Hi! I was searched help file in AGS 2.71 but i haven't found How i should make game in Native language. I tryed import TTF font (natieve language), but text appear only English.....
Thanks.
I guess you're russian, so you probably want to display cyrillic letters.
A font file is basically a table of letters. A cyrillic font still has normal letters at the regular positions, and AGS imports only those, as far as I know.
I have no idea how what you want can be achieved.
Make your game's basic language in English, then use the translation feature to make a Russian translatiion, make sure that you use TTF with Russian characters for it.
To KhrisMUC:
Thanks for help! :) Haha. How you have learned that am rus.?
whisper: I suppose u have some attitude with :"Visionaire" engine? Is it free now?
To Gilbot: Thanks mr.! :) Well if translation is work i will try!
:"Visionaire" engine? Is it free now? No ..
>>> Well I has taken TTF fonts (which exists nitive characters) in windows(R) and imported it into AGS. Wonder why appear only english characters (lets skip it, maybe thats must be so). Then i make translation > *.tra . But in game where must be native characters appear absolutely wrong symbols. Why?
AGS can only display the first 256 (or something) characters in a TTF font and the first 128 something for AGI fonts, so that's why you're encouraged to use TTF for it (I think Russian fonts were still in the first 256 area, so that's okay).
But even after you imported a TTF, make sure that all the displayed messages use the font set you imported and not using the originally provided ones (which of course won't contain Russian characters).
For more information, read Q4 from here (http://americangirlscouts.org/agswiki/index.php/Graphics%2C_Characters%2C_Text_%26_Rooms).
No isn't work! I have confused... I do as is written in the "help".
