TEXT_TROUBLE

[smitje]

HI, there and congratulations on building a great game.

Im just having some difficulties getting the text to show

I am on a lunux box (ubuntu)
in the Netherlands (nl)
Installed the game successfully

but when I run it I keep seeing TXT_STANDARD_CAMPAIGN and BOLTER_TXT etc. in places where there should be a description.
so after reading some on the forum I tried: set s_language en
but I stil get the same
I allso tried set s_language
en_GB
nl
nl_NL

and made a copy of i18n/en and named it i18n/nl
so far nothing worked, it looks like the text is not being found

Do jou have any surgestions

Cheers Smitje

if you are using the svn version (trunk) you should try the latest revision - we implemented language switching via menu recently

[smitje]

I guess that would involve compiling it myself right?

is there a good page with instructions, or a way to update automaticly? Im still a bit fresh to linux?

cheers smitje

have a look to our wiki at http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Coding#Compiling_the_source

[smitje]

that looks complicated is there a simple how-to for the stable version.

or could i perhaps do only the text part and peplace the base/n18i/.../....mo file (and where should i get that

cheers

I think you need new c code, not new mo.

I think the language fixes you need start around revision9573 (8th July) ish. It still needs polishing, mind.

keep an eye here
http://mattn.ninex.info/download/
for the next testinstaller for your platform.

Though I would encourage you to try svn and compiling. Another advantage of this is that as new stuff comes out you can just download the changes.

Thanks for the help

I managed to compile, de most recent version, and I have text!
Music doesn't work jet but I am not sure if that is an isue withj Ufo or with Ubuntu (6.10), jes I did download the files.
And there is something funny with an alaska mischion I think is a bug so I will report that else wkere, In the mean time Im having fun. thank you all!
