Pointers misalignments in tutorials

[David]

A while ago, the menu icons on the left side of the screen have been redesigned.

I noticed that the tutorials of some of the language versions are still using the display positions of the old icons, thus resulting in misalignments, as you can see in the attached screenshot - the arrows at the top-left are pointing at a wrong position.

To correct the issue, the translation contributors are advised to:
1) test each tutorial in the translated version and check if there are any tutorial steps with the misalignment problems.

2) for those with the problems, please update the translated version of the tutorial text file based on the latest version of the original English tutorial files, which you can find in the latest Capitalism Lab Release version's "tutorial" folder.

For example:

The Chinese tutorial file tut01.txt contains the following text:

[TEXT]
在屏幕左上角的~游戏工具栏~上点击~建造菜单~。

[POS]
Flex Text Box=300,280,400,0
Pointer=31,30,79,58


The original English tutorial file tut01.txt contains the following text:


[TEXT]
Click the ~Build Menu~ icon on the ~Game Tools Menu~ at the top-left of the screen.

[POS]
Flex Text Box=300,280,400,0
Pointer=3,25,52,62

To correct the problem, replace the line "Pointer=31,30,79,58" with "Pointer=3,25,52,62"

Thank you for the information.

I'm just asking; is it possible to automate the selection area with the text?

At the moment, we have to "test" several times if we want the selection to be precise.

Please be informed that this is not possible.

At the moment, we have to "test" several times if we want the selection to be precise.

Basically, you can just copy the text from the English version of the tutorials which has the correct coordinates for the selection area.

For your information, when you need to find out a screen coordinate, you may use an image editor to open a screenshot and move the cursor to the position where you want to get the coordinates. The image editor should show the x and y coordinates of that point that the bottom of the screen.

One image editor that you can download for free is Paint.net: https://www.getpaint.net/download.html
