Bravo!

Am reusit sa mai traduc si eu putin in ultimile saptamani, noroc ca mai am tot putin de tradus. Sper sa reusesc s-o termin curand, probabil ca o s-o pun si eu aici. Mafia II e mai greu de tradus complet, adica meniurile sunt sub forma de poza, trebuie tradus si preparat in Photoshop ca sa iasa ceva identic. La fel este si Max Payne 1 + 2. Din pacate e ceva de munca si mai am si alte proiecte, cred ca o sa raman si eu doar la subtitrare.

Nu stiu daca am jocul asta. Parca aveam un joc BloodRayne, dar nu stiu daca 1 sau 2. O sa vad. Apoi, daca pot sa "sparg" fisierele jocului.... o fac. La Mafia 2 n-am reusit inca nimic. As mai fi vrut sa incerc sa traduc LA Noire, dar jocul are niste fisiere cam "dubioase" care iarasi nu pot fi sparte. De obicei, producatorii de jocuri isi codeaza jocul sub un format propriu, tocmai ca sa nu poata fi sparte. Daca nu ofera ei programul cu care pot fi decriptate fisierele jocului, cineva destept (un programator) trebuie sa creeze un program care sa decripteze fisierele. Altfel, n-ai ce sa faci sau... la noroc.

Mafia 1. La 2 n-am facut traducere. Stiu ca exista una, am luat-o ca sa vad care sunt fisierele cu subtitarea si sa nu mai caut eu, dar e sub forma de fisier .EXE si n-o instalez pt ca e foarte probabil sa aiba virus.

E acelasi thread, am incarcat fisierul nou peste cel vechi. N-avea niciun rost sa mai pastrez vechea traducere. Descarca fisierul si o sa vezi ca scrie v1.1: Indiedb.com

Ma gandesc sa fac inca o traducere, in care sa schimb denumirile masinilor cu cele reale. Abia atunci o sa creez un thread nou.

Mersi. N-am reusit sa iau imaginile de la tine si sa le fac sa se vada direct, apare doar un link. Dar e bine si asa decat deloc.

PS: am aruncat iar o privire pe traducerea mea de la Mafia si am facut ceva modificari (cateva zeci): am mai gasit cateva cuvinte fara diacritice, cateva cuvinte/expresii nu erau traduse tocmai corect, altele erau traduse cumva prea "pretentios" si le-am schimbat cu o varianta mai uzuala/potrivita etc. Daca esti interesat, v1.1 e lansata.

Ai jocul instalat? Poti sa faci cateva screens cu traducerea si sa le urci pe site, ca apoi sa le preiau eu si sa le adaug la mod? Eu n-am mai putut sa instalez partea asta si nu mai incerc.

Am aruncat o privire, am si incercat sa fac ceva, insa n-am reusit nimic deocamdata. Cateodata, chiar si "simpla" cautare, extragere si modificare a unor fisiere din jocuri poate fi o provocare serioasa.

Poate, candva in viitor... daca fisierele se pot extrage si sunt acelasi format ca la jocul de baza. Stiu ca meniurile nu am putut sa le traduc pentru ca sunt sub forma de poza (.DDS). La fel si la Max Payne. Pt cineva ca mine, care nu stie sa lucreze in Photoshop prea bine, e muuult de munca si n-aveam garantia ca-mi iese ceva frumos, asa ca am lasat-o balta. De asemenea, diacriticele nu functioneaza in MOHAA, in Max Payne 2 functioneaza partial. Inseamna ca au folosit codarea de tip ASCII. In Mafia functioneaza toate diacriticele pt ca jocul e din Cehia si au folosit codarea UNICODE ca sa poata traduce jocul si in ceha, pt ca si ei au diacritice ca noi.

Mersi! Imi pare bine ca ti-au placut. Chiar am incercat sa le fac cat mai pro. Am incercat sa folosesc cuvintele cele mai potrivite in functie de context (asa ca, am mai folosit si dictionarul de sinonime din cand in cand), fara prescurtari, cu semne de punctuatie, cu diacritice (insa nu pot toate caracterele RO functioneaza in jocuri), fara obscenitati etc.

Thanks! Good job! Agree that the game is obviously oriented against the player after v1.4002, and it kills the fun completely. I've used all my skill points (5 so far) on Barter... and still the trading balance is off completely, no matter who you are trading with! You're selling a product to a certain amount of money and if you buy it back the next second, it costs 5 times more! And viceversa. It's ridiculous!

WOW, WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT THIS GAME IS....!!!

