[Cool Coyote]

Hello,

Maybe some people here remember of The Chronicles of Severian, my mod project for BG2. I was Jack the Ripper here but I have lost my account and my nickname ><

Well, I have the pleasure to announce that this mod is 100% completed after 10 months of work, developped as Cool Coyote on LEGENDES, the french community around the modding with Infinity Engine. TCOS is for the moment in final bêta testing.

But I have a big problem to translate Severian from French to English : indeed, Red Knight is now too busy for this work and so I'm looking for some people who can master perfectly english and french. I can't pay a professionnal for doing that, it's too expensive for me : more than 500 euros...

Here are the caracteristics, numbers & content of the final version of TCOS :

* CARACTERISTICS :

- Developped for BG 2: SoA and the Watcher's Keep
- Add a new NPC for your team
- WeiDU mod
- Compatibility with Mac? Must check it

* CONTENT :

- A quest in three chapters : if Charname is a woman
- A quest in one chapter : if Charname is a man
- A romance : if Charname is a woman elf, half elf, human
- Soundtrack and voice pack -in french only-
- New items
- A familiar : Onyx the Shadow Wolf
- Banters & Interjections
- New race : Halfshade -Planar-
- New kit : Outlaw -Ranger kit-

* SOME NUMBERS :

- About 3700 lines of text
- 84 banters
- 103 interjections
- 17 new items including 4 news weapons
- 22 new characters
- 21 titles of soundtrack

My English is not perfect, but my mother tongue is French. I'm a full-time student, but if you don't mind it (and my lack of time), I would be glad to help you. I already checked your project on your website and found it interesting. If you want, we can discuss of the details by PM.

I've been waiting for progress on this one. A new romance that just needs to be translated! I'm excited about it and hope to have it soon.

Topic moved to Resource Request forum, and topic title changed.

Thanks for your support, it's appreciated and I really wish this mod available for the english speakers. I have some contacts like Kurokarazu and we will do our best for releasing Severian in english version but it will take a long time.
Indeed, as you said Majes, the online translators are really horrible and I want this translation perfect.

I'm ready to accept other helps for translating that and I keep optimistic.

Severian kisses all the women of this forum and want to have a beer with the others

English translation in serious progression but not before year 2009.

say i am ranthing but after nearly whole year you really could have BAMs for items more then just colored O.o like this adamentinum plate armor covered with white paint.
dont take it to seriously, after all BAMs are nothing compared to the whole of your work. thats just my personal thoughs.
EDIT: i know my post is offtopic, but then again the whole thread is offtopic as the part above "transalation need" is maybe 1/5 of the whole. and really... reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllyyy. dont take my words to seriously =) you wouldnt belive how much i wait for this mod to be done.

No problem Irbis, I accept all comments.

But in fact, those screens are old now, the armor is more aesthetic now, I think, I have changed some details since I posted. But it's true I don't really know how to create pretty Bams, I have just imagination for the descriptions of those items. I'm better as director.

Thanks for your support, and Severian will have a beer with you if you accept.
