International Support, Client Side Patch

[whria78]

English client of Dark age of camelot does not support foreign language by default.

But, some patching make it possible to chat and display in your language.

1) Character Selection Windows

" [daoc install folder] / pregame / asset.xml " determine the font displayed in the character selection windows.

In, here
Gulim.ttf is the name of korean typefont, and
Gulim.ttf is usaully located at c:\windows\fonts
Change Gulim to your language font.

Code: Select all

<GdiFont> <Name>button_small</Name> <face>Gulim</face> <Height>11</Height> <TextureSize>512</TextureSize> </GdiFont> <GdiFont> <Name>button_large</Name> <face>Gulim</face> <Height>12</Height> <TextureSize>512</TextureSize> </GdiFont> <GdiFont> <Name>arial9</Name> <face>Gulim</face> <Height>11</Height> <TextureSize>512</TextureSize> </GdiFont> <GdiFont> <Name>arial11</Name> <face>Gulim</face> <Height>12</Height> <TextureSize>512</TextureSize> </GdiFont> <GdiFont> <Name>arial14</Name> <face>Gulim</face> <Height>13</Height> <TextureSize>512</TextureSize> </GdiFont> <GdiFont> <Name>large_gold</Name> <face>Gulim</face> <Height>12</Height> <TextureSize>512</TextureSize> </GdiFont> <GdiFont> <Name>med_gold</Name> <face>Gulim</face> <Height>12</Height> <TextureSize>512</TextureSize> </GdiFont> <GdiFont> <Name>medium</Name> <face>Gulim</face> <Height>12</Height> <TextureSize>512</TextureSize> </GdiFont>

2) Chatting Window

" [daoc install folder] / ui / atlantis / asset.xml " determine the chatting font displayed in atlantis UI.

Change Gulim to your langugae truetype font.

Code: Select all

<GdiFont> <Name>button_small</Name> <face>Gulim</face> <Height>11</Height> <TextureSize>512</TextureSize> </GdiFont> <GdiFont> <Name>button_large</Name> <face>Gulim</face> <Height>12</Height> <TextureSize>512</TextureSize> </GdiFont> <GdiFont> <Name>brit9</Name> <face>Gulim</face> <Height>11</Height> <TextureSize>512</TextureSize> </GdiFont> <GdiFont> <Name>arial9</Name> <face>Gulim</face> <Height>11</Height> <TextureSize>512</TextureSize> </GdiFont> <GdiFont> <Name>arial11</Name> <face>Gulim</face> <Height>12</Height> <TextureSize>512</TextureSize> </GdiFont> <GdiFont> <Name>arial14</Name> <face>Gulim</face> <Height>13</Height> <TextureSize>512</TextureSize> </GdiFont> <GdiFont> <Name>title</Name> <face>Gulim</face> <Height>13</Height> <TextureSize>512</TextureSize> </GdiFont> <GdiFont> <Name>barb10</Name> <face>Gulim</face> <Height>13</Height> <TextureSize>512</TextureSize> </GdiFont>

Code: Select all

<GdiFont> <Name>chat_small</Name> <face>Gulim</face> <Height>11</Height> <TextureSize>512</TextureSize> </GdiFont> <GdiFont> <Name>chat_large</Name> <face>Gulim</face> <Height>12</Height> <TextureSize>512</TextureSize> </GdiFont> <GdiFont> <Name>myriadbold</Name> <face>Gulim</face> <Height>11</Height> <TextureSize>512</TextureSize> </GdiFont> <GdiFont> <Name>minion</Name> <face>Gulim</face> <Height>11</Height> <TextureSize>512</TextureSize> </GdiFont>

3) Codepage setting

" [daoc install folder] / main.dat " determine the codepage of the client.

mbcs=1 means "multibyte character set" , 1 -> unicode.

"codepage 949" is Korean codepage.
You can find your language codepage at,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_code_page

Code: Select all

[international] mbcs=1 codepage=949
