G2O Language Support

Gothic 2 Online Scripting API allows to interact with user input by specifying the keyboard layout.
The list of the keyboard layout can be found here. By default, the inital layout is set to english.

Here’s the complete list of scripting functions that are used to work with user input:

• getKeyLayout

• setKeyLayout

• getKeyLetter

It’s also possible to add support for other languages by overloading existing functions and adding a new keyboard support for specific language(s) in squirrel.

Overloading squirrel functions example

local currentLayout = 0
getKeyLayout = function()
{
	return currentLayout
}

local _setKeyLayout = setKeyLayout
setKeyLayout = function(layout)
{
	if (layout < 0 || layout > 4)
		return

	currentLayout = layout
	_setKeyLayout(layout)
}

local _getKeyLetter = getKeyLetter
getKeyLetter = function(key)
{
	if (currentLayout < 4)
		return _getKeyLetter(key)

  // your implementation of key mappings for other langs
  // this example adds another language in id 4,
  // but you can always modify it and add more than one additional lang.
  // Anyway, this is everything that you must do for G2O, to support more keyboard layouts.
