Hello everyone!, I'm subtitling the videos of C&C TD and cover ops into Spanish, I have some dialogues that Zenix translate some time ago, lthough there are still several to transcribe and translate, and some dialogues do not appear correctly translated, I wanted to know if someone could take me a hand transcribing dialogues in English (I find it easier to translate reading than listening), if someone has time and wants to help me would appreciate very much.

Sure, no problem. Do you need specific videos or all of them?

I need by now the transcript of:

Nod Cd

nodend1.vqa
nodend2.vqa
nodend3.vqa
nodend4.vqa
nodfinal.vqa

GDI Cd
burdet1.vqa
burdet2.vqa
gdifina.vqa
gdifinb.vqa
podium.vqa
tbrinfo.vqa
tbrinfo2.vqa
tbrinfo3.vqa

Here it is.

Words marked with * are a bit dubious to me, those with ** are names that could be misheard, and <?> marks are placeholders for a word I couldn't understand.

Maybe Nyerguds can fill in the gaps (there are only a few)

Wow that was quickly, thanks!

[Nyerguds]

Filling in the gaps:

> Exclusive photos mungled* out of the Tiberium research center
"smuggled"

> element that appears to have strong various* qualities
ferrous qualities. As in, related to iron, and, usually, magnetism.

> on the first, second and ninth <?> rings!
"quark rings"

> it appears to also leech vital nutriants from all plant life
Misspelled "nutrients"

of what GDI terrorists have left of the Senalowski** orphanage.
> It's "St. Olafski". The French version is clearer on that. The German version says "Santa Bianca".

> Kane's "Where to strike" speech
is indeed in the game's audio files, and can't be subtitled unless you manage to squeeze the whole thing on satsel.cps
(if you are considering this, please tell me, the file has some... oddities. One of these is a stretching table, comparable to the vqp files for videos)

> United Nations' teams continue to sift through the rubble
"sift" is correct. No need for the <'> behind united nations though, "United Nations teams" is used normally.

> "a mind-numbing attack" (French version)
This was actually an error, should be 'accident' like the others. Not sure what to do about it though

> testified before a scenic* congressional hearing earlier today
"senate", as indicated by the next sentence, which includes "hostile senators"

> Sheppard admitted he had no idea how security access for GDI's top secret orbital station... <fades>
Sheppard admitted he had no idea how security access for GDI's top secret orbital space cannon could have been compromised.

On the names, most seem to be right, but the French is probably "Prichard".

Did you use the split method I suggested?

[edit]

Ew, you shifted it to the top. Ah well. Your choice I guess. Gives you more space for the subtitles

[Nyerguds]

The harvester scene at 00:31 seems to switch to a new palette too late. The first part of it still uses a different palette.

The cut off "Deactivate your-" line in the "$perry Financial Network" isn't subtitled.

The Brett Sperry part, I'd say (in Spanish) "This is Greg Burdette, for WWN", but not really show what WWN means. Just make it clear it's the news network. The full name is never actually shown as far as I know, and I'm pretty sure the WW was also a joke on "WestWood". (especially since you see Westwood's green screen in one of the videos )

"Are you picking this up?"
I'd put those messages coming through the TV transmission in italics. Same with both "Deactivate your defense matrix" ones.

I needed space for text, I followed your splitted method, though as you'll see there are still some frames that clash at times, I think it is problem in the VQA encoder

Yeah, the harvester scene and the security comission part have the same problem, I dont know how to fix it, when I see the pcx have the right colors, I dont know if its something on the vqa encoder configuration.

Well, if you make sure every piece is a multiple of 8 frames, you can kinda manage it yourself. Just make sure to keep in mind that frame numbers are 0-based, so the last frame is always (multiple of 8) -1.

Nyer....

TBRINFO3

Can you fill this in?

what if my pieces (¿scenes?) are not multiples of 8?

[Nyerguds]

Then the palette will mess up. The game decodes the video in blocks of 8 frames. It can only switch to a new palette after such a block is fully played.

So if you have a block that tries to switch palette halfway, then the frames in that block that SHOULD have a different palette than the first frame of that block will STILL be shown using the palette of that first frame. which will give messed up colours.

8 frames isn't a lot though, on 15 fps. You can easily make sure it's at or around the scene switch. And if it isn't, well, just keep the sections on multiples of 8 frames anyway, and do the colour reduction with a few extra frames in.

The originals should have their scene switches correctly though...

[wolfstain]

At the end the best way was key interval = 6.

VQAtoAVI cannot parse frame 16 on the .vqa file.

EDIT: All I could see is that frames 7, 16 and 24 are glitchy.

[Nyerguds]

Hmm, never tried changing the key frame value... Ugordan told me to stay off those settings.

usually leave it in key interval (frame) = 8, but making an exception for the intro video with = 6 works a little better (at least the harvest sequence is not noticed much)

[Nyerguds]

Plokite, there's a codec for viewing VQA.

I leave here the folder where I will upload the missions that are already translated, at least that of Nod1 is ready.
