verify the
"strid_name = "
lines in universe.ini and the name in the DLLs.

Universe.ini
-------------------------------------
[system
nickname = CAPITAL01
file = systems\CAPITAL01\CAPITAL01.ini
pos = 5, 6
visit = 1
strid_name = 458802 <---
ids_info = 458790
NavMapScale = 0.850005
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_system_CAPITAL01

DLL
-----
Using FLED-ids:
ids_name: 458802 -> Capital


The DLL seems to be well but the name follows without appearing.

May or may not help, try some ids numbers further up the scale, read somewhere that its a good idea to start the ids numbers at 460000 and upward. Been doing that myself without any aggro. Oh and follow the advice of the previous post as well, remember bases should be listed in the Universe.ini before any systems

... or implement the System's custom Infocards with FLMM/XLM, such as writing a simple XLM script like this:

<script>
<scriptversion>
1.3
</scriptversion>
<data file="data\universe\universe.ini" method="append">
<source>
[system
nickname = CAPITOL01
file = systems\CAPITOL01\CAPITOL01.ini
pos = 0, 0
visit = 0
strid_name = 0 ;GENERATESTRRES("Capitol System" )
ids_info = 0 ;GENERATEXMLRES("<xml><RDL><PUSH/><TEXT>Capitol</TEXT><PARA/><TEXT>Capitol System is the home of the great Wunderknugs of Gluck.</TEXT><POP/></RDL></xml>" )
NavMapScale = 0.850000
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_system_CAPITOL01
</source>
</data>
</script>

r u use a mod
coz if u do u need to send it to the mod creator
if not reinstall the game

i play the game few years and never had such problems in normall game

I think you should simply make an infocard for the Systems and link them together.

Argh:
IIRC, XML Script won't work there.

Darksiege:
Is the system listed in the MPNewCharacter.fl file?
(It's in the EXE folder.)

Watch your 6!

XML scrpt will work in any mod that is meant to use FLMM format (which you're gojng to, aren't you?). If you put the command into an ini file, just add a copyfile command to the script.xml with scanfile="true". Worked for everything for me so ffar, even the strid_name in universe.ini

I'm already using XML/FLMM to do all of these things... that example was a truncated cut-and-pasted example, straight from the working code in Beta 1

There are a few things I'm going to leave in the INIs, but not much, basically... just about everything has turned out to be replacable with XML, and it's not terribly hard, once I got past that stupid CTD caused by an early gun script

Mephistopheles:
Never tried doing it that way, thanx.
