Thank you MrRichard999. I know many gamer will appreciate this. the publisher should pay you seriously.

[MrRichard999]

Thanks :D Until we break the encoded text in LD 1 & 2, unfortunately those patches are as far as I can go at the moment but LD3 we got 90 pages of text dumped and I am currently working on the graphics. I hope to have a beta released within the week so people can at least enjoy the basics of the game and also take advantage of the campaign creator which is now all in English! :D I'll have some better news posted soon when I complete all the menu graphics.

Also the game is currently on sale too for those who dont own it

Is there any way by which we can change resolution/window size, at least in the first game? I went looking for a config file/.ini, but I'm not finding anything that lets me alter how large the window is. What I've seen so far is great though, really happy to see folks translating something like this!

[MrRichard999]

I'll have to look into that. It may break the game though :P I'll see what I can dig up but I got a feeling it wont work with LD1 & LD2 seeing how its kinda pre-bordered. Might work for LD3.

[BONKERS]

Could you simply not run it at full screen low resolution which the game expects and let your monitor upscale it?

[Diet Sausage]

I managed to get it in fullscreen using the Borderless Gaming program. As far as I can tell it all works as it should, but if anything comes up I'll post it.

Edit: Spoke too soon :/. Once I leave town, none of the options respond. I can right click to bring up a menu, but the pointer doesn't highlight anything.

@Bonkers

The problem with upscaling is that I can't actually match the resolution of the window. My display only goes down to 1024x768, which is still significantly larger than the window. The game is seemingly incapable of being run in fullscreen mode.

[MrRichard999]

Good news! Helly is currently working on translating the HTML based manual so that should help for those playing all 3 games! Will update this forum once it is all done :D
