Little paranoid, right? :-)
Sorry, my applications are not open source. Use them, or let them be. If you don't want to use my application, use some python script or whatever. I don't care ;-)

hi at all.

an hour ago i bought this great game after we finished EYE OF THE BEHOLDER 2 again since ages :)
it was fortuity while searching in the web for a "EoB2 icon" that i found LoG at least.

After a short try i wonder where is the german patch'? My girlfriend wanna play this game in this language.

i downloaded your extracting tool and would like to translate the "game text file" into "german".
Can someone tell me which File contains the whole GAME TEXT? Does it exist?

thank you for your help

It doesn't. If it did, someone would have made the translation by now =)

Making a 3rd party translation *might* be possible right now, but would require lots of effort, since the text is sprinkled around in various files (and, sometimes, rendered into a bitmap). The developers are aware that people want translation support, but there's no definite decision whether, or when, they would do anything about it.

Allright. Thank you for your Answer. I´ll look around in the Files maybe there is something else.
Yes i think you're right, if it does exist the job would be done by someone else :)

@RAPTOR
thank you for your amazing tool. i am now on translating the game into GERMAN. but now i have a question.
how can i inject the modified files back in to the Grimrock.DAT file?
do you have a solution or can you add a INJECT option to your tool for separately Files?
if this is possible i am able to translate the game in any languages. for now i am translating into german.

The intro is dun

thank you for a fast reply.

As I wrote in PM :-)

1) Extract files to any folder
2) Modify files and delete unmodified
3) Open DAT file, select "Patch" button, select new filename, select folder with modified files
4) Wait for repack

I don't know, you simply did something wrong :-) Maybe try to extract your modified dat file and check if your translated file is inside. If not, it was not in correct directory for import.

It links to a movie, a 2 dimensional matrix of colored pixels which are animated to create the illusion of motion.
