The default was changed to replace graphics if only known content is affected.
This also required blocking the feature for Hacx, Harmony and Action Doom 2 which have no localization yet and would fall back on Doom's texts if not blocked.
The most important one is the autosave tagging. This was done because the old printout was missing the year and printed the month as a 3 character English string, sabotaging any attempt to sort the autosaves by anything meaningful.
Parts of this menu suffered badly from lack of screen space to convey the intended information due to the oversized fonts. With the new font this is a lot less problematic (unless using 320x200, of course)
Unlike uObjectColor2, this is more global state. uObjectColor2 is part of gradient calculation which may later be offloaded to a secondary buffer which already resulted in only conditionally setting it, resulting in broken special colormap application for the software renderer.
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.
The recent localization work has made it apparent that on many images the menu was extremely hard to read because its colors often clash with the background.
The choice of a bright overlay color with extremely low opacity is simply not enough to make the menus comfortable to navigate. Chex Quest was particularly bad but the problem existed in many Doom mods as well.
This also changes the CQ dim color to something a bit more green to better fit with the theme.
- 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.)
