Dan's Localization 2.9 with Patch 1.50 Updates.

[Skates]

Okay everyone, it's now been updated with all the Northern Strike information. I started the new thread so that as updates are needed I can just edit this first post and keep the link on the first page of the thread.

For those of you who don't know what the Localization file is or want some screen shots of it please click here (http://www.totalgamingnetwork.com/main/showthread.php?t=18293) for the original thread by Dan who created this file. Credit goes to him for all the hard work, all I did was add in the Northern Strike stuff.

If you come across any errors please PM me and I'll get them fixed and update this post.

***Updated 8/21/07***
Fixed misspelling of "corridor" in game messages. Changed the notification of a map vote to say "Player xxxx has initiated a Map vote to switch to xxxxxx now." It used to say "to be played next" but that was misleading.

***Updated 11/14/07***
Version 2.8 now has the additions for Highway Tampa from Patch 1.40. There are still the two versions. The one without weapon descriptions is English only, the one with weapon descriptions includes the Finnish translation by StoneCold313 (http://bf2142.totalgamingnetwork.com/forums/member.php?u=13215). Please report any bugs involving the english to myself and any involving Finnish to StoneCold.

***Update:05/08/08***
Thanks to therealmat (http://www.totalgamingnetwork.com/main/member.php?u=19283) who added in the additional information for patch 1.50.

[FPS[VT_NERD]]

Does it have the weapon descriptions or not? Like player1 [voss - assualt unlock] player 2. If it does, would you please make a version that does not have the weapon descriptions.

[Iwantcable]

Thanks! I'm glad I can go back to the pretty colors now :D.

Have you checked it out? I was just looking at it and the color changes are in the Dutch sections too.

[Rick Astley]

I will try, going to download it now and will start the game up soon. I'll keep you posted. But are you sure you updated the Dutch sections too? Otherwise my game will probably crash, because i then have 2 different languages.

[GunHappyBob]

Thanks, works great.

Hey..have all of the bugs with Titan Shield messages finally been squashed?

[Dan]

Nice to see I was informed regarding not only the recreation but the use of what I spent time to make..

[Skates]

Dan, I hoped you wouldn't mind the file being updated. Your last post in your original thread was December 15th. There was much discussion in your original thread, especially leading up to the release of NS with many asking you if you were going to update it. After no response from you on any of those posts I went into the file and determined what needed to be done to update it. I posted the following in your thread on December 27th:

Dan, great file. One bug, in Cerbere Landing 32 player, South Town Center shows up as Harbor. If you open the file in Excel and change cell 1295A to "CPNAME_CL_32_South_Town_Center" and 1295B to "South Town Center" it fixes that. You can copy the rest of the foreign languages so they match too. Also, once that change is made it causes the PAC uncap to show up as "CPNAME_CL_32_Harbor" but if you change cell 1298A from "CPNAME_CL_32_South_Town_Center" to CPNAME_CL_32_Harbor" it fixes that. It took me a little to figure out why my squad mates were talking about "South Town Center" and my map showed "Harbor." Thanks.

However, there was no response. Maybe I should have PM'd you instead, but given your inactivity I thought maybe you were away from the game/forums.

If you read my first post I said the following:

For those of you who don't know what the Localization file is or want some screen shots of it please click here (http://www.totalbf2142.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6526) for the original thread by Dan who created this file.

I did not take credit for the work and if you read through the posts there are those thanking you for your work. Honestly I would have rather have spent the couple of hours I put into adding the NS information to your file doing something else but there were many members of this forum who were asking for the content and you were no where to be heard from. Sorry if I stepped on your toes.

[Breff]

Dan, I think your comment to Tiko is unfair. The time he put in was disinterested and unselfish and he always gave you the credit for the original files.

Anyway thanks to you both for your collective effort. Peace and harmony! (unless you're on the opposite side and I've got my Baur!) :D

Your work(and Dan's) is greatly appreciated. Awsome job, please keep it up.:)

Yes, I did. It seems to be fixed now though. I did nothing to fix, it just corrected itself.

Dan and Tiko,

I just installed the localization files for the first time EVER and have to say, they look absolutely awesome, great job!!!

