Released Mods / Re: [COMPILATION] Final Mod Pack (FMP)
« on: January 08, 2022, 08:33:36 am »
Google translate help for you.

Truth to be told, Kato is Russian, just like me. However, this is an international forum, so publicly we all speak the language conceivable to the vast majority of the forum visitors. If you don't care about others, why should they even care about your opinion? Moreover, this mod's author doesn't speak Russian, not even to a degree, so whom are you talking with when publishing these huge posts then? Even if the author machine translates them, he will hardly get any idea from your writings, as you don't adapt your language at all, although I have to admit that DeepL does a surprisingly good job here. Finally, most of your ideas-complaints go way beyond the scope of this mod as they require heavy engine modifications. So if you want things like alternate endings and changing map building mechanics, better move these suggestions to the OXCE section of the forum.

I wonder what is the drama behind all of this mods appear/disappear all of a sudden.

@Solar, shouldn't this thread be closed as a total offtopic for XCF or any other mod?

I've encountered a Random event that made me smile — The Gopnik Dream! But is it a typo in the description?

«Red Dawn aggressively promotes their propaganda among the unemployed youth of Kaujuitoq. Many recruits flock to bolster their ranks, tempted by promises of physical and political power for all. The Council insists that this does not bode well».

What is it, this Kaujuitoq place?

It is how Resolute originally was called: https://books.google.com/books?id=TATeRUuKt40C&pg=PA425&lpg=PA425&dq=kaujuitoq

The X-Com Files / Re: Translation - Russian - XCF v. 0.8.4 (Complete)

There is a file "metadata.yml" in each folder  (three different files). I copied  folders from XCF Cyrillic Names, and everything works. But i have doubts about this file from XCF Cyrillic Names folder.

You don't need to move anything from these folders anywhere. These directories contain the submods that should be enabled from the ingame menu after you have installed the mod. The Mods manager is opened by clicking on the Mods button in the main menu.

After looking at what's going on in the last couple of days, I decided to forbid using any of my translations for the content that explicitly prohibits its usage, modification, and further distribution in other mods. Moreover, I will remove everything meaningful I did for such mods, although (un)fortunately that was not that much. Still, I'm not that crazy and will not remove the translations for the strings such as Soldier or Civilian. For the first time in my life I'm limiting anything related to my work and I can only hope that this will be the last one.

All rights to the X-Com series belong to Take-Two Interactive, and that was confirmed by Gollop himself in his subreddit. So if even if the source code existed (and I'm absolutely sure it is completely lost), Julian wouldn't be allowed to publish it without special permission from the publisher which I'm sure he wouldn't be granted under any circumstance. Not to mention other issues that Meridian has already specified.

Любишь в одну будку решать, какой должен быть перевод?  :)

И да, и нет. Я считаю коллективный перевод художественного произведения осмысленным делом только в том случае, если у проекта есть редактор-тимлид, слово которого абсолютно непререкаемо. В этом случае у проекта может быть несколько переводчиков и корректоров. При такой модели организации работы редактор выполняет роль последнего арбитра, который решает, каким именно должен быть перевод, а также модератора, гарантирующего определенные рамки общения. В остальных случаях проект скатится либо в войну правок, либо в бесконечную вкусовщину. Мне доказывать, что то или иное слово более или менее уместно в том или ином контексте, просто неинтересно - более чем хватает выматывающих споров и в жизни, и на работе. Я предпочитаю потратить это время с большей пользой на то, что мне доставляет хоть какое-то удовольствие.

По поводу наград для X-com Files, я уже нашлепал там степени с арабскими цифрами, а не с римскими, считаешь принципиальным именно римские цифры? 

Римские цифры в русском языке используются для обозначения порядкового номера. Если переходить к арабским, придется писать нечто вроде "Медаль «Путешественник» 1-й степени", что неоправданно длинно для заголовков Уфопедии. А вообще, имхо, для этой темы обсуждение XCF - это оффтоп. Предлагаю переехать в соответствующий топик в разделе мода: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,5246.0.html.

Перевод осуществляется не здесь, а на Транзифексе - коллективными усилиями. По ряду причин я в переводе ваниллы не участвую. Мне комфортнее переводить моды, причем те, за которые никто не брался. А как и что править локально, мне примерно известно :).

Sorry, it was my bad. I forgot about the spoiler protection setting. After switching it off, I'm able to search anything in the tree. Thanks for checking this and I'm sorry again for bothering you.

Tried this version as well and found one problem. Search on the Tech Tree Screen is broken. Entering three symbols or complete titles of the topics available to research doesn't solve the issue regardless of the case. Ufopedia search works like a charm, though.

If it helps, my keyboard - Full Keyboard, OS - MIUI 9.6 (based on Android 7), language - Russian.

Это еще один косяк в переводе ваниллы. Последнее обновление перевода этой строки было выполнено два года назад. Тоже нужно фиксить.

Fixed. Fix attached.


BTW, the UFO propulsion CTD is still there, even after the fix :).
