Translation: Chaos Strikes Back

5) C = What does it mean? What English word?
6) B = What does it mean? What English word?
7) B = What does it mean? What English word?
8 ) A = What does it mean? What English word?
9) O = What does it mean? What English word?
10) C = What does it mean? What English word?
11) A = What does it mean? What English word?

5 ) C = "Third Letter of Alphabet"
6 ) B = "Second Letter of Alphabet"
7 ) B = "Second Letter of Alphabet"
8 ) C = "Third Letter of Alphabet"
9 ) O = "Fifteenth Letter of Alphabet"
10 ) C = "Third Letter of Alphabet"
11 ) A = "First Letter of Alphabet"

386 "GIVE UPx\nPULL THE\nLEVER" "RAS LE BOL ?\nTIRE SUR\nLE LEVIER" // no good
I made a writing error?

I doubt it. Patience, please. I'll have an answer tomorrow.

I do not understand this rebus (puzzle)!
But, It is not important... I would make an anagram ["OUEST (WEST) (CBBAOC) = SOUTE (WETS, It is an example. Because WETS is not English)"].

I doubt it. Patience, please. I'll have an answer tomorrow.

Please accept my excuses. I am an old man... But I am like a young boy waiting!

[Paul Stevens]

"GIVE UP]\nPULL THE\nLEVER" "RAS LE BOL ?\nTIRE SUR\nLE LEVIER" //

And before you ask: "No, I don't know why."

But if you use CSBuild to edit the text, you will see the square bracket.

[hrvg]

Everything is good, thank you.

I used "CSBuild". But I did not know that we could edit the text.
I had looked for: 377 "N \nW E \n S C \n B B \n AOC \n\n A"
It was not good. It was written : "N-W-E---S-C---B-B---Aoc---A"
Lowercase letters do not appear in the game.
So, I did not look at it: 386 "GIVE UP]\nPULL THE\nLEVER"
I was wrong, sorry.

Last question, please.
For 386 "GIVE UP]\nPULL THE\nLEVER" "RAS LE BOL ?\nTIRE SUR\nLE LEVIER" .
It is good. But the sign "?" (RAS LE BOL ?) does not appear as for lowercase letters. It is possible to have this sign "?"?

[Paul Stevens]

No. There is no question mark in the wall-text font.
A->Z, space, line-feed, and period. Period.

[hrvg]

No. There is no question mark in the wall-text font.
A->Z, space, line-feed, and period. Period.

No problem, thank you.

I send you three files:
Translation.txt
Dungeon.dat
Graphic.dat.

You have CSBwin in French version now. Thanks to you!!
I could put download link on other sites (2 or 3), please?
I can ask other translators (Spanish, Italian and Deutsch) if they are interested in translating your files. If you want.
I thank you for your help and especially your patience. Thanks.

PS:
I did not find the files to translate for Dungeon Strikes Back.

hrvg:

I am putting together releases of the French version of Chaos Strikes Back.
The releases contain a 'readme.txt' file.
Would you like to add a line or two to the 'readme.txt' that describes
your changes and perhaps identifies you so that users might know who did
this work and could contact you with suggestions?

[hrvg]

I played game until the end.
Everything is excellent... Except a small writing error (misspelling, "DECENDRE ==>DESCENDRE").



There is this picture at the end of game.
Skills and levels are in English.

Would you like to add a line or two to the 'readme.txt' that describes your changes and perhaps identifies you so that users might know who did this work and could contact you with suggestions?

__________________________________________
Thank you very much to everyone who helped me.

[Paul Stevens]

Oh, dear. I have already started preparing the French release.
Now you have changes. I'll stop what I am doing, fix your problem
with the end-of-game screen, and wait for you to say that you
are quite done with your testing.

Christophe: Is it reasonable to publish a particular forum thread as
a 'contact' address. I am not 100 percent comfortable with that because
it seems too non-permanent and nobody is really assigned to monitor
the thread for activity.

[hrvg]

I beg you to accept my apologies. But I received your message when I was going to write my message. I finished my french game (100%) this afternoon. Sorry.
I play English version for see the end of game. I started game. There is 1 hour.

Christophe: Is it reasonable to publish a particular forum thread as a 'contact' address. I am not 100 percent comfortable with that becauseit seems too non-permanent and nobody is really assigned to monitor the thread for activity.

Yes you are right. But I receive notifications. And I always answer... But one day... I could not answer anymore. I do not give my email address. I do not know how to make an email address that is not hacked by hackers.

PS:
I can translate your "readme.txt"
English text then French text. If you want.

[ChristopheF]

Well if you don't want to put an email address then I guess giving the URL of this forum post so users may tell if they find an issue is good enough.
Note: You do not need to mention my name in the readme. I did not translate anything, I just provided the original texts that FTL included in the Amiga multi language version.

[hrvg]

@ ChristopheF
You helped me to harmonize CSBwin with Amiga (CSB) and Atari (DM).