So many changes from a version to another version even for the basic stuff, like prices, weights etc. I thought these (basic) aspects were already established by now! Then, the game is becoming more and more hard with every new version, kinda makes you wonder what's the fuss of having the top equipment in the game at all... ' cause you'll never have the money to buy and mantain that kind of gear. The weapons durability is also worse now, and too far from reality. The found weapons are in a state even worse than before and can't be sold anymore. The enemies have like infinite ammo... until you kill them! When you loot the body... you just find like 2-3 bullets! Plus, some other stuff, very unrealistic from the start, one expected to be sorted by now. But... NO! For example, vehicles fuel consumption. It's so unrealistic the way it is, on most maps a full fuel tank it's not enough to travel from north to south or west to east. On a real scale that's like 3-4kms. It's ridiculous! In reality, one should be able to travel the entire Zone with a single full fuel tank. I'm not asking that - to be able to travel 500km, but 50km is acceptable. That's like 10 maps. I think it's about right... without getting annoyed. There're also some other (small) things that were changed for worse, it's like the entire game is meant to give the player only frustation and no bit of joy. v1.40002 wan't bad and hoped things would get better from there. No chance, v1.40005 just got even more extreme, it's like another Misery Mod.

Not what I wanted, but it's getting more and more ridiculous and frustating, so just uninstalled it without thinking twice...

Waiting for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2!

Mersi! Imi pare bine ca iti place.

Mda, cine stie, poate intr-o zi o (reusesc) sa fac si partea aia... Eu am tradus strict partea care era conceputa sub forma de fisiere text. Orice altceva, adica inclusiv walkthrough-urile, sunt concepute sub forma de poza (.DDS), deci trebuie modificate in Photoshop. E ceva mai complicat si mai mult de lucru.

Mda, sincer nu stiu daca pot ajuta. Eu nu am jocul instalat, nu am mai jucat Max Payne de cativa ani buni. Am facut traducerea jocului pentru uzul personal cand am jucat ultima data jocul, adica acum vreo 5-6 ani. De curand m-am lovit de ea din nou pe HDD si m-am gandit s-o impart si cu altii, poate (mai) e cineva interesat de asa ceva pentru un joc atat de vechi. Deci, sincer nu prea mai stiu deloc de erorile jocului si *** se pot repara. Dar, daca nu ma insel, nu cred ca eroarea asta e cauzata de fisierele traducerii, ci mai degraba de ceva legat de configuratia sistemului tau de operare vis-a-vis de joc. Mai exact, eroarea asta cred ca o vei primi indiferent ce subtitrare, traducere vei folosi. Nu cred ca e cauzata de fisierele mele in mod deosebit. Cu parere de rau, in acest moment chiar nu am habar *** se poate repara eroarea asta. Sa faci o cautare pe Google a acestui tip de eroare poate te va ajuta. Oricum, cand e vorba de jocuri atat de vechi, e bine sa dai si mai multe detalii cand e vorba de probleme in jocuri. Adica, ce sistem de operare folosesti, daca e pe 32 sau 64 biti, daca mai ai alte moduri instalate in joc etc. De asemenea, ai instalat Patch v1.1 pentru joc? Deocamdata, tot ce pot recomanda, ca sa te poti juca in continuare, e sa stergi fisierele traducerii.

Poti detalia? Ce fel de eroare?

Am uitat sa precizez, traducerea e verificata pentru versiunea 1.01 a jocului si pe
Windows 7 (32+64 bit). Totusi, cred ca ar trebui sa meaga fara probleme si pe versiunea 1.0 a jocului, de asemenea si pe alte sisteme de operare.

Apoi, incearca sa folosesti traducerile separat! Adica: daca ai ales sa folosesti traducerea arhivata sub forma .MP2M, nu instala/sterge traducerea nearhivata - adica folderul 'data'. Sau poate ai vreun alt mod instalat si e vreun conflict?! Alte idei nu am in acest moment, mie imi merge fara probleme pe Windows 7 64-bit.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Can you detail? What kind of error?

Forgot to mention, the translation is tested only for game version 1.01 and for Windows 7 (32+64 bit). Still, I think it should work without problems with the 1.0 version of the game, also with some other OS.

Also, try using the tranlations separately. More exactly: if you chose to use the archived translation - .MP2M format, don't instal/delete the unarchived translation - the 'data' folder. Or maybe you have another mod installed and there's some sort of conflict?! Do not have some other ideas at the moment, working without problems for me on Windows 7 64-bit.

Yeah, I know. Thought myself about reporting it, but I gave up because it's an obvious issue and devs must know about it by now, so if they want to fix it... they'll do it. But would be good someone remind them tho. Just in case.

Sorry to hear that. It's my 1st modif for this game, must have missed something along the way. It's working for me, otherwise wouldn't have had released it. Thing is, Dez pointed out this PARTICULAR and ONLY file to be the file to "blame" for fuel consumption. I'll have a look and re-release it as soon as I fix it.

BTW, another important bug for you: in my 2nd gameplay, the Poltergeist and the Pyrogeist are completely invisible. Only the sound works, nothing to be seen. Also, in the mission where the player must help Mole once he get to Agroprom Institute, the corpses and alive enemy AI was kinda appearing-disappearing.

