Post by Tom S. Fox »

Hello, guys.

I am interested in translating the game into German and was told to ask here.

Sorry, we've got a lot on our plate at the moment :P - organizing and recording the voice pack, fixing bugs, handling publicity, etc.

And the translation script is not just a matter of pressing a button in the AGS Editor - by default, it misses a lot of special items like mouseovers, text on graphics, etc. Plus the format is not very stable against future code changes. So I'm analyzing the game's source, keeping track of special cases, developing custom tools and formats that would give more context to the lines, help us later correctly map them back into the game, etc. And on the side, working a full time job.

But we are pretty close now :P

Why is it missing mouseovers?

We're using custom properties for that and they don't appear in the TRS file.
