The fragment shaders' discard compiles to OpDemoteToHelperInvocation, which requires the Vulkan 1.3 feature shaderDemoteToHelperInvocation. The device did not enable it, so the validation layer reported it and the graphics tests that count validation messages (TexDecode, GfxMisc) failed. It is a core 1.3 feature, which the renderer already requires. The test fixture also set the deprecated VK_LAYER_ENABLES, which the layer reports as a message of its own; use VK_LAYER_VALIDATE_SYNC instead.

Game text can come from JSON files, with the disc's own message files as the
fallback, and message text can be drawn from a TrueType font so it is sharp at
any window size. Nothing from the disc is added to the repository.
- The files are laid out as Minecraft's language files are: one flat JSON file
per language (en_gb.json, fr_fr.json...), each a "dotted.key": "text" object
with the same keys in every language. A key is the message file's key (its
path with the language and the .mes taken out, slashes made dots) and the
message id: "dun.script.d01.d01.12".
- localize.{hpp,cpp} reads <exe>/lang and <save>/lang and lays the text over a
message file as the game loads it (LoadFile2, LoadFileBG and the pack lookup
GetPackFile). A missing message, file, bad JSON or a text that does not fit
keeps the disc's text and says so once on stderr. patches/*.json make small
edits to the disc's text (replace pairs, or whole text, guarded by a hash).
- darkcloud --export-text DIR, run once automatically for a save folder with
no export, writes one file per language from the user's own data (855
message files on the PAL disc, each reading back to the disc's codes), and
the hashes patches check. The export is gitignored.
- The Options screen's own words are looked up by key too
(options.<setting>.label, .help, .choice.<n>, options.page.<name>), with the
English in the code as the fallback; port/lang/ ships French, German,
Italian and Spanish for them, copied beside the executable by the build.
- lang/font.ttf draws message text with stb_truetype at the screen's
resolution, in the game's own cells; letters the font lacks (accents,
cedilla, inverted marks, oe) are built from the font's own glyphs.
- A Language row on the Game page and game.language in config.json skip the
start-up language screen; changing it reloads the town or title once Options
closes so images, menus and messages all change together.
- scripts/port/compare_text.py compares the languages message by message.
- docs/LOCALIZATION.md describes the formats and limits.
Japanese is not decoded: its text is glyph indices into the game's own font,
so ja_jp.json keeps them as {N} codes, which still round-trip.
