Exult Forum

Greetings, comrades!

We are a team of translators currently working on bringing the magic of Ultima 7 to Mother Russia. And we are in a desperate need of help. Basically, the translation is finished. Only two major problems remain. We've tried getting some advice on the IRC channel, but due to the lack of time we've failed. So, here we are, trying to seek the counsel of the Exult and Usecode gurus once more.

1. After the Avatar 'meets' another character, he can click on that character and his/her name is displayed. Currently, the function responsible for this feature does not display font frames above #127, being limited by the 'signed' data type. We need this limit raised up to frame #255 (changing char type to unsigned should solve this). We've submitted this issue as a bug, but still no answer.

2. Due to the complexity of the Russian language we need to reprogram the functions responsible for the trainers' texts, introducing new "trainee's gender" checks into the scipts. We've decompiled the needed usecode functions into scripts (UCXT format) using the utilities the Exult team kindly provided. But we've stumbled upon a frustrating problem - those functions do not compile back.

For example, the command

ucc.exe 0875.ucxt

results in a crash with a series of errors:

0875.ucxt:41: 'UcMessage' not declared
0875.ucxt:42: 'UcSay' not declared
0875.ucxt:42: parse error

We've consulted Marzo's excellent ES Guides and these forums, but haven't been able to find the solution for the problem.

We hope for help,
Thanks in advance!

The reason I'm hesitant about fixing the first problem in actorio.cc is the following:

http://exult.cvs.sourceforge.net/exult/ ... og#rev1.39

This commit from August 2000 adds a check to loading NPC names that explicitly stops reading at characters below 32 and above 126. The log message is:

"This one will fix the invalid characters problem. It is now not allowed to have a name with characters out of the range of c = 127. So only normal ascii characters, no extended ones."

This makes me wonder if there are some U7 versions which have invalid characters trailing the NPC names instead of a 0 terminator.

I can tell from experience that Si-French allows text with char > 128. As for the names, AFAICT, accentuated letters worked fine too. For instance, single-clicking on Dupre would give Dupré in Si-French

wjp: I'm not too good at all that technical stuff, but I wonder, what harm would it cause to allow higher-ASCII characters to be displayed on screen? As far as I know, there were only two versions of the original U7 game: 3.0 and 3.4. Maybe 3.0 had some problems with the extended characters, but I'm pretty sure 99,9% of Ultima fans are using the patched version of the game. And if that's not true, the patch is readily available now.

Artaxerxes: The reason behind Dupré's name being properly displayed is that it, like any other Companion's name, is taken from text.flx, not initgame.dat or npc.dat like any other name in the game. Try adding a higher-ASCII character to Finnigan's name, for example.

And quite a few non-English versions.

We've decompiled the needed usecode functions into scripts (UCXT format) using the utilities the Exult team kindly provided. But we've stumbled upon a frustrating problem - those functions do not compile back.

The main reason being that UCXT output is not exactly UCC friendly (the converse also being true); for example:

0875.ucxt:41: 'UcMessage' not declared
0875.ucxt:42: 'UcSay' not declared

If you switch 'UcMessage' to 'message' and 'UcSay' to 'say' in 0875.ucxt, these errors should go away; but there will likely be others.

On the other hand, WUD and WUC are completely compatible - if you don't mind writing usecode assembly.

"This one will fix the invalid characters problem. It is now not allowed to have a name with characters out of the range of c = 127. So only normal ascii characters, no extended ones."

Yeah. At least for the Ultima Collection versions, though, there are no extended ASCII chars and the c < ' ' condition is enough. I have an older version of U7 which I'll have to dig up to test it; this will not mean anything about non-english versions, though.

Posted: **Thu Jul 20, 2006 7:23 am**

The "c < ' '" condition is the one that catches the extended characters because namebuf is a signed char array. (So chars above 127 are negative.)

Posted: **Thu Jul 20, 2006 7:56 am**

because namebuf is a signed char array.

