Bug#803128: RTCW: the 1.41 patch induce a regression in the French dub

[Alexandre Detiste]

Package: game-data-packager
Version: 42
Severity: minor

Hi,

sp_pak3.pk3 include a new "text/EnglishUSA/escape1.txt"
with a corrected "actvitiy" vs "activity" typo.

This is fine with people playing the English version
and also the German version because the dubbing is implemented
in a different way: sp_pakG.pk3, that is always load last.

But for people playing the French version, they'll
be welcome with a mix & match of English & French text.

Here's a way to manually solve it:

# cd /usr/lib/rtcw/
# unzip sp_pak1.pk3 text/EnglishUSA/escape1.txt
(this is not engouh: it seems engine won't pick bare files)

# zip sp_pak5.pk3 text/ -r
(now it works, this zip weights 1121 bytes)

The Spanish dub is likely also affected.

This could be fixed by a GDP plugin.

Alexandre
