[Announcement] AdvanceMap 1.9, Translators wanted

[LU-HO]

Hi everyone

Soon it's going to be here.
The newest version of the *Best Map editor of the World* (AdvanceMap for short) ;) is going to be ready soon.
Currently I'm still looking for people who want to translate the new language files for me.

Please contact me via Private Message.
Also tell me what language you are able to translate to.

PS: There'll be some new things, but what exactly is going to be a surprise. *My lips are sealed*


Hello everyone

@all: if you want you can translate AdvanceMap to your language as you please.
if you want i will include your translated file in the next language pack, ask me first though, perhaps another person is also working on the same language.


PS: if you haven't seen it yet, AdvanceMap 1.90 is released: http://www.pkmncommunity.com/showthread.php?p=3350849

[axlefoley]

Nice good luck with it LU-HO. Unfortunately I only speak 2 languages fluently English and Bad Inglish (LOL)

[Poke-Roy]

Nice the new AM :D
Good luck finding them translators:)
I would help but I am not that good of a translator..XD
BOL!

[Trace]

Whoa! Another AM~

Good luck with it.

Ciao~

[Frostbite]

Oh wow, another Advancemap?

That's just awesome, I'll be looking forward to that...

I hope it has stable FR tile byte behaviors like Ruby had >:(

[Jolteon1]

yay
a new version!
cant wait for the release

[itman1234]

Awesome, an updated A-map!
This rocks! I can't wait for it to be finished!
I'm going to try it first thing!

[pokemon time]

cool good luck i cant wait

[Martin™]

I can translate from English to Slovak/Czech. Your program is quite appreciated in Slovak/Czech hacking community (although it's small) and therefore I can translate it to both languages. I sent you a PM, too.

Cheers!

[BlackRainbow*]

I can translate from English To slovenian. Well there are not many hackers is slovenia. But there are some and slovenian translation will be really great.

[wakachamo]

Already sent you a PM on my details for when I get the English INI file. I'll be happy to translate from English to Portuguese. ;D

[Wind~]

will it have different palette edits without doing it yourself?

[Dan123412]

Wow, I'm so excited that there's going to be a new version!

[itman1234]

Could you give us an estimate on when it will be finished?
E.g. 1 month...etc... (i hope not that long!)

[liuyanghejerry]

Maybe I can try to translate it to Chinese, but the problems is that I don't have via Private Message(Beause i'm a Chinese,never use it)

[Kirlay]

Cool! But... not me ^^;

PS: I have searched two hours trying to find the latest AdvanceMap, (1.8 or something?) Can someone give me a link? I'm stuck with an old version. =(

[Darthatron]

I'd translate, but the only language I know besides English is Australian! XD

The latest version can be found here (http://amneu.no-ip.info/).

I must only fixe some smalle bugs.
but the most time i must wait, is for the translations.

LU-HO, you are so highly respected among hackers xD

I can't wait to see the new version, and I'm really anticipating the new "surprises"

The only language besides English that I know is Hebrew, but I don't think its that big of a language to have it translated.

lol, thats the only other language i know too!
I kind of know spanish, but not good enough to traslate it.

Good luck on the a-map, i can't wait to see what the suprise is!

[Reaper 6]

do u have to change the pallets in the tiles or will the new one do that for u when u insert a new tileset because im sick of changing the pallets its too hard and takes too long

[Virtual Chatot]

That would be nice, but I doubt it would include that feature

[Twilite Darkrai]

I can translate it to spanish!

Really!

PM me if you're interested!

I'm ready to help from now!

[LU-HO]

Sorry i do not unterstand what you mean with this exactly

[Reaper 6]

Sorry i do not unterstand what you mean with this exactly

i mean that when u go into the block editor and put new tilesets and blocks in it changes the pallet automaticly and u dont have to do it manully because that sucks. Do u understand now if u dont here is a better understanding if ive got fire red and want to change the tiles to shiny gold then i would need to change the pallets as well but does this new a-map do that for u it would be better

[Virtual Chatot]

I understand want he wants, he wants Auto-Pallet editing whenever someone edits the Tileset

[Reaper 6]

I understand want he wants, he wants Auto-Pallet editing whenever someone edits the Tileset

yes because it makes it alot easyer

[itman1234]

I think that's not a big deal to do, and it would be nice, but it's not needed.
I think what's most needed is a way to make something one tile.
Example, the tree.
Instead of constantly clicking each piece, why not have a thing where you can highlight it and make it one tile, it would make mapping much faster.

