Exult Forum

I change some chars to unsigned char and get it:

148 lines[cur_line].append(text, ewrd - text);
169 const unsigned char *str = lines.data();
327 lines[cur_line].append(text, ewrd - text);
348 const unsigned char *str = lines.data();

text, ewrd - unsigned char

It can be solved?

Try http://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/~wpalenst/font.patch (patch against current CVS)

If it works properly I'll commit it to CVS.

It's WORK!!! Huray!!!
Please commit it it CVS!!!!!!
Big THANKS!

Ups...
In start scene BG - then the Red Moon Gate going down game is stoped (not responding).

Bug only than starts a russian dialogs (russian uphead text and englsh dialogs work fine).

I directly change one symbol in usecode file(Iolo dialogs). While it was original all work fine, than before show changed dialog application halted.

I'm sorry, but I really can't figure out what you're trying to say. What exactly did you try, what works and what doesn't work?

work all, except russian dialogs. Example - then I start game I can see Iolo talking with Petre in russian. Than Avatar come throw red moongate and shown dialog. If I add in this dialog one or more russian symbol, application halted.

How did you edit the usecode? (With which tools?)

I try edit with tools and try change directly using FAR manager.

Editing usecode needs the right tools.
You can't directly edit usecode using a hex editor (or similar), since that will almost certainly mess up the structure of the file.

To translate usecode, you should first disassemble usecode. Then, translate the disassembled files. Finally, re-assemble it.
This way, the internal structure will be preserved.

I think Artaxerxes wrote some posts on the forum about the details. Try searching the forum for them.

I correctly compule usecode, couse it was work with unsigned char default version of exult.
And directly I only replace latin symbol, it dont corrupt file structure.
Maybe you connect to chat and we discuss this?

> And directly I only replace latin symbol, it dont corrupt file structure.

Ok, if you only replace characters, and don't remove or add any, it should work. (But I would not recommend using this for fully translating all of usecode )


Can you send me your usecode file so I can take a look? (use the email address I entered with this post)

Ok, sended. Font I send to you month ago

It works here.

Did you maybe make some other changes to the code?

are use font I was sent you?

I just now try to new compile (last cvs) and get halt agane.
may couse I use WinXP?

Can you enable verbose usecode tracing in your exult.cfg file and try again?
(And post the last 25 lines of stdout.txt after that?)

This should cause a _lot_ of debugging information to be written to stdout.txt


your exult.cfg should look something like:


[the rest of the config file]



verbose





(So the key to set is config/debug/trace/usecode, with value 'verbose')

Hm, maybe the usecode debugging info is in stderr.txt instead?

no, stderr clear

Hm, did you compile exult with debugging enabled?

no I must?

yes

hm, the stdout.txt output got cut-off somewhere. Maybe because of stdout buffering. This is about 5 lines before "the stables" show up, btw.

and...???
