Description

From the author, in the original language.

IMPORTANT : I'm working on a better version that doesn't break every update, it's just that it's a LOT longer

PS : CURRENTLY HEROES DESC STILL IN CHINESE IM FIXING IT


Turn Deadlock into Chinese one without compromising the understandability of items and capacities

DL Instructions : 

Step 1: -go to your steam librairy -Right Click Deadlock

-Manage

-Browse Local Files

Step 2 : -go into the folder "game"

-then "citadel"

-then "resource"

Step 3 :
-Extract and replace the "localization" folder (don't worry i've made backup of it)

Step 4 :
-Launch Deadlock

-Go  to settings

-Language

-Set the language to Simplified Chinese

Step 5 : Re-launch and enjoy

EDIT
: You'll kinda need to do that again on every update, which kinda sucks, soooo I'm working on finding a way to do it automatically or to only the things changed in it to replace just what's needed if I made myself clear

TO DO : autoexec-ish kind of thing to auto replace files / create vers. that only replaces what's needed to be replaced

Edit 2 : You don't need to each time manually replace the file, the VPK is working so now i'm working on only adding a text layer over the original .txt file so it'd be something like keeping the whole original schinese.txt intact so if anything is added in an update you will still be able to see it while having the english text for the abilities and items