[Blak4dr]

For those of you that do not own excel, you can use openoffice or any free spreadsheet program. This is just a CSV file.

We all have our opinions yet I would have liked some notification - there were more options than just PMing - in my profile there is my MSN and XFire...

I've started to get back into BF2142 now therefore I should be aiding in the process of making these Localization files even better...

Well, without any indication as to whether or not you were coming back, I think it was perfectly fair that somebody else pick up on your work so that we may enjoy custom localization files without having to wait until such time that you decided to return. You got credit. What more could anybody expect?

Just my opinion ;)

Glad you're back though...because it looks like another patch is on its way.

[Kraxis]

I noticed the other day that something is missing.

It might be when people fall on others, or when they pod onto them, I don't know. I noticed my squadleader killed someone, but I only saw the brackets, so I asked him and he said he fell on him... Since I wasn't around he could have podded, though it seems unlikely.

In any case, that is not included (and in the case of falling on top of a guy, not terribly likely to happen much).

In the Kill Messages there are ones for being killed by a vehicle, which includes pods, and weapons. If he actually did kill the guy by falling on him then I don't know what that would fall under. I looked through the files and compared the original to the modified to see if I had deleted a Kill Message but they are all there. If you see it happen again please PM me with specifics or a screen shot would be even better.

Of course if you can kill someone by jumping on them that opens up a whole new aspect. Imagine like in the movies, waiting for the guy to get below you and timing your jump so he breaks your fall.:laugh:

[starjax]

Skates,

I've jumped off a titan and landed on someone. Yes it kills them. No it doesn't have a "kill message". I think this is something that doesn't have a kill message associated with it.

[Breff]

For those of you who know the ins and outs of localization files, how difficult would it be to program a line that says You were revived by XYZ? I think it would be great to know who's reviving you so you can thank the guy personally or give him hell if he's reviving you repeatedly while you die repeatedly before you even get up!

I assume that it's not something that can be done in the localization file without some programming by DICE. Just an idea. :rolleyes:

No, looking through the localiztion file it looks like it would need to be done by DICE. I would rather have the option to no be revived.

[Breff]

No, looking through the localiztion file it looks like it would need to be done by DICE. I would rather have the option to no be revived.

I hear you, that would be a great option to have. Worst is when you die while getting one guy on the furthest flag of the map. Some guy revives you and you have to hoof it back to the front. I'm getting old, and suicides are becoming more and more common to avoid all the hoofing.

Okay, saw it last night. Five of us were on our server waiting for a sixth to join for the game to start so we were just messing around on Leipzig, knife fights, Hachi races, and stuff. Everyone on teamspeak and good times. Anyway, one of my buddies was up on the monorail and timed his jump and landed on another guy and killed him. Hysterical to watch, I just wish I had Battle Recorder for it. The Kill Message just said Player A "Kills" Player B.

[Fixxxer]

I'd like to make a few changes to this file for my own personal use including changing the color of the text for "Enemy detected, sector #, <color> corridor" where the color of the corridor is the color of the text.

Anybody have a good link that lists the color codes to use?

Also, when I installed the 2.7 file, my Comrose and commands menu is all messed up. Any help?

[Ezekiel]

Ok i just downloaded and am using the file, i like the orange writing, makes it stand out, the one thing i dont like is, when i am picking what flag to start on it doesn just say the flag name (eg: instead of just saying 'Toll Station' it says something like HUD_?????_????_Toll_Station')

Its also the same with the Commo Rose it says Hud_????_????_Thank_You

Please not where i have put ???? that isnt actually what it said, it's just i couldnt remember the exact text

And also when i knife people it says the same things

EG: http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a340/daylfc/Sniperstags.jpg

You only have two options on color. It either has to be the original blue or green that the game is written with or you can change it to orange. like a swtich it is either off or on.

Please tell me which file you downloaded and are using. It sounds like the one you are using is missing a line or two. I have been using the one without weapon descriptions since I put it up about a month ago with no problems. If I know which one you are using I can try to find the error.

