Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines - change the codepage?

[WaltonSimons]

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.
