Does anyone have the player.shop table? Just the shop_item table is not enough

@HaveBeen™, i've just post this 2yo quest because we're working on a better solution, based on language files which we'll load over the client. Anyways i like your function but it's overall view inside the locale.lua might be a bit messy with it, at least for me.

Don't know if it works, but it should. you can try it c:

It's shorter

I'll try it later. Wrote this quest 2 years ago and it was working fine. "Never change a running system"

Having the source, there is a sufficient way better than this.

Of course there is but when i made this quest back then, there was no source.

Hey Everyone,

since i'm new here, i want to share my Multi-Language System with you as small "contribution" to this community.

Many private servers still don't have a proper language-system and i thought it might be a good idea to start sharing stuff with you instead of keeping it only for my server.

So let's start

I've written a quest to select your language and called her: changelanguage.quest

quest changelanguage begin
    state start begin
		when login begin
			set_state(change_lang)
      	end
	end

	state change_lang begin
		when letter begin
			send_letter(t('locale.changelanguage.letter'))
		end

	when button or info begin
		local s = 0
		local subset = 1
		while s == 0 or (subset == 1 and s == 6) or (subset == 2 and s == 12) or (subset == 3 and s == 19) or (subset == 4 and s == 22) do
			if s == 0 or (s == 12 and subset == 2) then
				say(t('locale.changelanguage.welcome') .. " " .. pc.get_name() .. " " .. t('locale.changelanguage.msg'))
				subset = 1
				s = select(t('locale.changelanguage.select', 1), t('locale.changelanguage.select', 6), t('locale.changelanguage.select', 3), t('locale.changelanguage.select', 4), t('locale.changelanguage.select', 5), t('locale.main.next'), t('locale.main.cancel'))
			end
			if (s == 6 and subset == 1) or (s == 19 and subset == 3) then
				say(t('locale.changelanguage.welcome') .. " " .. pc.get_name() .. " " .. t('locale.changelanguage.msg'))
				subset = 2
				s = select(t('locale.changelanguage.select', 2), t('locale.changelanguage.select', 7), t('locale.changelanguage.select', 8), t('locale.changelanguage.select', 9), t('locale.changelanguage.select', 14), t('locale.main.next'), t('locale.main.back')) + 5
			end
			if (s == 11 and subset == 2) or (s == 22 and subset == 4) then
				say(t('locale.changelanguage.welcome') .. " " .. pc.get_name() .. " " .. t('locale.changelanguage.msg'))
				subset = 3
				s = select(t('locale.changelanguage.select', 13), t('locale.changelanguage.select', 10), t('locale.changelanguage.select', 20), t('locale.changelanguage.select', 21), t('locale.changelanguage.select', 22), t('locale.main.next'), t('locale.main.back')) + 12
			end
			if s == 18 and subset == 3 then
				say(t('locale.changelanguage.welcome') .. " " .. pc.get_name() .. " " .. t('locale.changelanguage.msg'))
				subset = 4
				s = select(t('locale.changelanguage.select', 23), t('locale.changelanguage.select', 24), t('locale.main.back'), t('locale.main.cancel')) + 19
			end


		end
			if s == 1 then
				set_lang(1)
				say(t('locale.changelanguage.info'))
			elseif s == 2 then
				set_lang(6)
				say(t('locale.changelanguage.info'))
			elseif s == 3 then
				set_lang(3)
				say(t('locale.changelanguage.info'))
			elseif s == 4 then
				set_lang(4)
				say(t('locale.changelanguage.info'))
			elseif s == 5 then
				set_lang(5)
				say(t('locale.changelanguage.info'))

----------------- SUB_SET 2 -------------------------------
			elseif s == 6 then
				set_lang(2)
				say(t('locale.changelanguage.info'))
			elseif s == 7 and subset == 2 then
				set_lang(7)
				say(t('locale.changelanguage.info'))
			elseif s == 8 and subset == 2 then
				set_lang(8)
				say(t('locale.changelanguage.info'))
			elseif s == 9 and subset == 2 then
				set_lang(9)
				say(t('locale.changelanguage.info'))
			elseif s == 10 and subset == 2 then
				set_lang(14)
				say(t('locale.changelanguage.info'))
			elseif s == 14 and subset == 3 then
				set_lang(10)
				say(t('locale.changelanguage.info'))
			elseif s == 13 and subset == 3 then
				set_lang(13)
				say(t('locale.changelanguage.info'))
			elseif s == 15 and subset == 3 then
				set_lang(20)
				say(t('locale.changelanguage.info'))
			elseif s == 16 and subset == 3 then
				set_lang(21)
				say(t('locale.changelanguage.info'))
			elseif s == 17 and subset == 3 then
				set_lang(22)
				say(t('locale.changelanguage.info'))
			elseif s == 20 and subset == 4 then
				set_lang(23)
				say(t('locale.changelanguage.info'))
			elseif s == 21 and subset == 4 then
				set_lang(24)
				say(t('locale.changelanguage.info'))

