Non-localized build: Lots of displayed format strings

[1942rob]

like "$c: $s", "$s batter $s for 20 damage", and so on

It appears those printf functions need to be rewritten, or that part of code.

I can't reproduce this, it all works fine for me even with the nonlocalized build. I can't see why it would fail either.

It looks like all the strings that cause problems are the ones with numbered parameters. So for example if you put something in a vehicle's trunk it uses "You put your %1$s in the %2$s's %3$s.", which i assume comes out as "You put your $s in the $s's $s."?

Oh, I think I heard about this somewhere, windows printf implementation not
handling that kind of format string or something.

I've also encountered this problem. Is there any info I could provide which would help?

[kevingranade]

I think we just need to pull the special escaping out of the un-translated strings, since we don't actually need them there.

[yobbobanana]

Alias _() to a function that strips out the 1$, 2$ etc for the nonlocalized build? I think that would work.

Genius!
