Game crashes when entering in the mine (French translation)

[Thib_G]

Hi,
I've played a little, and then I managed to get the french translation (Francais.lang).
I then deleted ~/.frictional and start a new game.
All works in the first two mini-levels, with all strings translated.
However, when I enter in the mine, the game crashes after the short introduction.

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error'
what(): basic_string::resize
/opt/PenumbraEp1/penumbra: line 9: 22218 Abandon ./penumbra.bin "$@"

If I set language to english before entering in the mine, all works fine, but... Instancied object are saved with their english name/description! and I'm not going to switch between french and english all the time...

Any solution?

Can you provide a backtrace of the crash? and attach your hpl.log?
Also, is this a user-contributed translation? or the *official* translation from a Windows boxed set? (So I can test here)

[Thib_G]

Sorry, I didn't manage to get a core.
Here is the hpl.log, although I doubt it's useful.
Yes, I use the *official* translation from a Windows boxed set.

[Thib_G]

No news about it? That's annoying...

Well the hpl.log isn't saying much so no advice to give really. This is not a supported feature by us so it's not really a priority issue, sorry!

[Thib_G]

Here is the backtrace... Not sure it'll help. I'm bzipping the coredump, and see if it's not too big...

Any hope of playing in French one day?

[Urkle]

is that the backtrace from the core dump?
it doesn't provide much useful info. make sure you ran

Code: (Select All)

gdb ./penumbra.bin core.#

Also if you goto the mac support forums there is a "fan made" French tranlation that you can try.

[Thib_G]

Strange, there is a lot more output now... I've probably not loaded penumbra.bin correctly...
Here is a new backtrace, I hope it'll be helpful.

Remove all emphasis from the Francais.lang file and it will work. :-)