			end

		end
	end
end

As you can see, it contains many different languages, that's why i left the quest complete and didn't clean it up so you can have a better understanding how it works.

The quest translation, we've added to our locale.lua.

Here a small variable example for the above posted quest, changelanguage.quest:

----- changelanguage.quest -----
locale.changelanguage= {}
locale.changelanguage.select = "English"
locale.changelanguage.welcome = "Welcome" 
locale.changelanguage.msg = ",[ENTER]Please select your language![ENTER]"
locale.changelanguage.letter = "Change Language"
locale.changelanguage.info = "You have successfully changed your language![ENTER]"
-------------------------

and in case you want to add more languages, simple add a small syntax like "_de" ( german) which would look like that:

----- changelanguage.quest -----
locale.changelanguage.select_de = "Deutsch"
locale.changelanguage.welcome_de = "Willkommen" 
locale.changelanguage.msg_de = ",[ENTER]Bitte wähle deine Sprache![ENTER]"
locale.changelanguage.letter_de = "Sprache Ändern"
locale.changelanguage.info_de = "Du hast erfolgreich deine Sprache geändert![ENTER]"
-------------------------

of course it won't work without the actual function which will be added to: questlib.lua

function set_lang(arg)
	local name = string.gsub(pc.get_name(), "[.*](.*)", "%1")
	pc.setf('changelanguage', 'lang_' .. name, arg)
end

and

function t(varname, l)
	local name = string.gsub(pc.get_name(), "[.*](.*)", "%1")
	local line = 0

	line = pc.getf('changelanguage', 'lang_' .. name)

	if not l then 
		l = line
	end

	local lang_suffix = ''

	if l == 1 or l == 0 then
		lang_suffix = ''    -- English (Default)
	elseif l == 2 then
		lang_suffix = '_it' -- Italian
	elseif l == 3 then
		lang_suffix = '_de' -- German
	elseif l == 4 then
		lang_suffix = '_bg' -- Bulgarian
	elseif l == 5 then
		lang_suffix = '_et' -- Estonian
	elseif l == 6 then
		lang_suffix = '_ro' -- Romanian
	elseif l == 7 then
		lang_suffix = '_hr' -- Croatian
	elseif l == 8 then
		lang_suffix = '_cz' -- Czech
	elseif l == 9 then
		lang_suffix = '_pt' -- Portuguese
	elseif l == 10 then
		lang_suffix = '_fr' -- French
	elseif l == 13 then
		lang_suffix = '_lt' -- Lithuanian
	elseif l == 14 then
		lang_suffix = '_hu' -- Hungarian
	elseif l == 20 then
		lang_suffix = '_gr' -- Greek
	elseif l == 21 then
		lang_suffix = '_nl' -- Dutch
	elseif l == 22 then
		lang_suffix = '_pl' -- Polish
	elseif l == 23 then
		lang_suffix = '_se' -- Swedish
	elseif l == 24 then
		lang_suffix = '_mk' -- Macedonian
	end

	s = assert(loadstring( 'return ' ..  varname .. lang_suffix ))
	if not s() or s() == '' then
		s = assert(loadstring( 'return ' ..  varname ))
	end
	if not s() then return "" end
	return(s())
end

And please check if you've set_lang in your quest_functions.

The function inside your quest will be used like that. For example in "say"

say("I <3 Metin2Dev")

would be replaced with

say(t('locale.questname.lovemetin2dev'))

I've created the variables based on their quest name and the part where it's used inside the quest to give it more sense and it will make it easier to read later, ones you've 5k+ lines in your locale

I hope you like it and i looking forward to work with and for you guys

Cheers,
