[Modding] String Not Found

Can't display custom strings for variables

In the file ElementalDefs I have modified the settings for threat levels and the related names and colors.
I also added and modified some of the options for game settings, when you create a new game.
In several of these cases, the string "String Not Found" displays in-game instead of the string I entered.

Does anyone have any solution for this? Where is the related "string table tag"?

Without seeing exactly what you did all I can say is take a look at

elemental.str

Here's what I modified in threat levels:

Code: xml
Weak:0,255,0
Weak:75,255,0 
Weak:150,255,0 
Average:255,255,0 
Medium:255,225,0 
Strong:255,150,0 
Deadly:255,75,0 
Epic:255,0,0

Only threat level 0, 800, 1200, 1800 and 2700 display the correct strings in-game.
The game obviously tries to get the strings from a lookup-table, and it could be the elemental.str file you mentioned:

Code: xml
[ThreatLevel_Weak] Weak 
[ThreatLevel_Average] Medium 
[ThreatLevel_Strong] Strong 
[ThreatLevel_Deadly] Deadly 
[ThreatLevel_Epic] Epic

I'm just not sure how exactly this works, and it takes a while to test this while playing - it seems to me that I have to start a new game in order to see any effect of changing the threat strings.
