Localizing the game

[daemonxhun]

I started make a hungarian localization for the game just for fun. I placed it's txt file in the language folder. Unfortunately though the game only detects the 4 base language (english, french, italian, spanish). Is there a file where I need to add a route to the new language file in order for the game to detect it?


Obviously if I replace another language file with my language file, it works.
Also: the word "random" is "véletlenszerű" in hungarian. But if I translate it, the game doesn't display the last letter (ű). Is it because this letter isn't supported, or is it because the game can only display a set amount of letters?

Hi.
Unfortunately only the devs can add new language support.
Full language support includes adding a new language file and modifying theme files (the theme system uses specific language tags like <spanish> in example). Due to the theme system does not know what <hungarian> is,
you have to modify some of the already supported language files (until the devs adds hungarian support).

The game uses special font system. It uses *.png file for each letter (small or capital) or symbol.
The default font is located here: .\Phase Shift\data\fonts\default.
It's a kind of 'global' font (any theme can use it).

Note that each theme can provide its own fonts.
The *.png filename must equal the unicode character number (decimal number, not a hexadecimal).
You can see this numbers here: unicode-table.com/en/#0170
In this website the decimal number is called 'HTML-code' (remove the leading '&#').

All you have to do is to add new *.png file for every character that you want to support.
Do this for all the fonts used by the desired theme.

Example:
Ű must be named 368.png
ű must be named 369.png

Hope this helps.
