TRNSLATE lump

[DoomKrakken]

Ok, sweet!

I don't think the ZDoom wiki has been updated with the necessary info yet, so could you please tell me the names of those new ACS/DECORATE functions?

[Graf Zahl]

ACS: SetTranslation(tid, translationname)
DECORATE: A_SetTranslation(translationname)

[DoomKrakken]

Thanks!

Niiiice. This will cut some steps out of some monster randomization stuff I made.

This is great news. Just one question: Can this be exposed to TEXTURES as well? Very please.

[Rachael]

With a barrel making that kind of face, it's hard to say no.

Only curious, but how come?

[Jimmy]

As in, why might I find it useful?

^ Basically.

That's the TEXTURES lump for this WAD of mine. There's about 2000 entries there and many of them are using identical translations. It's perhaps a weird/extreme way to create a texture resource, but it seemed a more reliable way than trying to duplicate and recolor stuff manually in the WAD itself with SLADE. And I kept losing my saved translation text files every time I moved machines/reinstalled SLADE, too.

Again, extreme example maybe, but hoooo boy would this be an appreciated addition. I'm sure it wouldn't be just me that gets use out of it.

At the moment it is not being exposed to TEXTURES. This may need a bit of refactoring because TEXTURES uses translations a bit differently than the rest of the engine.

I figured it wouldn't exactly be a "right away" thing... no worries.

And I kept losing my saved translation text files every time I moved machines/reinstalled SLADE, too.

By default they're stored on Windows in %APPDATA%\SLADE3\translations, but you get a standard Windows file dialog so you could save them anywhere you want.

Does the Translation property support this as well?
