Action 13
Translate GRF-specific strings
Description
Translating regular strings is easy by just overwriting them with an action 4, however this is not possible for translating GRF-specific strings in the D000 or DC00 range of IDs. Instead, these must be translated with this action 13.
Available since 2.6 alpha 1 (r857).
Format
The data looks as follows:
-+<sprite-number> * <length> 13 <feature> <grfid> <num-ent> <offset> <text...>+-
| Element | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|
| <sprite-number> | dec | A sequential sprite number |
| <length> | dec | The total number of bytes in the action |
| 13 | B | Action 13 |
| <grfid> | 4*B | The GRFID of the file whose texts are to be translated |
| <num-ent> | B | Number of strings |
| <offset> | W | First text ID |
| <text...> | S | Zero-terminated strings |
For action 13, <num-ent>, <offset> and <text...> work exactly as for action 4, but the offset may only refer to a text ID in the D000 or DC00 range of IDs.
Action 13 is skipped if the given GRFID cannot be found or if the file is inactive; action 13 generates an error message and disables the current file if it appears before the GRF that it is translating.
