A few questions about addons and interfaces

[Mike_HDF]

Hi, everyone.

I'm a spanish myther who always wanted to have the game in spanish and help someway to get some new gamers around this little wonder.

Finally I translated all the text and string lists of Myth II using Fear. When I left the files in the subdirectory 'local' of the game, even the Controls' form is translated (I mean the keys' names and such) but if I make a plugin, and erase them, this text go back to english.

I know now the only way to translate the main menu is making an interface, and I'm interested about the new addon thing in then last version of the game, but there's no info about it (or I didn't found it).

My questions are:

If I make an addon, is possible to keep the Control's form, for example, translated? It's not vital, but since I already translate it...
And, Oak can be used to make addons and interfaces, right? Can I get access to the beta?

Thanks in advance.

There are many elements within myth that classify as part of the User Interface. Like you mentioned, to make the main menu change and stay changed on startup, you need a custom interface plugin to override the default tags. The text for control bars and various commands would also be included in that Interface local when you build the interface plugin. In doing so, the controls and every other bit of text you changed, should remain changed.

This may be a dumb question on my part, but just to be sure, you're choosing 'build-->interface file' rather than 'build-->plugin file,' right? And then choosing the interface file in the Preferences window in Myth?

PC Fear does not have that option, only Mac Fear does.

Thanks for the answers.

Didn't know that the Mac and Windows versions differ in options.
