Missing texts and no music

[pbolanos]

Hi guys!

Hope someone can help me with two annoying problems that cropped up after installing some files into my plugins folder.  The game seems to be running fine and I can actually still enjoy playing despite the two issues.  One is that I hear no music while playing the game, but the sound effects (traffic, bulldoze, etc) are ok.  I've adjusted the volume, but to no avail.  Secondly, the texts in the dialogue boxes and popup boxes are missing or don't show up properly.  I get the message "NOT IN TEXT DATABASE" or ###### (see attached picture for example).  The most annoying part is when I choose to drive and an attempt a misson, the description of the mission doesn't show up and I end up guessing whether to accept or cancel--this is also the case when the ordinances dialogue box is up, no accept and cancel buttons appear.  Hope you can help resolve these issues.  Thanks.

I can't help you with the sound...

However, the texts might be missing if your SimCityLocale.DAT file is corrupt or truncated.
Can you check the size of that file, located in the folder C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4\English ?
The one I've got is 939 kB. That's the size of the Rush Hour version.

If yours is smaller, you will probably have to reinstall Rush Hour to get it back.
