FLAXO'S PROFILE

Does a Pokémon engine exist? I'm not talking about scripts for RPG Maker but an easy-to-use faithful engine like SMBX is to Mario.

EDIT: Crap, two in a row!

Sorry for not showing any sign of life for almost a week, I've been really busy lately. The recently released Nintendo 3DS took most of my free time ;).

There is no hostility there(you're just taking it personally for some reason) - it is a fact that many translators do quit! I think he was trying to encourage you. :\

Really? That's great then!

Anywho, I still haven't taken a look at the dialog for Hellion to assess its suitability for translation. I will most likely get to it monday.

What a coincidence, I'm about to leave for the weekend so I won't be able to start translating until Monday. Tomorrow is my birthday (April 2nd), that's why I'm going to live the weekend in my hometown, Gatineau (two hours from Montreal), where most of my family and friends are. By the way, I left my Windows XP installation disk at my mother's place and since that's where I'm heading, I'll bring it back with me at the end of the weekend. In other words, I might be able to fix my Windows issues. I really hate that operating system but it's the only one compatible with RPG Maker and Super Mario Bros. X.

Flaxo, in any case, please do not take the internet forums as seriously as the real world. Don't take everything to heart. Lighten up :)

You're right :).

Oh Its O.K then, I thought you where trying to show off or something, ... it seems we have alot in common so hopefully we can set this aside and be friends.

Don't worry, I noticed that there was some kind of misunderstanding, there was no need to make a big deal about it.

Well that aside I hope you enjoy RMN, I'm sure you'll be able to learn anything if you just set your mind to it no matter how difficult it seems at first.

So far I've been enjoying it. I've seen people generously helping each other and I think that it's very important in video game designing. I myself am offering my translation services here.

I didn't think that French Canadians wanted to be part of Canada?

There are two kinds of French speaking people in Canada, the ones who live in Québec and the ones who live in the other provinces. There are two official languages in Canada but Québec only has one: French. Quebecers usually don't consider themselves Canadians and want their nation to be its own independent country. These people aren't French Canadians and calling them that is a blatant insult. French speaking people living in Canada (Québec excluded) are called French Canadians. You won't hear Quebecers calling themselves French Canadians often and those who do are the main reason why Québec wasn't separated yet. Contrary to popular belief, Canadians and Quebecers do not hate each other, the problem is purely political.

I was considering translating my game Hellion into french. Think it's doable?

Yeah, of course. But there's only one problem which can be remedied by doing something for me. Since my Windows XP partition is currently broken on my Intel Macintosh, I can't boot any .EXE files. Until I fix my Windows XP problem, I have no other choice but to ask you to extract the text strings yourself and send me the text files. To do this, use RPG Maker Trans and follow the directions in the README file, then send me the patch folder that has resulted.

You may give me special directives about how you want me to translate certain things. If that's what you plan to do, please create a text file, name it DIRECTIVES (all caps) and put it into the patch folder. My default way of working is not touching proper names. For example, if there are characters named John, Jack and Edward; I won't translate them into Jean, Jacques and Édouard respectively, they will keep their original names unless you ask me to change them. Location names, like towns and areas, can be a bit different, I won't touch proper nouns such as Cambridge, Palamecia and Porkington; but I will change common nouns such as Lost Woods, Rune Field and Flower Park into Bois Perdus, Champs de Rune and Parc Fleuri. The same applies to item, class and monster names.
