Add custom language support for zscript\menu\playermenu.txt

[Kostov]

There's this little piece of code in the aforementioned file, which translates to "PRESS SPACE TO SEE FRONT/BACK" in the player setup menu:

Code: Select all

	override void Drawer ()
	{
		Super.Drawer();
		String str = "PRESS " .. TEXTCOLOR_WHITE .. "SPACE";
		screen.DrawText (SmallFont, Font.CR_GOLD, 320 - 32 - 32 - SmallFont.StringWidth (str)/2, 50 + 48 + 70, str, DTA_Clean, true);
		str = mRotation ? "TO SEE FRONT" : "TO SEE BACK";
		screen.DrawText (SmallFont, Font.CR_GOLD, 320 - 32 - 32 - SmallFont.StringWidth (str)/2, 50 + 48 + 70 + SmallFont.GetHeight (), str, DTA_Clean, true);

	}
	
}

I tried modifying it and including it in a .pk3 for a translation I'm making. I got this error, though:

Code: Select all

File C:/Doom/GZDoom/gzdoom.pk3 is overriding core lump zscript/menu/playermenu.txt.

Is it possible to replace this part of the code so that the text can derive from the language.enu file instead, and thus make it possible to modify?

Already in. (Don't try overriding the default menus by the way, that won't work.)

First, set up the LANGUAGE lump. e.g.

Code: Select all

[en default]
QUITMSG = "Leave me. I have work to be done.";

Then use Stringtable.Localize like this:

Code: Select all

String quitmessage = Stringtable.Localize("$QUITMSG");

This will get you the specific language version.

Already in.

With the code snippet he quoted, it's not.

[Major Cooke]

Ah, you mean in the base version. Okay.

[Kostov]

Yeah. Best case scenario would be if this could be implemented in future versions of GZDoom.
