[01:46] <grogbot> [discord] <codengine_de> @yuv422 I wrote a converter for the sprites and it looks correct to me. I also looked at the .NSP implementation.
[01:46] <grogbot> [discord] <codengine_de> Judging by the font file, the last 24 sprites are empty and could be used for custom characters in theory

[07:06] <grogbot> [discord] <yuv422> Would 24 be enough for your needs?

[07:23] Nick change: DominusExult -> Dominus
[07:47] <grogbot> [discord] <codengine_de> Yeah, we only have 3 Uppercase Umlauts + 1 Special Character in German. I believe that would be enough for other languages as well.
[07:47] <grogbot> [discord] <codengine_de> So if you could provide me with info how we should map the upper 24 characters in code we can actually start to use it 🙂 (I saw the code but it was late already)
[07:48] <grogbot> [discord] <codengine_de> Eg "the dollar sign is mapped to character 85 in the font" - sth like this

[09:00] <grib> Dark Seed for Amiga included support for accented Latin letters (a subset of ISO-8859-1) in its main text font.
[09:00] <grib> Dark Seed for Macintosh also supports letters beyond ASCII - even the English version includes some right-single-quote marks instead of the ASCII straight-apostrophe.
[09:01] <grib> (the Macintosh uses the platform-standard "MacRoman" encoding)

[09:31] <grib> Dark Seed for Amiga had English, German, French, Spanish versions and as far as I know they all used the same character mapping, and used language-appropriate accent marks.
[09:32] <grib> Here's a decoded PNG version of the Amiga "I1" file (the light-world inventory-and-font image) from the English demo disk: https://gribbet.neocities.org/darkseed/ds-amiga-i1-demo-inventory-font.png
[09:52] <grogbot> [discord] <yuv422> If we can standardise the layout that would be great.
[09:53] <grogbot> [discord] <yuv422> I can just put in the mappings then based on iso encoding
[09:53] <grogbot> [discord] <dr_voideater> that's very interesting, I fell through several times and it was still there, thank you for checking, I appreciate you taking the time
[09:53] <grogbot> [discord] <dr_voideater> will attempt this several times
[10:14] <grogbot> [discord] <dr_voideater> I finally got it to work, thank you so much!

[16:32] <grib> If ScummVM's Dark Seed engine had a game option to use replacement TrueType-style fonts instead of the included TOSFONT.NSP images, and another game option to use a replacement translation file instead of TOSTEXT.BIN, then the new translations could be in any convenient modern format (like the UTF-8 gettext "po" files that translators use to translate ScummVM itself).
[16:32] <grib> It looks like ScummVM's AGS engine allows users to select "TRA" translation files. What do other engines do to support fan translations?
[16:55] <grogbot> [discord] <codengine_de> Usually, they don't. In case of SCI you can achieve that with patches but aside from that, it's rather rare
[16:56] <grogbot> [discord] <codengine_de> I'd also propose to not add too much custom code for that specific game, I am personally fine with sticking to the original resource formats even if it means it's less convenient
[16:57] <grogbot> [discord] <codengine_de> Those TRA files also have to be compiled against the games EXE file which is not that convenient
