Hello,

I am trying to fix some translation mistakes in french, and one of them is the effect description of an enchantment:

Champion's Relic from Kapana Taga weapon.

As seen on the picture below, it should be +3% instead of 0%

 

 

I know how to change abilities description but not  enchantment description from a weapon.

Which text file should I use ?

Abilities (probably not) gui file or statuseffects file ?

Should I write the ID of the enchantment and then the description of the effects ?

I tried something like that but it did not work

     <Entry>
        <ID>Champions_relic</ID>
        <DefaultText>+3% aux dégâts de corps à corps pour chaque cible engagée, Ennemis engagés +2</DefaultText>
        <FemaleText />
    </Entry>

 

But it did not work, should I have a number value for the ID instead of the Champions_relic ?

 

Thanks

 

What seems to be the root of the problem is that the wrong Replacement Token was used in several of the Deadfire's translations.
A replacement token is basically a small bit of code in the text string that's dynamically filled with a specified bit of information sourced from the gamedata the text applies to. Such as adding a numerical value. This allows for the game to reuse a single piece of text "{0:extravalue:percent} Melee Damage for each Engaged target" for each possible instance, rather needing multiples copies.

Anyway, that is all to say that in this instance the French translation for this text incorrectly uses {0:value:percentbonus} instead of {0:extravalue:percent} which is why the value in game is shown as 0%.

        <DefaultText>+3% aux dégâts de corps à corps pour chaque cible engagée, Ennemis engagés +2</DefaultText>
        <FemaleText />
    </Entry>

"statuseffects.stringtable" and the entry with the mistake seems to be "204". Something like this should work:

    <Entry>
      <ID>204</ID>
      <DefaultText>{0:extravalue:percent} aux dégâts de corps à corps pour chaque cible engagée</DefaultText>
      <FemaleText />
    </Entry>

The "Ennemis engagés +2" part will come from another stringtable entry which the game combines with the previous entry at runtime. I can't find the ID for it at the moment, but I'm pretty sure it is possible to override it. If that's something you need to make changes to let me know and I'll try to track it down.

Ok thanks a lot Kvellen I will try that.

I don't have to fill the numbers 3% into the parentheses ?

All I have done so far was redoing translations for descriptions, and this seems to be the step above, although it's probably still very easy for a true modder.

Yup, the game should automatically replace {0:extravalue:percent} with a "3%" from the status effect gamedata just like it does elsewhere. That's pretty much where my knowledge of this stuff extends haha. Not sure where exactly in the game data it's getting this value from... just that this seems to be how it works.
That said if you run across any other instances of something not functioning across the localisations I'll be happy to take a look!

And I finally did the changes and it worked !

Thanks a lot Kvellen !

How did you know the proper ID for this specific unique weapon enchantment was 204 thouh ?

The wiki on the web does not provide such informations.

 

My pleasure!

I use a tool called Apotheosis, that organises all the exported gamedata and text in every supported language into a gui interface that can be searched through more easily. I looked in the ItemMod section for "Champions_relic", which lead me to the status effects responsible for the bonus. There there is a parameter of status effects called "OverrideDescriptionString" that's been used to overwrite the text in this instance. That's where the reference ID was.

I noticed the issue with the Replacement Token by swapping between "English" and "Francais" from a dropdown.

 

Thanks Kvellen, I will try using that next time !

Sorry for my late answer.

Check ID 205 of the same file. I think it has the same issue.

Because of your report I rechecked my translation mod against the english version of the text files and I found several changes which were not present in the german text files.

Maybe you can check your french version, if they also have the same issues:

Check the IDs of the following files: https://github.com/AurelioSilver/pillarsofeternity-2-german-patch/commit/1dcf69a648e85646082a199a7c29d264fce320df
