You can use Notepad++ for linux using wine (read from Notepad++ forums)

hi again!
I've added a little page on wiki, here:

http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Script_syntax_coloring

where I explain syntax coloring with Notepad++, think could be useful from starting point for this project?

Discussion / Re: Feature freeze stage for 2.3 release

One more thing we should do before release — look to all menus and UI to check any inconsistencies and glitches.

I'm newbie here, but I agree a lot with this sort of things: main menu is on right, but when you load games is on left.. and so on how can I help?

Edit: better, we have a place on forum where talk about "UI" sot of things?

Discussion / Re: When will be the next release?

Several reasons, I'd suspect. Game balance for one thing, GUI as another. System resources, turn length, etc.

Given that my main method of selecting units is currently pressing 1-8 on the keyboard, I don't think I'll ever take more than 10 units into battle myself.

Microing 16+ units would get dull very quickly. It'd stop being squad based combat and start being platoon based combat.

Mostly WMG here though.

thanks for explanation, i suspected that were reasons.. but player (not coder or hard-player) need a reason for this limitation, what do you think?

Translating / Re: Italian translation

« on: April 29, 2010, 09:42:14 am »

beh direi che per prima cosa dobbiamo capire bene come fare la traduzione

partiamo dall'ultima versione in sviluppo? http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php?topic=2830.0 (ultime pagine!)

e facciamo una lista degli errori che troviamo qua e là? Tanto per essere sicuri di cosa è fatto e cosa no?

come dicevo sopra una cosa fastidiosa è il bottone "Laboratorio di Ricerca & Sviluppo", dove & immagino sia "&".. io propongo di usare la dicitura "Laboratorio di Ricerca" o semplicemente "Ricerca": se andate nel menu di una base della versione 2.3, si vede la scritta con "&amp" che é un pugno in un occhio

ecco una lista di task (anche per me ovviamente ):
1) scoprire come si traduce -> e spiegarlo in italiano (paginetta sul wiki nostra?)
2) scaricare versione di sviluppo e segnarsi a manina i problemi di traduzione e riportarli qui (con screenshot così ci capiamo meglio)
3) dividersi il lavoro
4) farlo
5) check incrociato.. ed avanti

che ne dite?

The most logical thing for basedefend should be that ALL available soldiers should fight, but we could make a upper limit of 15 soldiers fighting @ the same time there & add reinforcements automatically if soldiers die & additional soldiers are still available...

HI! just my 2 cents: why this limit? If soldiers are in a base, they all should be fighting, otherwise player maybe needs some kind of explanation for this limitation..

For example here of oversight:

http://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ufoai/ufoai/trunk/src/po/ufoai-it.po

i can see:

1)

#: ../base/maps/laboratory.ump:63 ../base/ufos/basemanagement.ufo:283
#: client/campaign/cp_base_callbacks.c:313
msgid "Laboratory"
msgstr "Laboratorio di Ricerca & Sviluppo"

translation is good, but could be "Laboratorio", so maybe could stay into button's label?

2)

#: ../base/ufos/ui/bases.ufo:168
msgid "Research"
msgstr "Ricerca & Sviluppo"

again "Ricerca", for the same reason?


just some ideas

Afaik Mattn (The Commander) is requesting help from a Java Coder to help us get a tool checking the ufo syntax.

Take a look here:
http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php?topic=4318.0

You should contact RudolfoWood as he seems to be the expert regarding this & also should be far progressed in his work already, maybe you could help him finish this

thanks! I've already posted

Welcome!
In such cases you should check ufoconsole.log. I'm almost sure it's the "actor out of sync" issue now. It's a known bug.

thanks geever !!

I see your project coder status, so maybe i can ask to you: how i can contribute as coder? (mostly Java, bu i can learn something new)
