Little Text-BugFIX for Government Descriptions

Post by frankycl »

You might already have noticed that for some descriptions of the government types in the race-generation screens the text doesn't fit properly in the regarding window. It's not much, but sometimes some single letters are missing or some (short) words are cut of in the middle. :|
This little text-mod fixes this, so that all the text can be read without something missing (and according to my tests it works for all interface-sizes and screen-resolutions (at least with a 27" monitor). :mrgreen:

To use it just copy the file in the data folder of the game and replace the old one. (but don't forget to make a backup of the original file somewhere else ;-))

Governments.rar

works with all game-versions including 1.0.2.6 :idea:

here some screens to show you what I mean:

(there should be the Screen for "Republic", too, but this damn message-editor refuses to place it here (for whatever reason :roll: ). :cry: )

Did you already report the bug? You could link this thread in the bug report to help the dev. The dev might not be checking this forum until he finishes the crash/performance reports, but this would be low hanging fruit to throw into the next patch...

Yeah, I will do this, too - here and also in Steam. But I don't think that it's important enough to be adressed, before all technical problems (and/or more severe other bugs) are solved :roll: - so, it'll take some time for them to deal with it, anyway, I guess. :|

Sent the bug and the download-link also to the Devs via their official formula, but I guess you could help them/the other players, too, in testing my fix on some other systems and configurations - and reporting it here, if there are still issues with it. ;)
