RPG [Old Huntsman] Defiler Wings

Re: Defiler Wings

No, I continued to develop a Russian version of the game.

Also, I feel something deeply incorrect in the existing of two different versions of the game in the different languages. In my opinion, in the game must be an oppotunity to switch languages. The current game does not support such structure. Also, at this momet I do not know how to do this. It is much more complicated method, it will inevetabily lead to a lot of bugs, dut in long time range this desicion is much more better.

I am no expert on Ren'py but from what I saw of the source code for the English release for versio 1.0 most of the translatable text was in a limited set of files
data.py
girls_data.py
mobs_data.py
and help in a set of arrays. It should be possible to create Russian and English versions of the arrays and select the appropriate one depending on your language selection

The fine detail of this I am unsure about as I am not that familiar with python.

Still, it is up to you as to how you are comfortable if you are willing to spend the time and effort to work on adding a language system to the game.

Re: Defiler Wings

Update.
I have tried to study the question of translation and have seen, that there is no need to invent the bicycle (O-ou.. is there such aphorism in English language?). Ren'Py has a good sistem of translation. I shall try to merge english version 1.0 and russian version 1.4.1, and then... hm...
*I really do not know how to translate russian aphorism "There it will be seen"*

Re-invent the wheel is the English term.

Re: Defiler Wings

Excited that someone decided to keep developing this one. Good luck!

Oh, thank you. Such things are very hard to translate.

Thank you. At this moment the main problem is not in developing, but in translation.

Good news: Ren'Py has good instruments for translation .rpy files. Bad news: much of text (much. Really MUCH!) is in the .py files. It is need to reorganize the code, I gess.
And it is yet merging, not the translation itself
Maybe it is worth to use google-translate? It seems to me that it's quality is quite satisfied.

Yours actually held up surprisingly well. I understood your meaning immediately.

Re: Defiler Wings

I can help proofread english text to make sure it sounds right. I can't promise I'll be fast or reliable though.

Re: Defiler Wings

Hello.
Because Old Huntsman stopped the development of this game, I decided to continue it. Now I released 4 patches. People say that the game became better than it has been before (now I can not post URLs to other sites, but if you wish, you can search this game on pornolab.net).

Oh yes, there is a one small circumstance. Old Huntsman is from Russia. I am from Russia too. The language of the game is Russian.

So, as any author, I want more people to get to know my game. But...
But my English is quite poor, and the volume of text is quite big. So, if I do it myself, it will be not better than google translation.

That's why I need help of native speaker as a literature redactor. Without help I can not handle it. Without help it is pointless even to start.

You're continuing the game!? With more sex!? That's awesome news! :-D

Re: Defiler Wings

I already did a translation with the QSP Tools and Yandex.
More info here: http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/showthread.php?t=30430

I am not sure about how compatible my method is with the Ren'Py own translation features. But if you do use it you only have to edit the dictionaries and do some minor editing after(there is some formatting issues with font tags on certain characters that screw up some words,also some words are nonsensical for some reason that I don't get).
It wouldn't be hard to update the English version from the Russian version with this method(even on your own). Of course that would mean extra hassle for the user with two versions going around.

Re: Defiler Wings

How do I get a lot of gold in the game? I've been looking for resources, but after the first few times of razing villages and towns, I can't seem to get anything used for crafting. Is there something I'm missing?

The yandex says that the file has exceeded download limit or something and for pornolab, it keeps blocking my attempts to log in to download.

Install the 'Yandex disk' program, copy it to your folder, then you can download it yourself.

You can then uninstall Yandex disk if you like.

Re: Defiler Wings

visiting the city (in human form) and attacking the jewelry is usually a good way to make money.

Just remember that one of the loot-options gets you money, and the other gets you materials for making your own jewelry.

You can visit in human form? Oh and is there a way to modify the modification points? In free mode, 8 is a bit low for doing anything.

Yes, I believe you need to have some magic available (ie a point free, not a spell)

The points in free mode are based on achievements when playing in the campaign mode, like getting the largest body size and so on

Is there a way to modify the files to get more points?

You can edit the game source code, it is open to modification, I am not sure if the developer console is available or not, if so it could do it too.

I do not immediately remember the source code I would have to check it. It you are ok editing code (it is just editing a text file) then I can look it up and post a simple change.

EDIT:
For version 1.0 locate the file
game/labels/lb_dragon_creator.rpy
In version 1.4.1 locate the file
game/labels/dragon_creator.rpy
Edit it with any text editor like NotePad etc

Locate the line (near the top about line 14 or so)

mods_left = len(persistent.achievements) if not config.developer else 12

Change this to

mods_left = 10

as a flat number. You can pick any number you like, but take care of being too large, maybe the game will hang if you buy everything possible.
Note: the game allows 10 heads, 3x paws, 3x wings, 6x size plus the others listed

or increase say by

mods_left = 5 + len(persistent.achievements) if not config.developer else 12

Run the game again, you will have to reset the progress for Free Play in options

Re: Defiler Wings

I tried both 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 but i can't start game. I get main screen but nothing happens with uppermost button. Other buttons work like options button and achievement. Old versioan 1.0.1 works.

1.4.1 starts fine for me. Make sure the folder for the game is writable (ie is not read only) but I have no suggestions otherwise
