Could you split the Who's on First list into two lists of 28 entries each? (These lists are allowed to share some words).

As it's quite hard to implement morse code and password module in Chinese.

Are there commonly known Romanization systems, that could be used for passwords?

AFAIK, there are systems that map ideographs to sequences of three letters each, but it would probably be a bad idea.

Also I've made an LCD font specifically for displaying those characters. Type the following for the text:

ABCDE FGH (Vent gas? Y/N)
ABCDIJKLM (Venting prevents explosions)
NOAB (Venting complete)
PLE FGH (Detonate? Y/N)

There are four-character idioms in Chinese, I don't know if they are suitable on password module or not.

In the morse code, we use a four-degit code to form a single character, I think it can be used on mouse code module.

Hey, for Who's on First, I have another set of *extremely* confusing words. Hopefully that's useful :)

The only concern are those 4-6 character words. Also, the spaces in "  ", "吓  問號", "係唔  係唔係", "係唔係  唔係" and "係  唔係唔係" are intentional.


EDIT: removed bad words

That's evil, but I think it is not suitable to contain some bad words like "路姆西" or "老母西".

Well... they are too long... we might reduce the font size for the cost of readability. But the Chinese letters already have thinner strokes than the Latin characters of the same font size.
Please have a look >>here<<[web.personal-webspace.de]. The original font size is 47 (buttons on the right), but with another font.
Is it necessary to have both space characters or would it work with 1 space character, too? If not, what about one and a half? The shorter the expression gets, the larger can the font be, and larger font means better readibility. Whould splitting the buttons into two lines be an option?

it would work with 1 space of course, i thought it would collapse if i use only 1

Okay, that should help with the display words. Now the button words... would splitting these into two lines be an option or does this look odd to you?

oops, finally back

splitting into two lines feels awkward, i prefer size 35 in your screenshot, its looks perfectly fine

Hi folks,
after having finished all the modules I can finally continue working on the missing languages.

I think my last screenshot has not explaned the problem very good, because it was a shot from the editor with a camera distance that does not occur in the game (unless you install the camera zoom mod). Here is a second one (which is kind of the worst case sceario) made from within the game, in the common laptop resolution of 1440 x 900 and with the camera in a slight angle instead of facing straight to the module: >>screenshot<<[web.personal-webspace.de]. The font size is 35. As you can see this is still too big for some words, while we are at the edge of readability. I would suggest moving the words 私人個私 to 私引個私 into the display list (we have a little bit more space here), so we do not have to go smaller than 35.
