Game ends suddenly

[NPaul]

Hi, Great work,

I'm new here, I've just downloaded and installed the latest version, it ends suddenly after finishing the fist mission on the first campaign, I've tried to load the saved game later but instantly the game exits to Windows desktop.

Please help me, also I would like to know if it's possible to play the game on windowed mode and if there are any translations to spanish available some where

God bless you

Maybe you should try to finish 1st mission again, or to reinstall the game. If that wont work, you should download the installer again, maybe the one you have is corrupted or something. About the translation, I know that some localisation existed in original version of the game, altough i dont think there isnt any kind of translation availible right now.

And welcome to the wz2100 resurrection community!

I will assume you are on Windows XP in the following:
- Open , eg. from the Startmenu
- In the Warzone 2100 folder you will find a "config" file, which you will open in a text editor
- Search for "fullscreen" and set it to 0 ("fullscreen=0")

may be named differently depending on the language you use. Eg. it is "Eigene Dateien" in german versions.

and if there are any translations to spanish available some where

If you understand english and can write spanish, we are seeking for your help in exactly this matter!
Version 2.1 will be fully translatable in an easy way. We are seeking for translators, who are willing to bring Warzone 2100 to the languages they speak.

I have prepared you a template file for a spanish translation (attached).
You can download PoEdit to open and translate it. Then just send it back to one of us (or attach it to your forum post) when you are finished.
You can of course also open and translate it with a regular texteditor, it is just a matter of convenience.

The texts in the game may of course change with time. These are generated from revision 3593 of the sourcecode.
So you may want to check them again from time to time to see if anything needs to be adapted or new texts need to be translated.

Ill translate the game to Italian as soon as version 2.1 is out. You can count on it.

Hey. Try different save slots, this happened to me a lot before I figured it out . My safest slot I use is the last one, bottom right corner.

I think there shouldn't be any difference between the various slots.

Maybe that was just the problem I had. There may be a % chance it won't work, but we can trust our Devs to fix this in the next release?

i can translate in romanian, if any1 interrested

[NPaul]

It'll be a pleausure to translate the game. I can also translate it to French if you wish, I'll only need more time.

Hi again, Just a little question: The text you want me to translate is only the one between the quotation marks?

God bless you

#: src/multiplay.c:741
msgid "The host has left the game!"
msgstr ""

The part with the #: is telling you where in the sourcecode (or script) this string was found.
The msgid is the original, english string.
The msgstr is where your translation should go.

So, eg, a finished german translation would look like this:

#: src/multiplay.c:741
msgid "The host has left the game!"
msgstr "Der Host hat das Spiel verlassen!"

If you use any kind of special characters (non ASCII), you should save the file as UTF-8 if somehow possible.
Generally, editing is probably easier with PoEdit, since it has some level of automation.

Dutch has some translations here & there already (by me, but I'm too lazy to do more than the easy sentences/words/terms).

You can grab it here, improve it and send it back to us if you wish: http://svn.gna.org/svn/warzone/trunk/po/nl.po

You can either use a plain text editor and edit these files by hand (as DevUrandom explains above). Or you can use a special editor for the purpose. For example poedit. Make sure to use _at_least_ version 1.3.8 (or later of course) though, as that preserves msgctxt entries, which is a feature about gettext (the name of the translation system) we use.

So... do I have to wait for 2.1 to begin my translation? You told it could be translated in a better way, what will be the differences?
