I don’t think this is a good idea. Especially after “Fargus” horrable translation.
It’s better play in English with no translation needed. :yes:
I am gonna say that is a great idea. That is what a community is about, helping each other :) If changing something that is only about allowing more languages to show ingame that is good, not only for the Cyrillic alphabet but to other ones as well. That would allow (even if the chances are low) people from all across the world to translate the game. Remember it is only the text so they will still listen to the English voiceovers, which can help practice the language :) And while I agree you learn better with everything in English, we also want to spread the game and make people see the love it has :pirate:

I'm not 100% on the details here but couldn't we issue an alt language caption string file source for Russian relatively easily?

You'd need to re-build the .TPA files with the translated text in the proper places. And unfortunately, not all the names of the sounds contained therein are known yet (check the listings in my signature), and they're needed for that purpose...

We'll wait for Lee's answer.

The game stores the text only in the exe file. A translation of the sound already exists.
I have not translated anything yet, because the game does not see the text. Let's wait for Lee's answer.

No, captions for several phrases are stored together with the sounds in the .TPA files, it's part of the file format. But if you aren't using the original .TPA files and instead have some translated ones, maybe they just didn't add translated captions when they did the translation...

You can edit the .exe file text (menu strings, game hints, etc) using CE's localization feature. It supports multiple files for different languages.

I'll see. But how can I open them?

Use TPAreader. Load the Stream.tpa file into it and you'll see.

Thank. The program is understandable. But how to edit the text of subtitles? The program can only show them and export the files, but does not accept them back... After their export, they do not shove them back.

You have to type the new text (or paste it) into the box labeled "Captions" when you import a sound...
Overall, it's better if you use EffectsEditor.

Read the CE documentation, it's included in there somewhere. I haven't touched it myself as of yet so I can't really help you much there.

Btw, figure I'll mention now that Tres CE has a strange bug on my current computer. The engine would not at first accept that I'd told it to use the "CDrac" mods folder as the active fan mod, then after unrelated actions it started using it and would not switch to others when told. Figuring there is some file update or something that CE isn't doing, any idea what might cause this?

Well CE have two settings for a mod folder. The first one is "FMPath=" which links to the root of the mods. Then you have "ActiveFM=" which would point to a folder inside the root folder.

Pretty sure I did both of those but I'm hesitant to try changing it lest I frak up which folder is being used again.

Just to be sure, this is what my TPmod.ini file looks like:

Code: Select all

[Paths]
;The directory that mod folders should be installed to. This folder should be located in your main Trespasser directory (where tpassp6.exe is located).
FMPath=Mods

[FM]
;Change this to the name of the mod folder that you would like to play.
ActiveFM=Twilight
If your mods are in a directory named "FMs", you'll want to change the FMPath= line to that, or whatever you've called it. Then you never have to change it again, instead you just change the ActiveFM= line to the name of your modfolder.
