Title: About language/menu files
Post by: Orden on June 24, 2014, 04:10:53 PM
Today I've been playing around with the Editor and the game's files, and I noticed the language/english.xml file.

Is it possible to make the game load a modified version of it? Not counting map-specific stuff, the game doesn't have a lot of text and it'd be cool to translate Hammerwatch to other languages.
I know how to change text shown in a map, but I'm interested in changing the menu text.

You can have the game load a different english.xml, however, there are a limited amout of different characters, so a lot of languages aren't supported. Languages using the standard english letters and also the swedish ÅÖÄ are supported.

I am interested in translating the game to Spanish, and apparently the font has all the characters I need.

How can I make it load a different english.xml? I suppose I would have to repack assets.bin, but I do not know how. Editing the .bin file causes the game to crash.
Sorry if this sounded stupid, but I do not know much about editing compressed files.

That translation was made it before (for me btw) and you can get it from here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/239070/discussions/0/558747287524175152/ (http://steamcommunity.com/app/239070/discussions/0/558747287524175152/)
