Edit .w3strings for British English


Recommended Posts

 

This tool be more usable, if you add options like import, export and replace for .xml format. This is not usable...

Ah well, I'm not forcing you to use it, and not stopping you from making your own version. I just hacked it together in two days, so I guess you can do the same.
Forget the haters - you've done something that no one else has been able to do yet - export the files back. I don't have my machine yet and won't have it for another six weeks, but I'll keep looking back at progress.

 

Hell, I'll give you a donation on Nexus Mods for you to continue work on this, since there are several major languages around the world (and not just British English) which this game could be translated into. I do hope you continue improving this, since my own programming prowess isn't in Windows, but in OS X/iOS and Objective-C.

 

I do have a few suggestions:

 

  • As mentioned above, an import/export function to XML or plain text would be perfect, so that we can save our work or work on it elsewhere.
  • Perhaps the ability to link with online dictionaries that do provide databases, such as Oxford Dictionaries, to make spell-checking easier.
  • A find-and-replace-all function. I assume the current feature finds text, but you have to replace them one-by-one.
  • A more intuitive way to find out exactly where each line of text comes from the game so that we don't make strange changes that do not suit the context.
Two questions:

 

  • do you need to use the Mod Kit to uncook the files first? Or does it work directly with the .w3strings files?
  • What is the extent to which you can modify text? Can you edit all the GUI elements, including items (and their descriptions), Glossary (Bestiary and Characters) entries, quest logs, and dialogues? If you can, that's excellent...

Alrighty then, I hacked together a little application to edit the strings, it's far from perfect but it /might/ do the job.