That's what i would like, please don't think its stupid!

i think it is a big thing because alot of people like me cannot pallet and ive tried i just cannot pallet tiles so this would be easyer

[itman1234]

Another thing that would be good is an way to just import a tile set into block editor, instead of recoloring it in paint. This way, there can be more than 1 pallete.

wait so if ive got the shiny gold tiles and the fire red tiles i just recour the fire red tile to the coulor of the shiny gold tiles in paint then reinsert the fire red tiles is that right

That's not possible. It's easier to edit the palletes directly with a Hex-Editor than to write such a function into AdvanceMap.

You cant do that, it's inbuilt into the rom, meaning the palettes have their own offsets. Inserting a tileset with new palettes will just stuff it up.
If you don't want to palette edit, dont. Just insert tiles with the same palette.

Other hackers take time doing their tiles and palettes, you should too, if you want it to look good..

Ctrl+middleclick on mouse, hold and highlight the desired tiles and then, just pull your fingers off those buttons - there will be a little window displaying what you have selected. When you click on the area of map, it pastes the selection of tiles.

I've found this function randomly. Now it helps alot :) It's somehow size limited, but you can copy one small town or half of a city this way :)

The Slovak translation progress: Main menus, and started some more things ;)

Cheers!

Czech translation: Will start right after finishing Slovak.

Hah, it's amazing how many people don't know how to do this although I guess it's not really in any tutorials.

@LU-HO: I can do the English translation if it's in German.

[Mastermind_X]

Just wondering what the "surprise" could be...? ;-)

[Time]

Sweet. I am excited as ever.
I am supporting this all the way.

I can translate it from English to our language, maybe, but I guess we can understand English and ther are only less hackers from my country...

Let me know if ya wanna include our language to translating it. :)

Wishing ya the best of luck~

[Twilite Darkrai]

LU - HO I have sent you a PM please answer me... ^^

[score_under]

I have some simple suggestions:
When you open a file (CreateFile()) use FILE_SHARE_READ on the sharing argument. This will allow other programs to simultaneously decompile scripts from it.

When another file is opened, can you close the existing file handle please?

Thanks.

PS. Can't wait - this is the only other ROM-oriented tool I have used (apart from VBA) to help me making pksv.

[Link2999]

I must only fixe some smalle bugs.
but the most time i must wait, is for the translations.

if i have all translations, i will releas it.$
greetz LU-HO

If that's the way you wanna go you should break the translators into teams. German or English is supposed to be the official languages I guess, so have groups of about 5 or 6 translate from those [starting languages] into the new languages.
ie.
English > Spanish
English > Chinese
or it can continue from the translated language into a new language
Spanish > Chinese

I'm not sure if it makes complete sense, but it's a general outline.

[Wind~]

can you estimate when this is released.
just wondering...

[Martin™]

Slovak language INI finished. (by me) ...Now we are one step closer to reach AM 1.9. And LU-HO, can you send me AM 1.9 language file? I need to copy strings from the translated 1.82 file into 1.9. Or, you will do that by yourself when you get the file? Please, PM me. ...Now, I am gonna do Readme. Enduser.dat is already done.

Cheers!

[Shadow-of-the-apocalypse]

i could like translate it to irish lol ,that would be kinda waste of time eh?

[tare9]

Im a beginner in here, but i know French and Spanish...
If you wont im ready for the new job :) :) :)

[Dan123412]

LU-HO, could you add Auto-Pallete into the Block Editor? Like, when you load the tileset into Advance Map the palletes from the edited tile will load.

[makunouchi]

Wow,i thought Lu-Ho was just a myth...
And i don't know if a-map can be any simpler.
Maybe the connections can be polished a bit because i don't understand a single thing.

Hi, no I'm real^^ (but my name is written "LU-HO" in uppercase)

After i releas the version AM1.90 i will start to make many Tutorials to describe each menu and each function of AdvanceMap, with many screens, so each one will unterstand it.

greetz LU-HO

[itman1234]

lol, i can't wait >_< I can barely hold my excitement!
How many languages do you have done already?

[Kristian]

Hey LU-HO, is the behaviour types in FireRed gonna be right in 1.9? Like they are in Ruby?

[Mike2494]

I am really excited, because I personally think the AM 1.8 is already perfect, so anything better has to be like...well great....

