Unofficial German 1.4 to English mod.

[InDoMiNaE]

Thanks go out to BungBo, GeorgeKeith, and Draxis for making this possible.

Make sure you have a fresh install of Dungeon Lords, then patch up to English 1.3, then patch to German 1.4, then run this mod.
It makes a playable, English 1.4 version. (There is still some German in spots)

And here it is:

Thanks for your effort.


1) In addition to what was accomplished with rename.bat, what does your patch do for the game ?

2) Will my savegame (after installing rename.bat) be compatible ?

[InDoMiNaE]

What rename.bat?

You don't need anything else with this. Everything is included and it's all automated. All you have to do is Patch DL up to 1.3 English, Patch 1.4 German, and run this. Then you have an almost 100% English 1.4.

As for the savegame, it will work, but you will have to start a new game to see any of the added features and items.

[Reguile]

pretty sad when the customers work harder on a patch than the company. Good job guys.

[GeorgeKeith]

Eh, we the gamers seem to lack the tendency for an ulterior motive :o

[redman5427]

Everything seems to work good but I have no customization of new characters
and I have all my old save games even though I uninstalled
Maybe I should have gone into my computer and deleted the whole folder

[Treadstone71]

Maybe we can dig up some of those old metal lunchboxes from the 70's and market our own Collector's Edition with this unofficial German to English 1.4 patch... Any ideas on what the "Extra Content" could be...? ;)

[redman5427]

No for some reason I had a folder in programs called dreamcatcher and another called dungeonlords. I re-ran where the patches should be located in /programs/dreamcatcher/dungeonlords and it works! You guys are geniuses!
Many thanks

Yes, you need to start with a clean slate. I've tested this and I assure yout that it works!

[BungBo]

Imdominae, great thread. :D But after thinking hard about it. I've decided to go ahead and translate the MP stuff tomorrow. Your info about the descriptive stuff lacking English made me realize that this will be easy to fix. I've never done any MP in this game or any other so I was reluctant to mess with it, but after your post on our other thread, I realized that I can AT LEAST get those items put into English. I didn't realize that there was that much difference between single and multi-player. I'll go ahead and do the menus also (just because). :D I do need though to test while I'm translating so what's the best way for me, as a solo player to do this? Gamespy? Let me know and I'll get started on it first thing tomorrow. Hey, it's still a work in progress. But man it's so cool!

[BungBo]

No for some reason I had a folder in programs called dreamcatcher and another called dungeonlords. I re-ran where the patches should be located in /programs/dreamcatcher/dungeonlords and it works! You guys are geniuses!
Many thanks

Yeah, you have to be careful, because the German 1.4 defaults to c:\program files\dungeon lords, but the English default install is to c:\program files\dreamcatcher\dungeon lords. Really glad you got it figured out! :)

[BungBo]

Indominae, just a thought... What do you think about putting a link on this thread to the German 1.3 to 1.4 patch? I'm not sure because it seems most people have figured it out, but might make it easier for others.

[InDoMiNaE]

Ok... this is what is needed to play 1.4 in English.

Download the following as needed:

1) Dungeon Lords English Patches:
- 1.0 to 1.1 http://dungeonlordsgame.com/download/dlords1.0-1.1_update.exe
- 1.1 to 1.3 http://dungeonlordsgame.com/download/Dungeon%20Lords%20Version%201.3%20patch.exe

2) Dungeon Lords German 1.3 to 1.4 Patch:
http://dungeon-lords.com/?go=dl&mirrorid=48&dl=true

3) German 1.4 to English 1.4 mod:
http://www.indominae.com/files/DLGer14toEnglishBeta_v1.exe

Install them in that order and it should work fine!

Oh, and BungBo... Test using them all I guess? Start with LAN though...

[BungBo]

Maybe we can dig up some of those old metal lunchboxes from the 70's and market our own Collector's Edition with this unofficial German to English 1.4 patch... Any ideas on what the "Extra Content" could be...? ;)

Good idea... but I was already digging out my old Tupperware! :eek: I mean... cause, like, it is unofficial, right? Oh, when they do finally get the Official 1.4 patch out guess what I'm gonna do? Check the folder to see if all the wav files are changed from EC to GC! :eek: Wouldn't that be a hoot!

