Evil Islands lost in astral

[Usam]

I will look into attachment.

In the meantime, you can try following approach:

1. Goto http://svn.gipat.org/trac/EiEdit/wiki/Downloads and download EiEdit_1_8_2_13.exe
   
2. Before install you have to change Windows language for non-unicode programs to "Russian (Russia)". (Otherwise you will have wrong characters instead of cyrillic. They should look the same as in my video.)
   
3. Then try to follow the instruction that I've prepared for you: https://streamable.com/vzmm5
   

If you have any questions, please feel free to write here

You sir are boss , very clean instructions there

I had already figured it out by trial, I changed Unicode to Russian,then used EI editor to unpack texts.res and then I edited files with notepad then repacked them again,

but really those instructions are way better than keep opening each file in notepad, that was exhausting me.

I am going to replace what's already found in English in "the curse" to "lost in astral", then I will translate the conversations using google translator and try to figure out sensible conversations since translators are garbage in giving the correct meaning, then I will release it over here once I am done

By the way, is it possible to translate menus? I mean the ones found at the start of game or these are hard coded images? I am unable to found their corresponding files in texts.res

also is there anything else to be translated out of texts.res? videos for example although they are very few could use subtitles, let me know anyway.

Looks like I've posted the previous answer too late..  :lol:
The briefed2 works quite differently.
This is a Microsoft Access application (MS Access is a part of the MS Office).
When you click on RunMe.bat it starts MDB file (usually MS Access should be called to open it, which I suspect is not installed on your PC). Therefore you see the closing window.

If you edit RunMe.bat file as follows, you will see an error message:

Код:

start BriefEd.mdb
pause
exit

The briefed2 contains a complete database of the game "Evil Islands" with all pers/briefings and quest items.
This tool is intended for use by scenarist so they can "easily" design briefings.
it is possible to export briefings afterwards (replace existing with changed one) to text.res.[attachment=2029]

The main problem in your case is that there is no way to import resources from "Lost in Astral" into this database.

Thanks for clarifying, well that's not needed in the current time since I am only doing the translation part but its useful to know its use.
