If people want to make translations of these texts, i could offer gameclients in other languages.

who would want to spend the time...

btw how u do this? i guess the strings in cs2d are compressed by something so just using strings doesn't work

can u do this for the dedi server too?

I might help, but this is a LOOOOT of text so it will take a LOOOOT of time respectively. But how to deliver the translation to you? In what form?

Welp, it's not as severe as I thought - many among the strings are program strings like error codes and stuff. So it'll take a little less time than I thought. Yay for Russian CS2D.

You could hand in files like:


1
2
3
4
5
[original]=[new]

Affermative/Roger=D'accord!
She's gonna Blow!=Kumbajanoga
Failed to join=loser

Then it will work for every version, not just b0.1.1.9

cs2d DOES support unicode, so russian shouldn't be a problem.
One restriction is that the length of the new text must ALWAYS be shorter or equal to the length of the original text.

Oh, well I copied what you had there in pastebin and just started changing strings into Russian keeping the string numbers. Would that be acceptable?

Woah, no one said anything about the length of string. It's often impossible to do that (make the new string the same length). What do?

DC does NOT allow modifying the executable (which you propably had to do)

At least he didn't do it for hacking purposes, I think.

Actually, the strings are stored within a specific segment of the executable, so it doesn't actually require modification to extract.

The OP sounds like he means well, so we should at least give him a chance.

That's bullshit, it has to be:

"Vind Servers, Afsluiten, Opties, Bewerken, Help, Vrienden, Server Starten"

BlitzMax strings are stored like this:

{DWORD * classpointer,
DWORD typeIdentifier,
DWORD length,
wchar_t * text
}

I searched for the pattern [*classpointer,typeIdentifier] and found all the strings this way.

Well it's good for that, but when talking about Russian for example it's impossible due to the string length restriction. Unfortunately I don't think it'll be possible.

this might lead to problems and changing the binary is also not allowed at all.

I know that you just want to help but I don't recommend to do that.
