A Fil-yourself Vocabulary


Forsaken

Recommended Posts

We (a group of crazy people) need something like a vocabulary which you can fill in and configure your way. We need words that don't exist in any language to translate to something else, so an English-Russian vocabulary won't help us. We need to enter the word "rontei", and get an explanation "Basically means good, as a noun, used as "happiness/goodness", as a verb, "make happy/good". Example..." and so on. Since the word "rontei" is not present anywhere, we need a vocabulary we can fill in on our own.

Besides that, eh, we really need an option to select "Translate from Brunnen-G to Russian", "Translate from French to Brunnen-G", which is also a huge problem, since we do need to drag all those side cultury people in.

 

A vocabulary such as this is easy to program, probably, but the only programmer we have is either busy, being lazy, or isn't interested in the project, or all together, because he behaves like "Leave me alone". He proposed us to make a topic and the first post - the vocabulary, so to press Ctrl+F to find the needed word. I knew from the start that this wouldn't work, though I didn't know it would be such a problem until I made it. http://www.druid.ru/bored/viewtopic.php?t=...152d55c926ecdd2 Type in "enter" in Ctlr-F. There isn't any. There is entrance, but not "enter". You'll spend half an hour to find one word, we don't have enough words so one word means about 5 because we don't have synonims yet. So this sucks really bad, it is easyer to find a word by scanning the page, but the voc is quite long... :wacko: So this option is out too... If you know any other ways which don't involve a whole voc program...

 

And the other problem is putting this on a web page... The lazy guy can do it (bah, he made the whole site and forum), but no one else can... So we need a hosting, but we can't take a Russian one, since it'll slow down for English, and in reverse. I suppose a German hosting will do, so if you know one, or one that is OK for any major country, please tell. And, of course, we need a constructor, because we all such at web-programming. But how are we going to put the voc on there I don't even want to imagine...

 

Sorry for the long post. Yeah, ours is a falling project I guess, unless the damned programmer wakes up...

Too late to save us but try to understand

The seas were empty -- there was hunger in the land

We let the madmen write the golden rules

We were just Children of the Moon

We're lost in the middle of a hopeless world

Children, Children of the Moon watch the world go by

Children, Children of the Moon are hiding from the Sun and the Sky

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
