in several new menus I use the StrFormatTime() script function. Since our game server is in German, we would like to use German dates. According to documentation the function should inherit the OS setting, but this does not work.
Example: I use date format string "%A, den %d. %B %Y". This gives <day of week>, den <day>. <monthname> <year>
In German this would be for example Samstag, den 24. Dezember 2011. But despite using a German version of Win XP to test it, it gives the output Saturday, den 24.December 2011.
Possible fix:
Use the function setlocale(LC_ALL, "") somewhere to set the programs locale (from MS documentation, sets the programs locale to the systems locale).
The constant LC_ALL is defined in locale.h, which also is not included.
I tried to include <locale.h> in pol.cpp, around line 60:
Code: Select all
#ifdef _WIN32
#include <process.h>
#include <locale.h>
#endifThen I inserted the call to setlocale() here (pol.cpp, around line 2040 in function xmain_inner):
Code: Select all
int xmain_inner( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
#ifdef _WIN32
MiniDumper::Initialize();
// Aug. 15, 2006 Austin
// Added atexit() call to remove the tray icon.
atexit(ShutdownSystemTrayHandling);
setlocale(LC_ALL,"");
#else
...I do not use the last core version (too much to do, sorry), and therefore did not make a patch for the source. On my machine it compiles with no (additional) errors or warnings (MS Visual C++ Express 2008) and works normally. For Linux/Unix compilation the changes should have no effect, since both are in _WIN32 clauses.
Hope this helps...
