idem with missing intro

[BarryB]

I'm seeing an illegible text issue:



Plus, the last line is duplicated? In game, text seems legible.

[CFou!]

Thanks.

Fixed Line too long

no problem with RTG here it's purhaps another problem with configuraiton (JIT mode in game?)

[BarryB]

All my testing is in WinUAE, so WB 1.3 is the one i'm using as everything is OK in that config!

Here's a tidied up UK text, lets' see what other English speakers think:

§
Daylight quickly gave way to the darkness of evening and for the third
time in a week, Richard would arrive home late. This simple thought gave
him wings and the boy began to run in the green clearing. Suddenly,
almost without realizing it, he found himself on the ground with his
foot stuck in a hole. He started squirming, trying to free himself but
the more he moved the more the hole widened until suddenly, he was
sucked down into the dark. It was like a nightmare he couldn't awaken from.
An unknown force pulled him down and every effort to resist only made
the situation worse. And there he was, floating in the void until he landed
with a thud! The pain was such that he lost consciousness and when he
opened his eyes he found himself in a forest and saw an old man, staring
at him, Silent...

§
"Who are you?" Asked Richard. "Why am I here?".
"I am Golam, Guardian of the Life Force. You, Richard, have been sent
to help me. The Demon is destroying my world and right now is winning
the battle and exhausting my forces. The Demon has taken possession of
six of the seven gems that surround the Life Force. Deprived of their
power, the six Guardians have been captured. Now only my gem is
left, but I am very weak." said Golam, showing him a small purple gem.
"Your job is to find the six missing gems and bring them back
to the Tree of Life. Then you will have to defeat the Demon."
"But why me?" Richard stuttered. "Because you are the Chosen One. The
prophecy says that the demon will be defeated by a stranger who sees
two lights." "But I don't see two lights." said Richard.
"The gray eye sees the dark side of life, the green eye sees kindness.
You alone can restore balance." said Golam.

§
Everyone had always laughed at Richard for the different colour of his eyes,
but the boy had never cared. Until now! "Look, I just want to go home."
The old man gave him a penetrating look: "You can't go back, you only
have a few days and my spirit will always be with you."
After these words, Golam disappeared ...

thanks

can you modify directly source code of English intro bank?
here:
https://eab.abime.net/attachment.php...6&d=1585844492
(it will save me from making a copy error; I am French and do not master English!)

For information, i completly rework Chapter 1 code to use external TXT bank for translation too.

20% of the 3 banks are done, i will be more easy to fix quick bad google translation

Attached fixed an compiled new text bank for FR/UK

sound bank for 4 win section and chapter 1 for correction. (60% bank of chapter 1 done)

[manossg]

What an exciting project, pity I cannot help!

Thanks in advance, guys, looking forward to that!

[BarryB]

Text looks OK, i'm sure we can tidy it up a bit more regards line length.

In the game itself, some text needs altering so where is the ingame text stored and i'll look at that! Is it possible to use 'double click' to exit the screens quicker when the arrow pointer is on an exit, it feels like a 'walking' simulator so far

Figured out how to 'pick up' stuff, walk your character to the object then 'right click' and hold the button down then 'left click' to pick stuff up! However, when I try to 'use' something from my inventory I get a blank dialogue box appear?

[CFou!]

>when I try to 'use' something from my inventory I get a blank dialogue
it's bug of the game ==>i'll try to fix it (message displayed only one time)

but chapter 1 can be fonoshed without problem in french and english

tomorrow i will post source code of english bank of chapter 1 for verification (80% finished)

but warning for intro text you have use some too longer sentence, so i have modifyed it.

I already test chapter 1 with current bad english translation but all test length are good.

so warning to the maximum length of each sentence when you will modify another texts

While I could modify the SA_INTRO_UK_TXT directly, I'll wait to hear back.

@demoniac: Would be better if you put your edits in bold to make it easier to see what you've changed. I'm trying to stick as close to the layout of the original as possible, so where a sentence starts/ends, so does the translation! The bit that says: "the boy had never cared -- until now!" could be written: "the boy had never cared... until now!".

@CFOU!: Yes, I thought some lines might be too long that's why I said it could be tidied up!

it will be necessary to be more careful with the bankk of the game, because it is necessary to test to see the error if the text is too long (in general persistent graphic bug in the interphace)

[CFou!]

here are all the texts of chapter 1 have been outsourced to a bank (the victory sequence remains (tomorrow))

I have corrected the problem of displaying certain texts when reloading and / or using the option.

In fact, the problem was happening because I don't have the same version of the E compiler as the game programmer.
the game coder must have used a compiler bug when erasing the strings (not erased in memory) while the new compiler actually erases them so some text could only be displayed once.

Normaly I have corrected them all but if you find others please let me know.

Can you read again the source of the English txt bank for episode 1?
