Flavor Text Problems

I'm having problems getting flavor text to appear in the game when using the flavor text editor and Steam workshop.

When GalCiv3 was first released I made a mod and began editing the flavor text to add more conversations, to add more types of conversations and to fix problems in the flavor text.  I have doing it since then without a problem and have added a lot to the available flavor text when I'm using my mod.

Now that the flavor text editor exists and flavor text support has, supposedly, been added to the Steam workshop, I edited the flavor text in my mod to eliminate everything that wouldn't work except in my mod and uploaded the resulting flavor text to Steam, then subscribed to it.

I deactivated my mod and started a new game.  My flavor text did not appear in the game.  I played long enough to see several instances of it, but none appeared.  I then put the flavor text from Steam into in a mod, and it appeared.  There is nothing wrong with the flavor text.  It just doesn't appear in the game when in the FlavorText directory.

I have all expansions and DLC.  This is with Retribution 3.5.  I have now tried the 3.6 opt-in with the same result.


Also, when I go to the workshop in Steam and check for flavor text, none is available.  When I go to the workshop from GalCiv3, flavor text is available.  I have tried Resync Mods, but that didn't help.

Just an FYI for what it's worth, I also created a valid flavor text and uploaded it to steam with the same effects you had. I can't load a Flavortext for a race either.

Bumping because I'm wondering if anything is being done about this.

I have added an official instance of this bug in our tracker. Hopefully we can figure out what is going on and get it resolved.
