How the Russian version is localized: it straight up uses entirely different versions of fonts, specifically Arial -> Arial_Cyr

Now, I was confused by this at first because you can't just replace a string that's too short.

So, I guess the natural assumption is this is a different build? (meaning the source code was directly modified..)

I was so mystified how they did it at first, like were they reverse engineering, but probably no.

 

I did try searching for empty 00 spaces but couldn't find them.

Also I hear apparently you can add additional PE sections with data? big if true.

Honestly I don't really get direct exe patching yet so I'd rather stick with my dll now.

for reference

Not sure how much /reverseengineering/ this is at this point, but I'm gonna add some more details about what I did yesterday.

Originally, my goal was to translate the game to a language that uses cyrillic and 4 extra letters (therefore, 8 extra symbols)

I decided to mod the original English build.

Now, Petz can only scan 1 byte at a time as I saw from researching the function that reads translationkit.exe. It processes text as 1 byte at a time. Therefore, we cannot use unicode. Seems like the program is using ANSI.

But, Windows ANSI code page has a lot of extra symbols, not just the alphabet and the numbers. (pic1) It has 256 symbols I'm pretty sure.

I decided to replace 0x80-0x88 symbols with the ones I need. Where? In a .ttf font.

But this means I would have to type these symbols to make them show up. (pic2) I guess I'll translate first and then use "search and replace". I also replaced the extended latin symbol with cyrillic.

The in-game result as follows on pic3.

Now, you can see the text is kinda fucked up, it's because ttf's have offset info for letters which I have to fucking fix now. Oh well.

I'm also a bit concerned about the exe strings but if we're using the new font it shouldn't be a problem I think... Maybe I'll skip them though idk.... or I will have to make yet another hook fuckkkkk

 

 

This also means I will have to go into detail of HOW we're going to load the .ttf into the game. I tried looking into exe editing, etc etc, but DLL seemed the easiest. But I don't understand it well enough yet so I will write a report sometime in the future.

Ah yes, mathematics and basic physics too of course.

Also it'd be interesting to build a path from electricity to technology, in fact there are youtube videos on this exact subject. I sure love youtube for how it enables information exchange.

 

...there's actually a LOT of videos on the subject.

YouTube: HaBMAD-Dr8M this is about the logic gates for example

Animal husbandry if you want to separate it from agriculture. Canines were domesticated very early on, way before than any livestock, and I'm sure their domestication helped with other animals.

Making fabrics and clothing from fur and leather (tanning!), and from various suitable plant materials (perhaps nettle).

I wonder when they started to make cordage. They could use various plants as is, but as with fabrics, some plants can be processed into fibers, and from fibers they could make cordage/rope.

 

Frankly they figured out Five C of basic self-reliance:

- cutting tools

- cordage

- cover (clothing and shelter, preserving body temperature)

- combustion devices (making fire)

- containers (not necessarily clay pots and such, but stuff like hollowed tree trunks and whatnot)

 

Also they did agriculture as hunter gatherers: they had a travel cycle, places they visited year round, and they saw seeds at one place (without much cultivation) and when they returned there were some consumable plants, berries, leafy "vegetables", tubers, etc.

Very basic physics, chemistry and biology stuff would make a huge difference. Basics of mechanics and its mathematical handling, making magnets out of iron and electric circuits out of copper, basic hygiene to prevent the spreading of disease etc

 

Basic technology like the printing press, boiling wood pulp to extract cellulose etc.would an enormous difference. Eg. papermaking and the printing press would allow a very vibrant intellectual life to flourish

I should've finished my nanoelectronics degree :DD i could've been working on elbrus now

Oh btw Munich is building those too

 

 

I just noticed we had /tech/ all this time, should've been posting there.

Man develops an OS to the point where it can use browsers and the Internet.

Which surprises me. Browsers nowadays are quite complex, especially security wise. He does say he did not take security into consideration much, though.

I can't watch all of it right now but I do want to save this here.

The reason why kohlchan threads suck is because everyone is trying to stay on page one, and the demographic of kohlchan is white older men. This is why porn and shock videos are posted all the time, and why they are so rude, they want attention and they want people to reply and click on there thread.

Honestly I've been spending too much time on the Internet posting my attempts at technical writing.

I enjoy it but it takes away from me, so I'll have to cut on how much I read and process. I am not the only one like this.

 

I think it's best to make a strong summary in the beginning or a good structure so people can know what you're talking about by skimming. I know I don't really do that all the time, but that's cause I mostly write stuff down as a reference for myself.

 

Personally I think .rip could do well as an idea/info exchange platform or informational blogposting. I really like that old thread about China and Western propaganda for instance. This was the inspiration for my generals. In an ideal world I'd attract people who like to research, explore, and share information.

I enjoy it but it takes away from me

 

Most of your post have better quality then maybe 69% of org threads, 87% of all KC threads, your posts help KC.rip a lot. However sometimes I struggle with what to say or if I’m even qualified to say everything at all.

 

This, but I don’t want KC to look like kohlchan and just become a news channel. The best threads are the silly ones that leave you happy. I like obscure topics and information, they make for really fun threads.

I recently learned that science actually doesn't know what gravity is, doesn't know what an atom looks like, doesn't know what light is, doesn't know the origin of the Universe and to top it all off, we now think that time doesn't even exist.

Humans Just make words up for said stuff,etc.

Yup,welcome to the club.

Maybe that's where some of the beef in McDonalds is coming from? Jk....I hope. Cannibalism is yuck,long pork is what some call human meat,tastes kinda like chicken i heard but still yuck. Also,organ harvesting possibly?

Its called Munchausen By Proxy. Its a psychiatric condition where a person has a morbid fascination with Medicine and Health Care in general, tends to lionize doctors and nurses, and is attention-seeking. The person wants to be a "hero" and will injure or harm a patient or relative and then take steps to save them just in time or notify staff.

Other times they outright kill a patient by believing their were "ending their suffering".

 

They should be simply called serial killers and should be dealt with in the same way as other serial killers. They cannot be reformed because it is a severe mental health condition.

To be honest most of space has no star activity.

Agreed 🤝

The sheer size of space means its impossible to have Star Wars or to have patrolled Territories.

It makes for good entertainment though.

Bend over and find out.

I'll answer seriously. The real question is in the first moment, why someone would like that. Let's imagine a common homosexual fetish like shit eating for example. At some point it must have seemed normal enough to just try sticking your tongue in some shit. What turns it into a fetish though is rewarding yourself with an orgasm each time you do to the point you create a path of behavior that releases chemicals needed in the brain. So what possesses someone to try in the first place? Social instruction embedded in cultural brainwash? Sadness and pain? Self loathing? The mere fact it is forbidden alone is not enough of an explanation, otherwise everyone would be doing it and it would no longer be taboo so no one would do it anymore.

goodness gracious

what the FUCK?! desmos is a CHEAT CODE for the SATs???

This would be true if some faggot didn’t make Desmos Texas state testing Standard

 

 

However a lot of what he says is still true.

Oh boy.

Would you make one? or an article?

I do also sometimes encounter things that are not spoken of. I think it's good to elaborate on them at least somewhere.

Perhaps one day I could make a chemiball comic or something to inform my audience.

Very Doubtful.

Now I'm thinking an antiverse is when they write a verse without rhythm and rhymes.

Mk

Yesh

what's your credentials son do you have a big fancy degree?

No, I just like chemiball.
