UHU_Fritzl65 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 In IL2 to get back into the swing of things.. I go to start that career as a german pilot and ... all the briefs are in Cyrilic script/ russian language... How do I change this? Thank you Fritz Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted January 5, 2014 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 5, 2014 You can't, they lost the war ya know, better start studying the Russian language! Oh my... had I known you were going to use all this offline stuff, I'd never ever have advised you to use Chkmods! Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted January 5, 2014 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 5, 2014 Your Dgen and Ngen folders are currently empty / missing, probably Attached are mine. Put them in your game folder, try starting the campaign a new... NgenDgen.zip Quote
UHU_Fritzl65 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Posted January 6, 2014 Sorry To be a pain... Downloaded your zip file and replaced NGen and DGen... still russian Please advise ` Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted January 6, 2014 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 6, 2014 Sorry, I cannot help you here. Even in my stock installation I cannot start any campaign... all the listboxes of Rank and stuff are empty! (Yeah, you get that once you get too much involved in squad play, online play... I haven't used the off line stuff in ages!) Quote
2. Administrators fruitbat Posted January 6, 2014 2. Administrators Posted January 6, 2014 Its a file extension that needs to be renamed. Can't remember which one off the top of my head, but will look into it. Seen it before and fixed it. Quote
BadAim Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Your not a pain Fritzl, we're just not very bright......... EDIT... Now that is funny ! Lol. P. Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted January 6, 2014 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 6, 2014 This appears to be what you need: EnjoyrPatchForNoAddons I have tested it to a clean install of mine, and it does change the text from Russian to English. Whether it really works and will generate your campaign correctly, over the entire run of the campaign, I do not know! (This one was created for v.4.09m, and as we're now on 4.12.2m.... well, I dunno what will happen!) I've attached the zip to this message. It will at loads of files to your installation, including some Jsgme mods contents. (Better not use chkmods afterwards, you can be pretty sure it will make a lot of the added stuff go disappear) Inside the zip is a self extracting executable, if run will result in an executable (PatchA_forNoAddons_v5.2_eng.exe) that you can then run to install it to your game folder. Good Luck! EnjoyrPatch_forNoAddons_v5.2.zip Quote
UHU_Fritzl65 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Posted January 6, 2014 FoolTrottel If this will make it so that I would not be able to fly with you and DD then I wont add it... Your comment about using checksum has me concerned/. perhaps I should fresh install a separate IL2 for off line stock? Quote
2. Administrators fruitbat Posted January 7, 2014 2. Administrators Posted January 7, 2014 It wont affect your flying online. Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted January 7, 2014 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 7, 2014 What Fruitbat said. If you'd ever run that risk, by applying a fix, I would state that loud and clear, and would ask you first if you wanted to continue fixing this issue Installing a separate version of IL2 for offline play may not be a bad idea for you. As you may find out, there are a lot more mods for IL2 than just HSFX, you might like them... but the downside is, some of them will indeed make online play with us impossible. Make a backup copy of your installation of IL2 now, so you can use it now for offline play, or use it later on for the installation of other mods / modsets. Quote
Perfesser Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 you can go into the campaign files and remove everything with a .ru extension Quote
UHU_Fritzl65 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Posted January 8, 2014 i do not see the campaign folder Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted January 8, 2014 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 8, 2014 Are you looking in the Missions folder? (Like stated, ChkMods is focused on online play, not so much on offline play. So, it could very well be missing... not that ChkMods would remove it, it just ignores it, won't delete it, won't add it if it is missing.) However, I am pretty sure, once you've been able to start a Campaign, that Missions\Campaign folder will be created, it did on my system... Quote
Perfesser Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Is it all the stuff in the Dgen folder? Create a new folder on your desktop. Try moving everything in the Dgen folder that ends in "_ru" to the other folder for now. If all works fine then you can delete them for good. Quote
Perfesser Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 If your online campaigns are in russian text remove the _ru files in the NGEN folder. Also look at MessagesRu in the Ngen and Dgen if something isn't right like Russian in game text or something. If the game is looking for something it may default to a RU file for text or wave file. Get rid of it (or rename wave files - english, australian, american,etc. language renamed with _ru extension- to get what you want) I just fixed my online campaigns- all campaign names were russian text Quote
UHU_Fritzl65 Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 S! Gents after lookingaround I found out that the core files for the HSFX mods are in Russian and that is why the OFFLINE CAREERS are in russian. I tried deleting the _ru and the result was english descriptions, but when you try to start the game would beep... and that was it.. So searchjing yielded this http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=34419.0 Rename files is the answer... I will try it later this week... too tired tonight... still digging out cars in Chicago Quote
Perfesser Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Just tested offline. They start OK but freeze when I try to exit. Rename it is. Quote
UHU_Fritzl65 Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 ANother thought.... NGen.exe and DGen.exe... What if I were to do a virgin 1946 install and copy these files and the Mission folder as well as the NGen and Dgen folders..from that to the HSFX I have.... Is it the Nen and DGen which generate and populate the Missions Descriptions? I know ... its easier to make multiple installs for online, DD_Online and offline, and etc... I just can help fiddeling Quote
UHU_Fritzl65 Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 fIDDLE DEE DEE IT WORKS FOR ME FT that was the magic that link to enjoyRpatch.. thanks.. now practice practice and repeat.. When is there a regular flight>? or meeting?? Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted January 11, 2014 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 11, 2014 Good show Fritz! Today, starting around 20:00 GMT, I will be hosting Coop's, using Hyperlobby, so that one is open for others - non dangerdogz - to join. (Will be using the public TS server.) On Sundays, we usually gather on the private TS server, and decide there and then what will be next... Sundays are usually for something special, SEOW, or some special event, or one of the longer missions... (Nothing really planned at the moment) Tuesdays and Thursdays are the our regular coop sessions. Also starting around 20:00 GMT. Quote
UHU_Fritzl65 Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 FT, What are flight times on Sundays? Quote
Crash Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 20:00 GMT ish. You can see people gathering on TS if you are on the forum. Quote