[GeorgeKeith]

That's strange, I have an English 1.3 that patches from 1.0!

[BungBo]

Thanks, I'll try LAN first. Hey, when everything settles down how about you doing an MP with me to show me the ropes? I've never gotten to do any because nobody around these parts plays computer games. Just a thought.

[BungBo]

That's strange, I have an English 1.3 that patches from 1.0!

I think the patch you used is the one that also works with 1.1. It's the 1.2 people that had problems, like me. Remember, some of my earlier messages were explaining to people how to edit the registry to get the patch to install over 1.2? Boy! Those were the days! :D

[Raedwald]

Just wanted to congratulate all of you who have worked on this unofficial update to DL. I have not posted here alot but have lurked. You have a done a great job. I also want to wish everyone on this forum a safe and joyous holiday season.

Be well,
Raed

[InDoMiNaE]

Happy Holidays to you all!

Sure BungBo, we usually play coop and do the quests that way... the more the merrier!

I never had that patch install problem because I made my own 1.3 patch from that zip filed one. (It doesn't care what version you got!)
If you want it, I can email that too you.
That's actually where I got the graphics for this installer from... I had already done the graphics for the last one... So I just used those, with a little editing...

[redman5427]

Yes Bungbo I would be happy to do some multi with both you and Indominae
my online name is Keaolian
I was on last night and there were people logged in but I didn't see any games going on or any chat for that matter

Thanks, but I have the 1.2 to 1.3 that Jeremy finally posted. Works fine, but no where as cool as the one you made.

And Happy Holidays everybody!

Sorry. I didn't word my question(s) very well. The savegame I'm referring to was made after installing the german 1.4 patch. and rename.bat separately. I haven't finished the game I started with this installation. I would simply be reinstalling the savegame in the folder. My question is ; will a clean install and the file you created give me something I do not already have after patching to g1.4 and running rename.bat ? I.E. will the menus, etc. be converted to english ? Thanks for replying.

[InDoMiNaE]

You don't need a rename.bat. The installer is an all-in-one installer.
It renames what needs to be renamed (like ALL of the sound files) and makes almost everything in english except the MP menu at this time. I believe BungBo is going to be redoing that as well when he has time.

I just noticed (because I don't speak German) that you can now PICK your character from several you have played! (in multiplayer). It's great they added that!

[BungBo]

Indominae, check your email. I've sent you the new gd6string with my English translation of the MultiPlayer menus. I also took care of those items you had mentioned earlier and some other random stuff like unidentified items. So MP should be up to speed with SP. Test it out first and post any thoughts or observations. Don't add it to your install just yet. I translated some of the various MP messages that display when your starting your connection and such, but stopped cause there is just so many of them. See if it matters that much, if so I'll go back to working on them.

Also, I noticed that the place to enter your CD key in the GameSpy menu is disabled. I wasn't sure if it was something I had done so I uninstalled and reinstalled. English 1.3 has the CD key, but the original German 1.4 has it disabled, so it wasn't anything I did. Maybe the Germans don't get to do the GameSpy stuff. I don't know if it matters. Is anyone using GameSpy for MP? Anyway both LAN and Direct IP work at least to play the game. I didn't actually attempt any real MP sessions. Maybe you or someone else can test that. If you're too busy to test, maybe send it to Redman or someone else to try.

I'll check in here later.

[InDoMiNaE]

Im testing it. Looks good so far. I noticed the german for character selection is still there. ("LETZTER IM MULTIPLAYER GESPEICHETER PC","LETZTER IM EINZELSPEIL GESPEICHERTER PC" and "LETZNER NEUER PC CHARAKTER")

I'll let you know what else I see... but it's great so far!

[Axell]

YOU GUYS ROCK. I'm speechless.

