Action 13

Translate GRF-specific strings


Translating regular strings is easy by just overwriting them with an action 4, however this is not possible for translating GRF-specific strings in the D000 or DC00 range of IDs. Instead, these must be translated with this action 13.

Available since 2.6 alpha 1 (r857).


The data looks as follows:

Element	Size	Description
<sprite-number>	dec	A sequential sprite number
<length>	dec	The total number of bytes in the action
13	B	Action 13
<grfid>	4*B	The GRFID of the file whose texts are to be translated
<num-ent>	B	Number of strings
<offset>	W	First text ID
<text...>	S	Zero-terminated strings

For action 13, <num-ent>, <offset> and <text...> work exactly as for action 4, but the offset may only refer to a text ID in the D000 or DC00 range of IDs.

Action 13 is skipped if the given GRFID cannot be found or if the file is inactive; action 13 generates an error message and disables the current file if it appears before the GRF that it is translating.