I don't know how it happened but that line is missing from the file. Weird since it's the same one I downloaded and has been downloaded over 200 times but somehow it must have gotten corrupted or something. Anyway, I have uploaded it again and you can get it here (http://files.filefront.com/7331461). I've also updated the link in the first post. Please let me know if there are problems with this new file.
Thanks

Ok thanks mate i have just downloaded it, will get back to you with the results

EDIT

Ok it is all working great now, thanks mate!

[CitizenSoldierX]

Question on these files:

I used these in BF2 and loved them. Just got back into 2142 and installed these. They are great. However, I ran into something I wanted to clarify.

Some servers disconnect me because I have 'modified' files and I am guessing it is the localization files.

Is this normal? Is this just the server? Anything related to NS?

Thanks.

[Ezekiel]

Well these kicks shouldn't have anything to do with the localization files, i know people do get kicked for having "modified content" which is usually to do with a bad install of a patch etc, i notice you mentioned NS. I am guessing you have just installed NS and can't get on, for the "modified content" palaver.

What i would recommend is to just re-install your NS

[CitizenSoldierX]

What i would recommend is to just re-install your NS

Alright...I just got it today...what is best procedure to do this?

[Ezekiel]

Well i haven't had any problems, but my clan mate said his said the 'modified content' crap, but he said all's he did was just said click install NS again, he never bothered to uninstall the game!

So just go to your NS and try reinstalling it, and if it doesn't work still you will be best to reinstall the whole game!

[Skates]

Ok thanks mate i have just downloaded it, will get back to you with the results

EDIT

Ok it is all working great now, thanks mate!

Glad to hear it fixed it.

[masterm1nd]

I was changing the sentences, like You killed # to You owned #, but how can I change the colour of the sentences?

Ok, I found that too, but what are the color codes?

[Skates]

The way it is programmed you only have two options. Either the color they wrote into the game or change that to orange. If you want to change something to Orange just put |C1001 before whatever you want changed and then |C1001 after it and that will make whatever is inbetween the |C1001's Orange.

[Skates]

I will work on the update once patch 1.40 comes out and post it as soon as it's done. That is unless Dan wants to do it instead.

[venny]

wow. we are all looking forward to it already. :)

[Fingulfin]

Can someone upload a patch 1.4 BETA CSV file (Un-edited)? My patcher saw that mine was edited and refused to update it, so whenever I play Highway Tampa I mostly see missing strings :|: Thanks!

[TrooperJac]

Can the mod alter the you were killed by ***** line that appears at in the lower middle of your screen when you are killed - and add by what you were killed

i.e. you were killed by TroopGuy (baur)

[Fingulfin]

Actually, I bet you can! That would be freaking awesome, I'll test it out now!

[Cann0n-Fodder]

He said you can edit the weapon names and customize them with microsoft excel, how do you do that?

[Fingulfin]

I just use Notepad...

BTW, adding what weapon you were killed by doesn't work... I haven't really researched the Strings.csv file much though, so it might be doable.

[Skates]

The nice thing about Excel is that you can sort them and get all the messages grouped together to make editing easier. When you are asking about the kill message saying what your were killed by, you want that added to the message in the center of the screen? It already shows in the upper left but then it could get lost if there is a lot happening. I think it can be done. I'll look into it later this week.

[TrooperJac]

Yes. From to time I will die for some unknown reason. The death screen pops up and by the time I clear it the message in the upper left corner has scrolled off screen.

[D3lit3]

Ok, I know this is probably impossible, but instead of text, is there someway to add pictures of the guns you killed/got killed with? Like in S.T.A.L.K.E.R?

http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n43/bookuh/ss_david_04-05-07_12-49-43_testers_.jpg

Something I noticed is that one of the reactor console failure strings has a misspelling, it says 'corridow', and the mapvote text is misleading, it says 'to be played next', when in fact it should be now. The seccond thing is just annoying as hell for me

That's funny. I have over 190 hours playing titan and never noticed that typo. Anyway, it is fixed and I also changed the map vote to say "has initiated a Map vote to switch to xxxxx now." That should clear up some of the confusion. I edited my original post with updated links for the files. If there are any problems downloading let me know.

