CM93 Chart detail?

[boraxtr]

I changed the rgb numbers at s57chartsymbols.xml data/ file (OCPN 3.1.919) as
LANDA 255 224 183
NODTA 225 224 222
DEPDW 255 249 245
LANDF 255 200 125
CHBRN 226 192 156
but the colours of the map did not change, all are the same.

1. Check your log file. It will tell you which chartsymbols.xml file is loaded. You might have several copies.

2. Check that you are editing the right color table. You want <color-table name="DAY_BRIGHT">.

Hi Jesper, Nothing changed after edited the <color-table name="DAY_BRIGHT"> . log file attached.

[JesperWe]

So is it the C:\Program Files\OpenCPN\s57data\chartsymbols.xml file you are editing?

[boraxtr]

Yes Jesper, it is the edited file. However I think I was wrong. After reinstalled the 3.02+3.1.919 and used the edited file, I found the swedish look colors.
Thank you for your kind interest.

Hello, would it be possible to get the "åäö" windows patch for 3.2?
I'm allready using the swedish style charts and like them alot!

The Swedish "åäö/ÅÄÖ" hack is fascinating. Where did you do it? could you share some code? I can't say I'm a developer but can manage some of it.
And for further development it would be a challenge to surpass MaxSea or who ever did the CM93s. They have actually distroyed the Swedish originates by not include the native char sets. If we, OCPN, can fix that back it would be outstanding. This is actually valid for the whole Scandinavian and more countries as well.
The hack is nice but in its extension a bit dangerous. Not valid program files can start to drift around and cause jumble. The ultimate solution would be user interface settings to activate different char-pair translations like Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and so on. Would that be a possible challenge to code?
I'm note the coder to do it but I could facilitate to make the chars translation tables.

Comments? views?
Thanks

I hope that a solution can be made to handle åäö for us in the world that use this odd things
To put back Scandinavian, or other, missing chart info in cm93 is a very good thing and will solve the problems with cm93 that for every update loose more and more details. I really support this thinking

Hi
Jesper or anyone a little help please. Ill try to make CM93 to view Swedish chars as described above. But my lack of experience won't let me find the place were the text is coming in. There's a lot of text handling in <s52plib.cpp> but I can't find the text str itself. A code extract from when this was done previously would be of great help, wheel reinvent and so on. Or just a hint of where the strings are printed to screen.

You can start with Jespers old patch. It needs developing, as it does not work, as is, on 3.2.

Thomas..
Very good, many thanks for your support. That's for sure a good start. Exactly what I wanted.
