BFCElvis Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 How compatible will the 2 versions be? For instance, aside from the briefing, will a scenario made using the Russian version play of the BFC version and vis versa? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I expect the BFC version will come in several languages like CMSF does currently. Will this include Russian? I assume (perhaps incorrectly) there'll be a Russia-specific Snowball product and a related 'worldwide' BFC product. Its the same game engine obviously - but I imagine a nasty glitch that might stop 3rd party scenario sharing betwen BFC and Snowball would be Cyrillic-based scenario orders sets. Just a blind guess on my part. Alternately, both products might come in both languages! :confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be interesting to see what types of historical battles Russian players make. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I cannot fathom them being totally incompatible or otherwise the Russian stock scenarios and campaigns would need to be recreated from scratch... which would be quite impractical. And since CMSF and all its modules have been localized for Russian market by Snowball, I would suspect that they haven't re-made all the campaigns, just translated the briefings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Since we're speculating, one supposes that if we were to get our hands on a Snowball-built cyrillic Russian scenario that problem should be importable/fixable in the editor. Ugh, all this blind speculating is giving me a headache 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoex Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 In the worst case (incompatibility of cyrillic fonts, for example) one might be able to open the scenario in the editor at least, and remove or replace the 'offending' texts? Then all that would be necessary would be some nice bilingual player taking the time to translate the briefings so you know what you have to do . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
