Dune 2000 1.06p - Game patching (bug fixes, new features)

[FunkyFr3sh]

Play on cncnet, it was turned off there :) http://forum.dune2k.com/topic/26730-cncnet-5-now-supports-dune-2000-play-dune-2000-online-now/

[D2k Sardaukar]

Could you add to the config tool more information? For example tooltip/hover-info what "Fake V-Sync", "No Video Memory" or "Video Backbuffer" etc does? Is there also a very tiny change that you will change the font? :)

 

Please also accept this modest gift as a token of my appreciation for your hard work:

 

Example image:

 

A new icon for the config tool:  Dune2000Config.ico

 

Do you recognize it?

[FunkyFr3sh]

yep, good job

will add it on the next update

[FunkyFr3sh]

Update:

 

Fixed the problem where the game runs at super fast speed on the highest speed settings. All linux/Mac users had this problem but it also happens in virtual machines and sometimes on a normal windows setup too

 

This bug also caused the game to lag badly in online games, I hope that problem is now gone too (will update CnCNet with the fix soon)

[FunkyFr3sh]

Update:

Added multi language support

You can change the language via dune2000.ini [Options]Language= (Eng, Ger, Fra, Rus, Spa)

 

Download the language addon here: (videos are not included yet)

http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/files/d2k/MultiLanguage.zip

 

Language addons have been created by Morphosis

[D.IKE.E]

m'kay I tried for about one or two thousand years (approx.) to try to run this game in german language with high res.

Now what do I need here ? Installed german version, patched german Patch 1.06. Now use your .exe ? Can I use the config tool with the original german v1.06 exe? I extracted the language addon correctly and added Language=Ger under the last line below the [Options] lines.

Game starts with small video in the upper left corner (High Res. Patch obviously working) but menu ist only sound, black screen. Fiddleing with the video-settings in the config-tool I get some blurred shit instead of a menu in the upper left corner of my 27"-screen about the size of half a finger.

 

Using Win 7 x64 and a Geforce 780

[FunkyFr3sh]

All you need is an original install, make sure you do not apply the other high res patch or else it will totally fail. Apply the german 1.06 patch, then download my dune2000.exe and dune2000config.exe from the first thread and place it inside of you game folder. Now just start dune2000config.exe to change your resolution and afterwards use my dune2000.exe to start the game.

 

You don't need the language addon since you already have the german version of the game installed

 

About that bug with the menu not showing up, does that only happen with the patch? Does your original vanilla game work fine?

 

 

If you still cannot get it to work, i zipped up the full patch for you, this .zip contains everything you need. It works on a clean install from a cd, there is no need to apply the 1.06 patch or anything else either, just extract this to your folder and then change the language to Ger since this patch will default to english:

Update:

 

Dune2000Config got a new icon - thanks to D2k Sardaukar

Dune2000Config Shows now tooltips when you hover over the settings

DisableMaxWindowedMode option added (this solves performance issues on windows8 and newer systems, turning this off can solve the flickering on certain systems)

DisableHighDpiScaling (can solve problems where menus are drawing out of the screen and things look zoomed in)

Language can now be changed via Dune2000config.exe

[Adriano]

Not bad Russian translation! I like it.

[FunkyFr3sh]

It is an official translation, so it should be pretty good

I have not original Dune 2000 but Gruntmod Edition.

It was interesting for me to try Russian version. Later I tried every languages. :)

 

There are no some captions from "Gruntmod Edition" in original Dune. For example, "Select mission". So, when I overwrite files, these captions disappear.

 

Tell me if you please. How to return menu from Gruntmod Edition?  Can I write it manually? Is this text somewhere in .UIB files?

[FunkyFr3sh]

Oh right, there are some new strings that did not exist in the original versions and those should be blank now, we need to copy the english ones over or even better -> translate the new ones.

 

You can get back to the original string table via dune2000.iini, Language=

(remove the "rus")

 

If you like to translate the new strings from english to russian then you gotta open text.uib to find them, then copy them over to textRus.uib

[Adriano]

I am afraid, this is not easy. I found now that UI Table Editor cannot read Russian characters from textRus.uib. It needs another font with Cyrillic characters. But I cannot change font in UI Table Editor.

 

I try to open table with German text. I suppose it looks correct: "Beschütze den Außenposten bei Habbanya (...)".

[Adriano]

Yes! It works! Thank you.

I tried just to choose "eng" and even to copy text.uib from Gruntmods Edition. But this is not the same. Additional buttons stayed blank, without text.

Now it works. In English.

[FunkyFr3sh]

I will code a lil tool to extract the new strings and post them in here to make it easier to translate. Yes i gotta replace the textEng.uib in my package with the updated one from gruntmods editon to prevent such problems

[FunkyFr3sh]

Ok here is the list, we need this translated to German/French/Spanish/Russian

 

Only the words after the = need to be translated (e.g. HarkonnenTestMission=HerpDerp)

here is the tool i made to merge an .ini file with an .uib file:

http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/files/d2k/IniToUib.zip
 

[Adriano]

Thank you, FunkyFr3sh.

It works, only with Latin (not Russian) characters still. At least it is possible now to read something on the additional buttons. For example, English text. Buttons are not empty now.

 

-------

 

I found strange and not comfortable way to write in Russian via "UI Table Editor".  :)

As I told the Editor shows Russian characters in wrong encoding. Because font, used in the Editor, has no Cyrillic characters. But it has German specific characters, for example.

I run Notepad++ and found that "UI Table Editor" use encoding West Europian ISO-8859-1.

If to open TextRus.uib then we can see Russian encoding for Windows.  Windows-1251.

 

So I write, for example, "Select mission" in Russian (in Windows-1251). This is "Выбрать миссию".

I write it in new text file in Notepad++, not in TextRus.uib file.

Then I change encoding to West Europian ISO-8859-1 in Notepad++. And I get something unreadable "Âûáðàòü ìèññèþ".

Then I copy this abracadabra to  "UI Table Editor".

 

And I get normal text in Dune 2000 !  :)

[FunkyFr3sh]

Oh, that is very nice. Then it's possible to translate it to russian, just need to convert it :)

[Adriano]

Strange that Windows-1251 encoding is losing when it translates your IniToUib.ini -> TextRus.uib -> menu of Dune 2000. 

Excuse me, I don't understand why do I can't simply write text in .ini file? Lost in translation  :)

 

And it will be perfect to make possibility to change font or maybe encoding in "UI Table Editor". I understand that author of this editor not you,  FunkyFr3sh...

[FunkyFr3sh]

you should be able to write it in russian, then convert it in notepad++ and then use IniToUib.exe

[FunkyFr3sh]

This one should be working:

[Adriano]

This one should be working:

 

http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/files/d2k/IniToUibRussian.zip

Yes, it works!  :)  Thank you very much.

I will translate in Russian at least main menu and most used items. Maybe later I'll translate all items of ini file.

 

Unfortunately I cannot help with German/French/Spanish languages. But I hope, here are users, who understand these languages good.

[Adriano]

Here is first result. Most used items are translated. 

Other items are not empty at least.