Hadn't noticed that. Still, after correcting for it, extended chars do not seem to be an issue in the Ultima Collection version. I also dug up the older version of BG (pre-FoV, don't know the exact version) and it works with it too. But once again, this doesn't give any info on non-english versions...

On the second point, I'm not entirely sure, but isFemale should work in theory, although you'd have to go through the game and ensure the female flage is set on the appropriate NPCs.

I can't recall: Is there any information in the data files as to what language is being used? We could make the character test conditional.

My guess is that you are thinking about the 'is_pc_female' intrinsic; in which case, it doesn't work for anyone but the avatar.

Their best bet would be to create a function which contains a list of (say) the female NPCs and returns true if a given NPC is in the list. Something along the lines of

Code: Select all

var IsFemale (var npc)
{
    var female_npcs = [ /* list of female NPC [i]numbers goes[/i] here */ ];
    if (npc->get_npc_number() in female_npcs)
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}

That was the intrinsic I meant, yes, sorry about that, it was just off the top of my head as opposed to from UCC or anything.

I was under the impression you could set the female flags for other NPCs in SI at least, if not in BG, and I thought the game just returned the value of the flag.

I might be wrong though. Wouldn't be the first time

Concerning the first problem:

wjp: Taking into account the fact that the c = 127 range so that we could use it? Should there be reports of it causing problems (which I doubt), you could bring that restriction back.

Or, DrCode's suggestion would be a perfect solution if that's not too hard to implement.

Concerning the second problem:

Marzo: I've tried to compile the trainers' functions following your suggestion. The same or almost the same problems appeared in every function. The compiler also complained about the lack of brackets in the Say command. After I changed all "say;" to "say();" the compiler mumbled:

UI_count_objects_28 not declared
UI_remove_party_items_2B not declared.

I wanted to kill myself, but decided to ask for help again. Is there some kind of a guide to adapting the UCXT script to UCC standards?

Posted: **Thu Jul 20, 2006 9:27 pm**

Okay, I made the change tonight so we should allow c >= 127 in NPC names. If we get reports of problems, then I'll make a configuration option. Or, maybe we could check the font to see if there are any characters above 127, since there aren't in my English version.

Posted: **Thu Jul 20, 2006 9:47 pm**

Thank you! ^_^

Posted: **Fri Jul 21, 2006 4:51 am**

UI_count_objects_28 not declared
UI_remove_party_items_2B not declared.

Ah, yes; I had forgotten that kind of thing (it has been a while since I toyed with ucxt output). In this case, removing the '_XX' at the end of anything starting with 'UI_' does the trick.

Is there some kind of a guide to adapting the UCXT script to UCC standards?

(shameless plug) Not exactly a guide, but a small introduction and a (windows) command-line utility that can partially do the job at ESGuides: UCXT to UCC guide

First of all, thanks for the char fix! The names have been translated.

Second, thanks for the trainer functions compiling tips - the editing process is about to begin.

But there's also a third issue that we need help with. As you all know, much of Britannia's charm comes from the runic font used in the game. And here comes the problem of translation. There are just not enough runes available to directly translate the signs and plaques into Russian. And of course, just replacing runes with the traditional font is not acceptable.

Here's the solution we've come up with - adding the translation written in normal font just below the runes. So, as we see it, what we're trying to do now is to rewrite and recompile the three functions: 017B, 02CB and 0334.

Using UCXT we've tried to recompile those functions. However, the 0334 function won't compile, crashing with an error 'abrt() not declared'. I guess that's another one of those UCXT -> UCC compatibility problems.

I'm asking for help again!

Thank you.

However, the 0334 function won't compile, crashing with an error 'abrt() not declared'. I guess that's another one of those UCXT -> UCC compatibility problems.

Yes it is; simply replace 'abrt()' by 'abort' throughout.

Posted: **Tue Jul 25, 2006 10:49 pm**

Hmm. After I make the aforementioned changes, the #0334 script compiles, but it breaks Penumbra's plaque puzzle. Placing the hammer near the plaque hangs up the game. What might be the cause?

