Installation

You have to download full version from author's blog (1.2 ATM), then install this on top with replacing files.

How to collect all the files together from the repository?

Main file in the repository is split by a split_file.py

split_file.py SCRIPT WORKS ONLY WITH A 2 VERSION OF PYTHON!

Before you start be sure to download and mount txt2gam path to it in qgen!

Warning - if one of the text files when editing was not saved in utf8 without bom format, then txt2gam can ignore it while merging!

Do not download the source code from the site using the button Download ZIP! Text files are downloaded from the site will be converted to UNIX format, which makes their contents into a mess and makes it impossible to build a file! Download the source code from GitHub client directly, and make sure that the file format was dos/win!

Note for translators

Text is placed between either ' or " symbol. If you use ' symbol in word when text is closed with same symbol, you will break line prematurely and also break the game. So use double quotes '', or ` symbol.

If line is closed with " symbol, you can use single quotes without any problem. The problem is, you can't just replace all ' symbols with ", because it will break some certain places in code when using variable in the text. Also, you can use ` symbol instead of ', but it looks not that great. Example:

'Yo, I''m testing it.'

"Yo, I'm testing it."

'Yo, I`m testing it.'

Also check for "content" word if it used in text. It's doesn't matter if it is a part of a word like "discontent". Content with large "C" letter will not count. Replace english "o" or "c" letter with russian. Otherwise game will try to insert path to your game location, example what will happen:

"You dumped the contents of a tin can in a shabby bowl standing in a cage."

will be something like that:

"You dumped the E:\games\Jack-o-nine-tails\content of a tin can in a shabby bowl standing in a cage."

Blame QSP for that.

How get a bunch of sources from the .qsp file?

1. Qgen -> export -> as txt2gam -> jack.txt
2. split_file.py --split jack.txt in batch file. src folder will be deleted!
3. In src folder there will be txt files in utf8 format.

First way to merge this:

1. split_file.py --merge2 jack.txt in batch file;
2. Open old version of jack.qsp in qgen and import of new jack.txt;
3. Make Save as and name it differently, close qgen;
4. Rename new file to jack.qsp and replace old by it;

Second way:

1. split_file.py --merge2 jack.txt in batch file;
2. Compile the game with TXT2GAM: txt2gam jack.txt jack.qsp in batch file;
3. Open new jack.qsp in qgen and make export text file in TXT2GAM format to jack.txt;
4. Compile the game again with TXT2GAM;

If QSP the file was suspiciously little after its compiling - it 100% corrupted and will not start, check the code for errors.
