Subject: Simple instructions how to get Original gfx & sound to Reloaded? Hello! Can anyone give me simple instructions how to get original M.A.X. gfx and sfx to Reloaded? It is possible, isn't it? The install readme talked something about original gamedata and an upcoming script to help with that, but nothing really helpful Anyone?

Subject: Simple instructions how to get Original gfx & sound to Reloaded? At the moment you cannot get the graphics out of the max.res very easy. There is an res-hacker from the russian-community but with this programm you have to get every picture seperatly and this will be a lot of work. But i am working on an install script which will get all necessary graphics and sounds out of an original Max-installation and copy them into the folder-structure of MAX-Reloaded automatically. Until this is done you have to play with the graphics from the unofficial part or get them out of the max.res on your own. I am sorry... DoctorDeath

Subject: Simple instructions how to get Original gfx & sound to Reloaded? Welcome on the bbs, Nix Feel free to ask anything that's on your mind. Nobody will tell you to use the bbs-search first We hope we've the script to get needed gfx from original max into one of our next releases. It has fairly high priority, since the unofficial part isn't exactly legal. Where are you from and, I'm sorry I've to ask, what languages do you speak? We really need people for the translation stuff

Subject: Simple instructions how to get Original gfx & sound to Reloaded? Thanks for the help DoctorDeath and beko, and hello I'm from Finland and I speak & write finnish and english fluently, and swedish a bit. If that language repertoire helps with translation, I'm glad to help out if I can spare time. I've got 2 small kids so I really don't have much of that precious time I've been playing M.A.X. for 10 years, and I have the original copy, so I know what the menus etc. are supposed to read in english at least. I really support your project as I think M.A.X. is a brilliant game with multiple strategic elements that many new games are still missing. PS. Post more in English, I'm sure many people lurking on these forums would appreciate that

Subject: Simple instructions how to get Original gfx & sound to Reloaded? oj, du pratar svenska också. det är lugnt D I'd be happy to add a finnish translation to MAXR. It's pretty simple to create a lang file. However don't start with the current file because I changed the lang files a lot in our SVN. I'll send you some information on how you can help us here soon As for the post-on-english please.. this is/was initially a german bbs and our international audience is quite new here. I'm still not sure how to deal with this. Suggestions are welcome! Problem here is that many germans on the bbs don't speak english very good (or at all). Thus kept in mind I'm not willing to sacrifice half of the community by writing everything on english. So we started to write topics related to MAXR on both - german and english. BTW: I make sure the other devs use as much english as possible in the SVN and the source so anybody can keep track of ongoing work on MAXR

Subject: Simple instructions how to get Original gfx & sound to Reloaded? Brr... whole finnish translation, I doubt I'll have time for that. Full-time work and family takes care of that. And besides, I'm sure most Finns are quite comfortable with the english version Just give me some info on how to report bugs, which version to test and where to submit suggestions, I'm glad to help with small stuff like that. I have at least some nit-picking on the 0.1.2 english translation, if nothing else The language issue is quite complicated, yeah... the community gets kind of split up if you have own forums for different languages, but on the other hand a multilingual forum gets very confusing at times... but I think the multilanguage solution you have going on at the moment suits well for a small community. I suggested more posts in english because that could attract more people to be interested in your project, which would be good in the long run. Posting everything in german and english if you can write both would be an option, but that'd awful lot of work wasted on just posting in the forums... Well, whatever, I don't mind the german posts, I'm just happy I found these forums and the fact that Max Reloaded - project is alive and kickin'

Subject: Simple instructions how to get Original gfx & sound to Reloaded? Bytheway, we also made a tool to get Graphics out of the max.RES Lordcroc's Version can extract them. But maybe, its not so useful then the russian one's ^^

Since we use SVN anyone speaking finish could support the translation anytime. Perhaps you know more people around that would like to support MAXR.