[Tortel]

Hell, Ive got nearly 400 hours in titan, and it took somebody else looking at a screenshot for some random bug to point out. And thanks for the map vote error, for some reason if I try and edit it with excel it messes the file up

If you are editing with Excel, when you are done click "Save." It will say "strings.csv may contain features that are not compatible with Unicode Text. Do you want to keep the woorkbook in this format?" Click "Yes." Then when you go to close the file it will ask you if you want to save any changes, click "No." Because you didn't save it in the format it wanted, it promts you to save it when closing but you don't need to as you saved it in the previous step.

[Twetr0x]

I1m using the one without weapon descriptions, and i found some bugs. APM still has a description (This one can be fixed by anyone.) But the other is really annoying for me. Almost every order, text comes with "s. for example. instead of Man Down! Man Down! it writes "Man Down! Man Down!", "Nice, Thanks!", "Go, Go, Go!" has "s on the comrose too. pls help me, because it annoyes me. :(

EDIT: I have fixed it.

[StoneCold313]

I decided to give this a try, i was wonderin why it doesn't work. Opened the file to realize that this wasn't "translated" in my language.

So i basically had to do it all over again... It took few days to fix all the bugs, but i think it's all good now... :D

As far as I understand, sadly no. That is something that would have to be coded into the game. The strings file is something that when the game does a certain thing, it looks at the strings file and that tells it what to say or put on the screen. Thos things are in the strings file because at some point they were either thinking of including them or had them in beta but then when final release came they didn't have them in it. Sad as there are some things that would have been really helpful to have in the game.

You need to wait for a while.

My primary PC is under some repairing, and as soon as it's done i can give it to you.

I did some own modifications to them also. I fixed few what i think were typos, and took all the " things out from the texts.

Alright check your PM i sended u the link.

Just as a side note, there could be some f**k-ups with the colors.

For example in english it could be like this:

enemy spotted. In the blue corridor

And in Finnish it could be like so:

enemy spotted. In the blue corridor

[Skates]

Thank you, I added it to the original post. I also sent a PM to one of the admins to see if he could change the thread name to say that it also includes the Finnish translation. Again, thanks for all the hard work.

It's the same thing as those original files. But when i got it and they weren't translated to my language. So i did it.

So basically if you are from Finland(or have the game in finnish in some weird reason) you can use that file to get those kill messages etc in yellow(see pic i posted above)...

Will this be updated with the new HighWay Tampa Map?

[Skates]

Okay, the update which includes the information for Highway Tampa is done and links have been updated in the first post. If there are any problems downloading or any bugs please send me a PM here or you can e-mail me at Skates@nitefallbrigade.com.

I got no idea what a Localization is....??? Why would I wanna use this?

Can some pls explain to me what is a Localization file and does it improve your gameplay?

[XxSTAM1NAxX]

It modifies the In-Game messages. They will be highlighted with Orange. It makes it easier to see who killed you, with what you have been killed etc. Basically, I hate the Vanilla look and always download the localization if I had to reinstall.

[Shazanelli]

is that it? I dont have a problem seeing who killed me.... lol. so it just changes the colour of the text....? Seems a bit pointless to me.

[XxSTAM1NAxX]

It also changes some of the wordings. Adding, which weapon has killed you and so on. You can just check out some screenshots in the "Whose Dogtags you got.." etc...

Thanks for the update and i love the new nfb 54 man tampa server :)

Glad you like it, I'm kicking around the idea of bumping it up to 64 man, just haven't decided yet.

Also to shaz, it adds in the point value of different things when you get them, like +0.5 for kill assists and +1 for destroying strategic objects. No need to use it if you don't want, just a lot of players like it. Check out Dan's original post for some SS here. (http://www.totalgamingnetwork.com/main/showthread.php?t=18293)

Those "old" localization files do work with the 1.40 patch. Right?

Or do i need to do some editing to the Finnish ones?

I have no idea, since my pc is messed up at the moment, but im working on it...

[Skates]

Tho old ones will work with the Finnish. From what I can tell, the only thing that was added was the names of the CP's on Tampa and the descriptions on the maploading screens. Because I pasted in the whole line there, all the info should be there so no need to make any more edits to the Finnish, just download the new one and use it.:D

[Shazanelli]

So when I download the localization files what do I do with them to install?