[redman5427]

I went on and hosted a game- It worked and the other guy was in
I couldn't join his- my german is pretty bad but I think he was behind a nat or firewall and I needed his port number

I would be nice to have the menu in english I guess

I've been working on that all day. Indominae is testing it. Read my earlier post if you want to know what's translated and what's not of the MP stuff.

Yeah, I didn't see that. I'm trying to translate it now. It's looks like a new feature in MP for 1.4 cause I checked out 1.3 and couldn't find it. But my first guess would be Last Stored Multiplayer PC, Last Stored Singleplayer PC and Last New PC Character. Does that sound about right? If it does, I'll go ahead and change it. Or instead of Stored, how about Saved?

Oh and by the way, Kama of The Void is not German. It's in the item name file, so Kama is just a name and not German.

[chamr]

I just noticed (because I don't speak German) that you can now PICK your character from several you have played! (in multiplayer). It's great they added that!


No frickin' way! If they fixed the stupid a** way you pick a char to play in Multi in 1.3, I'll be thrilled!

[InDoMiNaE]

Sounds to me like "Last Stored MP Character", "Last Stored SP Character", and "Last Stored NEW Character" would work. Re-word if needed...
I haven't tried the Direct Connect menu yet, but I've never used GameQueer cause I hate it. People direct connect to me when we play.

I've been stuck the last 4 hours in the Shadow Ruins. The **** ghost (Kingston) wouldn't appear to lead us through the portals no matter who placed the ShadowSlayer on his statue.

Long story short, I know how to change player locations in MP save games now. And for future reference for anyone who attempts it... X Y Z is the normal way to represent a point in 3D space.... but NO.... HP has to be different... its X Z Y. ANYwho... I'm gonna play now that I'm standing on the last Rune.

Let me know what else you need BungBo, or if your finished... etc...

I like that better. I'll make the changes. Also will translate the connection messages for Direct IP since it seems most people use that, but will not bother with GameSpy. The only other thing I would like to know is have you run into any of those schlag items or powers, like Fire Strike, Rune Strike etc. and did it make sense? Also there was a bunch of ladung stuff which translated to "charge" like orange charge, pink charge, plasma charge, smoke charge and especially geshoss charge? What the heck are they and do they make any sense? Geshoss I couldn't find a suitable translation for so if you run into geshoss charge let me know what it is so I can rename it.

Also I'm pretty sure that when you update the installer with the MP version gd6string people can just download it and install over the last version without uninstalling and reinstalling the whole game, but I will test it out just to be sure.

[ElizabethLestrad]

Can anyone whose tried this mod be able to tell me if they finally put furnature in all the buildings and such because it was always funny to go into places like the tavern in Arendale and laugh at the guy saying buisness was good when it looked like the repo men had just been there.

[GeorgeKeith]

Very little if any. Some things like chests in the kings mansion in fargrove can be opeded. Still no treasure or items in emmindors tower in arindale. I believe the German 1.4 was a trial version leading to the English 1.4.

[InDoMiNaE]

Nope. No furniture in Arindale... I did notice alot more AI walking around Fargrove, though. But they didn't fix the lady with the man's voice... lol

BungBo, are you talking about the charges wepons have now? or the chance to do a special thing (like a diabolic) or spell?

ex. Blade of Death - 10% chance to critical strike.
or Barbtounge Runeblade - 10% chance to Stun.

or Angelic Destroyer - Firestrike - Invoked Divine Intervention?


I only have the gd6 you sent yesterday.Some stuff is still in German: Like RUNESTRIKEG on a Demonblade of BAAL for example...
So far 99% of it is in English now though.

So are you trying to say that they really do care about us americans and are just using the germans as lab rats?

Thanks I just fixed that RUNESTRIKEG, typo, it's RUNE STRIKE now. And yes, I guess like with the Demonblade. I don't know because I've never played far enough into the game to see any of those items. Charges on weapons would make sense. As long as there's nothing that's really hit you as weird, I guess it's OK.

Now for the fun stuff...

