In this matter of HUD messages I can mention this...

A while back I noted that among the fuel tank damage states the first two are simple leaks (the next two involve smoke and the last two involve smoke/fire.) Those two fuel leak states have differing rates of fuel loss (and the subsequent 4 damage states incur ever increasing rates of fuel loss/consumption in fire.) But the one and same fuel leak effect is used for both states. I therefore created an additional fuel leak effect, for flight and when on the ground, to visually differentiate netween the fuel quantity pouring out. And I created an additional HUD message which differentiates between the light and heavier leak.

With NotePad from/for Windows you can view the text contained in Java code (hash files - files with very strange names).
In the middle of the cabalistic symbols in these files you'll find the “normal” texts.
Look for the “gear” text.
If you have a hexadecimal editor (e.g. HEdit) and respect the string length, you can modify the text.

Thanks! Nice to know!

If I found what lines java codes in this mod uses to show messages to screen, can I add them to hud_log.properties and change their language?
Like example:

Code: [Select]

FailedHydro                     Hydraulics: Leak
??FailedGear??                  Left Gear:  Hydraulic system Failed
??FailedGear2??                 Right Gear:  Hydraulic system Failed

Or is it just written to code as it is and it's impossible to change without your method?

From memory... no.
Because in the code you see a coded sentence, not a variable or constant.

[GeraltNotRivia]

Right!

Time to edit with HexEdit then.

Edit: Done!