Now, some bugs/annoying stuff encountered in both gameplays:

- the seif commands barely worked. After introducing the code, had to press like 10 times on the "OK" button to access the seif. Same thing for the other buttons. If the code was wrong, had to press like 50 times the "Reset" button.
- why's Nimble always starting to run from Underground to the Rookie Village every time the player approaches? Anyway, the issue here is that the player cannot talk to him, every time I had to return him the special items I had to follow him to the Rookie Village in order to be able to talk to him. Was really necessary to annoy the player with something like this?
- why the Bloodsuckers seem imune to RPGs?! Shot 1 Bloodsucker with an RPG twice... he had no problems at all. Really?!?! Had to fill his head with another 30 rifle rounds to get the best of him.
- enemies still throw grenades with pin-point accuracy. Can't be fixed somehow?
- What's with the vehicles?!?! They're necessary indeed because the maps are significantly bigger and the game already turned visibly into a walking simulator, but the way they behave is ridiculous. They have like no "weight" and hitting even a dog it's almost sure to end up with a flip over. Really?!?!?! Also, some vehicle commands barely work or not at all. Was a little nightmare to get out of the UAZ, had to press "F" to get out like 50 times every time I used this vehicle. Also, couldn't repair and refuel the BTR-70, no Command Window appeared when I tried to access from the rear of the vehicle! And what's with the fuel consumption for all vehicles?!?! It's waaaay too high, unrealistic! Traveled from north to south of a map and the fuel tank was empty! The fuel consumption should be reduced by at least 3-4 times for all vehicles.
- why the upgraded weapons mix up with standard weapons in the Inventory?! It really sucks, sold by mistake a fully upgraded weapon for like 1/3 the sum of money spent on upgrades.

PS: Because there're storyline bugs too (like couldn't take the documents from Borov' seif), decided to stop playing and uninstalled the game. Just wanted to share my thoughts, maybe the devs see them and fix them as soon as possible. Someday I'd like to finish it, so the storyline bugs should be fixed as quickly as possible. Barely played LA until Developer's Cut was released because I decided to wait (3 years!) for the DC version, hoping that most bugs will be fixed in the meantime. Thing is, instead of getting fixed previous bugs, DC simply added a lot new bugs into play. Somebody told me that, until DC version, it wasn't possible to die for Kruglov, simply because there weren't so many mutants in Yantar in the original release. DC added more mutants for Yantar... and I back-up the idea completely. Having empty maps is not good at all, but at least make everything work without issues. Dunno, maybe adding more (expert) fighters to protect the Scientist Camp from mutants is an idea. Also, not being able to continue the storyline because I cannot transfer some documents from a safe... is ridiculous indeed.

Just some of my opinions about Lost Alpha (v1.4002 DC in particular):

Overall, it's really great what the team managed to do and that they brought this mod/game to life and shared it with us. This is one of my favourite games ever, so hope the devs continue to fix the bugs, I'd like to finish it one day. Thanks alot.

My gameplay experience so far...

Started to play the 1.4002 DC version 2 times, both times on Master difficulty. The game was a total bug fest, dozens of random CTD in both gameplays. Still, it's not a really big issue to me, I'm not that bothered as long as I can continue playing. I saved the game a lot, so just started the game again and continued from where I left. But, there're many other bugs and annoying stuff... and these really affect the gameplay experience in general and can also stop the storyline progress completely. For example, in my 1st gameplay, the storyline ended because Professor Kruglov was dead, outside his building, when I got to Yantar for the first time. The only option was to go to an old saved game. This would have meant to replay like 1/3 of the progress. Bad news indeed. Some stuff a little weird that was pretty much confirmed by the 2nd gameplay, was that the guns and the armor barely got any damage. So, in my 1st gameplay I could fire like 1.000 rounds with a gun... and still was in perfect condition. In my 2nd gameplay tho, fired with an AKSU like 1.500 rounds and the gun was damaged beyond repair. What's with these (huge) differences between a gameplay and another for stuff that should be the same every time?! In my 2nd gameplay, got stucked because I simply couldn't transfer the documents from Borov' seif. Acessed the seif, but when I wanted to transfer the documents from the seif to my Inventory, the commands from the Command Window did not work at all. In my 1st gameplay everything worked fine. Some other bugs from 2nd gameplay: after a blowout, the (radiation) icons that mark on the map the places where the player can shelter remained active on the PDA map. They disappeared after next blowout tho.

Thanks a lot, got it. Got used too much to the blue steel box and was looking for something exactly like that or similar. Didn't think furniture could be used as stashes now.

Me again... Still in Cordon... there's no box to stash your own stuff or what?!

Same VGA card here. What's the problem?

Thanks a lot for all your work, guys. Quite impressive.

BTW, it's just me... or is something not really OK with some prices?! Just started to play the game (DC v1.4002) again since 2014 and I find the prices quite high. Do not remember if they were the same before, but a hunter rifle is like 20.000RU, some military vest like 40.000RU etc. Just completed 2 quests for Sidorovich and I cashed like 1.350RU. At this rate... it's going to be really hard to get the money to buy, upgrade and repair stuff.