I've translated a bunch more in MP menus. Did the changes for the character menu like we talked about. And as an added holiday treat I translated to English all the in game Help Menus, the one that comes up when you press ? so I'm emailing you the latest version gd6stringMP2 zip file to check out. Let me know what you think. :D

[BungBo]

Oh and Indominae, I tested out reinstalling the mod. I reinstalled the original over the newest gd6string I've been working on and it successfully updated... um, unupdated, um, downdated? my DL. So if it works to revert to a previous version, it should be no problem to update to the newest version of the mod without having to uninstall and reinstall the whole game.

Yep. I made it that way on purpose. It will forcefully overwrite the file it's trying to install. I was going to use a naming convention (Hence DLGer14toEnglish_v1.exe) like v1,v2,v3... but for simplicity (the posted links) I am just using the current filename so I don't have to repost links.

The installer is now updated with the v3 (MP2) gd6string you just sent me.

The new one looks sweet! English EVERYWHERE!

[BungBo]

Cool, and thanks again. Now just let me know if you run into any weird stuff that cries out to be changed like some pants named Thunder Strike, though I'd probably just leave that. Also if there's anything in the MP menus that needs to be fixed. I couldn't test it all because I could only start a game using Host. Well, now I'm either gonna actually play this or try and get that campfire to make noise and maybe put some music in the taverns. Actually, I better wrap the presents. :eek:

[InDoMiNaE]

Well, now that you mention it... take a look at your Moonstone.
"Special Item D"

[3days]

excellent work guys
sounds like 1.4 will be great
have a great holiday

zacho

[draxis]

wrap the presents? i just stuffed them in a fance bag with a big red safeway and duct taped the up it made them all nice never knew duct tape came in christmass colors should hav seen the kids try n open them took them an hr

[BungBo]

Well, now that you mention it... take a look at your Moonstone.
"Special Item D"


I thought I took care of that... or was that Required Item D? Yep, just checked it and fixed it and sent you gd6atringMP2d. What is it with Germans and D? Might be a question for CKomet. ;) :D

Thanks for catching that. Pass on anything else you find.

Draxis, great idea, I wish I'd known that about 7 hours ago. :)

And to all of you special 1.4 people... Merry, Merry Everyone!

[BungBo]

RuneScape... How's your friend doing? Post an update. I hope he's getting better. I'm keeping both of you in my thoughts and prayers. Hang in there.

[BungBo]

Hey Indominae, I just noticed you finally pasted the 30 post mark and are now a full fledged MEMBER! Congratulations! :p

[redsuns86]

y every weapon n armor that i picked up in german version 1.4 with english mod displayed like this...

?dagger?

skill : light weapon
damage : ???
range : ???

[InDoMiNaE]

Because now you have to 'Identify' objects! Visit the Arms of Argus or Mage Allister for example and Identify the items you pick up!

[InDoMiNaE]

Ok, BungBo, the installer has been updated again. The link always contains the current version. Some people may have to clear their cache to get the new file. The timestamp on the installer right now is Dec 25, 11:5something AM. Merry Christmas everyone!

[GeorgeKeith]

The installer link way back in these posts is for beta1 or some such name and it's from yesterday. Is there a new link that I'm missing?

[BungBo]

The installer link way back in these posts is for beta1 or some such name and it's from yesterday. Is there a new link that I'm missing?

No, that's the link you want to use. Indominae is just using the same link for the latest version of the installer, so even though it says beta1 it's now actually version 4 though the actual file you download will say v1. So just click on that link and download the latest version and install it. No need to uninstall and reinstall the whole game. Indominae made the installer so if would write over the old stuff. Also read Indominae's earlier thread about this and the one about clearing your web browser cache. That should help explain more.

[BungBo]

Also George, you'll know you have the latest version if you press the "?" key and check out the Help Menu while in the game. It's now in English, if it comes up German you'll need to clear your cache and redownload and install. Hope this helps.

[GeorgeKeith]

Ok, that seems logical. I have some old saves that load up ok!? Have a good remainder of this day and a good year to come.

[BungBo]

Ok, that seems logical. I have some old saves that load up ok!? Have a good remainder of this day and a good year to come.

