City names without Caps?

[ShadowBlazer01]

Hello, people:

I'm trying to make an addition to SCS's original Europe map and I've just begun experimenting with cities and definitions. The thing is that, when I place the "city" object in the map, the name of the city appears without a single capital letter. Id est, if I call the city "Amiens", the name that pops out in the GPS map is "amiens", if it's supposed to be called "La Spezia", then it shows "la_spezia".

Seeing this, I know it's associated with city_name_localized line into a city definition file:

Code: Select all

city_name_localized: "@@la_spezia@@"

(My city def file is called laspezia.dlc_it.sui)

I created the locale folder, with individual folders inside for every single language implemented into the game, and the local_module.mymap.sii files inside all of them. The content of the .sii local file is as it follows:

Code: Select all

SiiNunit
{
	localization_db : .localization
	{
		key[]: "la_spezia"
		val[]: "La Spezia"
	}
}

I then compressed that locale folder into a zip and the file lies along with def and map zips into the mod folder.

P.D. La Spezia was just an example of a city name with more than one word, I'm actually creating another city, but it'll do

City names are always shown in lower case in the map editor. Only in-game will they have capital letters.

Make sure you load your localisations mod above the map. Try using -force_mods if you need to.

One question then.

Why is it that when I choose a City object (Let's say, Naples) and I show it in the UI map, the name "Nápoles" is displayed?

Since SCS Software has added game localisation for the cities and countries, the player could see the country and city names in the different language, other than original, depending on the selected language of a user. For e.g. if a Spanish players selects this language in the ETS2, the game will replace original city and country names to the ones that are used in Spain, such as Nápoles for the Italian city of Naples, or Alemania instead of Germany.

Does that mean that only cities that belong to the base game or dlcs will appear with localized names in the editor?

That is correct, unless you use -force_mods in the startup options line.

Weird, I have my executable with these properties:

Execute at: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Euro Truck Simulator 2\bin\win_x64\eurotrucks2.exe" -edit mymap -force_mods
