Can you post the content of the language file here? Put it in [code] your content [/code] blocks.

You might have translated something in a way it bugs out the app.

You will have to copy + adjust "config/maps/germany.xml" to your needs.

- create "collission images" (so the mouse knows which district/state it is hovering), these are like "cutout images" (see the officepack image)
- - define them in the <stationmapdata>-part
- create a density map of the country and a surface map (same proportions)
- - place the url to this images within that <stationmapdata>-part too
- open settings.xml and replace <stationmap>germany.xml</stationmap>
with your new file
- open the locale files and insert the names for the federal states (to make it look pretty ) - do it similar to the already existing ones.

I know, this is a tedious load of work - but you asked for it.

Ahh ok - but this sentence was way easier for me to translate (using Google Translate).

So if you want, you can translate the game interface yourself:

- copy "res/lang/lang_en.txt" to "res/lang/lang_pt.txt"
- download tvtower_flags.zip
- extract "pt.png" to "res/grafiken/gui/flags/pt.png"
- edit "config/gui_languageflags.xml" and add this line inbetween (to load the flag ingame):

<sprite name="flag_pt" url="res/grafiken/gui/flags/pt.png" />

- edit the lang_pt.txt as needed

LANGUAGE_NAME_INTERNATIONAL = Portuguese
LANGUAGE_NAME_LOCALE = Português

...

Voila .. the game should then be in your language.

If you do this, feel free to email me the language file "lang_pt.txt" afterwards (so I could add it to the offical download package).

Please do not think the above is very complicated, on request I could even add all available flags next time (as a single spritesheet) so some steps are no longer needed (just add a lang_**.txt file then and you are ready to go).

Do you use "1" or "2" ?

If "0" did not work, your graphics card has problems with openGL (driver issue).

PS: you could write in your language + google translate (it is really hard to understand your English).

Hmm there is a file in the game directory

"config/settings.xml"

Open it in the texteditor of your choice (notepad, notepad++, textedit, ...).

It should look like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config version="2.0">
	<language>de</language>

	<playername>Player</playername>
	<channelname>My Channel</channelname>
	<startyear>1985</startyear>
	<database>res/database.xml</database>
	<stationmap>germany.xml</stationmap>

	<gamename>New Game</gamename>
	<onlineport>4544</onlineport>
	<fallbacklocalip>192.168.0.3</fallbacklocalip>

	<fullscreen>FALSE</fullscreen>
	<directx>0</directx>
	<colordepth>16</colordepth>

	<sound_effects>TRUE</sound_effects>
	<sound_music>TRUE</sound_music>

	<!-- possible values:
		all:     AUTOMATIC
		linux:   LINUX_ALSA, LINUX_OSS, LINUX_PULSE, UNIX_JACK
		mac:     MACOSX_CORE
		windows: WINDOWS_ASIO, WINDOWS_DS

		attention: program might crash with invalid settings, which
				   enforces you to adjust this file by hand!
	-->
	<sound_engine>AUTOMATIC</sound_engine>
</config>

Change the line
<directx>0</directx>
to
<directx>1</directx>
or
<directx>2</directx>

0 ... OpenGL
1 ... DirectX 7
2 ... DirectX 9

Does the bug look like this ?

This is how it looks currently, when run in a VirtualBox-Windows7. On a real one, it looks ok - so might be a gpu driver issue in this case.

I alread assumed you are using the latest version.

But I still am not sure what kind of problem you experienced: Are the graphics broken on each start of the "TVTower.exe" - or just as soon as you try loading a game?

Did it happen in versions before?

Ron

Hi marcos,

If you talk about "loading savegames leads to broken images": that bug is known and already fixed, please wait some days until I provide a new patch (I already got the terrorists working - and some other features).

But if you talk about some "general" problem (you start a game and the graphics are bugged) and this was NOT the case before: please tell me since which version you are having this problems.

bye
Ron

Nein Ronny, die Art der Beschreibung war für mich "Experten" genau richtig

Aber ich habe mir heute morgen mal dein Update von gestern runtergeladen und versuche es mal damit.