Alright good to hear... Im now in a process of finishing up with the new hard drive. I just need to find a way to get some files from the old hard drive(access denied error).

But i should have all the games installed and running today. So i'll check the files out...

So when I download the localization files what do I do with them to install?

copy the CSV file over to your "X:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\mods\bf2142\Localization\" directory, after making a backup of the original (simply rename it).

[Spodeboy]

I'm not at my home computer right now (where the game is installed), but you go to your BF2142 folder, then I believe you put the strings.csv file in mods\localization folder. Anyway look for a localization folder and put it in there.

[Lunien]

nice, much appreciated

omg i can finally find out the story for highway tampa in the loading description!!!



does this also fix the checkpoint names for highway tampa in assault mode? cause the names were about as messed up as the loading description was

[Skates]

Yes it does.

[Namakan]

yay!!

[-=Phizzo=-]

oh and i know i asked about this before in the 2.7 localization thread but that seems to have been deleted and cant find the info i seek :P


what exactly is the "Finnish" Translations? cause i downloaded the 2.7 w/ weapon descriptions and w/o the finnish in it but seeing as i am forced to this time if i want weapon descriptions (no offense :P ) i just want to know what exactly that is

[dontsh000t]

Send me a PM with an e-mail address and I'll e-mail the files to you.

oh sweet, thanks a million! feels really weird without the added details ingame =\

The only language that was modified in the original was the English, so if you were running a different language there would be no change from the original localization to Dan's version. Stonecold went in and modified the Finnish language as well for those of you that run the game in Finnish. If you are using the English, it won't affect you at all. I hope that makes sense.

nope that's alright just wanted some info is all thx for your time!

[davidhye]

hey, i read in the other thread that "everything looks prettier" but i was wondering about performance. Because of my processor, i don't really run the game well so i am wondering is the optimization better/worse/same?

[Twlight]

I really doubt it will have any effect on the performance of the game as it just an slightly edited version of the localisation files.

[davidhye]

oh ok... i just thought since it looks much much prettier - there should be some performance decrease or maybe increase
still worth downloading - thanks for help... gonna install BF2142 again after... half a year break; maybe even more O.o

[katana94]

Nice, Thanks. I'll update the first post with it and ask them to change the Thread Name.

[StoneCold313]

I'll prolly start working with the Finnish ones too...

It can take some time, because i don't have the game even installed... But i'll get them done.. For the 46 people who has downloaded them.. :D

[EnergyNL]

I downloaded the localization file yesterday but it doesn't work...
I have the "strings" file, copied it into C:/EA/BF2142/Mods/Localization and relpaced the old one for the new..

Do I have to rename it or something, I noticed that there are 3 different strings files in the localization map, what am I doing wrong??

[Skates]

That looks right. What do you mean by it doesn't work? There are no changes at all to the in-game messages? Are you talking about the info on the new maps? A little clarification please.

[EnergyNL]

Okay I find the problem.

I downgraded to version 2.7 w/weapon discription and all the information and colouration is back!

Apparantly I'm the only one having this problem... wierd.

[Lolyn]

Cheers for the new localisation, although I have to comment that the entire file is significantly more jumbled than previous versions! Editing it isn't going to be so much fun now :(

Just open it in Excel and sort them. Works like a charm.;)

I didn't realise you could do that. lol

[Crasp]

Is it possible to make #PLAYERNAME2# to have their team colour (blue for same team and red for enemy) in HUD_HUD_KILLEDBY_KILLS and HUD_HUD_KILLEDBY_KILLED?

So it would look more like:
Friend [Weapon] Enemy
Enemy [Weapon] Friend

I tryed few things by myself but couldn't get it work, so i guess it isn't even possible?

[Skates]

No, it is either the default colors or you can change them to orange. You can't change them to anything else.

[secondVISION]

Does this only works if the language of bf2142 is set to English?
Cause I copied it to the right location and I'm not seeing any difference.

The only languages that have been done are the English and then also the Finnish by StoneCold313.
