I won't lie, this seems absolutely epic. Iit sounds like Capcom material. If the dialogue is as good as in the AA games, then this will easily be my fave fan game evar.

Good luck with the demo.

I'd translate the game into Spanish, but I don't know too many words. Unless of course you want me to do it all Chinese fakes' manual style. Then I'll have a few words in Spanish, and the rest in English. :gant:

If it's to be made as a ds rom, couldn't it be tested on a DS emulator on PC?

papermario, just before I forget:

AIGE has a feature called Message Base. Basically it allows you to make a game with multiple languages available without having to go and translate the game in source/release multiple versions one per language. You define a file that will contain the message data, so simply switching it will change the messages on screen.
This could help you deploying the game in multi-language quickly (+ a small file change = instant language change), as you cna only send the message base file for translation.

If we are speaking about translations, papermario, I won't have any problem helping with a Spanish translation.

Contact me if you are interested.

Thanks for the info, KSA. That does sound a lot easier. Will I still need translators to translate the text if I use the Message Base?

If so, I'd be happy to accept any and all help on translations.

Thanks all!

Yes, all it does is save your text in seperate files, then with some quick changes in code, some image substitutions (for name boxes), your game is accessible in multiple languages.

Given the game is Message Base-ready, adding new languages is easy.

The very simple way:

After loading pwlib, load all the message bass you want to use with:

loadmessagebase("name","file");

aka:
loadmessagebase("eng_lang","langs/english.ini");

Tell AIGE to use the message base system:

enablemessagebase();

Now set the active message base:

setactivemessagebase("eng_lang");

Now you will be using the Message Base System. Now you need to organize the message calls to work. All message functions will be using the message base, append, and so on.

Supposing you have a message command:

message("You're lying! I know you did it!");

You will see that with the message base on, the message will be blank. It is normal. You will need to build the language file.

Open the english.ini.

Then for each message, you add an entry:

message1=You're lying! I know you did it!
message2=Anything else...

and so on. Save.

Then on the message command you want to use a message, put its reference instead of it. In the previous example, we use this:

message("message1");

And you're done.

And example to make it fully clear:

Conversation example:
message("But Maya said that Pearls went to that restaurant!");
message("Isn't that the restaurant SHE loves to go? Why would Pearls go?");
message("(Hmmm, I feel something is wrong here...)");
message("This can be a stupid coincidence, but...");

Now changing it to the Message Base support:

message("messrest1");
message("messrest2");
message("messrest3");
message("messrest4");

and on the english.ini

messrest1=But Maya said that Pearls went to that restaurant!
messrest2=Isn't that the restaurant SHE loves to go? Why would Pearls go?
messrest3=(Hmmm, I feel something is wrong here...)
messrest4=This can be a stupid coincidence, but...

Wow:O Just saw a thread in the Press Conference forums; apparently many people have mistaken Remnants of the Past as GS5, which blows my mind and makes me happy beyond belief, to say the least.

Many thanks to Croik for clearing that up, though. Wouldn't want to disappoint anyone.

What is the difference? As long as it's easily understandable for the area you are translating for, I'm okay with either.

Yeah, I don't usually visit the Press Conference forum, but I had to recently to announce a farewell in the stead of one of my CR friends.

I could translate for Japanese, if you want. You probably don't, though, because I'm perpetually unneeded. Oh well. There could be better translators out there anyway.

I think making a whole new topic would be a bit much, but I'll definitely update the first post so I remember who's translating.

Yeah, thanks for the offer, but I've had offers fly in like crazy; maybe we can have some kind of pairing program so people can work in groups to translate. It'd go by quicker, and everyone gets a chance to contribute.
