Amiga Biing! English

[Shoonay]

... 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?

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]

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]

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]

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]

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

[Shoonay]

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

[TCD]

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]

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...

[TCD]

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]

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

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]

Nice project guys! I´ve been tempted to play this game before, but German is not my strong.

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...
