Space between trainer name and point

[Davenzo]

i have set:

def fullname
return _INTL("{1} {2} {3}",@name,",",self.trainerTypeName)
end

between the tranier's name and the point but a space remains.

Now TrainerName , TrainerClass wants to fight with the space between the trainer name and the point appears but i need "TrainerName, TrainerClass wants to fight" Appears, for the translation of my language.

how can i adjust that ?

You what?

So you want it to say;

"Bob, BugCatcher wants to fight."?

 

[Maruno]

The obvious thing is to use this:

def fullname
  return _INTL("{1}, {2}",@name,self.trainerTypeName)
end

You were making things more complicated than they need to be.

That's if you're hard-coding all the language changes, though (i.e. you only want one language in your game). You haven't explained exactly what you want.

Yes, i want it to say that.

def fullname
  return _INTL("{1}, {2}",@name,self.trainerTypeName)
end

Oh, sorry, my problem was how to show the TrainerName, a point and the TrainerType.
Your code works, thanks for that.

But now i have another question:
Can i make a game with more languages? if yes, how could i do?
Thanks for your help.

LOL, i'm sorry, i didn't see that page.

now, i have read it, but i have a problem, i want to show the language option only one time at the beginning (i want to save this choice) before the intro scene and make this option available in the options menu, is it possible ?

 

[Maruno]

You can add the ability to change the language to the Options screen, although it's slightly hacky. The code would probably be this (untested):

EnumOption.new(_INTL("Font Style"),[_INTL("English"),_INTL("Deutsch")],
   proc { $PokemonSystem.language },
   proc {|value|  
      $PokemonSystem.language=value
      pbLoadMessages("Data/"+LANGUAGES[$PokemonSystem.language][1])
   }
),

I say "hacky" because you'd have to manually list the languages here as well as in the array in Settings (make sure they match up). Note that you can probably only get about 3 languages listed before you run out of space.

You'd still also be able to change the language in the Continue/New Game screen, and that's the only time outside of the Options screen you'd be able to change it.

if i wanted to set the language choice option before the launch of the game and set a switch so that it wouldnt be repeated after the choice , would it be possible ? i dont understand how to do it.

Edit: i have tested the code and if i try to change language or if i try to change any options this error message appears:

You haven't put any languages into the LANGUAGES array in the script section Settings. Go do that - I said to make sure it matches up with the languages mentioned in my code.

 

[Davenzo]

This is my Languages array:

LANGUAGES = [
# ["English","english.dat"],
# ["Deutsch","deutsch.dat"]
]

I have the same error.

 

[Maruno]

Anything after a # in a line is ignored, because it's a comment. Those comments are there as examples, but aren't doing anything right now. You need to delete those #s and then there'll be multiple languages defined.

 

[Davenzo]

Oh great, it works, now the last problem:
If i wanted to set the language choice option before the launch of the game and set a switch so that it wouldnt be repeated after the choice , would it be possible ?

 

[Maruno]

There's really no reason to bother doing that. It may be possible, but I don't see the point in figuring out how. All you're doing is reducing the opportunities for the player to change the language, and I don't know why you would want to do that.

 

[Davenzo]

Because when the game starts only the main language is loading and all non-english people read in english and they might not know english well.
