## Texts
|
|
|
|
All texts are stored in the language specific files ```cybstrng.res```, ```frnstrng.res``` and ```gerstrng.res```.
|
|
These files contain 188 resources of type ```0x01```. They are compound with several blocks. Each block contains
|
|
one string, which is always 0x00 terminated.
|
|
|
|
While the English strings may be readable according to standard ASCII, with the French and German options, texts
|
|
need to be interpreted according to the DOS [code page 437](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_437).
|
|
|
|
> Since texts are always presented through the game fonts, any one-byte codepage can be used - As long as the
|
|
> corresponding font bitmaps match for the requested characters (bytes).
|
|
|
|
### Control Characters
|
|
|
|
For texts with multiple lines, ```0x0A``` acts as a newline marker.
|
|
|
|
```0x02``` is a soft-hyphen between syllables. Not all texts contain this character.
|
|
|