Yes, your old saves will work. After all your saves are for version 1.4. When you update with the latest version of the installer, you're still playing 1.4 but with a lot more English. That's the main difference. I've tested it out a bunch while working on it and had no problem with the saves.

[InDoMiNaE]

Yah, out of pure laziness I decided to just name the updated file the same so I wouldn't keep posting links to the new files... heh.

We just beat the game doing 1.4. It seems the white "you can continue" screen comes up on all machines now... (but still kicks everyone to the main menu) and you can start a new game with your old character PLUS it removes all of your Keys, Letters, and Relics!
However. It doesn't remove your moonstone AND you can go anywhere from the time you hit Fargroves moonbridge!

We'll start playing a new game in a few days... (Thursday) so If, by then anyone wants to join us... lemme know!

[chamr]

Just wanted to thank you guys for all your work to bring us some long overdue DL fun. Thanks, guys!!

:D

P.S. Can't wait to get home and see if multi over gamespy actually works now....

[one-cool]

aloa hey.

I don't know if someone knows me by name.

a little introduction.
Hi I'm one-cool Part of the German DL-Forum and site. Well, afaik one of the first german's being part fo the German Forum, helping here and tehre. Having a connection to the German publisher etc.

well the beginning was good, but when I see this **** now, I'll get furious. Never thought that the user's will someday have to patch up the game. I'm happy to see, that there are so many ppl caring abuot this and helping out, but that there is no eraction from the officials...

Well, I'll bring my respects and the respects from some German's, we don't hope, that we will have to translate the CE-Version for us, but maybe that will happen :/.

well have a happy new year and I think it is great that the user's help out each other.

Greetings from the German Community, one.

[DoofDilla]

Thanks for your effort guys,

and also thank you for highly improving my x-mas holidays :)

Keep up your good work, it´s appriciated.

P.S. Can't wait to get home and see if multi over gamespy actually works now....

In the G 1.4 version the enter CD key code is disabled in GameSpy. Not sure why, I checked it out with a virgin install and no mod so it wasn't anything we did. Maybe the Germans don't get to do GameSpy. However, if you've already entered your CD Key code before, you shouldn't have to enter it again, at least that's what it says in the docs. So you should be able to just go ahead and connect because that does seem to be working. If you haven't already entered your code then you could reinstall 1.3 which has the option enabled, enter you code and then upgrade to 1.4. I haven't tried it but it seems logical. Post here what you find out about GameSpy. Also, I didn't change the connection messages into English in GameSpy because it didn't seem like there was much interest in it, though the menus I did change to English. So if the GameSpy people would like the connection messages in English post here and I'll fix that as soon as I can.

[natec63]

Ok, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but here's what I've done. Completely uninstalled DL, reinstalled, patched to 1.3, patched w/ German 1.4 and ran the German to Engish mod. When the mod runs, everything looks fine until I get a DOS screen and I get messages that the "file cannot be found" or path not found. I know I'm directing everything to the correct installation directory so I'm at a loss here.

[DoofDilla]

[...] When the mod runs, everything looks fine until I get a DOS screen and I get messages that the "file cannot be found" or path not found. I know I'm directing everything to the correct installation directory so I'm at a loss here.


happens for me too, but doesnt seem to matter at all, should run fine anyway

[InDoMiNaE]

Yup. That's normal. It's empty folders with nothing in them to rename.
If you 'patch up' with a new version of the mod installer, or re-install the mod installer you have, then you will see alot of those kinds of errors... just ignore them. The way to make sure is to just goto your Dungeon Lords folder, click on SPEECH and then click on any folder with stuff in it. If it says GCblahblah instead of ECblahblah then your OK.

Bungbo, as far as I can remember all one would have to do was to edit a text file in the Dungeon Lords folder and put your cd key in it. Since I'm at work, I can't look for the filename right now... but that would be the fix. Check your folder for the file (****, it might be cd.key ?)
Also, let me know when we can release the final ver...

[BungBo]

Indominae, I'm just waiting to hear from the GameSpy users about whether they want me to change the connection messages to English. Other than that, I think we're ready for the final release.

