I installed it, and it sorta *feels good*, with me arriving in a place like QC port, with a Danielle full of makeup in town... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> And, if I'm correct, I saw a bum in beatuful clothes, sitting in an entirely new pose, on the ground... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> I couln't read the text tho... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":c" border="0" alt="mad.gif" />
 
I tried installing the Russian version but it wouldn't work. What did you do that I didn't?

My favourite part, from browsing through the files, are the new weapons: three axes, a fire poker, a blunt club and... a `modern-day` shotgun. Plus new sword designs.

<b>Alan</b>, I have a copy ACEd up of a vanilla PotC, and I run the install program of the modpack, then copied all the mod files into the directory.

<b>Catalina</b>, I've been having computer probs, I had to format C because of that darned Windows or whatever it's called. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> (But good thing all the *important* stuff were on D.

This looks like a really great mod. So, I downloaded it ( <a href="http://addon.kerk.ru/links.htm?uselink=52" target="_blank">http://addon.kerk.ru/links.htm?uselink=52</a> ) and was looking at the files included in the rar's. If you can bear with me I have a few questions.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only files we need to translate in the rar files are: addon_am.part1 and am_upd1001. But only the stuff in RESOURCE/INI/TEXTS and RESOURCE/QUESTSTEXT not mention the readme files.

Also a couple of the voices need replaced.

Looks like the text files in part2 through part8 are redundant. Also we really dont need to do part1 beacause the `am-upd1001` overwrites it, correct?

The other updates are exe files. Do they overwrite these text files as well? I assume the res_update's are textures only and seperate from the exe files or are they the manual version of the exe files?

Also the menu's need to be translated and retextured into english, are those in the font.rar only?

So other than the menu's, text and voice files, isn't the rest of the code okay or does it need to be edited?

If it doesn't, couldn't a team begin work to make it compatable with buiild 12 or a future 13? While another team works on the translation?

I'd be willing to help, though don't know what help I'd be. Testing, organizing... I only know the basics of the code, but I'd be willing to learn. I do have a russian friend, I can ask if she would help, but no promises.

Anyways I've rambled on enough....
 
Re: Morgan Pack Mod

Meethos, you don't need to apply the "fonts.rar" for the mod to work, so I guess we don't need it. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" /> About the res_update1, that is only a collection of updated textures, I think. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/diomed.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dio" border="0" alt="diomed.gif" />

I had a look at the PROGRAM folder, and everything in the Dialogs are in english! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" /> Where do they get the russian text from then? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> I think this is a great mod, but the replaced pictures (like the loading screen) look a wee bit amateurish, looks like they wanted to *completely* destroy all traces of Disney (Aaaargh!), but they overdid it.
 
You can translate most of interfaces by translating the corresponding txt and `ini-files`.
But you have no choice to catch those `dialog-files`, because they are located in `dll-files`. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":c" border="0" alt="mad.gif" />
The real funny thing in Morganpack is, that you have to start with nothing except your sword or dagger. Then you have to deside how to get a ship(duell with a capt'n, or collecting items to get money....).
And their are 3 `danielle-based` models whitch are looking fine. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
Also very god is the fact, that you get skillpoints only for the skill you are use, but for seamenskills the points grow to slow.
Arrrr! It's so a f**king shit, that my puti is gone forever just in the moment i was making the first update for my own colony! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/urgh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":urgh" border="0" alt="urgh.gif" />
 
So, Emrep, you say that this mod isn't translatable, or are you saying that we should somehow make the Morganmodded PotC disregard the russian dialogs in the .DLLs? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
 
Hmm, I barely got the mod to run, and even then the game crashes when I want to go to sea and I can't play as Will Turner (black screen).

What I basically did is, copy all the main files into POTC folder and then patch from the patches. Exactly as it says. Weird.


Anyway, funnily enough, most of the text I encountered in the mod is your basic standard stuff the sailors, `tavern-keepers`, `shop-keepers` and smugglers say. Infact, it's been translated from English to Russian `one-to`-one, so I guess we can just replace those. The voices, though I've heard few of the original POTC ones because I immediately installed Build 12 which disabled them, sound similar and undoubtedly are simply translated from English. Some voices I've heard: "I reckon I need a better boat!", "The governor is nice, but doesn't pay us enough!" and "There seems to be a shortage of wheat in the town."

I think that should be the way from beginning of this thread. And after translation the dialogfiles should been added to the programmfiles and compiled.
It seems that the russians have found a way to create `dll-files` whitch are compatible with the gameinterface, because these dll exporting only one or two functions made for the gameengine to operate the dll. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" />
 
If someone can get in touch with AlexusB, I believe he offered to give us the files we need to make a translation (and the permission to do so).
 
Somebody who speaks russian quite well should send him a PM <a href="http://kerk.ru/forum/index.php" target="_blank">HERE</a> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
The executable installer requires an existing POTC installation to run off of, because it copies and patches ship models (rather than including "new" ship models, i.e. hexed to point to new textures, it's done on the user's end).

WB, Drunken!
 
Hey, Sailor Al; you've been gone.

I looked at all the loading screens, to start with, and translated the little text on the flags. My Ph0t0sh0porz skillz are weak, so I'll let someone else do the changes.

Al just sent me some of the files I translated, so I'll post them on the FTP for everyone to see. Really they're pretty much the same as the English, so we ought to use the originals instead of trusting my translation skills...

(korsary.zip should be the file; only a dozen or so assorted text files in it.)

This is great, Alan, glad to know you've made some headway with it. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Speaking of translations, I'm sitting here listening to "Main_theme" which
is very "lord of the ringsish" and wondering, does anyone have an English translation to that song?

Please post it if so.
 
Try to post it at babelfish. Maybe ... christmas... they will sing it for you. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
