Featured Changes

Interkarma - Localization Upgrade

Continuing the localization upgrade in 0.15.x, further localization support has been added in 0.15.2. New CSV files have been added to Master Localization CSV Files 0.15.2.zip. For previous localization path notes, see 0.15.1 release.

The following localization support has been added in this release:

• Support larger replacement alphabets. Some alphabets required more characters for writing translations. Increased character support of font replacement atlas to fit approx. 5000 total characters.
• Ingredient/Weapon/Armor format strings can now be localized using ingredientFormatString, longWeaponNameFormatString, longArmorNameFormatString in Internal_Strings.csv.
• Remaining settings text (e.g. slider control values) now in Internal_Settings.csv.
• Spell names now in Internal_Spells.csv.
• Item template names now in Internal_Items.csv.
• Artifact and magic item template names now in Internal_MagicItems.csv.
• Faction names now in Internal_Factions.csv.
• Attribute ratings (e.g. "very strong", "cunning") now in Internal_Strings.csv.

Note On Text Caching

When localizing Daggerfall Unity, some text data is cached in various places and may still display in default English even though you've translated properly. Below are the main cases you will encounter this during translation, and some tips to work around.

• Item and spell names already in saves. Any spells and items already instantiated and present in player's save data will not be localized. Player may set custom names for their created spells and items, so this cannot be changed without potentially overwriting player's custom names. New spells and items created from template will be created using localized template names.
• Names of discovered buildings. When changing faction names impacting buildings (e.g. translating "The Mages Guild"), any buildings already discovered by player will have their names cached to DiscoveryData.txt in player save. Use console command "refresh_buildingnames" to reset all building names in discovery data at current location. Delete file DiscoveryData.txt from save to reset this globally. Note the latter will clear all player discovery state.
• Rumours involving factions. Some rumours involving factions (e.g. Faction X is now at war with Faction Y) are pre-expanded and cached to ConversationData.txt in player save. To workaround, travel for over 38 days to cycle in fresh rumours or delete ConversationData.txt from save.
• Names in active quests. Names and locations in active quests will not be localized until quest ends and recompiles. Use console command "purgeallquests" or delete QuestData.txt from save to clear all quests. Then restart quest using localized version.
