Freeplay Start 'Italian translation'

[Darimar]

Hi all,
I'm Alessandro from Italy.

http://darimar.altervista.org/zona/

I'm making a personalized version of Freeplay Start and I'm translating it into italian language. It is difficult to find some textual strings, so I'm here to ask help.
For example, where can I find the message text that compare when I use the inv_ruck?

Thx in advance, greetings from Italy!

N.B. Ehm, sorry for my (not_so_good) English!

where can I find the message text that compare when I use the inv_ruck?

You have to check bind_stalker.script for this strings:

level.map_add_object_spot_ser(ruck.id, "red_location", "%c[255,238,155,23]Моя нычка для хабара")
news_manager.send_tip(db.actor, "Тайник заложен.", nil, nil, 5000)

[Darimar]

Yeah, thx a lot!
We'll meet again here, I think to have many other questions to ask
Bye for now and thx again!

[Darimar]

Another question: which files are involved in setting the character's starting equipment?

[kstn]

fs_config_loadouts.ltx will make you happy.

[Darimar]

I'm very happy, indeed! Thx!
The question of the day is... I have found a little add-on for Freeplay Start, here:

viewtopic.php?f=12&t=257

It seems to add a "news system" in AMK-style (very interesting thing!). I downloaded the file (amk_news_main.script) and copied it into gamedata\scripts folder. But I have not noticed any news: it seems it doesn't work. Any suggestion about it?

amk_news_main.script is just the FIX to this addon. It will not work without full package of files. You should try to find full version of this addon for Freeplay Start.

[Darimar]

Oh, I understand...
Ehm... can someone help me to find the complete add-on? I've tried to find it but it is very, very difficult (in particular for me, searching on russian sites )...

Is there a way to make traders sell certain items ONLY IF the Character belongs to their Faction?

[XiaNi]

yes, there is
for example:

config/misc/trade_barman.ltx -- in original stalker

[trader]
buy_condition = barman_generic_buy
sell_condition = {+yan_labx16_switcher_primary_off} barman_after_brain_sell, {+bar_darklab_document_done} barman_after_darkvalley_sell, barman_start_sell
buy_supplies = {+yan_labx16_switcher_primary_off} supplies_after_brain, {+bar_darklab_document_done} supplies_after_darkvalley, supplies_start

what he sells depends on main quests completion infoportions
we can add functions to check community
original FS:
misc/trade_freedom.ltx

[trader]
buy_condition = freedom_generic_buy
sell_condition = freedom_sell_after_pavlik
buy_supplies = supplies_after_pavlik
....

add section and condition check

[trader]
buy_condition = freedom_generic_buy
sell_condition = {=actor_in_freedom} freedom_sell_exclusive, freedom_sell_after_pavlik
buy_supplies = supplies_after_pavlik

function actor_in_freedom is in xr_effects.script file.

if function returns true sell section will be "freedom_sell_exclusive", if not - freedom_sell_after_pavlik

same way you can add functions to check actor community into xr_effects.script for all other factions.
