Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

[Jack Rackham]

I can do 5) and 6) if you could do 4). I'll make the interface_strings.txt changes.

1: Both are needed. "They are really heavy - one set is enough!" is for something else.

Yes for a small basket with cannonballs, I think.

 

[Jack Rackham]

Thanks @AkrimalS for finding things!

4) Since I don't have a ship, it doesn't show up in the Rys Bloom dialog. Maybe we can do a different dialogue if you don't have a ship?

Easy enough, and it doesn't even involve adding new dialog text because some existing text can easily be reused in case "First time":

            if (GetCharacterShipID(PChar) != SHIP_NOTUSED_TYPE_NAME)
            {
                d.Text = DLG_TEXT[0] + GetMyAddressForm(NPChar, PChar, ADDR_CIVIL, false, false) + DLG_TEXT[1];
                Link.l1 = DLG_TEXT[2];
                Link.l1.go = "Exit";
                Link.l2 = DLG_TEXT[3] + GetMyName(Pchar) + DLG_TEXT[4];
                Link.l2.go = "node_2";
            }
            else
            {
                d.Text = DLG_TEXT[0] + GetMyAddressForm(NPChar, PChar, ADDR_CIVIL, false, false) + ".";
                Link.l1 = DLG_TEXT[50];
                Link.l1.go = "exit";
            }

If you have a ship, use the original dialog. If not, Rys simply says "Hello, Mister." You reply "Hello. And goodbye! I'm busy."

As well as fixing early "Woodes Rogers", this works for a player who is insane enough to go into town to the shipyard, sell his ship, then go to the port without first buying another. (Or berth his ship, which is how I tested it.)

 

[Jack Rackham]

Here are my fixes. Also another new location "Tailor alley" added to interface_strings.

 

[AkrimalS]

All fixes seem to be working.

Here are my fixes.

Is it possible to make it turn towards the ship on the locator instead of looking straight ahead?

 

[AkrimalS]

In a brothel on Nevis, Pyle doesn't sit on benches.

 

[Grey Roger]

You have presumably decided to try to gamble or drink with one of the characters sitting at a table. Depending on whether your gambling/drinking partner is on "sit1" or "sit3", you will be moved to either "sit11" or "sit2".

In "RESOURCE\Locations\Inside\Largetavern\LT_L.gm", several "sit" locators are in group "candles", including "sit2" and "sit11". That prevents random characters from using them, so you won't have someone sitting on your lap when you're supposed to be talking to Morys Biddulph or Roger Hayes. Quest case "alc" in "quests_common.c" therefore sends you to either "candles\sit2" or "candles\sit11".

@Jack Rackham: the storyline changes "QC_Brothel" to use locator file "LT_l_JRHbr". I'm going to guess that this still has those locators in group "sit", which means case "alc" sends you to a non-existent locator. I'd suggest removing the four permanent table sitters because the general drinking quest may lead to an ending which conflicts with the story, and the general gambling quest may lead to the "Girl Won in a Card Game" quest which could also conflict with the story. Perhaps put the sitters back and change the brothel to use "LT_L.gm" when the story has finished with the brothel.

Sure, I'll try to make Pyle turn to the ship.

Thanks, I'll remove the four permanent sitters.

 

[Jack Rackham]

I've made those two small fixes but will upload later as I have a feeling there could be more...

 

[AkrimalS]

It's a little strange that I'm being chased by brothel guards, and I can walk back out the door. You either need to write a script where Pyle walks out of the door and gets ambushed, or just close the door.

 

[Jack Rackham]

I have to play it again to see in which sequence this happens.
Looking at the pictures it seems to be the (upper) back door to the terrace...?

 

[Jack Rackham]

Ok, he can walk back out to the terrace (and in again) but there are no enemies there (at this moment).
I don't see any inconsistency here.

a script where Pyle walks out of the door and gets ambushed

That's exactly what happens the next time Pyle and Caroline go there.

 

[AkrimalS]

I can talk to Celestine Maupassant and hire a girl for the night. It will also take away my reputation. She probably needs an additional dialogue at this point.

Ok, that was of course not the idea (at that pont). I'll fix something.

 

[AkrimalS]

If you don't take monk's outfits from Blowhorn, for some reason, monks don't appear on top immediately, but only when you re-enter.

AkrimalS's Video - Mar 26, 2026

I've attached a save, if necessary.
The monks also don't appear if I walk in the door in front of the store owner. We need to close the door until they get there.

 

[Jack Rackham]

I have fixed the Mistress dialog and the Coastbrothers not showing up. The last one was even worse: even if Pyle had bought new outfits
(but not yet changed clothes) he could sneak up too early to the room upstairs. With no "monks" there.

I have also fixed two other things:
When Blowhorn leaves he walked right through the counter.


And the background wasn't covering the black completely. Because we are higher up than normal.

 

[AkrimalS]

Is it possible to change the name for the other monks? For the leader the translation is correct, but it is not the same for others.
"PROGRAM\Storyline\WoodesRogers\characters\init\TempQuest.c"
Do I need to change these lines starting with // Brother of the Coast 2? And also add this to "RESOURCE\INI\TEXTS\RUSSIAN\characters_names.txt"?
ch.old.name = "Coastbrother"; - ch.old.name = "CoastbrotherM";
ch.name = TranslateString("", "Coastbrother"); - ch.name = TranslateString("", "CoastbrotherM");

 

[Jack Rackham]

Do I need to change these lines starting with // Brother of the Coast 2?

No, it was just a note for me.

"CoastbrotherM"

I don't find that name in my two character init files.

 

[Grey Roger]

What is wrong with the translations for other monks? In "1774616531602.png" I see two words, presumably your translation for "Coastbrother". In "1774616516675.png" I see the same two words with another in front, which I guess to be the translation for "Leading".

 

[AkrimalS]

"Leading Coastbrother" should translate to "Лидер Берегового Братства" - that's right.
The rest of the "Coastbrother" monks should be translated "Береговой Брат".
So I changed the name "Coastbrother" to "CoastbrotherM" for the others so it would translate correctly.
