Hello, everyone!
As promised (to ohartenstein23 on mod.io), please see attached a revised version of the text used in the game (basically, I used notepad++ to edit the text).
Bear in mind that English is not my native language, but this version should be slightly better than the original. If anyone wants to give the text another brush of editing, it would be better to use this file. Unfortunately, my poor computer skills prevented me from installing a notepad+++ track changes tool.
-
Thanks, we'll be including the edits in the next version (016).
-
Just fired up the mod again and noticed there are still a lot of typos :-[. Promise will weed them out asap.
-
I just realized that not all the text used in the mod is available in the extraStrings... I need a bit of assistance to locate the other text files, so I can proofread them. Any help would be appreciated! Should I just check out the strings files? I would gladly proofread everything, if I had ALL the bloody text files in the same place! :P
-
it´s quiet simple , there is the main extrastring´s_40k for general, extrastring_ig for the guard general
those 2 are the main ,
The others are topic related
-stringsglobe- for terrain and sort
-stringufo- for ufo text
-stringscat- for categories
-stringshelp- for the help codex part
-stringsstrategy- for the strategy codex part
-stringsrank- for the rank part
-stringscraft- for the craft related
note that the topic related have all 3 languages in not like the 2 main ones
-
10x a lot for your guidance, bulletdesigner! Will post the edited files here. Hope it helps!
-
String files proofread and edited. 10x to Bullet and Ohartenstein23.
Once the next version goes online, will promise to revisit the text. In the meanwhile, all visitors with a decent command of English and some familiarity with the lore are kindly asked to go through the texts.
-
Thanks, I'll take a look maybe tomorrow or this weekend.
-
thanks for the swift reply! do tell if the work is worthwhile. please bear in mind this is my first openxcom endeavor, so mistakes are bound to happen. as I speak, I realise that there are some typos I overlooked. as stated previously, will revisit the text asap.
-
I should mention that we included your previous changes in the latest release - we appreciate the work you're doing!
-
1. So proud bulletdesigner mentioned me in the credits section! Much obliged, kind sir!
2. I just wanted you guys (bullet and ohartenstein23, mostly) that ALL the strings (not just thee extraStrings) have been verified and it's safe to use them in the next update (I tried them myself yesterday, and there were no issues to be reported, just an odd comma or two).
3. If you think there is other stuff I could edit our double-check, feel free to ask.

If anyone if willing to upload on youtube a how.to.mod.xcom for dummies, I would be happy to help with the more menial jobs, such as proofreading or editing. Or anything else I might learn.
Why YouTube when you have a proper manual (https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php/Ruleset_Reference_Nightly_(OpenXcom))? :)
-
I see that the latest version does not contain the edited text of all the strings. Something wrong with the files, maybe?
-
No, sorry we forgot to include them. I'll put them at the top of my list for next version.
-
hey man i got a new job for u, the new version got a new chapter to choose from and i need intro ´s for both
Mainly be the first page of codex after strategy chosen so it doesn't interfere with guard
Something like
Force Commander our ultramarine forces, ioioio , planet is f* ioioioio, warp storm arrive without notice ioioio, our Chapter master is on vacation ioioio , Protect the planet ioio
Something unique for both chapter,
i will maybe create a special individual missions for both that gives something unique that also will stay in that part of the codex
-
Cool! 10x, bullet. I'm on in. Just a simple notepad++ text will be fine, right?
Here's a sample:
Ultramarine Chapter
Of all the thousand and more Space Marine Chapters, it is the blue-clad Ultramarines that, in the mind of the countless billions of the Emperor's subjects, personify everything that the Adeptus Astartes stand for. Originally known as the War-Born, these superb soldiers are here to stem the tide of Chaos on this Planet. They will stop at nothing to eradicate all warp-spawn abominations.
Force Commander, your task is to find the source of the Chaos infestation; hunt down the Traitors and wipe out all those who oppose the Emperor's Will! Zeal and Fury, Brothers! Victory awaits!
Imperial Fists Chaoter
The Imperial Fists are one of the most valiant of all Chapters, held as paragons of the principles set down in the Codex Astartes. The Imperial Fists stand as the steadfast defenders of the Imperium and the Emperor's unwavering shield; for ten thousand standard years they have been the bulwark against which the armies of Traitors and aliens have shattered.
Force Commander, you are to defend this Planet at all costs! You and your forces will stand fast against the overwhelming forces of Chaos! You will erradicate all Traitors and abominations. Zeal and Fury, Brothers! Victory awaits!

Plese see the attached text.
-
Thks man, that was quick, I will do my part asap
-
Can hardly wait for the next update! :P. One more thing: just a friendly reminder not to forget to include the other string files I edited.
Also, if you ever need my assistance, I'm more than happy to help. All the best, guys, and take care.
Just as a side note: the latest version (017) had some minor mistakes than were not found in the previous version. For example, the Drop Pods are known as the Sky Ranger :) and some cultist appear as "aliens".

Check your language setting in Options > Video > Diplay Language. It should be "en-US".
