Troubleshooting / Questions regarding strings
« on: October 05, 2013, 09:45:47 am »
So I started checking where the strings are used, and I have some questions.
1. There are some strings that I could not find where are they used:
STR_UNITS_TO and STR_PRODUCE appear to be meant to be used in the manufacture item screen, but there is a string already being used here, i.e. STR_TOTAL_TO_PRODUCE.
2. Everywhere into the game xcom is written as XCom, but the string STR_XCOM, displayed at the start of the turn, is written as Xcom.
3. There are some inconsistencies regarding color of some screens:
As a side note, I think this is the screen in which STR_START_PROJECT would be used instead of the OK button.
This is the screen where STR_TOTAL_TO_PRODUCE is used, and probably replaced STR_UNITS_TO and STR_PRODUCE.
In the second research screen STR_INCREASE and STR_DECREASE are used, while in the manufacture screen STR_INCREASE_UC and STR_DECREASE_UC - which look kind of strange. To me it looks like the screens consistent, with these strings being different.
I know that the project wants to be like the original, so it's no biggie, just some observations. I will continue checking the strings and where are they used, and I will post the table when it's finished, to make te job easy for translators.
1. There are some strings that I could not find where are they used:
Code: [Select]
STR_YOU_WILL_NEED_TO_RESEARCH_A
STR_XCOM_BASES
STR_BUILD_NEW_BASE
STR_START_PROJECT
STR_UNITS_TO
STR_PRODUCESTR_UNITS_TO and STR_PRODUCE appear to be meant to be used in the manufacture item screen, but there is a string already being used here, i.e. STR_TOTAL_TO_PRODUCE.
2. Everywhere into the game xcom is written as XCom, but the string STR_XCOM, displayed at the start of the turn, is written as Xcom.
3. There are some inconsistencies regarding color of some screens:
Research Screen
blue borders, purple buttons
yellow border, blue buttons
As a side note, I think this is the screen in which STR_START_PROJECT would be used instead of the OK button.
Manufacture Screen
purple borders for base, red for popup, blue buttons
blue borders for popup, blue buttons
red borders for popup, blue buttons
This is the screen where STR_TOTAL_TO_PRODUCE is used, and probably replaced STR_UNITS_TO and STR_PRODUCE.
