Thread: Lingua Materna minimod

  1. #1

    Default Lingua Materna minimod

    Lingua Materna

    v0.21
    • Venice and Silicia faction names fixed in new text.rar



    v0.2

    Features:
    • Changed faction names into their mother tongue.
    • Changed "King" titles into their mother tongue.
    • Changed all faction adjectives so they denote faction, not ethnicity. (e.g. Novgorodian, Castillian)
    • Changed all "Family Members" to either "Royalty", "Councillor", or "Knight." (Last one is for orders, might change later.)
    • Changed some of the "Prince" titles.

    Optional:
    • Changed one font file so that the faction names display all characters in game.

    Notes (important):
    • Quiet a few of the languages are not in their medieval form.
    • KOJ adjective is "Jerusalemite," which is not formally an English word.
    • The title change for Venice, Genoa, and HRE imply a Republican government system, which I'll try to implement later.
    • The optional font change will make the game feel "less medieval," but without it a lot of the characters will be invisible.
    • I am an expert in 20+ medieval tongues. Feedback/corrects are not only welcomed, but required.
    • Save Compatible.
    Looking for:
    • Someone who knows Old Church Slavonic, access to an Old Church Slavonic dictionary, or just familiar with medieval Balkan languages.
    • Someone who knows medieval Aragonese/Portuguese/Spanish.
    • Same as above for Middle French, Arabic, and Turkish.
    Credits:
    • Wikipedia
    • hekk for Old Norse
    • Echad for 5.1 Mother Tongue mod
    Installation:
    • Extract text.rar into ...\data
    http://www.twcenter.net/forums/downl...o=file&id=2003
    • For optional font change, extract font.rar into ...\data
    Attachment 13464
    • To remove optional font change, delete \data\font folder
    • To remove main mod, rename expanded_old.txt to expanded.txt, then place it in \data\text and override existing file
    Attachment 13465

    Future (maybe):
    • Implementing Venice, Genoa, and HRE with republican family tree.
    • Adding semi-full titles (e.g. "xxxx, Doxe de Venezsia", instead of "Doxe xxxx"). Currently there's a problem with epithets, resulting in "xxxx, Doxe de Venezsia the Fat."

    Mmm I'm from Catalonia (so I can help with Aragonese and Castillian), but I'm quite modern-speaker....

    Congrats on an excellent win over Germany XD

    I was actually rooting for Deutchland in the beginning, but their sportsmanship really turned me off towards the end. Ballack couldn't touch the ball without tripping someone.

    I'm a Catalan with some knowledge of medieval Catalan (this tongue you call "Aragonese", which I must advise you, it is not Catalan).

    Despite the name, Aragonese was not the major language in the Crown of Aragon. Catalan was in fact the most spoken language, because the capital city of the Crown (not the Kingdom) of Aragon, was Barcelona, in Catalonia.

    I can provide you some of the Aragonese "Expand" file text (changes marked in red):

    {ARAGON_STRENGTH}Excellent javelinmen and a good mix of infantry and cavalry.
    {ARAGON_UNIT}Almogàvers
    {ARAGON_WEAKNESS}Lacks heavy infantry and spears in early period.
    {ARAGON}Corona d'Aragó

    {EMT_ARAGON_ADMIRAL}Aragonese Navy
    {EMT_ARAGON_ASSASSIN}Aragonese Assassin
    {EMT_ARAGON_CAPITAL}Aragonese Capital
    {EMT_ARAGON_CASTLE}Aragonese Castle
    {EMT_ARAGON_CITY}Aragonese City
    {EMT_ARAGON_DIPLOMAT}Aragonese Diplomat
    {EMT_ARAGON_DOCK}Aragonese Docks
    {EMT_ARAGON_FACTION_HEIR_NAME}Príncep %S
    {EMT_ARAGON_FACTION_HEIR_TITLE}Faction Heir
    {EMT_ARAGON_FACTION_HEIR}Aragonese Heir
    {EMT_ARAGON_FACTION_LEADER_NAME}Rei %S
    {EMT_ARAGON_FACTION_LEADER_TITLE}Faction Leader
    {EMT_ARAGON_FACTION_LEADER}Aragonese Leader(Note: in my SS, I put "Rei d'Aragó" here. Just a matter of coolness for me)
    {EMT_ARAGON_FISHING_VILLAGE}Aragonese Fishing Village
    {EMT_ARAGON_FORMER_FACTION_LEADER_TITLE}Rei
    {EMT_ARAGON_FORT}Aragonese Fort
    {EMT_ARAGON_FORTRESS}Aragonese Citadel
    {EMT_ARAGON_GENERAL}Aragonese Army
    {EMT_ARAGON_HUGE_CITY}Aragonese Huge City
    {EMT_ARAGON_LARGE_CASTLE}Aragonese Fortress
    {EMT_ARAGON_LARGE_CITY}Aragonese Large City
    {EMT_ARAGON_LARGE_TOWN}Aragonese Large Town
    {EMT_ARAGON_MERCHANT}Aragonese Merchant
    {EMT_ARAGON_NAMED_CHARACTER}Cavaller d'Aragó
    {EMT_ARAGON_NAMED_GENERAL}Capità d'Aragó
    {EMT_ARAGON_PORT}Aragonese Port
    {EMT_ARAGON_PRIEST_1}Aragonese Bishop
    {EMT_ARAGON_PRIEST_2}Aragonese Cardinal
    {EMT_ARAGON_PRIEST}Aragonese Priest
    {EMT_ARAGON_PRINCESS}Aragonese Princess
    {EMT_ARAGON_SPY}Aragonese Spy
    {EMT_ARAGON_STAR_FORT}Aragonese Star Fort
    {EMT_ARAGON_STONE_KEEP}Aragonese Wooden Castle
    {EMT_ARAGON_TOWN}Aragonese Town
    {EMT_ARAGON_VILLAGE}Aragonese Village
    {EMT_ARAGON_WATCHTOWER}Aragonese Watchtower
    {EMT_ARAGON_WOODEN_CASTLE}Aragonese Motte and Bailey

    If you want me to translate more terms, just tell me and I'll do it gladly.

    Take care!

    I think I might help with the PORTUGUESE

    Em seu throno entre o brilho das espheras, com seu manto de noite e solidão, tem aos pés o mar novo e as mortas eras – o unico imperador que tem, deveras, o globo mundo em sua mão.
    On his throne amidst the glint of the spheres, with his mantle of night and solitude, at his feet the new sea and the dead years -the only emperor who truly holds the globe world in his hand.

    Well i think i can help with the portuguese. Medieval por. wasnt so difirent. The main is vocabulary... and the construction of the sentences some mostly of the words we still use but we write difirent. Anyway the important part is they sound most the same. And there some words we use now, that they didnt on Med. a friend of mine is Hístorian of portuguese Hístory. And most important if you gonna do this mod. is not mixed Spanish or cátalan with portuguese they may look similar but they are very difirent and sound very difirently. But well probably you already kown about this so just good luck and great ideia this mod

    For the installation is it the Stainless Steel data folder, or the MTW2 one?

    Am I correct in assuming that the replacement file would mess up a 6.2 version?

    I haven't touched this for a year, so probably should try it.
