Title: Empty dialog boxes Post by: numaari on 2007 April 17, 04:00:18 I recently did a reinstall, and patched Seasons. The first time the rep from the Garden Club came over, a dialog box with her face appeared, but the box was empty. All other pop-up boxes, such as "Ginger has gained 1 skill point from reading" and "the sprog has school in 1 hour" appear correctly, though.
I was so freaked out I exited without saving. *headdesk* I should have greeted her and seen what happened... I'm tempted to just re-install again and see if that helps. The only garden hack I have is "perfect plants" (not "perfect gardens") and there were no flowers on the lot, just 4 baby tomatoes and a pine tree. Title: Re: Empty dialog boxes Post by: floopyboo on 2007 April 17, 04:07:54 well, the easy way to test if it's perfect plants doing the missing dialogue thing is to take it out.
Since I am also having the same problem & also have perfect plants, that is what I am doing. I honestly thought it was the patch fucking things up, but this might be it. Title: Re: Empty dialog boxes Post by: floopyboo on 2007 April 17, 04:21:23 Well it's not perfect plants fucking up the dialogue boxes, since I just had the problem in a new hood without perfect plants installed. My money is on the patch breaking the garden club dialoge boxes.
Title: Re: Empty dialog boxes Post by: jrd on 2007 April 17, 05:55:10 I have the same problem, no perfect plants. Thought it was some mod conflict, haven't really checked for it.
Title: Re: Empty dialog boxes Post by: jsalemi on 2007 April 17, 15:33:30 Custom plants, trees, and bushes cause problems with the Garden Club in various forms. Sometimes recolors of standard Maxis plants that haven't been updated for Seasons cause problems too. And I had crashes with objects like Inge's days-left or mortgage bushes on a lot when the GC comes by. I'd look in those areas for the cause of the problem first.
Title: Re: Empty dialog boxes Post by: Marhis on 2007 April 17, 16:34:00 Mumble... that dialog string is in STR# instance 0x12D group 0x7F171875, the same which contains XXX is no longer a family friend etc.
Maybe an outdated hack containing that same resource (something about relationship decay or adoption service) would cause that. (in objects.package of Season unpatched is in #0x0008, if it may help). Title: Re: Empty dialog boxes Post by: jrd on 2007 April 17, 16:40:40 Marhis: thank you!
This helps a lot in tracking the problem. You meant group 0x7F17187C btw... ? Title: Re: Empty dialog boxes Post by: jrd on 2007 April 17, 17:16:05 Looks like it's twojeffs' Welcome Wagon Dialog hack. It is missing the last (8th) line.
Going to test it now. Title: Re: Empty dialog boxes Post by: witch on 2007 April 18, 01:37:23 Good to hear. Just letting you know, I had the same problem last night.
Title: Re: Empty dialog boxes Post by: twojeffs on 2007 April 18, 02:07:09 The version in the all hacks directory is the updated verison. I never linked to it in the thread though. Fixing that now. The DC version is also outdated. I'll fix that too.
Title: Re: Empty dialog boxes Post by: numaari on 2007 April 20, 12:33:46 Thanks, that fixed my problem. Unfortunately, another has popped up. Will this madness ever end? *sigh*

The DC version is also outdated. I'll fix that too. I don't know if you updated this recently, but the director's cut version of welcome wagon was last updated in June last year. Title: Re: Empty dialog boxes Post by: witch on 2007 April 20, 22:49:08 Ah, I wonder if that's why I keep getting, 'would you like a welcome wagon' and I click yes or no and nothing happens. June eh? I'll download from the thread or from Jeffistani and see if it makes a difference.
