Language?

Dear All,

I am trying to use another language as "Text" in 3dgs. I am trying to plug in Arabic language as texts in the game. Is it possible in 3DGS to do so???
Please tell me how if it is possible.

Regards

Hi!

If you mean to use true type fonts (.ttf) or selfmade bitmap fonts within the text-objects (text name {...}) this is not a problem.
Maybe you will need to change then font of the SED ([Options][Font]) to arabic to write your string-constants (e.g.: string msg_info_001 = "@'+||XYZ";
but this may result in funny coding (arabic-english)...
Load your strings from an external file may be more usefull.

Thanks. That is what I needed to know.

Actually, I tried what you told me, but I couldn't make any change to the existing fonts or add any new ones. How would I add arabic fonts to SED???

Please let me know.
