Component: Game Text Update

[Leomar]

Your "Game Text Update" updates the original english text of Baldur's Gate 2. That's fine. The same we do with our Textpatch for the German version.

 

But what is with your new descriptions of weapons, spells, etc. which you must changed for the core fixes? i.e. If you must correct a spell, then you make a new description of the spell in the game. Right? Put you this in the "Game Text Update", then?

 

The problem what I see or what we will have in all other languages is, if you put them in the "Game Text Update", we don't get this update for our weapons, spells in our language. Fix descriptions of the Fixpack should have an own component or should included in the core fixes, so we can translate it and have it shown in our game versions. Otherwise our descriptions of such things in the game are described wrong.

I think if a core fix results in a description change, then it goes in core fixes instead of the GTU, but a fixpacker can probably confirm that.

CamDawg has plans for that to happen but at the moment the corrections to spells and items are all included in the GTU, IIRC.

[G-Mon]

Yeah, CamDawg was working on de-suckifying the GTU. Part of the intent is to move any string changes that are actually bugfixes (e.g. correcting a way-off-base spell description) into Core Fixes.

[Leomar]

Thanks for the information.

It is good to know, that plans exists to do this.

Yeah, v6 added about 30 strings to core fixes.

 

There's more to go, of course, but it can be a lot to translate into seven languages
