Description
Installation Instructions
Extract it anywhere. See the readme.txt for instructions.
Great tool, but when the strings jump to over 900 it begins to replace a bunch of new bundled names for creatures, traps or spells. This approach is kinda jank
It keeps the numbers from the .po file in your input. So do not put numbers there that are used strings.
Yes, but since the .po file automatically assigns those numbers to map objectives, a lot of editing afterwork is needed to backtrack and circumvent any dangerous strings. This defeats the convinience factor of the tool, as the effort is comparable to numbering the strings by hand.
Then I think this feedback was meant on one of my other tools that does the auto-numbering. This one only converts .po files, nothing more. Which one are you using, for campaigns or maps?
Oh right, it was another workshop item. At least the header says translation. So my problem is I was using .PO maker for campaigns and the tool jumps from 200 to 900, requiring manual input from this point cause stuff gets overwritten.
So it was this tool: https://keeperfx.net/workshop/item/707/quick-to-pot-to-dat-for-campaigns-and-packs
The hope was of course that you could manage with the base string numbers, but we added new strings since then.
In that other tool, you can edit
\resources\campgn2pot.ps1and search forglobalMessageCounter, and change the number there you would want to use.this is perfect
