Hi,
I have the downloaded russian version of Black shark and am trying to convert it to the english version using the files kindly posted by Babalui. I have managed to install the missions and campaingn and that seems to work but I am having problems with the sounds. I tried following the instructions but could not get the general English files and the sound files to insatll and work. In case i got it wrong I did not delete the folders but just renamed them before adding the english files. The general files gave me a 'could not find black shark lua error message' and the sound was completely silence.

Thanks to Babalui for his help so far but do you think you you could give me some more detailed instructions on installing these sound files etc as i am not very technical!

seasons greetings from drummer

Hi and welcome!

Sorry to hear about your trouble. I guess this is one of those "works at my PC" I must have missed something, possibly config file? I will investigate that in detail.

Btw, just to be sure, sounds dir is Ka-50\Sounds\EnglishVersion\RF and USA

In mean time try following:

1) Restore original Russian files and folders (but, copy them to a safe place), and then copy sounds from English version into both RU and USA dirs.

2) Use attached l10n.rar and unzip to Ka-50\Sounds\l10n

I think the problem will be solved with 2)

Good luck!

hi again,

Thanks for the warm welcome and help with this.

The problem almost certainly lies with me and my non computer brain    I can find these directories you mention "sounds dir is Ka-50SoundsEnglishVersionRF and USA"  But I cannot find the RU and USA direcries to copy them into?

Also you mention an attachment with your reply but it does not seem to be there? again probably me!

thanks drummer

okay sorry i found the attachment now..and it was just another stupid moment in the day of drummer! 

[BabaLooey]

No problems at all - feel free to ask

I may have expressed the path a bit strangely. It should be:
Ka-50\Sounds\EnglishVersion\RF
and
Ka-50\Sounds\EnglishVersion\USA

(see attached pic)

Cheers

hi,

sorry i am still having problems with this and feel it is because i have so many l10n folders that i am getting confused as to which one i use and what goes where with the rf files. I have attached a picture of my directories in case it is of help. please note i have changed the names to rf1 and usa1 to allow the new files. You might be able to see something obvious that i have done? so far the game still runs fine but still with russian voices.

thanks for your time.

regards drummer

No fear, all those identical files and folder in various palces are driving me nuts

OK, lets starts from the scratch. Sounds (WAV and OGG) go to Ka-50\Sounds\EnglishVersion\RF and Ka-50\Sounds\EnglishVersion\USA, an reside inside their subfolders (names per type).
Config files for sound go to Ka-50\Sounds\i10n\RU and Ka-50\Sounds\i10n\USA. One LUA file in each subfolder.

There is no "i10n" inside of "EnglishVersion" folder.

hi again,

Well success as i now have english tower, flight and betty comms    I still struggled with all the different but similar menus and in the end tried copying the usa contents to the rf folder and that seemed to do it, so thanks for all your help and patience talking me through this    I have english menus and the missions write up as english so i am wondering what else can i change..anything in the cockpit or warning lights to english?

happy christmas and thanks again!

Everything working, ayeh? Great
Glad to help. No worry, problems like yours helps improving instructions and pinpointing errors.

For cockpit tootltips (hints) you have to go to Options -> GAMEPLAY -> Cockpit language.
For English cockpit labels, you have to download this:

Cockpit and encyclopedia:

Unzipping could be similary tricky, so be careful as there are more files and folders then on Sounds.

Cheers and Happy Xmass to you as well

[drummer]

well a bit unfair to ask you as i see you are very busy around the forums organising the localisation ..... but I have tried downloading and using the cockpit files but ended up with firstly the game not running [missing black shark lua message] then I tried just using the ka 50 folder but ended up without any cockpit at all. Could you give many more clues as to how to install the english cockpit labels please?     i appreciate it is a holiday time and you are busy so anytime you might just get the chance will be fine..will keep checking in over the holidays.

thanks and seasons greetings

Well, for start I think it will be best it you download everything and unzip all to a separate place on your PC. Then, compare the structure of unzipped and original files.

Also, if you do not see the "confirm overwrite" dialogue - that means you are copying the files to a wrong place!

In case you reinstall, do not forget to deactivate the game. And always make a back up - copy whole game to a separate plave or burn it on a DVD.

BTW, somebody beat me with full pack, but I have not tested it yet, but it looks like all files are here and are properly arranged. Download all and unzip to a separate place, then copy to Ka-50 folder:
