do you know if windows notepad saves the files in a particular encoding? or is the same as the one windows are using so if I send the translation to other people it will not be messed up
edit 1 looks like windows notepad are saving in ansi. well whatever encoding I save in notepad++ stays there so there is no reason to worry about, now start translating the game files

the modmanager just loads the mod in a safe way, nothing else.

fon have to match the encoding of the text I want to translate
yes, that should be correct. as long as ALL your translated string files use the same encoding, and the bmps are modified to display that ONE encoding properly, everything should work as far as I can tell.
rcs and german can be ignored, if I remember correctly.

I have checked the bmps you have posted earlier, and you have changed their mode from indexed to RGB. that will not work, you have to keep them indexed.
dimmed is used on log text you have already read.

I think it is been at least 4/5 days that I am into this. I am almost finishing the translation. I was thinking in maybe take the mod that makes everything in hd and translate the images from there so in the game they appear with more quality but this of course will be another time first of all just translate the txt.

well when I think the problems are over, now the thieffon says that the format type is wrong X/ "unsupported format type"
oh man what have I done to deserve this?
the file colors are indexed as you told me to change and I am just exporting without marking any option.

Do I need to change any option when converting to indexed or just leave as it is and press "convert".?

you shouldn't have changed the image mode in the first place. no idea whether it's possible to properly change it back to indexed once it's set to RGB - you may have to start all over again from an unbroken, indexed bmp.
copy pasting the content of the broken bmp into a working indexed bmp should also work - that's what I did when fixing the bmps you've posted earlier.

the original bmps from the first post are set to indexed, so if you have started from that, you must have accidentally changed it somewhere along the way.

nope - if some character is missing, you will have to create it yourself.

Working on the German translation again. I must have been drunk while converting the older SHTUP ASCII fonts to OEM-850 because some of the characters are just wrong - which you mostly don't notice because they don't appear in the German version of the game.
Ahem, anyway: Based on the first post, SCP, and my own work, this is what I think we currently have, correct me if I'm wrong:
* modern SHTUP-iified fonts which are (extended) US-ASCII only
* SHTUP-iified fonts (circa 2013) for OEM-850, with some non-German or atypical characters being missing or wrong
* ISO-8859-1 fonts which have not been cleaned up properly and contain some actual characters in places where ISO-8859-1 is empty or would contain control characters if extended with ISO 6429 (or some rarely used characters if switching to windows-1252). Notably, Czech, Turkish and Hungarian support is lacking and the fonts have not been SHTUP-ified.
* Czech fonts by voodoo47 which I think use windows-1250 and were adapted from the ISO fonts (so not SHTUP-ified)
* Russian fonts (
https://github.com/BroFox86/ss2-rus
) which are completely custom using an unknown codepage and even a different character height/width. They're a bit broken in some instances (e.g. the circumflex "^" is displayed as-is instead of using the lightning bolt glyph) but fit a lot more text on screen without being illegible, which is rather neat.
Does someone have a secret stash of SHTUP-ified Latin1 fonts lying around? Would be cool to at some point have an easy to use, complete set of characters, e.g. Latin1+Latin2. UTF8 is out of the question unless a magic fairy would at some point implement TTF support in NewDark.

this
is probably going to be useful, should prevent you from doing that I have done when working on the CZ fonts (and that is, constructing each letter pixel by pixel. that was.. not fun. also, I've made all the fonts sharp iirc, so if someone would want the smooth ones in a translation, then forking the CZ fonts is probably not a good idea). very sure they are not SHTUPified, but I'm not touching them again unless there is a Schwerer Gustav size gun pointed to my head.
