Amiga Biing! English

Shoonay · 18 March 2009, 13:30

... is not even close to getting started, since we still believe (at least I do

) there must be an English PC version somewhere, but Don Adan is working on the german version's coding for quite some time now, along with his german translator.

So, here we be needing a few betatesters to test the stability, integrity and translation correctness of the awfully painful installation proggie that is available in english now and should work with both (ECS & AGA) german versions of the game.
Anyone?

Boo Boo · 18 March 2009, 13:58

Great I look forward to playing Biing!
Seems youve been involved in a few translation can I ask how you do this??

Since I lack any programing skills, all I can do is type in words

That's how UBEK was created, a simple text file read with a hex editor.
In case of Kajko & Kokosz and Biing here, it's Don Adan who reassembles the files to a easly-viewable format, so I can see the messages from game among all the assemblers directives, and replace them with those translated.

Hope this gets going !!

Better to start doing Biing! "Black Label" instead

Hehe, second that

Best of luck with the translation Shoonay and Don Adam

Hope you can manage it even without the English PC version

Shoonay · 20 March 2009, 01:16

Thanks guys, but I'm the last person you should thank, Don Adan is doing all the coding and his "mysterious german translator" is doing all the translating.

So, like, uhmmm... anyone care for a beta-test-drive-installation-thingy?

Slayer · 20 March 2009, 04:10

I'd have a bash but I currently have no older Amiga System setup at all.

Only got time for SAM in my life at the moment

Sure

You know only WinUAE here, but would like to have a look. Maybe I can even spot a translation problem (being German and stuff

).

Shoonay · 20 March 2009, 11:31

Sure, WinUAE, MacUAE, UAE, PSPUAE and whetever other versions it should work, we're after the typos not the system

I'll PM you the details in a few moments...

Cool

Will have a first lookie when I'm home laters then

Shoonay · 20 March 2009, 11:38

Ah, good, then I'll have time to write all the YOU MUST NEVER DO THIS! and PAY ATTENTION TO THAT! points.

Shoonay · 20 March 2009, 12:07

Mail sent to you TCD, thanks for participating in the betatesting.
Hopefully the installation process will be... fast enough.

TheCyberDruid · 20 March 2009, 12:14

Argh, don't tell me I have to install it from modified floppies

No really I don't think I want to spend another 40 minutes just installing this game

No preinstalled version around?

Shoonay · 20 March 2009, 12:19

I dunno, but that's the problem here, I'd like you to check the installation process here...
Sure, Don Adan said something about merging all the files into a one huge single archive but me no comprende...

TheCyberDruid · 20 March 2009, 12:29

Ah well, I'll have a look then, but if I manage to install the sucker again, don't expect me to share it

It's mine, all MINE then

Shoonay · 20 March 2009, 12:32

All I'm after, are the suggestion/corrections and typos, Mr. Sméagol, Sir.
Honest!

Okay, I will believe you... for now

I really hope that it's not the same pain in the ass as the normal installer

Yoto · 20 March 2009, 21:11

Nice project guys! I´ve been tempted to play this game before, but German is not my strong.
How can i join in?

You just did by posting this post, and that means you've accepted the rules, plus you're willing to pay meh 100$!

Ekhem...

Right...

Back on earth again... So, you can join Yoti, sure, but we don't have much to offer yet, only the installation proggie to betatest for you, the game itself is still on the drawing board...

Shoonay · 30 March 2009, 12:12

How's the installation process going TCD?

Don Adan on Biing again, needing help, this time from a friendly person who knows both german and english language.

I've attached an LHA archive here, please check for the following:
1. is the translation correct?
2. does every line containing text end with the "$" sign? (assembler requirement)
3. notice the "_" sign used in some words in which it should not be

Please notify us here and correct them, thank you

PS: We are still looking for the English version of the game or the Danish equivalent called "Halloj! Pa Riget"...

TheCyberDruid · 30 March 2009, 12:38

Oh, the install went okay

TBH I might have not checked every sentence very properly though...

Will have a look at your file now

TheCyberDruid · 30 March 2009, 13:28

Okay, seems like every '$' is in there and the translation seems to be okay too. Would be cool if someone else could check it again (and more thoroughly

).
P.S. : The last text file made me very hungry

Shoonay · 30 March 2009, 13:41

Great, thanks

Would be nice if some other person also checked it, just to be ultra-sure, but no worries, still plenty of work before this one and we can still correct things even in the final stage

...any news, any progress, or is this project dead?

Still alive, but english graphics (~100 images) must be converted.

AndersHP · 07 August 2012, 15:59

What's the status on this project?
Will it be available for preinstalled WHDLoad for real Amigas when finished?

New WT cracktro must be created. Some tests must be done.
This is HD game only, WHDLoad is not necessary. Perhaps it will be available as update for original german version.

kriz · 12 August 2012, 17:09

Ahh good to see this project still alive !!

hipoonios · 12 August 2012, 19:03

Wish there was an English version for the Amiga. Same with Wet: The Sexy Empire.
