Hi,
I would like to help you to translate in french.
Can you tell me where is the file to translate?

[Sauer2]

Sorry,
you better ask Fluxy about that.
I dont have the knowledge.

[FluXy]

Translations are in SMC/data/translations
I attached an english template.
I used Poedit for the text editing

Pile ou face ?

Il faut que je trouve le temps pour traduire.

I have several problems with this release:

1. Having to reinstall the music was just stupid. I saw no notes that said that changes to the game necessitated it.
2. Maryo only throws one fireball/snowball now! That's not good!
3. The height of the super jump has been shortened. Areas that super jumps cleared no problem in 1.5 now can't be cleared at all.

I like everything else about the release, though! Nice graphics on the vines and I've been very anxious to see the new pipe connectors in use!

1:
That was a bug and is now fixed in SVN 1184.

2:
You can now shoot unlimited balls but only 1 in a second.

3:
Can't test that now but can anyone else confirm this ?
The height sticks could be used for measuring it.

Hmmm...No sir, I don't like it. 1-per-second-unlimited does the player no good when fighting a barrage of enemies.

The height sticks could be used for measuring it.

That won't do any good. The height stick reflect the old super jump, not the new one. I made a super jump in Mental Trials using the super jump height stick. Maryo cleared it perfectly in 1.5, but now he doesn't.

OH! And Rokko now has the activation area shown! Yay!

I measured the height sticks on the latest SVN version at the time, which was only a week ago. I doubt it's changed since then...

BTW, Arch linux PKGBUILD now on AUR

Well feel free to try it yourself. I have no SVNs; I've downloaded the official release of 1.6 on the website. If the super jump works out for everyone else, I'll try to redownload and reinstall the game.

[BowserJr]

Just tried it and the sticks are still the right height. Are you holding run when power jumping? The standard power jump doesn't go much higher then the running jump, but running power jump is the height of the heightstick. Don't know if this was the same in 1.5...

[Robwood]

Are you holding run when power jumping?

Yes. When I refer to the power jump, I refer to the run power jump.



This is the power jump I made in Mental Trials. In 1.5, all I had to do was hold the run button, press the down key, and then press the jump key in order to clear the top of the box. In 1.6, the power jump now only has Maryo's head clear halfway up the box.



With this area, the power jump barely works. It's tricky and you have to be very precise with what you do, when you do it, and where you stand. In 1.5, this was cleared by the power jump without breaking a sweat.

With what you've described, however, I wonder if the power jump is even working on my computer...Because now that you mention it, my Maryo looks like he's doing walking power jumps and not running ones...(or at least standing-up power jumps instead of crouching-down power jumps).

[BowserJr]

...Well that height stick placement doesn't look right. You need to position the bottom of the heightstick on the surface, then the top will show you the size, like in the pictures here: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1300 . The top of the end tells you nothing, as the width of the end scales with the stick size.

Don't think there's any difference in the animation, just in the height.

OK, well all that means is that the height of the jump itself is shorter than I thought, but the fact remains that he should be clearing it and isn't.

That's what I'm saying. Despite the fact that I'm performing--and the animation is showing--a crouch-and-run power jump, the jump performed appears to be a stand-and-run power jump.

EDIT: I just compared the two jumps and they're exactly the same. 1.6 disabled my crouch-and-run power jump. I tried reinstalling 1.6 but it didn't work.

EDIT 2: The super jump works when I wait for the stars to show up under his feet. Is this a modified feature? I didn't have to wait in 1.5 to perform the jump.

[BowserJr]

AH! yes, in 1.6 you have to wait for the stars to appear to do the power jump, as explained in the wiki. Otherwise, there's no point in waiting for the stars to appear.

The height of the jump will be longer, because you're effectively burying part the height stick underground, when the full length of it shows you the jump height...

First the fire/iceball change that's ineffective against a barrage of enemies and now this...Maryo is moving too slow now! Screw all this! I'm going back to 1.5!

[BowserJr]

Fine! Enjoy your... visible text boxes and non continuous ambient sounds.

*Grumble grumble* I admit that there are a lot of features about 1.6 that I absolutely adore--the text boxes; Rokko displaying the area where Maryo touches to activate him; the new designs and colors for the pipe connectors, blue furball, and the vine; that cute noise big Maryo makes when he jumps; and the list goes on--but damn it! I should be able to have my cake and eat it to! Is that too much to ask?