Well if you don't want to put an email address then I guess giving the URL of this forum post so users may tell if they find an issue is good enough.

I made an email address with Gmail. It is correct?

[hrvg]

I just finished English version.
I still made a writing error with signs "\n" and "/". I am really sorry.
Now I stop checking game. If there are any mistakes... My eyes can not see these mistakes anymore.

[Paul Stevens]

Try version 17.3:
http://dianneandpaul.net/CSBwin/CSBwin17_3.7z

I think it fixes the endgame summary translation.

Then, after you check it out, let me know and I will restart
my release procedure. I will ship the 'readme.txt' file to be
translated (both the Windoze and linux versions).

[hrvg]

Try version 17.3:
I think it fixes the endgame summary translation.

I just install everything for CSBwin game (clean).
Tomorrow I play game
Thank you.

[hrvg]

I just finished game. It is excellent, thank you.


Two questions, please.
I) Why we can not change the names?
It was good in my humble opinion.
II ) Character skills and classes are in English. (It is not important).

[Paul Stevens]

Character skills and classes are in English.

Try:
http://dianneandpaul.net/CSBwin/CSBwin17_4.7z

Why we can not change the names?

Because I did not write the code to do that.

[hrvg]

I)

Because I did not write the code to do that.

We could change champions names with CSBwin.exe de "CSB_Windows_x86-32_20151213.zip"

II)
Character class are French. It is good.
Skills and "HEALTH" "STAMINA" are in English.

[Paul Stevens]

Skills and "HEALTH" "STAMINA" are in English.

You need two different translations (one with trailing spaces) for these:

Code: Select all

Thank you.

Why we can not change champions names now? Before we changed champions names with CSBwin of origin: "CSB_Windows_x86-32_20151213.zip (2015-12-13)"?

[Paul Stevens]

Why we can not change champions names now?

It got lost in the upgrade to 32/64-bit executable.
I have tried to make it work in version 17.5.

[hrvg]

Good new, thank you.

[Paul Stevens]

Here is the 'readme.txt' for windows. Let me know if you want to translate it.

Code: Select all

  Possible arguements are:

  directory=<dir>     eg: directory=e:\mygame
	The directory which holds any game file.  Default is the executable directory.

  dungeon = <dungeon name>    eg: dungeon = dungeon_test.dat   Default is "dungeon.dat"
	
  height = <screen height>  
  width = <screen width>
  
  X = <window x position>      eg: X = 300
  Y = <window y position>      eg: Y = 0

  ; The following define the window size:
  size=humong            ; x6   1920x1200
  size=FX6               ; x6   1920x1200
  size=extremelylarge    ; x5   1600x1000
  size=FX5               ; x5   1600x1000
  size=extralarge        ; x4   1280x800
  size=verylarge         ; x3   960x600
  size=large             ; x2;  640x400
  size=small             ; x1;  320x200
  size=full   FullScreen; Not really 'full-screen' but an approximation

  speed =  GLACIAL
  speed =  MOLASSES
  speed =  VERYSLOW
  speed =  SLOW
  speed =  NORMAL
  speed =  FAST
  speed =  QUICK

  Quick=<n>       eg: Quick=2000000000
	Play movie faster than light for n ticks of the clock

  VBLMultiplier=n      eg: VBLMultiplier=99
        n should be in the range of 1 to 99.
        Increases the speed of the realtime clock.  Makes the game
        playback faster.  If multiplier is greater than 1 and less
        than 99 then every third frame is displayed.
	
  Play=file         eg: Play=playfile.log
	Plays a recorded game. Might be reffered to as a "movie".
        You can interrupt the 'movie' with two consecutive Control-c.

  Repeat
        Repeats playback of movie indefinitely.

  NoRecord
	Prevents a dungeon to autorecord a session, even if the dungeon
	itself tries to force autorecord. It doesn't prevent you from
	manually selecting record. Actually, there is no reason not to
	use this switch.

  record
	Autorecord a session.  Creates a new file named "record<nnn>.log

  directx    ; Attempt to use DirectX for sound.

Here is the 'readme.txt' for windows. Let me know if you want to translate it.

Yes, I will translate "Readme". Unless there are ten pages !!!
I copied everything in "Notepad ++" (new file, not translation.txt file)... But I do not see what I must to translate?

I found your "CSBwin17_5.7z" file this morning. I tested the game. Everything is excellent for the game only. We can not change champions names. It is not possible?

[hrvg]

Here is the 'readme.txt' for windows. Let me know if you want to translate it.

Ok I understood. Sorry.

[hrvg]

It is hard for me to translate. It is technical.
I do not understand "humong".

[Paul Stevens]

I do not understand "humong".

Short for 'humongous'.

[hrvg]

Ah ok, thanks.

For Readme file.
Line:

@ Paul Stevens,
I repeat my question. I could write the link of your French version: CBSwin, please?
