How to extract locale.scs

[ScuL81]

Maybe I can rephrase the question.

Can anybody that has access to the contents of locale.scs tell me what the sii file looks like that contains the names of the countries? (or send me that file/those files).

I have no interest in the rest of the pack, only the country names.

Thx

Change all country names to plain text in normal quotation marks (including the default countries) then you're done.
Note you will also have to do the same with the original countries if extending the default map & reassign all country related data (borders etc.) in map editor.
Do not use @@blahblah@@ string pointers in other words.

Unfortunatelly, it seems that they dont work on it anymore

There is completed section Greek Languages, in GetLocalization system. They are, probably, satisfied with it.

[Dimitris]

You can take part on the Localization process through here..

Unfortunatelly, it seems that they dont work on it anymore, because I signed up to get the game localized to Greek, but they havent contacted with me yet, and I suppose they wont..
But, ehh

Greek language is ready and not in progress. I am one of the three translators of Greek language and I think every language is limited to three translators.

Why this file(locale.scs) is encrypted?
unreasonable.... What is the purpose here???

[Reinhard]

Unreasonable? If it is only to distract noob modders from wrecking the base and call for help without mentioning what they have done, it is well enough reason for me.

EDIT: sorry, I had bases.scs in mind when wrote this. Seems I lost context.

I think the locale.scs isn`t needed to it. Look to the Gobba32 map for example, than adds Portugal, Spain and Greece. No signal of locale.scs. And the TruckSim v1.5 also don`t have the locale folder. I think that name is just a coincidence, but the locale.scs isn`t responsible to add or remove name of countries. Looks like someting about the game engine (encrypted).

[ScuL81]

I don't have those maps, can you please post a screenshot of the map where the country names are depicted correctly?

According to what I have found the names of the countries are language dependant. If you run the game in German, Germany would be called "Deutschland" whereas in French it's called "Allemagne". This must be saved in a locale string at some stage, it is certainly not in the country def's!!

[hawkbs]

If you extract the DEF.scs you should have a file called country.sii which gives the identifiers for each country

example

Code: Select all

SiiNunit
{
# For modders: Please do not modify this file if you want to add a new entry. Create in
# this directory a new file "<base_name>.<idofyourmod>.sii" where <base_name> is name of
# base file without the extension (e.g. "city" for "/def/city.sii") and <idofyourmod> is
# some string which is unlikely to conflict with other mod.
#
# Warning: Even if the units are specified in more than one source file, they share the
# same namespace so suffixes or prefixes should be used to avoid conflicts.

@include "country/usa.sii"  [color=#BF8000]#NOTE MY CUSTOM COUNTRY THIS FILE IS SAVED AS COUNTRY.CUSTOM.sii#[/color]
}

# Recommended country identifiers for currently unused countries. Using those indices
# is not required however it improves compatibility with future DLCs or with other
# mods utilizing indices from this table.

# **** EUROPE ****

# 14 Albania
# 15 Andorra
# 16 Belarus
# 17 Bosnia and Herzegovina
# 18 Bulgaria
# 19 Croatia
# 20 Cyprus
# 21 Denmark
# 22 Estonia
# 23 Finland
# 24 Georgia
# 25 Greece
# 26 Iceland
# 27 Republic of Ireland
# 28 Latvia
# 29 Liechtenstein
# 30 Lithuania
# 31 Malta
# 32 Moldova
# 33 Monaco
# 34 Montenegro
# 35 Norway
# 36 Portugal
# 37 Romania
# 38 Russia
# 39 San Marino
# 40 Serbia
# 41 Slovenia
# 42 Spain
# 43 Sweden
# 44 Turkey
# 45 Ukraine

Then you simply goto the country folder create the sii for your country like this by copying another countries sii.
example

Code: Select all

country_data: country.data.usa
{
	name: "@@usa@@"
	country_code: "USA"
	pos:(-193466, 0, 80182)
	fuel_price: 1.02
	country_id: 149
	lights_mandatory: false
	car_speed_limits: (30.0f, 60.0f, 80.0f) # MPH
	truck_speed_limits: (30.0f, 40.0f, 60.0f) # MPH
	imperial_units: true
	
	driving_tired_offence: true

Well done hawkbs for replying to a post that's almost 2 years old, but that is exactly what ScuL81 said he didn't want.
As he's a developer now, I doubt this is a particular problem any more
