Hi,
After I had installed the TT-Patch, the language was changed from German to English. It is not necessarily a bad thing, since I like the English Voices more. But there are certainly many people who wish to keep their Ren's language.

Btw this gives me an idea: How about adding an option in the TT-Patch Installer to change your Renegade-Install to any language (English, German, French, etc)?

Every so often, I get this positive feeling that humanity can somehow, possibly attain pure awesomeness, and enlightenment, and that there is light at the end of the road for us all. However, I only need to go to the latest HUD thread at RenForums to remind me of how dumb I was for thinking such stupid things.

It seems that The First Decade installs with language id 0, which means English, even though the actual language that is installed is German. It seems that it would be better to detect the language based on the files that are found in the Renegade folder. I like the idea of adding an option in the installer to override this too.

How do you know that I have the TFD-Version of Renegade? Yes, I have that one. Smile

Telepathy. Wink

And for the record, the installer will indeed support language changing in the next release. Smile (It will not attempt to determine it automatically based on the files in the Renegade folder because it's likely not worth it to implement that.)

I agree with that.
I'm looking forward to the next installer. Choosing the language is going to be great. Smile

BEFORE installing scripts 4.0 / TT i created a clear, pure 1.037 renegade installation out of TheFirstDecade, german language.

While installing 4.0 it downloaded 500 MB always.dat, because "This Version is not 1.037".

After this, I had english language.

May be, all this stuff was only downloaded, because of the different language??

I wondered why it was necesarry to download 1.037, if it was already installed.....?

I dont wan't to download every installtion 500 MB, takes a while.

It's indeed caused by the different language. TFD sets the language value incorrectly, which is why the installer thinks the files are corrupted and downloads them again.

I'm not sure why it said that you did not have 1.037 installed though. As far as I know that is set correctly by TFD, but maybe not.
