The old version did not do this. Can you please have a look into this issue?

Thanks!

If it's like v1.0 there are German dials in a separate folder. Read the docs

could you show me a diff of your menu file against the original one?
i've got the german menue file so it'll be much more difficult to figure out what you've modified :)

i'd even send you the german file (modified) then so you can include it into the next release ;)

once again, I made a slight error! Yes, I've forced you into English by using only the English version of the menu file. If you can send me the German one I'll use BUT I'll need someone to translate some items to German that I added.

no problem! thats why i was asking for a diff so that i'll be able to send you the german file including your changes and of course translated as well.
i guess ultraedit has a tool to make diffs otherwise i'm not sure how to do it in windows :D

if you can send me the German one with my inclusions already translated to German that would be great! I'll include you in the making of the mod also

You guys are great. Thanks for all your efforts and your great work making sort of a sim out of this game. I wish I'd be able to help you, but I'm not a modder or programmer. Cheers mates!

just found http://winmerge.org/ it'll be really easy if you compare your file against the original one and paste it at http://dpaste.com or so

ok.. here we go! http://qasl.de/~idl0r/SH5/menu.german
thats the whole german menu file including your parts.
translation should be correct and i'll hope that there won't be any problems with the encoding due to german umlauts :)

If you are using the German version of the game see post #1 for an update to get your German text back. It's located under the EDIT:

Note that it is possible to port in the entire interface, page by page. For example, here's how the ENTIRE periscope screen of SH4 (with Kiub) looks when loaded into the Editor:



However this is a very dirty method that will result in ugly ItemID's. I'm still trying to find an easy and safe method to do this. And don't forget that most items no longer work as they did (for example we now have new torpedo buttons and we no long have the show/hide panel handles).

If it comes to pass that this makes it's way into a working mod... I'll have to take a shower!!!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you guys!
