Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines - change the codepage?
 

Hi. I've been playing Vampire TMB for some time now (VTMB + 6.5 patch + quake_ger's fixed EXE). Thing is, I want to translate the text. To Polish. And I need some help here... The fonts don't display properly, I mean Polish-specific ones. What needs to be done, well, I guess the codepage neeeds to be changed.

Unicode would be the best bet, or that Polish codepage. Thing is Unicode would be more universal, it would also help others :)

Anyone could help?

Can you post a screenshot about how Polish characters look like in the game? Have you checked translation infos on the (unofficial) support site? Try a professional text editor such as EditPlus+ or UltraEdit.

Or try the built-in text editor of the current 2.0 alphas of the wonderful Far Manager (http://www.farmanager.com ): it supports dozens of code pages as well as Unicode, UTF-7 and UTF-8. Make sure to set the console font to one that contains all kinds of national characters: Fixedsys Excelsior (http://www.fixedsysexcelsior.com ) is great when configured in ConEmu (http://code.google.com/p/conemu-maximus5/ ).

By the way, the latest (unofficial) patch I could find is 6.3, not 6.5: http://dlh.net/cgi-bin/dlp.cgi?lang=...p63.exe&ref=ps

Right, 6.3, that's a typo :) Okay, I'll try to follow your instructions, thanks. I'll report back with the results.
