sorry, but I don't completely understand how this encoding thing works
from below: the encoding of the file from the version that works looks the same as the previously broken version.
when I open up the file with notepad++ and it's in utf-8 to begin with (or is it? not sure) or at least that's what it says then I go to encoding --> character sets --> cyrillic --> windows-1251. but then when I open it in another view it shows UTF-8 encoding so it only shows a character set over utf-8 or something. what troubles me more (as you see below) is that the file from the version that worked looks exactly the same and I did the same thing but it works and the previous version does not... ??? I guess it doesn't save the windows-1251 encoding just for misc.xml
I am thoroughly confused about this now. when you said the first string is irrelevant what do you mean by that? I really don't understand any of this encoding business... I commented it out and in to no avail
for now, I guess I just won't touch that misc file and just translate the other stuff, because when I translated those new tips (somehow I got new tips into the misc file) it didn't work apparently.
maybe if I just translate all of the tips at once then save there won't be a problem. won't clear my confusion though

Hooray! I narrowed it down to the misc.xml file being wacky! EDIT: started comment before reply
apparently the misc.xml file was corrupted or something so I replaced it with the one from the version that worked. I tried changing the encoding style of the version that broke but that didn't do anything. I figured that I hadn't even done any alterations/translation to the events_zoltan.xml file and for that matter I've hardly touched events (starting beacons and end sector is what I have so far I think. also a bunch of "Continue..."'s that were previously in russian were changed to english because those were easy and the same.)
so here is a version with the new (old? heh) misc.xml file in place and it works fine.
Here is a changelog with what's in the mod so far
Code: Select all
Changelog:
v 0.51
- fixed the issues with the SMM patching failing
- state of misc.xml file unknown. tips about new weapon types are probably still in Russian
v 0.1 - v 0.4
- start sector beacons, some empty beacons, sector 8 main quest starting beacon events
- bunch of "Continue..." 's in place of the Russian ones
- weapons, drones, augs., etc. in blueprints.xml probably 45% done. still need some adjustments
- race types and abilites translated
- DLC ships file fully translated (except for weapons, drones, augs., etc. which are in the base mod)
- first dialog box with crew members while waiting for FTL to charge translated.
Here are the new download links:
Mediafire download for Arsenal+ base mod English Translation
Mediafire download for DLC ships English Translation
To-do:
- events... there are ... so many
- missiles, half of the drones, half of the weapons probably, in blueprints.xml
- I haven't touched the other blueprints files (autoBlueprints.xml, dlcBlueprints.xml, etc.) so there's probably stuff there.
