Heyya there,
even i do not know if there is somebody still active in this forum, but because i had many problems with some people on HLP because of my own source code branch (which i only use myself to prevent confusion within the FreeSpace community... or for total conversations under my responsibility like Colony Wars: Remastered (aborted shortly before the finish of the Gallonigher missions due to Sony ) or StarLancer: The Sol War) back then, i try the "official" ASW forums instead .
As you may, or may not, know i did a video playthrough of Act I aswell of Act II on Insane difficulty. It was a surprisingly good success compared to other Mod Playthroughs of me. Because i have some programming, mod and fred experience, i decided to work out the Act III Part 1 dump and to use the posted (campaign) concept to finish Act III Part 1. Even i decided not to use the unfinished ships and use some "advanced" versions of the existing ones, unless i find one who want to finish them, because i do not want to invest more time in it... not least my job do not allow me to work on it very often .
Next to Act III Part 1 i decided to upgrade the previous Acts as well. So to speak bugfixing and spellchecking, to add some events that were missed, add mission loading screens (ASW3 Intro) and, most important, a complete adjustment to play all three (or two and a half ) Acts in Coop.
During the weekend i was asked if i could translate this modification to other languages, especially german, as well.
It would not be a very big deal for myself, because it is a piece of cake to create a translated version of ASW.
There is only one problem, the Intro video of this modification.
The .ogg has built-in subtitles only in english. So i have to ask, is there any high-quality version of it without subtitles? Because then i would be able to create own subtitles for it.
I ask for a high-quality version, because i have to reencode it with built-in subtitles later to maintain fs2_open support, since fso unfortunately currently does not support the extended cutscenes.tbl in which you can set a link to a subtitle file, or to use a different video file on a different language setting.
Looking forward to answers,
Novachen
Re: ASW Intro video without subtitles?
#2Well, I'm glad to see that this mod hasn't been entirely forgotten about yet! For the cutscene though, I'm afraid I don't have access to the files right now - they're on my old computer, which I donated to my parents. I probably won't be seeing that box until April, so I hope you can wait until then...

Ah it is not the problem, if it takes some time. Because i can only work myself very slow on this modification *g*. I do not think, that i will be finished with all the missions for Act III in April . And it was planned to translate it only after i have done my initial work. So take your time and i will look forward to it .
Re: ASW Intro video without subtitles?
#4Well, here's some good news: I saw the old box again earlier than planned, and recovered all the source files for the intro cutscene! the subtitle-less audio and video are up for download here (39MB). Let me know if you have any trouble making it work, I had some troubles finding a decent set of codecs.
Re: ASW Intro video without subtitles?
#5Ah, an even faster response. Thank you for the video .
I can play it without problems. So it should be no big deal to create a version with subtitles in other languages, now
Thank you very much for it. This is extremely helpful for translation efforts later.
So the last task for this video is only, to find good quality settings for a re-encode to use it in-game later without the loss of too much quality.
