But transparent dialog boxes aren't needed. I could imagine that Jenova has a weird whispering voice in an alien language. And the 'Och!', 'Oh, no!' and 'It's failed' don't need a box.
Aussie and I will be doing the casting and directing together. He's in Australia, and I'm in the US, so we'll always be able to have a session with any given actor at any time of day. We plan on splitting the sessions up that way, and doing a few of them together for the more important dialogue.
The English script is so badly translated that our choices are to either relocalize the whole game ourselves (which is a lot of work), or wait for Beacause. I've seen some videos of the mod in action and the dialogue is vastly better. The original text is just bad. It's an order of magnitude worse than FF8's dialogue. It's not just spelling and grammar errors - there are far more Japanese phrases that were translated directly and make no sense in English ("Here I am, miss Yuffie" when you defeat a Pagoda boss). Trust me, we're as eager to start this as anyone else, it's just not doable using the original text.
If we could get a current or recent version of Beacause, we could start with that.
I am not so sure dlls are the answer... first it means more files scattered about, second, Aali's driver only allows you to inject 1 dll, third, even with my launcher it would just be more hassle, and fourth... don't dlls stay in memory once injected? Seems a little wasteful to me when all most people need is a few hundred bytes of free space that exists in huge quantities in the exe.
Unless you are doing something a bit more involved.
If I repaint a scene from AC as a template it will be my work. I have full copyright to it. Except for the Characters in the image. But this only matters if I would make a comic with them for profit. There is many fan work out there, which use the pics from the 10th anniversary as template, if this what you imply would be true, then all of them would be illegal.
The same would count for the countless Mona Lisa pictures you see in the commercial. If you have done the picture to 100% by yourself, then it is your work.
And this means if Square Enix would decided to use these new renders they have to ask Mayo Master if they could use them.
It is based on them, but they are not used directly. This is fan work.
No.
As I was explaining previously in this thread, the 2D artists needs to pay attention to copyright matters. Unless I can be assured that an underlying image (meaning, before photoshopping) can be used, I would rather not use a derivative work. Image alteration doesn't not change ownership. The question I would have is: if you change an image so much that the original is no longer recognizable, would copyright still apply? I don't know where the law stands on the matter.
We in Team Avalanche have to walk a fine line in order to remain within the context of fair use to merely apply our mods to the game. Last thing we want is to have to debate of fair use during the making of each of the scenes. I hope you understand what we have to deal with, and that's also why I have refrained from applying filters on googled images to do the trick. So, that's why I need help, and that's why these images would take time in the making.
When ficedula enables his xml export feature, we'll need to go through the script and weed out the dialogue that won't be voiced ("Item Received" and things like that). We should put in some placeholder sounds and play through some of the game's areas just to make sure Ultrasound works in every case.
I've written up most of the audition threads. I just need to find some good lines that allow the actors to show off their skills. When the threads are posted, I'll make a new thread here, and you can share the links with your cast and any other people you think might be interested.
Anyway, That's a fair call and I had a feeling it would come to that anyway. Plus I do need a new Reno so go all out
Also yeah I can PM now. No spamming rule. Makes sense. Also again, according to Kaldarasha, I'm both Sephiroth and Hojo XD Though I know there's a better guy for Hojo out there.
So I take it I'm one of the guys, along with you and Shar, to be heading this then?
I was also going to ask ficedula if he could release whatever script he uses to generate those XML files. I'm going to eventually modify DLPB's translation a little (to standardize how multiple-choice dialogues behave) and we're going to use that for the lines.
so yes - I'll make that dialogue export tool available in a future version.Can you work with this?If it's OK for you to get an impression then I will go on and make more scenes.
That sounds great, but yeah you haven't uploaded it yet.

This will be a long time project and I think best is to start with the bombing mission, so we will see how well this willlooksound. However only one channel for the ambient sound might not be enough.
Well I'm looking forward to it.
The programmer of the tool wasn't active here since a few days so he hasn't seen your post. I haven't tested the tool by myself expensively, means I didn't played around with the scripts and how to set them up properly. In theory it should work and like the way it operates it is very independent from the flevel.lgp. I guess you should make a preview scene with the tool I think the big scene when the player enters the 7th Heaven bar the first time is a good scene for a preview and to test the tool.
It also would help to find early a working structure so we can set up the mod manger 7th Heaven for it properly.
I guess the consensus is that we'll use DLPB's translation? I'll check out ficedula's download to see how the files are named and structured.
I can do the directing, as long as someone else does the management (the casting, getting a list of lines, etc). I'd also be willing to help out in some of the management, perhaps coming up with audition lines and maintaining the audition forum threads and stuff like that.
