Playing out Briefing 62, I noticed a text error and maybe oversight by the developers.

In 62_1_brief file:

62_1_Brief_5 box: "including" instead of "icluding".
62_1_Brief_T5 header says "ANGEL", but the small entity-orb is shown in the box. Shouldn't it be renamed so then?
62_1_Brief_8 box: Just wondering. In that box the text covers half the entiy-orb model. How about doing the same thing here as in episode 1? Creating an extra title box? Not much place though, I know...

Sargoth · « **Reply #101 on:** January 09, 2016, 22:58:25 »

Is Angel speaking during that box?

GeoModder · « **Reply #102 on:** January 10, 2016, 00:45:30 »

That she is.

In other news, briefing 63 has been tested and approved.

Sargoth · « **Reply #103 on:** January 10, 2016, 00:48:15 »

Then it is as it should. I'll check the other stuff tomorrow

Edit: Fixed https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20010147/62_1.brief

Edit 2: I just tested my brief in 1440p. I'm not sure what I expected, but I didn't expect it to work flawlessly

GeoModder · « **Reply #104 on:** January 11, 2016, 20:43:03 »

For this redacted briefing, can I assume that "62_1_Brief_TT" reads as "SMALL ENTITY-ORB" at your end? In five languages?

Looks like the repositioning works perfectly then. The game stretches things flawlessly from the 1024x768 'base' resolution.

I found a "small entity-orb" remark earlier in the briefing text file, and copied the translations from it over as well.
Pretty sure the German and French ones are correct. Not so sure if the Hungarian and Italian ones are as they should.

Code: [Select]

	}
END

All in all, I think you solved that issue well.

Reads entity. But can change that

Sargoth · « **Reply #106 on:** January 13, 2016, 15:05:02 »

And.... release.

Heh, sorry. Still check the last one. But it should be fine. Need to grab it again, cause I made some minor changes to it.

Out of curiosity, what did you change in this last one?

Sargoth · « **Reply #110 on:** January 14, 2016, 21:42:53 »

Placements

GeoModder · « **Reply #111 on:** January 20, 2016, 10:16:09 »

I totally forgot to check on the Commander/Captain Veltman (and perhaps Carson) issue.

Should have some time coming weekend.

Sargoth · « **Reply #112 on:** January 21, 2016, 15:48:29 »

Well. Still need to do v2.0 with fixed portraits

And now that CmdrKoenig has done a quick fix for the converter, I (we) can get back to it

Sargoth · « **Reply #113 on:** January 21, 2016, 20:53:58 »

also

Just trying to get a sense of the background asteroids tex

for comparison

Open them in a new window to get the full size

GeoModder · « **Reply #114 on:** January 21, 2016, 22:47:35 »

Still with the vanilla asteroids at the foreground I see?

Yeah, the first and second give a way better 'distance' effect then the vanilla one.

Sargoth · « **Reply #115 on:** January 21, 2016, 23:56:28 »

I redid them. Some of them might need a bit more clusters. But looks much better

Nice work Sargoth, adds to the atmosphere quiet nicely

GeoModder · « **Reply #117 on:** January 23, 2016, 15:48:33 »

Looking good indeed, Sargoth.

Some corporate logo testing below.
Have to redo it of course, the lettering is too vague and fuzzy at places after stretching the logo on the hull plate texture.

Sargoth · « **Reply #118 on:** January 24, 2016, 20:51:40 »

Any idea where we can set movie subtitles? Had one user request to change that so all the subtitles are visible. And it is an optional part of the videos (you can turn them off in the option menu). Gone through the GUI folder. But nothing seems to be make a difference

GeoModder · « **Reply #119 on:** January 24, 2016, 22:12:10 »

No idea on the subtitles either. And I'm definitely with that user, I'd like to be able to read the full text as well. I'll give it a try tomorrow after work.

In other news, Veltman's rank is easily changed by using the same "usteprank" modifier we used for Cromwell for his promotion to vice-admiral in episode 5.
I simply put the modifier in the line under Cromwell's Commodore promotion in the rules of episode 4.
And the Aerospace logo for the ingame Stiletto's is done. Next on that topic are the light corvettes.
Since creating and importing that logo went easily enough, I'd like to give it a try for Orbital Investment as well.

Sargoth · « **Reply #120 on:** January 24, 2016, 22:14:59 »

Cool stuff. Will change that tomorrow

The only thing I found that somewhat enables control of when text will appear sits in universe\texts\MOVIES.
There are 10 config files there, one for each movie. Within, there's commands as on what time during movieplay a text will appear. Now, with those texts that need a second line to show completely (those second lines are not visible with the 16:9 widescreen setting) we could include an extra 'timer' to show it a couple seconds after the first line.

I tried it on the intro movie, and attached the file below. Make a copy of the original, paste the attachment in its place, and see for yourself.

Sargoth · « **Reply #122 on:** January 25, 2016, 19:48:03 »

You're a lifesaver. I'll mess with the these files and see if we can't have subs.

is it compabitable with all languages (including russian)?

I wonder, how easy/hard would it be to add additional languages to the game, if we look past editing in the text in the text files. Like setting it up so that people can select language and the likes?

Sargoth · « **Reply #124 on:** February 10, 2016, 12:38:25 »

Seems he could run the the game with just the boxes changed and the game loaded fine.

I guess I'll have to detail that out a bit more in the readme
