Switching languge

Jonte-san · August 10, 2001, 12:24

Hello Forum!

I've got a problem that much reminds of an thread where a person wanted help to switch from German to English.
My problem is a little bit trickier. I bought a copy of 'Ultimate Civilization II Classic Collection while I was in France. I think it's named 'Civilization II Multiplayer Gold' in it's original. I thought that like in the original CivII there should be an option to select which language you wanted to play the game in during the installation. However no such option appeared. I've also checked the .txt and there is only .fre files. Your recommendation has in other cases been to switch those files. However since I can't do that I wondered if anybody that had the same game but in the english version could send those files.
I don't have nay major problems with the french language since I've studied it. But many scenarios tend to screw up because of this change in language.

Thanks a lot if you find a solution!

All it takes is someone to copy their .txt files and zip em up and send it.There is not that many really.Should take maybe 10 minutes.

I would but...mine is mac and there is a few files that are different.I don't want to send just the ones that are the same.That would leave you hanging.

Well, that's what I hoped somebody would do. From what I have figured so ain't those files too big.
Bad luck that you couldn't send them. I do have the PC version.

Thanks anyway!

Is there really nobody out there that could take a few minutes of their life and send me those files, please?

Post your email address and advise if you can received win zipped files?

Julius Brenzaida · August 13, 2001, 16:57

Yes, I can send them to you too, if you want to change !
I can even do more

Indeed, you need to copy the .txt files into. fre, 'cause the french version of the game will only read the .fre

I've already done that for myself and would gladly send you the final work

Just send me your e-mail.
In fact your only problem, might be that my files are for my no-limits patch. But it is only bonus and doesn't alter the game at all

Thanks a lot for your help. My e-mail address is jonas_ryberg@hotmail.com
And I think Hotmail is able to receive files up to 1 MB so there should be no problem. I would be very grateful if both up you could send the files if one set wouldn't work.

If you want to you can attach the files directly here in the thread.
Anyway there's a direct link to my e-mail address above this message.

Thanks!

Here they are, zipped of course.
If you want it to work fine, you need to install either :
MGE 1.3 international version !
Or my no-limits add-on (1.3+gigamaps)
Both of them are available in the Apolyton Database.

Could anyone send me the english game files also.

email: matthias@will.nu

Thanks.

Which files do you need? BTW, I have the original (1996) and multiplayer. Not Gold. Wonder if that matters.

matthiaswill · September 22, 2001, 14:27

I'd need all english text files that are in the distribution.

I don't know if the version matters, I have MGE, but I will try.

Just send them via email to matthias@will.nu

Thanks in advance.

Mathiaswill, if you read the whole thread, you'll see that I've already put the files to download

When shall I be able to download 'crusades'?

(take your time Julius; this is just for fun)

Mon cher Lafayette, la patience est la mère des vertus

Je pourrais proposer un résumé circonstancié des milliars de choses à faire qui m'ont accablé ces dernières semaines

Mais, je préfère simplement m'excuser platement

Normalement, cette fin de semaine, j'aurai enfin du temps

Jérusalem sera libérée, c'est seulement une question de temps

La Fayette · September 27, 2001, 14:18

Aucun problème, Julius
1) J'ai une patience d'ange
2) Je suis très occupé avec le grand jeu-concours organisé par les Gits ('Come, laugh at the SGs'). Je viens de terminer la conquête du monde et je crois bien que je vais tenter le lancement du vaisseau spatial vers Alpha du Centaure.

Ange ou démon. Telle est la question

En tout cas, j'ai maintenant joué mes 10 tours

Nous allons pouvoir cesser de polluer cette rubrique
