Using other languages

How can I use the translation files available at pennmush.org with the win32 version? Are there win32 binaries which were compiled for French ?

Also when the MUSH starts, there is an error:
[06/25 01:04:10] Setting ctype locale to French_Switzerland.1252
[06/25 01:04:10] Setting time locale to French_Switzerland.1252
[06/25 01:04:10] Failed to set messages locale from environment.
[06/25 01:04:10] Setting collate locale to French_Switzerland.1252
What does it mean?


Thanks,

I think there was a problem with set_locale and Win32.

You could try compiling yourself using Cygwin, that might work. :)

Thank you for your answer!
I tried to compile with cygwin, but it doesn't work... It returns (after a lot of warnings):

bsd.c:159: warning: `extrafd' defined but not used

and then:

make[1]: *** [bsd.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory

Also, isn't it possible to select a language and compile for it with VC++ ?
I can compile with English (though for some reason the .exe output is far bigger than that given on pennmush.org), but as you say in the readme, the restart script is not taken in account, so how can one choose the language ?

If you do a "debug" build rather than a "release" build the output will be larger than you expect by a factor of 2 or 3.

Yes, it can be compiled in Visual C++, but I don't know about changing the language. In fact, I have never done that, and even if I did wouldn't know how to test it as I use English here. Sorry.

Try contacting the developers at pennmush.org, or logging into M*U*S*H and asking around there.
