How to change a Russian CD Version into an English

[Overkill]

Last week when I was in Moscow I have bought from 1C the Russian CD version. But I would like to get the option dialogues and menus in English and not in Russian because my Russian is not good enough to understand all this techical words.

 

How I can change that? Is there a download possibillity to download the English files. Or can I abuse the files from the Demo?

Or can I abuse the files from the Demo.

It is the local version. Excuse.

I can't understand the answer. I just asked if I could take some files from the demo version to overwrite the files from the installed Russian CD version to get an english version.

I got a Russian language CD from my brother' russian girlfriend :). What you need to do is to copy from your english downloaded version (or demo?) the file \lomac\FUI\EnglishVersion\UserInterface.cfg to \lomac\FUI\RussianVersion\UserInterface.cfg.

 

Still, there will be problems coz none of the text on screen will be readbale. In mission briefings you will only see questionmarks like this: "??????, ??? ??-34...". I have no sultion for the questionmarks. My Windows version in WindowsXP Pro Dutch. Possibly Windows itself has some effect in the questionamrks.

In an attempt to solve the questionmarks i replaced protect.dll and lockon.exe with those form ym downloaded lo-mac. No use. Then lo-mac does not start at all. My only solution was to remove the CD-version in total and go back to the downloaded lo-mac. Maybe ED could give us some hints on peeps who have both the russian CD and downloaded english version, a fix for the questionmarks?

 

As consolation i do have lo-mac on CD, though :).

The question marks are substitutes for cyrillic characters which aren't in your current (Dutch) code page.

One way to solve this is to install Russian language support on your PC.

 

I also have two versions of LOFC (English downloaded + Russian CDs), and will try to merge them when I have time, probably the last week of July.
