Possibility to use languages files from Div2 resources? #35

Hi! I'm Grew from the old Div Game Studio french community. I'm planning to teach my nephew to develop games with Div Game Studio (he has the same age than my when I started, 11 yo :) ). I wonder if there is a way to integrate other languages than english in your Div Game Studio port. I've the french CDs of Div Game Studio 1 & 2, maybe I can try to find languages resources somewhere in the binary? How is the language managed?

I'm a professional developper know, so I can help for this task of course.

Thank you!

Hi Grew! I'm sure I remember you :)

The language files in DIV are easily replaceable from the french CDs. You will need at lease these two files:

https://github.com/DIVGAMES/DIV-Games-Studio/blob/master/system/lenguaje.div

https://github.com/DIVGAMES/DIV-Games-Studio/blob/master/system/lenguaje.int

I'm not sure how many french CDs are still around, it would be great to see one again. I've not seen them for nearly 20 years!

Here is my full Div collection: IMG_20220804_165758 Unfortunately, I just realized that I don't have any CD drives on any of my computers 😅! I'll try to find a CD player to get the french languages files 🤗.
