Hey Flap. Check your email

I've been wanting to improve the AI for a while. Unfortunately it's not a trivial thing to fix, because if it splits its forces too much then it will lose. So it needs to be smart about when it defends, and with how many ships. It is definitely possible to fix but it will take time, and right now I'm focused on getting the translations done! Maybe I'll have time to look at it later.

I would need that steam key, as I purchased MI before Steam existed...
Do you need some info to check that I own a copy ?

(Oh, by the way, can slip in the beta a tiny modification in AI, so it won't systematically leave planets with 0 ships...  )

Happy New Year everyone, and apologies for the delay - I was on holiday in Thailand over the break.

That would be fantastic, thank you Flap

Atlan, thanks for sending me your translation, and apologies for not replying to it sooner. I haven't had the time to compare your version and the version in the game yet, but I will do so.

I've just now uploaded a beta of the new version to Steam, including the new languages (French, German, Spanish, and Russian). You can access it via Steam on the "betas" tab, and switch languages on the Options screen. If anyone would like to help me test the language support and doesn't have a Steam copy of the game, I can send you a Steam key or a non-Steam copy of the beta.

It's been a long time since the last patch, so I'm keen to get this one finished at last! There is a decent amount of work to do to get the localisation ready for release, unfortunately.

You should definitely make that game, Flap.

Hello Atlan !

Ah, you are not the only one who would enjoy a MI2... But as for huge demand, I would say that it is rather quiet over there !
Still, I might consider create my own version, with 3 new ideas :

• There is one command center. And you can only send orders from that place : the ship living the command center carry the order to the planet that will send the ship. Hence the need of automation
• Ships have an attack value that depends on their energy, and can change speed : the faster and further they are travelling, the less energy they have, and thus the weaker they are. They recharge the turn after arriving to a friendly planet. So you can ask your ships to behave as fast scouts or slow but powerfull armies
• You can create starbases, by allocating a number of ships to any point of space : these ships will supply the base with energy. Ships reaching the base can refuel in the same turn, enabling much quicker (but energy consuming) travels.

Hey, I'd be glad to cooperate with you, Chris, if you were interested 

Hey, I could help with proofreading the french translation !

In the new version, you can simply replace data/de/strings.txt and choose Deutsch in the Options, instead of having to replace data/english/strings.txt.

For sending strings.txt, I think email would be best, or you can send me a Private Message on this forum.

I will upload the full version beta within the week, so you can play it too. I just uploaded the demo first because it's easier. You have the game on Steam, right?

Ok I got it to me as far as possible viewed, unfortunately, it is in the demo is very limited.
I see me later strings.txt to, and compare.

Look at me.
How can I strings.txt send you.
Do you use dropbox?

Schaue es mir an.
Wie kann ich die strings.txt dir zusenden.
Nutzt du dropbox?

Hallo Chris,

Fully translated are the solo and multiplayer part, page 1-3 of the help and a large part of the demo.
My problem is the integration "strings.txt",  it goes with me only if I replace the original.

At least with the German translations I can help.
Also if any, with other games.

Hallo Chris,

Komplett übersetzt sind der Solo und Multiplayer Teil, Seite 1-3 der Hilfe und ein großer Teil der Demo.
Mein Problem ist die Integration "strings.txt", es geht bei mir nur wenn ich die Original ersetze.

Zumindest bei den deutschen Übersetzungen kann ich helfen.
Auch so vorhanden, bei anderen Spielen.
