New Thief Gold subtitles patch (UPDATED)

[Giskard]

Tried to use the hungarian special letters (á, é, í, ó, ö, ő, ú, ü, ű) but cannot use them in the srt and sub files. I can write them in ANSI but how can I convert exactly them into OEM?

[Mixthoor]

- I used ANSI code in sub file with my polish letters (ą,ć,ź etc.).
- All my sub files are in folders .\subtitles\english
- my default game language is english (setting in install.cfg file)

Example below, file TG_EYE.sub

SUB1

{
	TYPE	"convo"
	DESCR	"Eye"
	SUB	"eye01" { TEXT "Przybywa człowiek, by mnie uratować. Biedny człowieku... Opiekunowie zapieczętowali wejście i tylko oni wiedzą, jak można je zerwać. Przejdź przez most do groty z Wartownikiem Strażnika. Stań na piedestale i ogniem rozświetl statuę. Wówczas odkryjesz sekret Talizmanów." }
	SUB	"eye02" { TEXT "Zatem wróciłeś z Talizmanami, zdolny człowieku. Nie myślałem, że Ci się w ogóle powiedzie." }
	SUB	"eye03" { TEXT "Jam... Okiem. Uwięzionym na ołtarzu od wielu lat. Zdołasz mnie zdobyć, czy zawiedziesz po tak długiej podróży?" }
	SUB	"eye04" { TEXT "Doskonale, złodzieju. Czy teraz, gdy już mnie zdobyłeś, umkniesz, zachowując przy tym skórę?" }
	SUB	"eye05" { TEXT "Już opuszczasz to miejsce? Wydaje mi się, że byłoby to zbyt proste. Zapieczętowałem drzwi na nowo. Musisz znaleźć inne wyjście." }
	SUB	"eye06" { TEXT "Dokąd podążasz? Przebyłeś tak długą drogę po to, by porzucić mnie, jak tylko znajdę się w zasięgu Twych rąk?" }
	SUB	"eye07" { TEXT "Biedny Marus. Przez te wszystkie lata wciąż ze mną walczy. Obawiam się, że mógł nieco zwariować." }
	SUB	"eye08" { TEXT "Dzierżysz już swoje cenne Oko. Co zamierzasz ze mną uczynić?" }
	SUB	"eye09" { TEXT "Mistrzu, zważaj! Czegoś brakuje. Mistrzu!" }
}

BTW. I prepared all the sub files on my polish os - windows 7. When I open the files on my german os - windows 7, I DON'T SEE my polish letters.
"SUB "eye01" { TEXT "Przybywa cz³owiek, by mnie uratowaæ. Biedny cz³owieku... Opiekunowie "

Try to do it on your hungarian os. Does it help?

Does this still work on current versions of NewDark, even if it doesn't include most non-English letters ? It could prove pretty useful for my translation project.

Suggestion for your User.cfg:

enable_subtitles
subtitles_extra_time 1000
subtitles_font_dir intrface\
subtitles_font_name fontaa29
subtitles_bg_textwidth
movsubtitles_bg_textwidth
subtitles_color_player 0 255 255
;subtitles_hide_types fx+bark+urgent

I have questions about the two lines for subtitles fonts. What directory is "intrface" and what font is "fontaa29"? Are they internal names used by NewDark and the subtitles? Is there a list of such internal font names? I'd like to see if there is a better-looking font among them. As configured above, the font looks very bad in the game. if I remove the two subtitles_font lines, the font in the game looks much better. Also, is there a way to configure it to use Windows fonts? I tried subtitles_font_dir c:\windows\fonts\ and subtitles_font_name arial but it didn't work.

Does anyone know if there's a way to make the subtitle text smaller in the cutscenes,as in the with NPC dialogue subtitle text in mission?.

Thanks

Generally, changing the font file used should effect the size of displayed subtitles. The lines

subtitles_font_dir intrface\
subtitles_font_name fontaa29

in the example given above set the location (first line) of the font file and its name (second line). The "directory" (or folder) called intrface is usually found as a compressed file called intrface.crf in a subdirectory of the game. The fonts available there are fontaa12, fontaa16, fontaa20, fontaa29, fontaa36, SMALFONT, TEXTFONT, f_scrp12 and f_scrp16. The files have the .fon name extension (fontaa12.fon etc.); whether a .fon file from Windows or another font source would work I cannot say. Some people have already managed to use custom fonts for subtitles in their FMs, though.

However, most likely any changes made will similarly affect movie subtitles as well as in-game subtitles (if made with NewDark's abilities, instead of using an older script-based method commonly used before NewDark). You will have to work out for yourself whether that is OK for you or not.

You may also have a look at the subtitles.txt file in the doc directory inside your game directory to find out some configuration options for subtitle display.

Is anyone using this with TFix 1.27?

I'm using that version, and this mod isn't working. The game won't launch. The executable just eats up over 1gb of memory and remains in the background indefinitely.

EDIT: actually, sometimes it works. I don't know why, but if I try to run the game a few times, it eventually works.
If anyone knows what causes this, please let me know.

[baeuchlein]

It does work for me, but the thief.log file found after starting the game reports an error in the Movies.sub file. However, it seems that the real error is in INTRO.srt, which triggers the error message. If I open INTRO.srt with a text editor (NOT with a Word processor, like the one from MS Office or LibreOffice), move the cursor to the end of the very last line, press ENTER, save the file and use it, the message is not triggered anymore. You can try this and hope it works.

But since the version of this subtitles patch is v0.8 beta, there could be more errors in the files which the game does not notice.

Hello, I'm experiencing an issue with my game—the subtitles are nearly illegible. Even when I switch from 4K to 1440p, the text remains too small. Is there any way to increase their size?

[voodoo47]

yes, edit cam_ext.cfg (notepad or similar), and change this

;d3d_disp_scaled_2d_overlay 64

into this

d3d_disp_scaled_2d_overlay 64

save and exit.
