Thank you for making this for everyone.  The team always appreciates any help received from the community in making Floris more refined or more accessible.

Edit:  I must say that I like how you retextured the character creation screen.  If you wanted the photoshop file itself that could be provided, but your method looks great.

I'm glad that you like it.  ! If you prefer, I could translate the original one, too.
But I think,  the general reports screen really needs a make over. Other presentations, menus and the whole mod are gorgeous and this screen doesn't fit the style. If there is a possibility to include a 'small art work' for this screen, I would like to make one. I thought of an opened book or something similar.

Thats possible, though it should be noted that we have started a background mesh overhaul with a certain theme. This should beautify things a fair bit, but if you would like to have a go at the bundled reports nonetheless, you are more than welcome to do so. You might want to allign whatever design you come up with with this though.


Also added this to the contribution sticky

I made a rough sketch.

Oh, I have just seen your background screen... I think yours fits better and it would be wonderful to have Floris in this style.
Should I make a new sketch with your background?

Its mostly wingcuts work I like your idea as well though, if we can get some better book (mainly the paper/pages) and table textures, i would be more than happy to alter the report screen to fit it.

If you can do that, certainly

I could see some nice uses for the image you already have if you want to host it.

Many thanks for the German translation .

I was wondering tough... can these files be only used with Expanded, or do they also work with Gameplay and Basic? I haven't got much experience with the language files.

They should work for Expanded, Gameplay and Basic. If a string is not used in other versions of the Mod and it can still be found in the translation file then it won't show up in game. I guess, in Basic or Gameplay there are no unknown or changed string names, that are not listed in this translation files. Otherwise, you get the original English term instead of the translated one.


However, I have to admit, that I found two terms in the game, that refuse to be translated  . They are listet in the translation files, but ingame the English term is still showing up. I'm working on that, hope I can fix it.

Ok, I have made a small art work for you. I have a 1024x2024 image (I can provide it as .dds) with and without some ornamentation.

And that is how it would probably look ingame if no changes are made for font size and columne positions.
As you can see, if the font size would be a little bit smaller, the two columnes a bit closer together and a blank line is added after the columne headers, then it would fit fine.
And of course, the black lines have to be removed!

What do you think of that?

I will also make a background image using your prefered style (wingcuts work). Just wait 24 hours, then it will be done and you can choose between both of them.

Edit: Ok, I couldn't wait 24 hours. Here you are!

'Windycut-Style' 1024x1024 and possible ingame view:

'Combination' 1024x1024 and possible ingame view:

I can't decide what I prefer, so what do you think?.

I like the book idea - it does fit along with the character creation background mesh - but the pages are a bit too white: maybe if you use the old paper texture for the book too? Also, the wooden table on the background looks to be of a little bit low quality. Here is a 7zip-file with the paintshop multilayer image of wingcut's background mesh, along with the old paper texture and a few Gutenberg Bible pages that we used (for the flowerly thingies at the edge). I'm very interested in the .dds files of your work .

On a completely unrelated note, would you mind if I would include your translations in the 2.54 installer?

Thanks for the files, I will soon make an overwork of the book idea.
And I would be delighted if you include my translation in 2.54. Maybe I can come up with the translation version 1.1 for the 2.54 installer. When do you need the corrected version?

Actually, the program I use has some language files that create the installer in the correct language of your choosing, which is pretty neat . There are a few things tough that still need to be translated:
and:
About a version 1.1: the sooner the better . I don't know how much work you still need to do for a new version?

Also, could you also make English, French and Polish .dds versions of the modified character creation screen?
I'm going to include all three translations that have been made, as you might have guessed .

You are changing the background image on the English version?

Miladies, milords - I did my very best...

Here is a 7zip-file with the modified character creation screens in English, German, French and Polish. (I have added a prefix to each file to identify them easily).

Spoiler

In the next screen you'll have to choose which version to install. These are the choices:

Floris Basic Mod Pack: This gives you Native with some extra music, sounds and items. There are almost no graphical improvements and no added scripts or features. Just plain Native with something extra.

Floris Gameplay Mod Pack: This has all the scripts and features of the full version, but with a lot less items, music and sounds. Also quite a lot of graphical improvements are absent. If you want to experience all the Floris features but don't have a powerfull computer, this is the one for you.

Floris Expanded Mod Pack: The full version with everything Floris has to offer.

Floris Dev Suite: This is a special version for modders and devs who wish to tamper with the source and build their own versions.

You can install multiple versions at the same time.

An uninstaller will be created, for easy removal of your installed versions.

This is the translation of the installer files. I have chosen a formal address (using the German 'Sie' for 'you') regularly used in German Auto-Installers. But if you prefer the informal one (German 'Du' for 'you', which means you are very familiar to the person), I will change it. However, I wouldn't suggest it, since you risk to sound a little bit unprofessional or childish . There is just one thing left: Does the term 'source' in the explanation of the Dev Suit mean 'source code' or something like 'origin'/'original files'? I thought of 'source code' but I am not sure.

For this sentence I have to kinds of translations -  a rigerous and a friendlier one:
Rigorous statement (like signing a contract):
Friendlier statement (like 'to assure'):

I think it will take about one week to make the necessary changes. Does this meets your time schedule?

What do you think about my new draft of the reports background screen (1024x1024 image and possible ingame view, without changing font size and columne positions):
Should I upload the .dds and photoshop files?

I'm keeping my reply short now:

Thanks for the character creation files in the different languages .

I liked the plaques used on the table, hence that I asked imemine also for an English variant.

Thanks for the translation . I went for the friendlier statement.

A week sounds good.

This looks much better. I indeed would like the .dds and photoshop files .

Here are the .dds and .psd files of 'Reports' in book style.

I was referring to the original plain open book, but this one:
...without the artwork would be great.  I like the artwork, but it is tailored for the reports screen.  I was thinking for more generic usage.  The image as it stands looks great for the combined reports presentation.  Shifting things around to fit the artwork shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks for the .dds and the .psd-file .

The .psd-file contains the artwork as a separate layer, so that's easily chopped away for other uses than the reports screen.

Should have checked that first.  Thanks.