[chamr]

Also, I didn't change the connection messages into English in GameSpy because it didn't seem like there was much interest in it, though the menus I did change to English.

OK. I've tried this with a fresh install on a laptop (I'm away from home) that never had DL on it, so doesn't have the CD Key anywhere. I can connect to the lobby and host a game, but haven't been able to join a game or have anyone join my game.

Definitely interested in Gamespy multi. Anything you could do here would be cool. The connection messages right now are a mix of German and English, but mostly German.

Thanks!!

Sorry, can't help you with the joining game stuff. I've never done any multi-player before, but maybe someone else can help out.

I'm working on changing the German to English in GameSpy connection messages right now. Will update you on my progress a little later.

[BungBo]

Indominae, looks like I'll have one more version for you to update. Will need someone to test GameSpy before making it final. I should be done in a couple of hours.

[BungBo]

Wow, 100 posts... uh, 101! I'm a Senior Member. Weeeee! Do I get a pension now? ;)

PS: Thanks again for the great mod. Really, all of you guys are really appreciated!

To the Super User Mod'rs:

I have installed your beta version of the English conversion of v1.4 and it seems to work fine. Will the final version you are about to release be able to update the beta version or should I do a complete new install? i will test the upgrade from beta to final if you need me to. I just drive imaged my PC a few hours ago.

No problem. Wasn't expecting you to work miracles! ;) Just looking for the translation of the network messages so that I can see the exact reason for any failures.

I'm not too concerned with it at this point as I'm on a brand new laptop away from home using a wireless router that I don't have access to checking the settings on. (don't ask ;) )

Yes, just download it and run it. No need to uninstall and reinstall. Indominae did some fine work making his installer.

Clear your web cache before downloading the final or you might end up with the old version.

You can read earlier posts to get more info, if you need it.

Thanks for the Atta Boy!

[BungBo]

Indominae, check your email. I've sent you the latest and, hopefully, final update of this mod. I'm pretty confident that all the connection and error messages are in English now. I'll need someone to test out GameSpy and the other MPs and post any problems. If all goes well that will be the Final version! Thanks again everyone.

The final version is near completion. It will be named DLGer14toEnglishFinal_14.exe and will weigh in at only 794K. You will know if you are installing the final version. If you have any of the previous versions of this mod installed, this installer will update it to v1.4 of the mod.

Just waiting on the word to release it now...

[InDoMiNaE]

Ok, make that 1.6MB. I made it to where everyone would know what version it is. Look for it tomorrow probably.

Just waiting on the word to release it now...


Indominae, I've emailed you one more tweak. That's it! This puppy is officially, unofficially final. Go and post! This doesn't mean I'm done looking at more upgrades, but this is about as good as it gets for now. Thanks again to George, Indominae, Draxis, MKolter and Oink for this wonderful ride! I've had one great time and I hope all who play this now will at least enjoy it for all the devotion (love?) that we've put into it. It's not by any means perfect, but it comes from the brain and heart, and for that, in its own way, more fun.

And thanks to all that have downloaded this puppy and given it a ride! :)

Also, remember if you have any of the earlier versions of this mod all you have to do is download the latest one, when Indominae posts it, and run it. No need to uninstall/reinstall the whole game. Also any save games you have made while playing our mod WILL work with the latest/final realease!

P.S. Check earlier posts first for answers!

Happy New Year!

Just wanted to thank you all for your hard-work and dedication to making this game closer to it's full intended potential.....Your Mod has just made it to the 3D gamers D/L's Unofficial downloads list!!! You Guy's Fookin' rock, and thank you for the Christmas present.....The only thing that pissed me off was that in the read me in the Mod Description, I thought you guy's should have been acknowledged and commended for the work that is rightfully yours. Keep up the good work!!

[Cayra]

Thanks guys

Got this game a while ago and decided not to play it until it was patched to something approaching what it should have been

BTW if a 1.4 patch does come out with a few extras do you think the save games form the modded german patch will work... no matter if not... just curious

The game is looking very nice now and so far (just started) is enjoyable

[Crywolf]

good work guys!!

