Hi,

i found an "bug"...

I'll install the old P3 now, because i can live with that P3 Bugs (i'll wait for P5 :P or 1.0 beta ^^ *g*)

Ok. In the next version i'll allow it to go down to 0.03 which is all you will need, because the text is a little smaller than the old version, for the same number. In fact in the next version you will use approximately 0.032 and that will look like 0.028 in the old version.

Btw is it possible to set a different mipmap lod bais for the text and the ingame textures?
It would be nice to have sharp text also on my notebook

Wouldn't the use of unicode be better/easier instead of various codepages? Or is there a problem I don't see?

Scawen explained why using unicode isn't an option for now in the P3 thread.

Oh... ok, thanks

I'm not sure if it's a bug but all text in lfs seem to have gotten a bit bigger and/or bolder.

It's wider. It's a side effect of something else and i decided to leave it because it seemed to be more readable.

Because the letters needed to be squashed a little vertically, to fit in the accents, so they were then made larger on the buttons and user messages, to compensate. And that left them the same height as the old ones but slightly wider.

I decided that looked better than the old thin ones, so i wouldn't go trying to adjust all the widths again... but everyone else's opinions are welcome, of course.

I like the new text size.

I have problems with the Estonian-only letter Õõ .

The top line(or whatever you call this) is looking really bad.

About the translating: I think this wil be ready in 1-2 weeks.(That`s the time when it`s absolutely correct) Then going to translate the Lessons. Today finished the most-wanted part of HELP file(skipped Starting of the Server)

But it can be used umm... in four days.

Greatz! Lible

EDIT: What does the language name actually do? I changed it to "Eesti Keel", but the language name is still the file name.

Scawen, There are much complains about their [cyrillic letters] sizes, but I hope to make not a big list of corrections.

[ edited: no need for a table. I'll make one on my own. ]

I'm translating the help file, plan to finish it tomorrow. Also making corrections to the language file.

Would be super, thx...

How do you mean? The tilde sign is too small, unreadable, wrong shape, or what? Please give a better description of how it is bad so i can improve it.

Ok, when it's nice, tested and stable, just let me know - and same for all the other new translators, please. By the way, to test the "agreement" text in the help file, you can edit the cfg.txt and set "First Time" to 1.

Good question, it should say "Estonian", in Estonian. It doesn't do anything yet but i plan to somehow read this and make it selectable using this word, so the file name won't matter. So "Russian" could be in Russian letters, etc...

The tilde in LFS is like lightning. But it must be smooth like this: Õ

In lfs, it is like THIS

Can you actually see the õ ?

FIX : Fuel amount when taking over car Great 1 !

Don`t know that does this bug belong with P4 or not, but i sawd it first time:

I raced 10 mins ago in a server. I were lapped - the blue flag flashed, then dissapeared. I were lapped many times after that but no Blue Flag was showed. After that i were late with braking . Had to back up and i drived accidently wrong way a bit. BEEP BEEP my speakers screamed, but no Wrong Way message appeared. And the laptimes center messages worked correct.

In short words: Center WARNING messages dissapeared

I too like the new bigger letters, and all the accents for our language look good now.

Excellent thing about language name being read from the file instead of file name. Our Serbian translation has been tested for weeks and weeks and all is well, except Toe-in and Scrub, we can't find the correct words yet. Should be ready in time for the next patch, and we would do the Serbian Cyrillic version as well which shouldn't take us long.

Regadring switching codepages.... is it possible to use the keyboard layout ID as language.exe is registering that? Then just find a table which keyboard corresponds with which codepage?

I just tested the First Time 1 and when the list of languages is long this is how it appears (attachment).

Many fixes in the Russian translation are made, 12 help file entries translated, 20 remaining. Time to have a sleep. Quite a tough day.

"FIX : Fuel amount when taking over car"

Can you explain better for a non english?

Quote from TRM.13 :

"FIX : Fuel amount when taking over car"

Can you explain better for a non english?

When you take over the car from another driver, very quickly at the end of his pit stop, sometimes you could get less fuel than he really filled up with. This bug should be fixed, if the person who is filling up, has the new version. To be clear : the one who was driving, and is now giving his car to the new driver, must have the new version, so it sends his fuel load at the moment the refuelling is finished.
