Self compiled 0.111.3 crashes when language "german" ist set (Linux x86_64)

[vrm]

Trying to write a .ebuild-file (package) for gentoo-linux for version 111.3 simutrans crashes with the following message (reproducible, always) after i select German as language. (sources from sourceforge, pak64 from sourceforge)

.....
Calculating textures ...done
Creating cities ...
*** invalid %N$ use detected ***

Trying pak128.Britain, result: some minutes running, sudden crash, same message. Deleting simconf.tab, then choosing English as language, everything (pak64 and pak128.Britain) runs perfectly..

Tried nightly build r5788, everything runs fine, no difference between selected languages. To get my ebuild running: Which files do i have to patch in vanilla 111.3 to get it running?

BTW my config.default is attached.

TIA

This sounds like an error in the German translation file. Choose English as in-game language, or download de.tab from

http://simutrans-germany.com/translator/data/tab/0/de.tab

and put it in simutrans/text/, or try the file text/de.tab from an older version

Sounds a bit like this:

The cause seems to be the same "class" of problem (sprintf parameter ordering), so I'd check translations instead of code.

edit: Argh, too slow!

download de.tab from http://simutrans-germany.com/translator/data/tab/0/de.tab

On a first glance, that did that trick ... Thanks.

The Croatian translation also had a faulty entry.

Please try out r5801.

Now simutrans should check whether translated strings and their format specifiers match the expectations of the program. It ignores cases, where the master string does not contain any format specifiers (WAGGON_INFO, 1extern etc). With the patch, I found three malformed strings (the English aircraft record string, German monument erection string, and a Croation AI-related one).

Please try out r5801.

Sorry for answering so late, ....

It works, thanks.

But to create an so called 'ebuild' (package) for gentoo linux, i need to know which file in the 113-1 source code (or the translation-files) to patch to get rid of this problem, because gentoo's way of installing is compiling

Thanks in advance.

You might want to check the difference between r5800 and r5804. These are the changes:

You also need up-to-date translation files (the files text/*.tab in the nightly archives)
