It's a .NET dll. Search for a .NET resource editor (if any). PE Explorer, Resource Hacker, etc. wont do the job.

As much as i see, Zeit2.resources.dll contains only strings. So, you can use Reflector to extract all the strings, translate them to your language, and then recompile new Zeit2.resources.dll with your patched resource.

Thanks man.

I'm searching for way to edit Zeit2.Localisation.Zeit2Strings.es.resources exported from Reflector.

If your know how edit, please, tell me :D

Thank you!

Edit: At that thought, I need resgen.exe program that is included in Visual Studio. The syntax is this:The following command reads a binary resources file myResources.resources and writes an XML-based output file named myResources.resx.

Code: Select all

resgen myResources.resources myResources.resx
Keep trying...

Yep, that's the way.
Then you edit the resx file with notepad and recompile a new DLL using edited resource.

Not recognize the command ... to compile, I am using the syntax:

Code: Select all

"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.20506\vbc.exe"/ target: library Zeit2.resources.vbproj
Am I doing something wrong?

Yes. You are trying to compile the resource file. You must create new project and add this resource file to it. Then compile the project to DLL.

I managed to compile the resources but the game automatically picks up the English language that I discovered what is inside the .exe of the game. I tried the same process to extract and compile, but there are mistakes in doing so in the .exe.
Is there a way to make the game run in another language?
Thanks again.
