Earth 2160 -- Is it possible to convert into English?

[blackozan]

One of my friend bought this game for me from T-Online. At first, i think that i can manage the game in german with no problem, but when i get into game, i realised that i won't enjoy until i get this game in english.

I know there will be problems for sounds, so they can stay German, but at least texts should be english.

Is it possible and if it is, how?

(problems for sounds: any kind of piracy, i don't want to do illegal things. but in the other hand, if i have a licence to run the copy, there shouldn't be any language specific limitation, am i wrong at that?)

it is illegal because you are modify the game content.

I dont think so! Its more like a patch. There are many language changer for different games on fan sites and official sites (you get a english to german converter for galactiv civ at the homepage). And do not forget: There ist also a patch for AOE 3 at GCW! And if you think, every changing from game files is illegal, you have also no right to use a no CD Crack!

To the main post. You should look at fansites for such mods.

And as we know, using NOCDs isn't allowed in Germany.

I don't think so. If there is no english version of a game, fans often create translation mods. And that's okay. But concerning Earth 2160, there is an english version available. The real problem is taking original content from the english version for use in a mod. And that's where you offend copyright laws.

Sounds hard but I really do not care about that. I have more than 150 games, all purchased, and I think, I have the right to use them for playing. And nobody has the right to tell me how or to tell me I have to deinstall tools to play a game, I have paid for. I have only a HighEnd Notebook and I am playing at several places. I am not willing to carry all CDs / DVDs with me. And: Some games would not run because they do not like my DL DVD Burner. So I really dont care . . .

Maybe here you are right. But think here also about the AoE 3 patch on CGW . . .

But in reply to your post. It is possible. But Earth 2160 uses an own packing format for big files. You have to compre them and use the un/repacker for these files.

What a bunch of F-ing retard - No he got the game which means if he wants to change it ( like you change the game by adding a new map) that he has a full right to do so, in other words if you dont have a right to change the game there wouldnt be any unofficial mods and patches u retards. And he isnt doing anything illegal he is just asking for an english patch ( which I dont believe exists) and other this is that most of you responding here didnt buy half of your games ( so dont give me bullshit about Eula).

Before swearing and being a smartass, actually read the eula and be ashamed of your stupidity, you don't like it then read the rules, banned for a month, should be enough for even the likes of you to realise you cant register on any forum just to make 1 flaming post.
