Hello again! Here's TEST Patch P9 with a lot more fixes, in various parts of the program.
Language support changes :
ANSI Codepage of selected Keyboard is automatically detected
Selectable language names now displayed in their own language
Improved size of tyre temperature and suspension damage text
Hold CTRL in text box to show manual codepage selector buttons
New ^9 code - restore original colour without changing codepage
FIX : Space bar on Russian keyboard was not stopping host list
FIX : System messages / race control messages in wrong codepage
FIX : Player names appearing wrongly or corrupting text strings
FIX : Selector initiated by input box stopped F key closing box
Other changes :
Pit stop required (yes or OK=done) is now shown in the F12 menu
Faster text draw by using fewer, bigger textures (less swapping)
SHIFT+O now enters options from setup screen (same as in game)
Join screen shows selected player and gives access to options
FIX : Holding SHIFT+X from in-game put LFS into a strange state
FIX : Repeated message "Could not load colours - using default"
FIX : Crash if track changed when user was in select car screen
FIX : No mid-race join option now only active if 2 cars in race
FIX : Last key pressed in text box could activate its function
FIX : TAB and SHIFT+TAB should now show all cars and not crash
FIX : Page Up and Page Down keys generated " and ! characters
FIX : Small numerical error in foot-pounds and bar units
Known Issues :
I'm not sure, until i hear back from the users who can switch keyboards, but it may be annoying that they need to switch keyboard when the text box is not open - because it will use the code page that was selected when they first pressed T... anyway, let me know if it seems good or bad - any ideas for improving it!
