A note for French Scenario designers (a detail)

Post by Athos1660 »

When writing the texts of your scenarios in French, be aware that the French langage, the auto-correction of many writing softwares and the auto-correction of MacOS use the curved apostrophe, for example :
"L’ami"
...but FoG2 like other softwares won't recognise it and will display :
"Lami"
... so you have to use the straight apostrophe in your texts and write "L'ami" so the game will display :
"L'ami"
Pour écrire les textes en français de tes scénarios, utilise l'apostrophe droite et non la courbe utilisée par le français et les outils correctifs informatiques, sinon aucune apostrophe n'apparaîtra. C'est un détail mais c'est embêtant un texte sans apostrophe.

It is the same in English.

You should really use a text editor rather than a word processor for editing game text files. The auto-"correction" of ' to the curved apostrophe (which FOG cannot display and simply ignores) by WORD is a pain in the ass.

Always check all your text in game, just in case.
