Summary | 0002802: Bitmap "texts" cannot be translated | ||||
Description | The menu contains a fairly large selection of bitmaps that serve as headlines, or buttons. We need to find a way to create text variants for these, so they can be translated. | ||||
Additional Information | Two different fonts are used here: * Carleton (that is already available as D3 font, albeit the size does not exactly match) * Mason Alternate Serif (we do not have this as D3 font, nor as TTF) Also, the buttons pose the additional difficulty that they must highlight in a two-color version (with a red glow). Some headlines also come in a two-color version, using a white "outline" or "glow". | ||||

I found a way to create the "glow" effect by adding a "glow variant" of the font, then use two fonts layed over each other with a small 1x1 pixel offset. See http://modetwo.net/darkmod/index.php?/topic/12863-translating-the-tdm-gui/page__view__findpost__p__262822 for reference. Now the only work left is to replace all the bitmap definitions in the GUI with strings. |
|
Most of the GUIs are already done, including the main menu, the shop, failure/Success screens, as well as the mission statistic. A few are still missing, like: * the red-glow buttons in the settings menu * the text "Objectives" in the main menu (the in-game one works already) * the headlines in the shop A few texts use a different font (mainly the big headlines, like "The Dark Mod" and "Load ยท Save"), these cannot yet be replaced until we create a new bitmap font specifically for these. That is however, quite minor. |
|
Everything except headlines in the different font and the Load/Save buttons is done now. The no longer used button graphics have also been removed. | |
