Akabur Games


Re: Akabur Games

Im already hitting a snag so I might not be able to do it, I have to copy the whole text as it is to preserve the formatting and clipboard wont copy all of it at once for me to paste into google translate so if I do this its going to be translating line by line.

Which begs the question, why does it take him 5 days to do 1 if he draws fairly fast, unless he has some kind of injury to his hand that he hasn't disclosed.

Indeed. I think the "5 days" is an excuse in preparation of his fans getting disappointed by how few new material there will be in PT:G after Akabur has been working on it for a year or so. A while ago he said "2 days". Now it's suddenly 5.

Yes, he draws fast, and draws well. As I said, he is talented. But giving him loads of money isn't helping him actually doing it.
 
Re: Akabur Games

Yeah, it works just fine doing that. You don't even have to delete the rpyc files usually. Every time they untranslate the item names I go in and modify them so I'm not guessing based on the price, and add my loop to make books finish in 1-2 sittings. Well, I say that, but I've rather given up on their version for now. They did something with the last check-in that reverted a bunch of dialog to Russian, and the game crashes now every time you click on anything in the wardrobe menu.

Edit: I wouldn't advise doing this much unless you're going to contribute to their project. All they have to do is change methodologies or make an alteration to one of the files you've modified, and you have to go through the hassle of merging to pick up their changes.

There's not much point in trying it out again whenever they update, because it'll just be broken in some different way. Maybe in another month or two they'll have gotten it back to stable.
 
Re: Akabur Games

I wont have the internet long enough to contribute but I want at least a playable copy in full English. But if I can finish at least a translation for this version then I might be able to upload it to MEGA and post it here so people have something to play until they start translating correctly.


EDIT: I have been translating for 15 minutes now and im not even through 1/4 of the first favor. This feels like a full time job already and the sad part is that im not even doing the harder job of actually making the game.

Yeah, having everything as literal strings in the scripts isn't the best way to ease translations. Although, I'm not sure games exactly lend themselves to simple solutions like string dictionary files and such. Certainly this one doesn't, since the die is already set, so to speak, and Ren'py doesn't seem to be the right tool for that sort of thing.
 
Re: Akabur Games

Well I have already started so I fully intend to finish it. I had to start over after I got through with the first favor. Notepad messed up the format apparently so I had to download Scite to try again. So far the format is staying where it should so maybe it will get done finally.
 
Re: Akabur Games

I cant believe it, I just lost 4 hours of work because I didnt think to save every once in awhile. Storm just came through and all it took was one lightning strike to make the power cut out for a second and there it all went. I need to find a faster way to translate text without losing the formatting.
 
Re: Akabur Games

Oh dear god, I just got to one of the new things in the Russian version and the WHOLE page is in Russian. How do you mod a game that was made in native English and then turn around and add in events that are in Russian? Im going to be working all night at this rate.
 
Re: Akabur Games

^ Game wasn't made in english, Akabur made it in russian and someone (maybe himself) translated it.

AFAIK
 
Re: Akabur Games

My bad, I forgot this late at night that Akabur is Russian.


EDIT: This is going to really hurt, I just spent 8 hours translating 1 personal favor that was about 500 lines, I just opened the main scripts.rpy and saw that it is almost 6,000 lines of code. I REALLY hope that if I can finish this that I am able to upload it so that more people can enjoy it. Because I am already ruining the game for myself by seeing everything that can be said and done and translating 10's of thousands of lines of code for just me to play it is utterly insane.

Re: Akabur Games

For anyone that is interested I have been translating the Russian Witch Trainer non stop for the last 14 hours and so far I have dug pretty far into it, I am going to continue for as long as I can so that I can hopefully release it here by tonight with all of the new content fully translated to English. The only reason I am working such long hours is because my internet is due to be shut off and I really don't want to do all this work for just me.

Cool, thanks dude. If only Akabur could work as fast as you :D
 
Re: Akabur Games

Well I keep gamers hours and I really want to see this finished. I know a lot of people are disappointed with Akabur's version and from the digging I have been doing on this version it just looks amazing. The Russians added mini skirts, a camera, a newsletter, express delivery option for the catalog, finished the tutoring, and lots of other stuff.

Thanks for being so awesome! Do you have a time or release you're aiming for :)?

I'd rather not do this, but the wardrobe option crashes when you click on anything. Unless you manage to debug that, the feature is in the game in name only until they start checking in some bug-fixes. I've not seen the camera or newsletter. I think they're deeper into Daphne's plot than I've ever gotten because the damn game keeps crashing randomly. They didn't finish the tutoring. They added one event where you grab her tits. There's no new art, and the event has been there for months, untranslated and retranslated like the rest of the text. After that, there's a bunch of bullshit about buying books, and a "Nerd Potion" that doesn't go anywhere yet.

These are facts. I'm not telling you to stop or anything, but you're doing a machine translation mod of a broke-ass modded version that's still heavily in development. I don't think you'll be pleased with the results and the amount of time required when the game is still largely unplayable despite all the effort you're putting in to make it semi-comprehensible.
 
Re: Akabur Games

Im actually using a version that was posted here yesterday that has a lot of the major bugs worked out of it and im able to play it without any problems. Also I am not machine translating this. I have been copy and pasting line by line into google translate and back into the code since 5:45pm for me and it's now 9:45am. I have had to learn to proofread broken Russian and then make sense of the garbled mess that occasionally pops into google translate because I am taking some liberties with the script if the translation that I get does not make sense. Also I made some things a bit more vulgar in the right places. Like cock is used instead of penis. It just made the game sound clinical.

This is the version from early yesterday morning, I worked through it, fixing a few things, and haven't had it crash on me. Hermione won't put on shorter skirts at all though, no matter what her whoring level is (they changed the variable whoring to hermi.whoring FYI). Might be a gameplay thing I'm not aware of though.

This one? I don't know what bugs he fixed, but this version was apparently downloaded before they introduced the bug with the wardrobe in the last check-in, since it still has the bug that causes Hermione to walk around in nothing but panties by default. It is a bit better base to work from, I suppose. The github version this is based on had a fair number of unexpected crashes in it, but at least it didn't crash the minute you clicked on any clothing option.
 
Re: Akabur Games

Yeah that's the version that I am working from. She doesn't walk around in her panties when I play so hopefully it will behave, also i'm hoping the skirt thing was just a problem with understanding the requirements to make her do it. From the code I have seen you need to get some pretty high marks to make her do it. Im also not sure if it's only available in new game + because I saw the way it is setup. Looks like you need the voucher and then give her the mini skirt before the option appears.
 
Re: Akabur Games

I still have all but the first personal favors, all of the public favors, the newspaper content, and the secret room left to translate and then I can post it. I even have the main menu looking beautiful now. And no more having to click languages to make it English since i'm basically translating the Russian part of the game.
