StarCraft Language Change

Post by WedgeAntilles »

Ok, this may sound strange, but I accidently changed the language in StarCraft to Portuguese. This is what happened:
I had downloaded TblPad, and I was trying it out for the first time. After reading how to work it, I went to WinMPQ, opened patch_rt.mpq and found rez\stat_txt.tbl. Though I didn't think it strange then, there were about 6-8 rez\stat_txt.tbl files, all exactly the same. I selected all of them and extracted them to my modding folder. Then I ran TblPad and opened the extracted file (note that I only found 1 stat_txt.tbl in the destination folder). All of the files were in Portuguese.
I went back to WinMPQ, selected the rez\stat_txt.tbl's, and changed the Locale ID to 0. I then extracted them again, and when I opened the file in TblPad, it was in English.
Awhile later, I ran StarEdit, and when I expanded the unit selection thing in the left pane, all the unit names were in Porteguese. Nothing else in StarEdit was in Portuguese that I could see, it was just the unit names and the folders like 'ground unit' and 'air units'.
When I went back to patch_rt.mpq, I could only find 1 rez\stat_txt.tbl. I tried changing its Locale ID to 0, but nothing happened.

How do I get StarCraft back to English?

The local ID of the tbl files determines their language. Take the ones from the local ID of 0. Don't change the local ids around, just take the original 0's. In fact, you shouldn't be changing any files or any id's in the default mpqs, anyway.

Looks like you'll need to reinstall.

Also, I'm moving this to the Starcraft section.

Thanks. I reinstalled and StarCraft is no longer in Portuguese.

This actually turned out for the better, as I saved all my stuff in StarCraft, and that prompted me to finish something I should have had done.