Do you think you could give us a few screenies of it?

greetz LU-HO

it is posible to put in a autopallet it just reqiers lots of time and coding

[Kristian]

there is no need for auto pallet..just learn to palette editing urself..its very easy..
besides, is he was gonna do that now, then amap 1.9 wouldn't be released for alont time :o

[Antwhan]

just posting a thought here...

if it's being translated atm, then does that mean the english version is complete? cause it seems liek it's being translated from english into the other languages.

so does this mean that it is technically ready for release in at least one of the languages, if you don't mind me asking LU-HO?

Technically, that's true, since LU-HO speaks english, and he's having other people translating it.

[D-Trogh]

Erm.. LU-HO is a native German if I'm correct.. So the first language AM is 'produced' (can't find better word XD) in, is German..
Yes, the second lanuage probably is English.. MEH

Anyway, I think LU-HO just wants to wait till he thinks he has enough supported languages.
Besides, do we know, for 100%, that AM is 100% completed.. :-\ I don't think so, until LU-HO states it is, for me it's still under 'development'.
(BugFixes maybe..)

[D-Trogh]

[mistersmeargle]

i could like translate it to irish lol ,that would be kinda waste of time eh?

Well, yeah, but it's always possible there are some hackers in the Gaelteacht I suppose.
I might be able to help with the French translation, I'm fairly good at it.

[Antwhan]

I knew he was German and that's something that had me confused greatly. Would have thought he might have requested an english translator, then realized he must know english himself then.

I agree, it is better to wait till all the bugs are worked out. And no I'm not in a hurry to get it, it just was somthing that sparked my curiosity atm.

also realized i hit 100 posts w/ the last one mking this 101st one :P

[Scorp Con]

I have a question... Are you gone make Tile Editing in A-Map easier? Because it's really glitchy, even when the tile is right...

[Reaper 6]

there is no need for auto pallet..just learn to palette editing urself..its very easy..
besides, is he was gonna do that now, then amap 1.9 wouldn't be released for alont time :o

but i have tryed to learn thats why some people need auto pallet

[Visual]

but i have tryed to learn thats why some people need auto pallet


Get over yourself.
I don't want to sound offensive, but if you want other people to do things for you, there your going to get no where. Learn it, it's the most simple thing i've seen. Plus, how would he imput a tool into a program that needs the whole window? And just inserting a tileset with a different palette would be a whole new story, you'd have to recolour everything to make it all the same.

[Derlo]

The new version was very good..But the language PORTUGUESE of BRAZIL no this working... and some codes of the behaviour types in FireRed still don't work. Example the 03 (animation of the high gram, that I verified that the rom has the animation) but the command doesn't activate.

Even with those small problems the version 1.9 this wonderful one!!

Thank you very much for that!

good-bye!
(I am Brazilian and I wrote that with a translator's help. XD)

[D-Trogh]

Yeah.. The new AM is very nice, the WorldMap Editor is sweet!
But, the Dutch language file isn't very good.. I'll try to 'update' the INI-files soon.

[D-Trogh]
Yes I'm native SWISS German.
And yes the second one was english, so i can geht the file to the translators, mostly only can english, not german.
and yes i wait for more languages...

a tool is "never" finished there are always things that could be add in an usable and logical way.

I knew he was German and that's something that had me confused greatly. Would have thought he might have requested an english translator, then realized he must know english himself then.

I can speak english, but a translater can it better (see translations information under About^^)

I have a question... Are you gone make Tile Editing in A-Map easier? Because it's really glitchy, even when the tile is right...
I dont unterstand what you mean with "make it easier", it is very simple to edit with...
pleas read the "readme english.txt" of the new Version, there are now the Hot Keys for working in AdvanceMap (they work since AM ver 1.50, or earlier.... but no one have read the releas node...)

The new version was very good..But the language PORTUGUESE of BRAZIL no this working... and some codes of the behaviour types in FireRed still don't work. Example the 03 (animation of the high gram, that I verified that the rom has the animation) but the command doesn't activate.

good-bye!
(I am Brazilian and I wrote that with a translator's help. XD)
Thx für the information, i will fix this in the next languagepack.
For Firered only part of the behaviour is tested, and the one from RSE is copied.

Yeah.. The new AM is very nice, the WorldMap Editor is sweet!
But, the Dutch language file isn't very good.. I'll try to 'update' the INI-files soon.
The dutch translator haven't yet send the finished translation file...