Indominae should be posting the final release sometime today. He's at work today, so I wouldn't expect it to get posted till later this afternoon or early evening depending on what time zone you're in.

If you want the latest posted version of the mod, just go to the link on the first message of this thread. It still says beta v1, but is actually more like v5. Read earlier posts for more information.

[Shock]

Yeah yeah...that's what they all say. Delays, delays. :cool:

Yes, I think they will work. The main reason for starting with a new character with this 1.4 mod was to try out the newly added character customization.

I had version 1.3 installed, I downloaded the German version and loaded it to e:/ (that is where I have dlord installed) then I downloaded the german to english version, and when i load the game it says on the singleplayer, multiplayer etc screen that it is the 1.4 version in english, however, in the game everything I pick up or buy or sell is all in german, but the signs and the speech and all that is in English. Can this be fixed without uninstalling and reinstalling? I really dont want to start over, but needing a german to english dictionary to figure out what spell I have or what that crystal or nether does is getting annoying. Will (assuming the programmers involved get around to making an english 1.4) downloading the "official" English 1.4 version fix this? (If and when the time ever comes) I would rather suffer through it, then uninstall and reinstall. Thanks for your help :) Oh and the "f" key doesnt switch between spells and melee, so it seems I really dont have 1.4 installed in those regards.

[Raij]

You did something wrong I'd think. Make sure all the patches are getting extracted to the main Dungeon Lords folder because some of them wont go there by default (like the german one). Some of the file paths you have to change, but the 1.4 english mod shows everything in english with the exception of a few words that didn't translate over well (however it is not hard to figure out what they mean)

I did it wrong the first time too and it didn't work for me. I just uninstalled and started with a fresh installation, being careful to read the directions very closely the second time and all went well.

Are you sure you're not just being confused by the ??wepon?? tag things have when you pick them up? If so, that is because you now have to ID weapons and armor when you pick them up before you know what they are.

Do you have the latest version of the German to English mod? It was just released a few days ago. Here's the link...

http://www.indominae.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=283

If not you'll need to register at Indominae's website first and then you can download the latest mod which is 100% English.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Actually, in the updated 1.41, it's 100% Perfect English. ?? wepon ?? is now ?? Weapon ??. All is translated correctly... :)

[Andromeadae]

No I am not having to identify anything the titles are all there, they are just in German. Which is why I think something didnt go to the right place somewhere along the line. I dont want to uninstall and reinstall everything, because I dont want to start over, I am fairly sure the german to english mod went to the right place, I just wonder about the German patch, I put it to e:/ because that is where I have dungeon lords installed. I have tried to reinstall it (just for the heck of it) but it wont let me, and because its in German I am not sure why it is not letting me. (it may be telling me it wont install it because its already there) Is there a good way to uninstall just the German patch and the German to English mod and start from there? If so exactly what do I look for when uninstalling? I am assuming this probably cant be done though, therefore I am hoping that if an english version of 1.4 is ever made that it will overwrite all this crap, is that too much to hope for at this point? :rolleyes:
All advice is appreciated :)

[Andromeadae]

I found a "save" file, that seems to coincide with my saved games. If this is indeed my saved games, can I copy it to say desktop, then uninstall dungeon lords, and reinstall it (hopefully correctly) then copy the folder back to the dungeon lords file and continue on that way? If this is possible is that all there is to it or am i missing a critical step.

Another thought, if I delete the German to english mod, and the German 1.4 patch will that totally screw up the game to the point of having to uninstall the entire game? (Which is my assumption at this point)

I am beginning to think I am completely screwed at this point, say it aint so!

Hello,
yes you can copy the save folder it does have your saves in it. after you uninstall and reinstall just copy the folder back to the correct place and all your saves will be there. I copied my saves before I uninstalled the game to free up space, after I reinstalled I copied the folder back and picked up where I left off.

[Andromeadae]

Awesome! I am going to try that then :)

[Andromeadae]

All is well and running in English now, saved games are there and working :) Thanks for your help!
