extra_english.lang Not Working - Zaffre - 08-13-2012

Hello. I recently posted about how my stories weren't showing up, but that's sorted out. Here's my error: the extra_english.lang isn't working. I've tried editing it, but to no avail. Here are my scripts; I followed them from a video, as I'm new to coding. It could just be my ignorance.

01_tutorial.hps (the main map):

Spoiler below!
void OnStart()
{
SetLocalVarInt("DoorLocked", 1);
AddUseItemCallback("", "key_study_1", "level_wood_1", "FUNCTION", true);
AddUseItemCallback("", "key_study_2", "mansion_1", "FUNCTION2", true);
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("mansion_1", "FUNCTION3", false);
}

void OnEnter()
{

}

void OnLeave()
{

}
void FUNCTION(string &in item, string &in door)
{
SetLevelDoorLocked("level_wood_1", false);
PlayGuiSound("unlock_door.snt", 100);
RemoveItem("key_study_1");
}
void FUNCTION2(string &in item, string &in door)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("mansion_1", false, true);
PlayGuiSound("unlock_door.snt", 100);
RemoveItem("key_study_2");
SetLocalVarInt("DoorLocked", 0);
}
void FUNCTION3(string &in entity)
{
if(GetLocalVarInt("DoorLocked") == 1)
{
SetMessage("Messages", "doorlock2", 3);
}
}

Additional Info: I have two keys. Their custom IDs are key1 an key2. The tutorial series is made by XXVengeanceFilmsXX on YouTube. Thanks in advance.

RE: extra_english.lang Not Working - Kurton - 08-16-2012

You need closing quotation marks after the ItemDescs and ItemNames for key1 and key2, as well as Description.

e.g.
Code:
<Entry Name="ItemDesc_key1">A silver key coated with rust.</Entry>

You are missing one (") marker.

The resources section is used to set directory paths for resources (like fonts and the lang); it is only used for full/total conversions so modders can introduce additional custom elements as well as use their own custom lang file. Literally no use for normal mods; I think people just copy it from Your Computer's tutorial or whatever beginner's tutorial for the lang they're using.
