Is support for win XP 32 planned in the future?

As long as it works, and someone (e.g. pedroterzero) maintains a build farm, it's alive.

But we (OXCE devs) don't officially support it for a long time already.
We have nowhere to test if it still works.
And honestly we have no interest in WinXP, we have enough problems with all other (officially supported) platforms.

The WinXP build server is working again.
You can download a build from here: https://github.com/pedroterzero/oxce-xp/releases

Thanks for the update. Everything works.
Just 2 comments.
1. It says version 8.0.2. Did I miss something?
2. The Russian translation has differences with the win64 version. Not the OXCE+ lines, but in the folders "\standard\xcom1-2".

1. It says version 8.0.2. Did I miss something?

I am working on new features yes, they have not been released yet.
(The build server is building everything I do, not only the official releases.)

If you want the same version (8.0.0) as win64, you can download it here: https://github.com/pedroterzero/oxce-xp/releases/tag/8.0.0-2024-12-30 or even older here: https://github.com/pedroterzero/oxce-xp/releases/tag/8.0.0-2024-12-27

2. The Russian translation has differences with the win64 version.

There were some updates to translations on 29.12.2024
New updates from Transifex, both for OXC and OXCE.

Are these the changes you found?

Are these the changes you found?

No, not in OXCE+. In the folders "\standard\xcom1-2". A strange translation with arbitrary abbreviations in the most unexpected places. On the one hand, you can not pay attention, on the other, it’s unusual.

[Meridian]

The link I provided above contains also changes in the "\standard\xcom1-2" folders.
There are indeed quite a lot of changed translations for Russian language.

If those are wrong, they need to be changed/reviewed directly on Transifex.
I just copy them from there, for all languages, without reviewing.

This might indeed be unclear. I made a suggestion here. https://github.com/pedroterzero/oxce-xp/issues/2

I'm also fine to leave it as is.

I am the author of the RU translation update for the vanilla games (incomplete yet) and have sent a PM with a question to Ethereal regarding his complaints.

Nah, just leave it as is.

We have less than 5 users of the winxp build, I'll rather explain it to all of them, instead of juggling with a new 0/1 flag.

We have nightly builds for win7/win10 builds too, so it's nothing new really.

[pedroterzero]

Alrighty.

No problem. It was necessary to tie the whole translation to the modification long ago. You just happen to have different translation options for different operating systems.
