where the dialogue responses (player's answers) are displayed.

Yes, the filters are those "exclude", "script compiler" and "do not compress". Those actions may be applied to individual files when the packages are being created. The "Initializing filters..." message is only displayed for a few milliseconds :)

I am really close...
A few more questions...
Where can I find in ProjectMan those strings (the last ones)?
"str0101 Line"
"str0258 Switch to the next window pane"
"str0259 Switch back to the previous window pane"
"str0264 Split the active window into panes"
"str0286 Activate Task List"
"str1049 Parsing file"
"str1053 Parsing merge file"
"str1054 Error opening merge file"
"str1064 Warning"
"str1074 String tables"
"str1075 Font files"
"str1076 Sprite files"
"str1077 Definition files"
"str1078 Items files"
Oh... and the icons in the toolbar use the english translation (new, copy, paste etc) and not the greek one...

"str0101 Line"
It's a line in script, where there is a syntax error.
"str0258 Switch to the next window pane"
"str0259 Switch back to the previous window pane"
"str0264 Split the active window into panes"
"str0286 Activate Task List"
These are the hint for the "Window" menu items. They are probably unused (generated by wizard again...)
"str1049 Parsing file"
"str1053 Parsing merge file"
"str1054 Error opening merge file"
"str1064 Warning"
Those lines are used by the template parser (when you are adding a new entity/scene etc.). Those strings are only visible when there's some error in a template file.
"str1074 String tables"
"str1075 Font files"
"str1076 Sprite files"
"str1077 Definition files"
"str1078 Items files"
And these are used in the file open dialogs, in the "Filter" field.

Yep, it's a known bug :( It's not exactly easy to override those tooltips...

They are unused... I just asked to be sure :)

OK... I have to generate some errors to see them.
EDIT: I try to generate some errors inside an actor directory but I didn't see any errors. What kind of errors should I create?
-
Well, there are lots of possible error situations, but I didn't put all those errors into the string table. I think you don't need to worry about those...
