Hello everyone,

I'm currently testing the language packs for the final chapter of M:M.

The contents of metastasis_italian\scripts\titles.txt correctly display
in-game instead of metastasis\scripts\titles.txt (when STEAM is set to
Italian).

However, the game refuses to read metastasis_italian\scripts\credits.txt
and stubbornly displays metastasis\scripts\credits.txt

This issue was absent in M:M1 and M:M2.

The current (ugly) hack is to overwrite metastasis\scripts\credits.txt
with the Italian version. However, when the users switch back to STEAM
in English, they'll be stuck with the Italian credits and the rest of
the UI will be back in English.

I suspect that a change between HL2 and EP1 affected the override for
credits.txt and hardcoded the path to mod\scripts\credits.txt

I checked and there are no localized outro credits for EP1. Creating
episodic_italian\scripts\credits.txt doesn't change the issue.

The override still works for titles.txt (both in EP1 and M:M).

Other signs that the override (and localized assets management) is
partially broken:

- in M:M, startup_loading.vtf (Loading...) appears in English whatever
the language version of EP1 I use.
- the engine doesn't create automatically episodic_italian folders in
Steam\steamapps\<user>\half-life 2 episode one\episodic_italian\

In practice, is there anything that can be done to restore the language
specific override for credits.txt or to achieve a similar effect to the
HL2 override?

Cheers,

Piotr Burzykowski
