Translating SFS for English

[Flint]

On the English forums ask the English version of addon. We not against, however much we not have free people for this purpose presently.

For a translation it is necessary 1-3 translators which well know
the English and Russian languages.
Persons interested to take part in a translation bequeathed in a theme.

Я типа уже перевожу...Ой то есть....I'm interpreter. I have already translated 6 dialogs... and it's not end.

Hi, it is me, Thomas the Terror, creator of the pink (cutter) and other mods. I have registered here to contact this community directer.
I have downloaded the mod, and have translated a lot of stuff, here is my list:
-

[Thomas the Terror]

-Stock game dialogs
-Stock game INI files (all)
- New part of the mainquest dialogs (soldiers, man in prison, sailors) + questbook
- officer dialog
- Priest dialog
- rapers dialogs

Things I need to do:
- ALL the dialogs of the quest of William Milds
- dialogs of man/woman: england, holland, france, spain

(PS, how is the armour mod going, and what mods of mine are you going to implent?)

[Kopcap]

very good! glad to see you in our forums!

[Kopcap]

works of translation is lead. We use some mine from Potc, besides we will used recourse from KVL (addon to K3 from Seaward)
armour is not ready in scripts.....

[Thomas the Terror]

I saw you put a dialog in the game for looting dead bodies, does it actually work? Can I loot dead people?

[Kopcap]

yes dialog here in version, but while it is not use. loot dead people will be in next version ( if I can do this=))

[Silverwolf]

BTW, why "Secrets of far seas" ? Why not "Mysteries"? That's not correct...

Hello to english-speaking SFS fanats!
I'm working at translation SFS to english version from SFS team.
If somebody wants to help in something, write in PM or ICQ 234-333-324.

I hope you will play SFS english version ever. :)

SeadogX, Hi!
I´d like to help with translation cause i´d like to make a good game and play it.
But, some problems:
I can´t speak russian although i´m using a translator.
I can speak spanish and understand english very well, but not always perfectly.
I´m now quite confused with this addon. I´m trying to install it well but no successs yet.

So if i can help in anyway tell me. If you know someone who can help me installing and modding tell me too.

Meanwhile i´ll continue reading in this forum.

Thx for your work.

[SeadogX]

I´m trying to install it well but no successs yet.
mmm... can you say what's the problem exacktly, please?

now i just can advice you to ask about it on piratesahoy.com, there is a SoFS topic (http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=9740&pid=207010&st=260&#entry207010), maybe there are have users with same problems.

thanks for your support :)

[Mumbala]

mmm... can you say what's the problem exacktly, please?
OK, this is what i've done:

Installed AoP 1.41 in default path
Made Mod directory in other folder with a subdirectory Corsairs3 : ...\MODS\Corsairs3
Patched default game to 1.5 (patch doesn´t allow to choose path)
Copied 1.5 full game to ...\Corsairs3
Executed setuptdm.exe to ...\Corsairs3
Executed k3_addon_tdm_ver_030411.exe to ...\Corsairs3
Executed engine.exe in ...\Corsairs3 ==> Something wrong: Controls are in russian
Changed ...\Corsairs3\RESOURCE\INI\texts\language.ini file from russian default to english default (removing the ;)
Now controls in english, main menu works OK. But when new game started on a ship deck, it says "press F3" "exit locked", and controls don´t work. Exit to desktop with engine error after some key hits.

So i missed or messed something. I have the files Secrets of the Far Seas - 0.1.0201.7z and Secrets of the Far Seas - 0.1.0207 Patch.7z but i thought they were included in setuptdm.exe.



I´d ask/advice to make a sticky post at the beginning of the english forum and update it as new improvements are made, with this information:

What you need to start :

.- Corsairs3 or Aop (really i´m not sure if they are exactly the same) installed (or not) in english version
.- Patch 1.5 installed (or not)in english version
.- If it´s necessary to install it in default path or how can be moved to another folder.
.- If it´s necessary to leave the addon folder default name as it is, ??????? 3 (or not).
.- Starforce removal utility and nocd (or not).

What you need to download from the forum and help to do it :

.- Link to web translator to help registering, and help to deal with the forum. The control buttons aren´t translated by web translator nor can be copied to translate them.
.- Links to last full translated version and updates. This is already done.
.- How to install it with precise instructions.
.- Maybe update the readme and translate splash screens of the installer because they can´t be copied to clipboard to translate.

.- Finally/optionally What you need to download the last not translated versions, if help is needed.


Q. On what version of game Age of Pirates: Carribean Tales to put addon?
A. We recommend on 0.99. Basically it is possible on any, but categorically not recommend to put a top fashion V.9.
After reding this in the FAQ i don´t understand anything.:huh:
Now you can make some laughs after seeing how much confused i am.

Sorry for this long post, i think it would really help. I've readen the PAhoy post, but there are 14 pages with someone asking 3d navigation, someone complaining about a phantom virus, someone translating the addon by parts, while people are asking help to solve the quests, and other funny things. If a sticky post is made, it could be posted in both forums.

Okay-okay-okay, wait :Happy2:

First of all, what's a 1.5 patch and why you install it? For example I even don't know what is it, it looks like it is any english not official patch, so why you try to use it with SoFS, it's absolutely not a same, guys made SoFS in best view on russian patches, not on english. :) So 1.5 it's lol here (imho).

Next, if F.A.Q. said that you need to install it on 0.99, why are you trying to install it on 1.41? :)

And finally - I think a big problem can be in your personal changings as Executed engine.exe in ...\Corsairs3 ==> Something wrong: Controls are in russian
Changed ...\Corsairs3\RESOURCE\INI\texts\language.ini file from russian default to english default (removing the ;)
Now controls in english

these your changings could be trouble really. i understand that you can't play even with russian controls (don't tell about dialogs & texts), but this is why we work on the english version. So, we can say, that we will GUARANTEE a normal game for you only on english version, because it will be 100% addepted to english AoP and other english troubles. :)
Now it all looks very trouble, isn't it? :)

P.S. .- Corsairs3 or Aop (really i´m not sure if they are exactly the same) installed (or not) in english version
It looks lol, but i think we are not sure exacktly too. :D Cuz for example SoFS added on v 0.99, and as I know AoP haven't v 0.99. :)

In concluding - we are working. :Happy2:

[SeadogX]

yeah, P.P.S. - as i said before - please, ask other not russians on piratesahoy.com, cuz some of them have already play it and they can better advice you what do you need for best installing (that's again because we are don't know good about english patches).
Try it. :)
