Mixed up Indian leader display

[TiFlo]

Hi,

Playing the FIW grand campaign as the French, with WIA 1.04c.

If forgot their respective names, please excuse my ignorance. When the leader of that "Cherokee party" appears in March 1759, the icon on the map doesn't show the same as that in the unit panel, which I believe is the correct one.

Here is what it looks like:




I attached the two closest saved games.

I haven't seen it mentioned otherwise, so I hope I'm not going over an already known bug

[lodilefty]

Thank you

Will correct

[TiFlo]

You are most welcome

While I'm at it, the Irish unit that appears through event I believe in Québec sometime during 1758 poped up duplicated, as well as the supply train unit that comes along. I let this one slip through though so I'll need to check if the saved game backup is still there.

In the saved games I previously posted one should be found somewhere between Montréal and the Lake George, while the other I left at Québec.

I'll check for the saved game later today and will come back with more on that.

[TiFlo]

There it is.
The unit appeared in April 1758 at Québec, as "reinforcements from the metropole". Both the Irish unit and the supply train were duplicated.

In the saved game, one pair is left outside Québec, the other is merged with the city's garrison (I might have saved the turn after doing my movements).

Hope this help!

Found it, will be corrected.

Great, thank you!

I have more, so I guess I'll just keep adding to this thread rather than opening a new one for every different problem.

One event (as seen on the screenshot below); the saved game is attached.




And one typo for the French version of the game. I believe "Partie", as in "war party" should be spelled "Parti", as it was "un parti" and not "une partie". Maybe I should post this is the French section of the forum though?

This one is apparently already fixed:

But there are probably more missing event text,so keep an eye on them

[TiFlo]

Rooooh !

I was just wondering if someone is in charge of all those little (and inoffensive) typos, and if not what kind of work it requires to do?

[lodilefty]

There are [I'm sure] typos in all the language versions....

I coordinate the change and help manage the DataBase, but only speak English

There is one large text string file, but also several other files with potential issues like this. It takes a patient person to go through them, then go through again because we've changed something else

We have a Spanish representative [arsan] and a German representative [dooya], and Hok [Project Manager for WIA & RoP] has always done the French. Perhaps if you send a PM to Hok to discuss your willingness to help?

Tanks lodilefty

Pocus told me about LocalStringsWIA.csv. I'm going to take some time to go through it.
As to commit more than that, for now I'll probably wait to see if I'm worth it (ok, I'll drop Hok a PM anyway)

It may be better if you get LocalStrings_WIA.xls from the DB [link in my signature below]

Then, you can highlight your changes with colors and send file to Hok or myself.

Direct editing of csv files scares the &%^&%#%^ out of me

[TiFlo]

Ok, will do.

Is there any other file in the DB that has ingame text in it?

EDIT: Should I highlight only the part I edited (ie. the letter or word I changed/added), or the full box?

Hilite either.
I usually hilite the box color...

Other text is scattered throughout. I think it best to wait for Hok to help us find all if it.....

[TiFlo]

Done!!!!

I went for the full boxes.

But wait, how do I attach a file to a PM? Can I do that? I'm trying to send you the revised DB to you and Hok

[lodilefty]

Post it here or send to support@ageod.com

you can't attach to a PM

[TiFlo]

Ok, I'll just post it here, as well as a full copy of the intended PM. Which I'll still send so that Hok is aware of this.
And this way everyone can have a say too

Call me crazy, the French text files in LocalStrings_WIA_ver104.xls are done

Here is what I did:

(All boxes where I changed something are highlighted in yellow. I originally intended to distinguish only the very changes made, but they would not be apparent enough, and they ended up being too many anyway).

Changes mainly consist in:
- punctuation
- capitals (also Added accents where needed, as in "États-Unis d'Amérique")
- typos (missing letters, accents, spellings...)
- replaced most of the "insurgents" by "rebelles". I remember some hot debate on the subject some time ago on the forum (yeah, I'm a nasty lurker). Although I don't mind the term "insurgent", some people were offended by the parallel that could be drawn with nowadays so-called "insurgents". So I just went with "rebel" all the way. If you don't like it, I can revert it back to original.
- replaced "Anglais" by "Britanniques" every time, with the only exception of when the situation involves Indians (they would deal with English, not British). And one or two others where there was sort of that "best enemies of the world" feeling between the French and the Brits in the text. I guess it's a way of retaining some flavour while polishing the overall work.

I also took the liberty to lighten and/or correct some scenarii descriptions. Don't freak out though, I only remember of 2 or 3 changes, and it was just to make the reading more fluid (one word here and there, no more). No, I didn't go revisionist with your description of history :
- It was Jeffery Amherst who captured Louisbourg in 1758, not James Wolfe. He "just" managed the succesful landing of the British forces on Ile Royale. His time would come one year later. So I changed that in the descriptive text(s) of the FIW.
- Braddock was defeated by a joint force of Canadian regulars (troupes de marine), Canadian militia, and Indians at the Monongahela. The original description reads something like "Français et Indiens". I added "Canadiens", and "Français" could probably be removed in that case (I'm not a Québec nationalist either)

I hope this is good enough for you. Let me know what you think.


Hum...
However, I came here at first to correct some typos I discovered (see this thread). None of them I found in that .xls file Is there another one?

************
UPDATE (feb09)
- Changed "acres" for "arpents" in the 1755 scenario title (thank you Bruit Bleu)
- Corrected more spelling errors (at least the ones I spotted)
- Removed "Français" from the description of the force that destroyed Braddock's expedition

I added a readme.txt to the updated DB file so that the latest changes are easier to spot.

Thanks much for your help.
(Though I speak no French and can't say if you filled the game strings with obscenities instead just correcting them. :wacko

Yes, another file exist: LocalStrings__AGE. One of the coordinators need to supply you with this one, they should have the most recent version.

I don't have an official LocalStrings__AGE. That is maintained [by Pocus I think?] to be same for all games....

Will see about getting it

[TiFlo]

Thank you both

I uploaded a slightly updated version of the file. See my previous post. Also, Hok has acknowledged it, so hopefully if it is approved it should be in a future update.

[Bruit Bleu]

Ho ! Merci TiFlo et félicitation pour ton travail rapide et efficace !