Posted: **Wed Jul 26, 2006 3:48 am**

Post the script here so I take a look at it; and please enclose it in 'code' tags.

Posted: **Wed Jul 26, 2006 3:06 pm**

Here's what I tried to do. After I first discovered that the script breaks the puzzle, I took the original usecode, extracted the 0334 script from it, changed all "abrt()" commands to "abort" and immediately recompiled the script, not trying to change anything else in it. Then I inserted the result into the original usecode and tested it. It still breaks the puzzle. Here it is:

If not for the puzzle, everything else seems to be working fine (I mean the text display). I haven't tested whether the "Lord British accident" script works, though.

Here is the issue:

Code: Select all

	labelFunc0334_00C0:
		for (var0006 in var0002 with var0004 to var0005) //goto labelFunc0334_014C when done;
		if (!UI_find_nearby(var0000, var0006, 0x0005, 0x00B0)) goto labelFunc0334_0149;
		if (!(var0001 < 0x000B)) goto labelFunc0334_010D;
		var0001 = (var0001 + 0x0001);
		var0007 = UI_set_item_quality(var0000, var0001);
		UI_close_gumps();
		var0003 = true;
		goto labelFunc0334_014C;
		goto labelFunc0334_0149;
	labelFunc0334_010D:
		var0008 = UI_get_object_position(var0000);
		UI_sprite_effect(0x0007, var0008[0x0001], var0008[0x0002], 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0xFFFF);
		UI_play_sound_effect(0x0044);
		UI_remove_item(var0000);
		UI_close_gumps();
		abort;
	labelFunc0334_0149:
		goto labelFunc0334_00C0;
	labelFunc0334_014C:
		if (!(!var0003)) goto labelFunc0334_0154;
		abort;

The problem is that UCC expects a set of curly braces which ucxt doesn't add to the output. To get this to work, put a '{' below the 'for' statement and a '}' just above the line 'labelFunc0334_014C:'; like this:

Code: Select all

	labelFunc0334_00C0:
		for (var0006 in var0002 with var0004 to var0005) //goto labelFunc0334_014C when done;
		{
		if (!UI_find_nearby(var0000, var0006, 0x0005, 0x00B0)) goto labelFunc0334_0149;
		if (!(var0001 < 0x000B)) goto labelFunc0334_010D;
		var0001 = (var0001 + 0x0001);
		var0007 = UI_set_item_quality(var0000, var0001);
		UI_close_gumps();
		var0003 = true;
		goto labelFunc0334_014C;
		goto labelFunc0334_0149;
	labelFunc0334_010D:
		var0008 = UI_get_object_position(var0000);
		UI_sprite_effect(0x0007, var0008[0x0001], var0008[0x0002], 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0xFFFF);
		UI_play_sound_effect(0x0044);
		UI_remove_item(var0000);
		UI_close_gumps();
		abort;
	labelFunc0334_0149:
		goto labelFunc0334_00C0;
		}
	labelFunc0334_014C:
		if (!(!var0003)) goto labelFunc0334_0154;
		abort;

Without these brackets, the 'for' will execute only the first 'if' instead of all of the code I placed between the braces.

Just tried that. The game still hangs...

Posted: **Wed Jul 26, 2006 8:52 pm**

Oh dear... Just decompiling the script and recompiling it again helped.

Thanks!

Hello again.

We've just found out that the characters above 127 are not displayed during intro and endgame sequences. Would it be possible to fix that as well?

Posted: **Fri Sep 08, 2006 7:28 am**

Does this still need to be fixed?
This forum topic gets a lot of spam. I hope you guys resolve this issue so you can freeze the thread.

Posted: **Tue Sep 12, 2006 12:10 am**

This issue has been solved. It turned out that the intro-endgame fonts were stored in the flx files, so we just had to draw the new fonts specially for intro and endgame sequences. So the translation is complete now, thank you.
