English language mod for german version 1.02

[CrazyD 10]

Hi Wiper thanks for the effort, When I join MP games I always get Session Lost When I go to join a server using this/Any German to English Language mod, I've had to resort back to running Arma II without no mods so I can actually join servers. Do you have any Idea why this is happening?

Would server operators not have to add these files to their allow list because I have a feeling they are being blocked.

Hi Wiper

I had high hopes for your mod, but it turned out it wont work for me.

I have the "Hungarian" version.. this is the only type I can buy here.

The problem is the the quality of the localization is BAD. :mad::mad::mad:

It is all messed up, whoever done this Bohemia should kick their sorry ass and ask their money back....

So I was desperately looking for 1.02 English .pbo's ... I found your mod and hoped it will solve my problem.. but this is only for German... it done nothing with for me, even when I enabled it it stays Hungarian.

Can you tell me what to edit to make it work for me too? Or make a mod for the HUN version too ?

Thank you

If they have switched verifySignatures=1 in their config file they just need to copy the included key file into their key folder, if I unterstand that correctly.

um, the servers must have the server key to allow it. How many servers do you think has your server key right now?

Wiper you are my personal hero!

Thank you! :bounce3:

I just uploaded the archive a third and hopefully last time.

This one should be a really clean one that essentially swaps all German with English tags - without ANY oversights ;)

Please redownload and overwrite your old one.

Thanks.

Replaced the actual link now pointing to a signed version of the pbo's.

Old link still active to avoid confusements and/or as backup in case something goes wrong with the signatures.

Please report in case of issues. I'm running out of time and resources testing MP environment too, so every hint/suggestion or constructive criticism is much appreciated. :)

Thanks.

Just to confirm this is updated from the last @Eng102?

Thanks for all your hard work.

Thanks for your kind words, vengeance :)

Yes i always used original v1.02 pbos.

Current upload just contains added signed (*.wiper.bisign) signations, the pbos kept untouched.

The Archive should contain a @english though, I always named it like this.

But feel free to rename it at your own descretion, of course.

Will remove the old link for the unsigned ones shortly.

thats interesting you have kept the pbo's untouched.,, as untouched 1.02 english pbo language files will NOT work as a mod switch on my german version. No matter what I try...

Only way I have been able to make it work is to open the Pbo and switch tags in the strings around. This works, although Ive noticed my mission language files is now double the size of what the standard pbo mission language file is after a 1.02 patch.

please enlighten me if there is more to this using un-edited pbo language files from 1.02 and getting it to show english ingame.. cause changing arma2.cfg to english/italian/french or even canton-bloody-nese does diddly squat lol.

The german release as far as I see it along with the serial you install with is hard set to the language packs "somehow" otherwise using pbo files for language with "english" as chosen string should work right? If not why not.

How about a dev insight about these language cores not allowing a switch to work if the language you want is available ? pretty please :D

Would be interesting to hear yes... I remember reading elsewhere in the forum that I think you are right about the serial key being tied to the language option when using the official pbo(s) from BIS...

Not all servers are banning non-loaded addons by key yet, so some servers will still work with this addon. However this has major drawback for public servers...

L8r,

..I think he meant his version of the pbo(s) are untouched from his last version...at least that's how I read it anyway...?

sorry, misleading terms on my side, im afraid. with "untouched" I meant untouched since my second last upload which you were referring to I guessed.

I'm sure this is due to the Pbo packer in use.

thanks! if you interested, ill send you a link to g2xpl and a proper config file so you can do Austria too!

Hungary at LOD16 is around 50 gigs, 1 tile is around 2-3 gigs, if you want the best quality, you can use LOD21 images (if its available, if not, it will use the maximum available quality at the choosen area), but a LOD17 tile is around 10 gigs :) (i cant imagine what about a LOD21 tile lol)

also there is a script to convert roads/railways/etc from the openstreetsmap.org's free datagbase.

just drop me a pm if you interested, and thanks again for the @huen mod! :)

ps: differences between LOD16 and 17:

LOD16

LOD17

The pupose of this thread and mod is to deal with non english versions of Arma v1.02 so that they display english text content instead of the localized ones.

I don't see how the 505 pbo's could contibute to this, unless they contain english text within non english Tags, which I pretty much am in doubt of.

However, I'd be glad to hear about different solutions that indeed exist to solve this problem.

Keep us informed if you are lucky, guys.

The original language files in 505 version do contain all other languages but not German. If those files are used with Morphicon Arma2 you get the English language as there is no German language at all! I have tested this as I have both versions.

Oh ic, thanks KJT !

So that means using the 505 language files for "un-localizing" into english is only sufficient for the german version, i.e. hungarian still displays hungarian text, i suppose ?

I rechecked the languages in original 505 game (this time properly) and there are actually 4 languages: english, italian, spanish, and french. So I quess original 505 files should work with the hungarian and other version(s) as well. They are dated 1. June so I don't know if the strings in latest 1.02 files are completely same or contain corrections/additions.
