Edit: Just tested. Blitz3D can't read Asian characters correctly unless you use a library like FastText

Blitz3D, the game engine, does not support such characters natively. I've been testing with a few different fonts with support for these characters, and the FastText userlib, but so far, I've had no successzesty wrote:I see. Though I can speak English but I'm totally noob to game translation, I also tried to change the language file into UTF8 but still no good luck. But if I compile that language mod with UTF8 code will it display Asian characters correctly?UnnamedGS wrote:Any language that needs to be encoded differently to the standard Windows-1252 will not work properly.

Now I'm using the mod in http://scpcbgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=886 and seems like it doesn't work out with Chinese characters. I'm wondering if you can use Korean characters to it and also works?
So basically, that means Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Telugu, Russian, Hindi, Arabic, Yiddish, and many more will mess up the same way Korean messed up for me :(
This translation is passed to me. We cannot solve this problem. so I hope to get some advises.zesty wrote:I have solved my problems now and also organized other players to help with the translation. We just build it against the original source code, with a FastText userlib included. It was easy, and there's a guide about it. And I choose the Ascii version of FastText, and the translated source code just works.
Here's a link to some Chinese website that I post the pics of translation. And it's now WIP.
The first one was posted by me: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2100811815 There's a little problem with that exe, so it will crash when the game is started.
Then we works on the problem and solved it! Here's another link: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2103010502
If there's any help that I can make, please send a reply to this thread. Maybe you have solved it by yourself too?
