OK, I'll go into more detail about the problem. It may indeed be a new problem.

My mod is called Whiteboy's Rules. Some of you may have heard of it. Version 1 is pretty inferior to 1.5 though. Well I am finishing off version 1.5 and I have this problem. I am talking about the vehicles tab in the sidebar. In this mod, I have made it possible to build ALL units, if each side constructs enough buildings they can build an ARMAGEDDON ENGINE which then allows them to build another side's MCV, and hence thay create another base, another Armageddon Engine, and the final MCV. This makes it possible to have all 3 faction's bases and units under your command.

Now, you know when you place the cursor over the sidebar, you see the string and cost for that unit. Well it works just fine for this mod in one case: you have all units available to build in the vehicles sidebar. Then the strings do not appear. The strings will still appear if you hover the cursor over the units in the battlefield view, however.

I have concluded that this is because of the amount of units in the sidebar, because whenever a structure such as a Repair Depot is sold (making less units available), the strings re-apper again. I am sure all strings work because I have seen them all appear separately, just not all together. And I did not exceed the total units allowed in the vehicletypes list in the Rulesmd.ini file.

Hope that clears some things up. I would send someone the mod, but it's only beta and I plan to finish it soon anyway, look out for it at www.angelfire.com/ultra/whiteboysrules

One thing I haven't done is test it on another computer - my comp. has three hundred and sixty something RAM so no problem there, but the processor is only 500MHz. I think I'll test it on my other computers - in the meantime, any thoughts?[/b]
