Fallout 2 mod Olympus 2207 (english translation)

Good luck, the worst part is translating battlecries, I hate this file

 

good luck with this endeavor! the OG Fallout modding community never stops to amaze me.

 

good luck withwork on this one..

Unfortuneatly I'm temporarily out.. as far as it goes for any internet activity (translating Sonora included).. some strange twist of fate caused me to shit with blood, so I'm currently in the middle of the process of finding out WTF is going on with me.

 

That's an incredible news.

 

Was just about to shanghai you starting it, then I've seen your post ^^
Sadly I missed your stream, but, you got mail, ah.

 

Progress Report:
The text translation is going steadily. I myself did take a bit of a break and did make some graphics translation work today.

Awesome work, I have a question for you, all interface elements (Skilldex, craft etc) are in text files or did you edit other files?

 

The most are in in text files, but quite a bit are also only graphics, for example many button texts in static menus.

If you want a direct count, it's 43 composed interface buttons (overlayed on top of a static screen, fe. the item hotbar, 2~3 states states per button), 37 static screens, one heck of a custom 26 frames animation and 27 composed custom combat buttons, so that makes it around 133 graphics to edit, not counting the unchanged vanilla fmr's of around 31 Item Interface descriptors (SINGLE, BURST, RELOAD, etc) and the 4 standard elevator graphics that are just exchanged for the US vanilla ones.
For the more curious, there is a complete list of graphics with text below.

WMAPBOX          normal worldmap interface, "TOWN / WORLD"
WMINIFCE2        high-res worldmap interface, "TOWN / WORLD"

So, while I am quite happy with my work, I do hope we can persuate Red888 to either allow us access to the original sources for the graphics (and fonts used), or that he himself would make english versions at some point for the release. Without it, the nasty ones (combat button animation and custom controls) will be quite aggravating (in wich case I would do some complete own ones I guess)^^" /WoT

 

Great works guys, much MUCH appreciated!!

 

Awesome news. As I remember in 'normal' version there are about 239 dialogue files and in fixed version about 241, but I need to check it.

 

Yup, it was essentially only one new file from original to fixed edition, and that one is a oneliner. I did even make a diff between the versions and read through all of that, but pretty much everything else was only encoding changes @Foxx made, so I switched our base to FE. I guess @Keyboard Gecko just thought the old Demo/GT files were everything xD

 

Good to know that, I checked couple of files but all differences were typos, so translation should work with any game edition. You saved me a couple of hours, thanks

 

Ahem, only the changes in the translated text stuff, the rest is ofc still red888guns original works ^^"
