FreeeSpace 2 german to English patch?
Hi


I have spent an age tracking down a copy of FS2. I bought it on e-Bay from Germany  thinking that they would be a language switch. Dilerium at last!!!

On installing the game and going into setup there is a langauge set-up but it appears not to work. It shows English & German.

Is they a patch to transfer the language from german to English?

Any help appreciated apart from learning German!

Deutsch lernen ist sehr , erm, easy?

Dunno, the voice files would be hard. Get a stu_.vp file from someone with an English version.

And you couldn't have picked a worse name, we already have a Kazan, and he is mentioned quite often....

Use my patch.
It's only registry hack that allows you to display English text. Sounds and movies are in German.
Download here
or just
search for key "Language" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Volition\FreeSpace2
and set "Language"="English".

Very funny, there were two threads and I merged one of them into this one (it contained the two posts above mine by wojta - that's all).

The other thread has been deleted.

Continue :nod:

Hi

wojta - thanks it translates the text so now at least I know what the guy is saying in German - might even learn a word or two.

Having played the demos I am familiar with the cockpit setup so whilst its' in German it poses no problems.

Presumably there is no way to chnage the spoken word or cockpit apart from the file on the English version?

Whatever it is still a great game and you guys are reallly supportive - thanks again/

Actually, there is a way to make the voices english... Actually, you could make the whole game english... All you'd have to do is download all the english tables, the english VP that contained the voices and the english movies (still in .mve format)... The only thing that might still be german is the interface in the main ahll and such... But an SCP build should fix that...

Ok, just reply. :)

I have reported that radar shows ships as A (with two dots). It's problem with fonts. I have added fonts from the English version to the package. Just download it again.

The only way to have the speech in English is replacing stu_fs2.vp with the one from English version. Ask your friends or search the net.

Thanks for the suggestons - is there a site that I can download these various files from. I am not a techie and keep coming across programs and such like that I have no idea what to do with?

I have searched the web and it it pretty confusing though Freespace Oralcle seems good?

Thanks again

Kazzan, If you don't terribly mind, I'd like to change your username due to the abovementioned similarities. Any preferences? :)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
