The file renames “enu” to “default” for consistency and only contains languages that are complete/up to date, i.e. American English, British English, German, Castilian Spanish, Latin American Spanish, French, and Russian. Italian, while not 100% complete, contains a full engine translation, so it has enough material to make it here.
The current menu system simply does not work that well with 320x200, rendering the game hard to use at that tiny screen size. This is a clear case where the work required to keep it operational stands in no relation to the benefit.
There are two options here - one only disables the vertical thrust and the other goes back fully to the original non-z-aware code.
Both options are settable through MAPINFO.
For the compatibility presets, the normal ones only disable the vertical thrust, the strict ones force use of the old code entirely.
This option value is used for 4 different options, and splitting it up into three will allow for languages based on grammatical gender systems to have different endings. Necessary for e.g. Russian in order to sound correctly.
The corresponding strings are already in the language spreadsheet.
- moved language entry up a bit in the menu
- converted the language entry into a proper CVAR string list selection, instead of a separate menu with said list.
Now a localization mod can disable the graphics patches containing text entirely so that it can properly localize the text based menu variant.
If this flag gets set in MAPINFO, it will override all user settings.
In this menu, all languages supported by GZDoom are selectable with one simple click! Credits to @PROPHESSOR for making it!
(This only edits the English and French languages because they are the only languages currently up to date with GZDoom’s development. A Russian translation will follow suit at a later date.)
* added a CVAR that sets how localizable graphics need to be dealt with.
* pass the substitution string to OkForLocalization so that proper checks can be performed.
* increased item spacing on Doom's list menus to 18 from 16 pixels, because otherwise the diacritic letters would not fit. 20 would have been more ideal but 18 was the limit without compromising its visual style
* added a second text-only main menu because here the spacing cannot be changed. Doing so would render any single-patch main menu non-functional. So here the rules are that if substitution takes place, it will swap out the entire menu class.
* fixed some issues with the summary screen's "entering" and "finished" graphics.
