Do the German "Umlaute" - ä (ae) ö (oe), ü (ue) - work ?!?!

I remember a map tester from ... Canada (?) who answered, that this was displayed correctly.

[Frankiek]

It depends on the setup of individual systems

[Seppel]

Mmmh ... so this should be reworked, too ?

I wander why no one reported this back for the version 2.

I wander why no one reported this back for the version 2.

.....

Because It was only a brief problem in the mission intro, it had nothing to do with the actual mission flight.

In other words, it's just an aesthetic problem...

But, from a map maker's point of view, my answer may be very disappointing.

Because place nomination is an important issue on the map.

[Seppel]

However...
Thank you for your hint, gunny!
I released a new dl link (still named version 2) with an alternative "_texts" file.      (Frankiek  )

If anyone could repot back, please ...


Hope our Scandinavian friends won't kill me ...

[gunny0134]

Yes, the fonts are well expressed without any broken spots....

Big thank you !!



And one question is, can the solution you offered apply to other maps with the same symptoms ?

Because your settlements_texts file seems to be compatible with. I'll keep this file in mind and test it on a different map one day.

[Seppel]

That's good news!
Thanks for the report.

Do your question mean my other maps or any map?
For the Silesia map which I am reworking at the moment,
I will -now- offer an alternative _texts file, too.

[gunny0134]

Any map, not yours !!

Never mind. I'm going to keep this in mind and try to apply it on my own later.

[Seppel]

Yes, that should be possible, as you can open the file with the Windows editor.

I wander if two maps with only different _texts file would work together in multiplay?

But the problem I see, gunny is:
If you have a "broken" _texts file, where f.e. a German Ö is displayed as a square, how you gonna know what replacement you have to use? 

[gunny0134]

When I opened your solution file as an editor, I realized.

Most map files contain 'texts' file. I didn't know what file this was until now. I just knew it was a kind of Readme file...

There's all the places name on the map.

When I find a broken place name font on the map, I can probably fix the place name in the 'texts' file.

The fix method can be done according to the notation of each country.

So, it was my misunderstanding that I thought your solution file would be a utility that could be applied to any map.

Thank you.

PS : but it's another problem to know what the original spell of a place name's broken font is. I think this should be referred to the actual map. Then, would it be better to leave it as it is for mental health...

[Vampire_pilot]

What does this mean?

That the next package for BAT will have this map in it. Meaning, it sure works in BAT for me right now

[Seppel]

Wow!
