Yes, you have to ask our permissions. Author rights ans sometthing like that.

There even have been issues with its having been translated into English at all. I was yelled at at first, though in the end we kind of agreed that "it's OK but only if the translation quality is high". Anyways You should ask Zini4 - the chief coder and one of them 'mental leaders' of the project - who posts here sometimes. if he doesn't you can try to find him on russian forum.

Yes, I'm not sure who else to contact other than Zini4. I want to make sure that I have permission and know who to credit before I use the Red Sands content. I'll ask if Zini4 can ask the others for permission in my stead because I have poor Russian.

Yes, I'll ask. Who else should I ask since there were multiple people who worked on Red Sands? Or are you able to contact them?
Nothing from Red Sands has been/will be implemented in the mod unless I have permission. Let me know if you or anyone else need screenshots, files, how far it is, etc info for permission. I'd also need a list of mod authors to credit if I have permission. I need to give credit where credit is due.

I translated like 10 files so far, and not sure what my progress can be by the end of this week, and the next week I won't have much time. But we shall see. Whatever is better than nothing.

Take your time. Everyone appreciates all the work you translators are doing.

[zini4_tha_grunt]

I ought to say about that.
The campaign is not totally bug fixed, there some things to be done. Until that day a strongly recommend not to use RS content.

Here, see if the translation for these files are any good, they're the last 3.

If you think the translation is decent enough I'll continue. They have the Russian dialogue and English dialogue in the same file side-by-side for comparison.

Interesting mod/expansion, great work all who did this. But since i undertand this was done by players, not official dev of game there are some problems.
1) I`ve found while lvling units there is no astral ress bonus, all other unit get physical/fire/magic/poison are added while lvling units but not astral.
2) Also in magic ball/lether dress astral ress is missing in items.txt , in medals.txt in guardian angel also astral ress missing in all 4 lvl`s.
I`ll report when i find more, i`m not trying to lower this mod, just want to help in checking things before you ppl place this on market

Oh, I heard it was done by developers and players.

I was under the impression that astral resistance was never NORMALLY allowed.

Only Gift Bag / Crossworlds really started to consider it with the Chaos Crown and Crystal Ball.

Magic Ball/Crystall Ball should apply astral resistance, unless it was a bug to begin with and they 'fixed' it.

Guardian Angel never applied to Astral Resistance as far as I know.

As to whether or not they should, that is a different question.

[Fatt_Shade]

Ok astral ress is new since CW because before that no unit had astral dmg. But guardian angel/crystal ball/leather dress have ALL resistances % and should give resistance to all types of dmg. Stone skin say res% to physical and it gives that, shield of dragon slayer say res% to fire and gives that, so it`s only normal that item/medal that say res% to ALL gives res% to ALL. Same problem i never figured out how to fix is with divine armor spell, it doesnt protect from astral dmg.
1 more prob, but it`s posible only with my game : whenever i start battle with orc saboteur in enemy army my game crashes, no matter what units i have in my army and no problems with any other of new units mystic/evil genius/ice dragon . . . only orc new unit makes this problem. Any idea`s what`s problem and how to fix it ?

EDIT: Here's what I have so far. Working backwards.

Thx all who help with translation.
Only 1 question fillyra : where to place this files you atached in eng_chat.zip ? I think in game/sessions/red_sands/localization/rus/rus_chat, but should we replace files there or just copy new you posted ?

[fillyra]

You make a new folder named eng, and another one named eng_chat in there, and put the files in there. This method won't work for everyone so I really recommend waiting until the entire translation is out.

EDIT: Also, it's probably better to wait until the entire translation is out. That way people can play the game and see if the translation needs any more work or any sort of polishing (I.E: characters sounding more a certain way or so).
