Hi everyone,

I want to translate some ingame phrases like

"Looks like GDI got a random vehicle...." = all Crate messages which are displayed in F2 chat. ALSO all private messages which I get in case of picking up a crate by myself.

"The NOD Airstrip has been destroyed thanks to you" = I only translated the presets which was easy to make in ssaow.ini... I wanna translate the whole message.
-----------------------
2 more questions=

If I would edit the objects file from ssaow to get the "under attack-Sounds running (like repair pad, Conyard etc all where the sound is missing), will the server send the command to all clients? I mean they still can read whats under attack but some Buildings haven't got a sound for this.

I have LE, how do I set up my personal strings.tdb correctly?

Translate to what? Another language? They're hard coded into the scripts.dll and cant be changed without editting it.

Translating them into another language, right.

Inside the zip files of the scripts, there are expanded script files, can I use them instead of the DLLs in the main dir? i mean I should edit the cpp etc the same way like text files.

I don't know how to edit DLLs, what do I need? I read something of MS Visual Studio -I don't have this.

yea, the scipts.dll package is written in C so to edit this you either need a specific C compiler or visual studio 2006/ visual .net 2003

I am downloading 2 compilers now. Which DLL has the code in that I must edit (the crate messages and the destroying messages)?

For the latest SSAOW, you want Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003.
Then you open the scripts.sln file in Visual C++, find the strings you want and edit them to what you want them to be.
After that, you select "compile" from the menu and it will produce a new scripts.dll file which you can use on your server.

I have worked for approx. 2 hours now on it.

I am using MS Visual Studio 8 (MS Visual C++ 2005 express Edition) and I have NO scripts being outputted into the dir.

This is what I got= "Message: 'This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using sprintf_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE. See online help for details.'
.\crate.cpp(724) : warning C4996: 'sprintf' was declared deprecated" I don't know what it means with sprintf...

I put all the source files EXCEPT the DLLs into a new dir and followed your instructions Jonwil. But it didn't put out/modified the scripts.dll.

the file crate.cpp is know duplicated to a crate.sbr file in a sub-dir "Releases".
-------------------------------------
Please tell me my mistakes I made. Sorry, i thought it would be simple editing a DLL.

I'm going to bed now, cya tomorrow.

You can ignore the warnings,
for the errors, you need to download and install the Microsoft Platform SDK:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0BA F2B35-C656-4969-ACE8-E4C0C0716ADB&displaylang=en

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/


When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

I give up. I have had it all the way ready, but it didn't build, compile or whatever anything.

VC Express complains about a missing windows.h Header file which is listed inside the aow.cpp but not present. In the end, the scripts can be updated with my custom changes, but I don't get new Dll files. There is zero option to compile in the menu. Only if I mark one single .cpp file -but this won't help me. I have the SDK installed.

I thought about hex editing the DLL itself, but this would be the hard way and I don't want this.

If someone can easily compile this for me, feel free to do it. I will be happy. I added the changed source files below.

Make sure that VC8Express knows where to find the SDK...

I already followed the instructions "using SDK..:".

When I load up the sourcecode, there are the scripts and the keyconfig project. So far so good. Clicking on "properties" also does show the correct output format= scripts.dll.

But there is no option to compile but I can build the scripts. I did that and it didn't want to work. It complains about this windows.h line in the aow.cpp again. Removing this line caused some other serious errors.

Visual Studio .NET 2005 did NOT work to compile the scripts.dll. It seems the compiler isn't "backwards compatiable"

Let all your wishes be granted except one, so you will still have something to strieve for.

You are WRONG, it works fine.
You just need to install the Microsoft SDK correctly.
The windows.h file is part of it.

I don't have any problems with compiling the scripts with VC 2005.

The windows.h file is NOT included inside the ssaow sourcecode. I followed the instruction from MS how to get started with the P-SDK. I've set up those directories etc...

I had it running on XPprofessional. I additional installed the Platform SDK and the DirectX-SDK also. Like I wrote in the opening post, I'm not skilled in such things, it seems to get better configured before running well.

I have all the tools needed VS2005 + SDK and yet once compiled the new scripts aren't registered and the filesize is over 1mb. And 2003 seems more efficient than 2005 Smile

It's maybe because you compile them in Debug mode instead of
Release mode.
