Fledgling Fyora dvoran Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Hi, I'm an Italian fan of the Avernum series. I would like to translate this games, and I found the text in the .dat files in the Data directory. Can I edit this files with WardPad or another text editor or I need some specific editor?

Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 You'd need something that could import the text and then save it again as a .dat file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora dvoran Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 ok, for example? I try to use Hex Workshop, but if I add only a byte in the file, in the game begin to appear strange character. I'd like to know if I can edit and add what I want, because in italian the phrases are longer than in english. I had problem in translating the object like bread, cloak, ecc. What will happen when I'll translate the speeches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Well, if you can understand English, I don't see why you couldn't just leave it alone. But, if you want to know something...*points to his sig*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Your sig points the way to Google, which is probably the last place you'd want to look for something. If you did manage to sift your way through porn, sites pretending not to be porn, sites offering "FREE PORN DOWNLOADS" as long as you click in a certain place and useless sites in seemingly lost languages, and actually found what you were looking for, you'd probably find that the page no longer exists. Google sucks, but then again, is that just google, or the internet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know what horrible english is before you have read french mails composed in english. When ever I try to read their english I soon find myself with a de-crypter and thousands of big question marks flying above my head, then I copy their french text (In most mails I received from someone in France they have it both in english and in french.) and translate it with babelfish. At that point I go all "AHA!" and then I suddenly find out that he/she was talking about rules and not about riding clans (I still have no idea why they say "Let's ride this game!" instead of "Let's go for it!").

Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I doubt ".dat editor" would lead to a bunch of porn sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
