Argent77,
 
in the last version I noticed there must have been a color change for the highlight syntax (?) which makes some of it practically unreadable against the default, light Metal UI.

Syntax Highlighting in the DLG tree view uses the global color scheme for BCS scripts. Since the viewer doesn't update background color it may cause visibility issues (e.g. dark BCS color schemes on light UI schemes). I guess you've selected "Monokai" or another dark color scheme for BCS scripts. Try switching to another scheme and see if it improves the situation (menu Game > Preferences > Text Editor > BCS and BAF). Not all dark color schemes are equally problematic in the DLG tree view.

I'll see if I can improve the situation in the next version.

I don't think there is one. All I could find are references and (non-working) links to version 2 of the mod which is only available in Japanese.

I haven't used Google Translate for a long time since it always produced inaccurate results in the past. DeepL usually provides better translation quality. But even that doesn't always guarantee correct results.

• Added Simplified Chinese translation (thanks Lewis Liu)

• Updated Simplified Chinese translation
• Updated Project Infinity metadata

• Updated French translation (thanks JohnBob)

• Added new level 9 spell "Stabilize" to the Chaos Sorcerer kit and spell scrolls for Wild Mages
• Fixed symbolic spell name references in combat scripts
• Switched to ADD_KIT_EX internally for installing the kit

I could find an older comment with the same error: https://www.gibberli...&comment=182973

According to the comment it seems to be related to TobEx (beta20). That bug may still be present in your TobEx version as well.
