Dead Day

Posted on noviembre 20, 2012 - 4:13 am by

Well I couldn’t do anything today, I was with too low energy level as to actually do anything, after so many days of hard working in the Launcher/CDkey updater/Language Selector….

Well, My time to work on It will be over soon because of the end of year time at work, so I will try to make It work stable enough for a beta release.

 

Multilanguage/Cross Version Support Complete

Posted on noviembre 18, 2012 - 8:08 am by

So today Finally the Multilanguage Support for FEAR has been completed.

All official languages are ready to go, unofficial languages are almost complete, but I need to make some extra checks to be sure.

Switch to 1.07 version works, but automatically switch to English language (Switch back to Selected language and 1.08 once the Game is closed, so doesn’t stay in 1.07).

Experimental support for launcher GUI translation works, Spanish Is the only language that Is currently translated, but translating the others should be really easy (but I need to test with languages that don’t use ansi characters).

Downloads? Closed Beta will be available once I complete the upload of the language files.

 

FEAR Multilanguage Progress 2012/11/06

Posted on noviembre 7, 2012 - 6:07 am by

Little progress today. Spent most of the time trying to force the German updater to install but that didn’t work at all. The creators made each language use a hexadecimal code for each language, but only tested 2 and couldn’t find a pattern. Tomorrow will continue to extract all other languages and check the hexadecimal code of the existing installers so I can figure out the german one.

Again If someone has FEAR or FEAR Combat installed in German I’d love to get: 5 files from your game, or 2 values from your Registry.

Meanwhile I got Italian files today, idk why I don’t have all of them, looks like the files I already had for most languages were in the Virtual machine I lost in the Hard Disk disaster some months ago :/

There’s a chance tomorrow I work in the language switch in the Launcher. Shouldn’t take that much time, I only wanted some more language files.

German Language Missing.

In today news, I still can’t get the german installer for FEAR or FEAR Combat.

but I think I can trick the 1.08 updater to install on top of the english version with some registry hacks.

Will try tomorrow. For now I reinstalled the VM to extract the language packs. I hope I can have more time to work on this.

Server List is almost complete, only needs some visual tweaks.

Will work more on this tomorrow 🙂

New FEAR Combat Launcher coming soon

Posted on octubre 29, 2012 - 12:47 am by

I started working on It, this time It’s a Win32 exe, so It will have all the required features we couldn’t Implement in the existing one.

The features we will include are:

  • AutoUpdate.
  • Advanced Configuration tool.
  • Working Language switcher.
  • Better CDKey update tool.
  • Improved server list with filter and arrange features.
  • Working (again) News section.
  • Working FEAR-Community profile linking.
  • Run Game as Administrator (Implemented).

What is already implemented? Well, nothing. But I know how to implement everything, only need time ( yeah, that’s the bad news ). I hope we can release this for 2013/01/01, but who knows.

Update:

Already implemented some of the features.  Most of the old functionality already works, except for the CDKey update, will work on that later!
