Hello All,

Here the translation files for the radio data:
 
Base:
Translations_version_0.zip
Updates:
Translations_version_1.zip

A little info on the files and organizing.
 
The translation files are generated by wordzed, theres a little processing and versioning going on when they are generated. All duplicate lines are taken care of so there will be only instance of these identical lines in the translation files. Also while the first files will contain the whole chunk of lines (a few thousand), any subsequent updates will contain only new or changed lines.
 
File format:
- Any lines starting with // are ommited by wordzed when reading the files back in.
 
[Info]
    version = the version of the original radio data this file is derrived from.
    guid = the GUID of the original file.
    language = the language abrev.
    translator = the name of translator, can optionally add more than one name seperated by comma's
[/Info]
 
[Translations]
    each to be translated line has a ommited line above with the original sentence for reference, and a line number in case people want to pool (person A could do 0 to 500, person B 500 to 1000 etc)
 
example:
    //0. ORIGINAL: This is Jackie Jaye reporting for LBMW...
    576674c7-6cbf-4ec5-a3e9-7d8269fc44b8 =
The translation that goes after the '=' should remain on that same line, so dont use returns.
[/Translations]
 
As mentioned multiple people can work on the same translation and work out a schema with the line numbers. Each person can work his/her own file, these files can be posted seperatly without need for translators to merge them.
The latter is done by wordzed which only takes the filled out lines from each file when putting together the final translation file for the game.
As such would you be so kind to rename the file your working on to include your nickname? like:  RadioData_0_NL_Turbo.txt or such, this makes it easy to collect them in one folder.
 
(side note: not all translations need to be present in your file. If for example you agreed with other translators to do only lines 500-1000 or so, then you can remove all lines outside that range from your file if you prefer)
 
Regards,
Turbo

Would like to suggest to wait a little tho, the problem with the raw spreadsheet is that it isnt reliably tracking changes either in structure or content which could get messy.
Gonna see if i can work something out via wordzed, either by adding a translate option in the program or having it output specific translation files simular to the existing ones.

code: TurboTuTone, artwork: Nasko
 

Features:
HAM Radio and 12 Walkie talkies with different properties. Wear a walkie talkie in secondary slot to use it normally, place it down to lure zombies or spy on people. Small HUD element that displays your walkie talkie's status. 12 Frequencies to tune in on. A taperecorder and 5 different styled cassettes. Record speech on cassettes. Broadcast cassettes repeatedly via a HAM Radio. Power usage, devices need a battery to operate and drain power hourly. Interference due to bad weather, or when a device is bordering its maximum range. Players chatcolors are copied by all of the mods devices to dinstinguish "voices". Depending on type, the devices will attract zombies in certain radius.  
Look at the information section at the bottom of this post for more detailed info and usage,
it also showcases some of the awesome artwork Nasko made!
Make sure to send him some love when he posts in this thread
 
 
 
Thanks to:

Requires build 27 and a fresh world for the items to spawn in containers.
On a server to get best out of it set 'GlobalChat' to false serveroptions.ini.
Also works in single player but chat is limited to the lines produced by pressing 'q'.
 
Eventhough it has been tested, it's version 1.0 so there may be unforseen consequences.
 
Apcom version 1.0
 
Up to date version can be downloaded here. (last update 13 june 2015)
Credit goes to Dr_Cox1911, who has tracked and fixed the incompatibility issues with new PZ versions!

Also, a shoutout to ThatUser and Siriusx72 who posted a different approach for a fix in the thread, much appreciated!

Information

 
HAM Radios



This device can only be used when placed in the world, it can broadcast all over the map and thus is ideal for base to base communications. The ham radio has the ability to play cassettes as repeated broadcasts on a frequency, so they could be used to gather people or advertise a merchant outpost as well. (see tape recorder section for more info)
 

 
A ham radio can be picked up and it will return the radio + optionally the battery or cassette inside the device.
Whacking a ham radio with a weapon is not advised as it will destroy the radio and all in it.
 
When receiving transmissions this device shows a animation.
 
This device will attract zombies in a wide range, so secure your base perimeters, zombies will locate the sound coming from the machine but the cold steel confuses them so they wont destroy it
 
 
 
Walker Talkers



Worn in secondary item slot, the device can then be toggled on and frequencies be set. When the device is worn it will display a small UI element that displays the item icon and device info. When the battery power is low the item will start blinking a led to indicate this.
When wearing a walker talker it will display up to 5 lines above your normal local chat area, as shown by "Another line".
 

 
Walker talkers can also be placed down and picked up again to serve tactical purposes. When doing so, unlike the ham radio, this device will keep its battery, however make sure to turn it on each time you place it down.

Lower tier walker talkers when placed in world are great for luring zombies due to their zombie attraction rate and low value. The higher tier devices when placed in world are great for spying, since their sound values make them hard to detect, especially the tactical army version which doesn’t display any text placed down, detects voice in 25 tile radius. The tradeoff is that these devices are very rare thus their discovery could be considered a big loss.

Note that when a device is unequipped or picked up it is turned off.
 
 
 
Walker Talker GUI

 
When equiping a fresh found walker talker as secondary, a GUI like this will show up in left side of screen.

 
Insert a battery and it will display battery status:

 
When equiped as secondary, you can rightclick the inventory icon and turn the device on.
When doing so, the sprite will show a green led, and more advanced models will light on their display, the frequency text will also be brighter when turned on:

 
When the device recieves text it will also indicate it in the hud:

 
The hud will display different stages of battery life as such:


Finally when the battery is about to die, the item icon will start blinking a red led:

 
 
 
About chat behaviour

 
The mod follows a pair of rules to prevent spam and local duplication of text, they are:
 
Firstly, when you are near multiple placed down devices and/or worn device, then for each frequency the system will pick the highest range device's values for broadcasting to prevent x times the same line popping up on the other end. Secondly, to prevent local duplication, the placed down devices will not display text coming from a source within a 5 tile radius. The devices that are worn do the same but for a 12 tile radius. Note: be aware that eventhough devices do not display the text cause of this rule, they will still attract zombies!
 
 
 
Interference

 
Interference will occur during bad weather, when its thundering the interference will be really bad. When interference is applied it will replace words or even multiple words at once with scrambled text.
Interference will also occur at the last 10% of a device's range, the interference will become worse as you reach the limits of its range untill nothing is received anymore.
 

 
 
 
Power consumption


Done per hour for all devices that are turned on. Note that when you place a device in world and turn it on it will keep draining power even when that part of the world unloads.
 
 
 
Cassette's

 

 
These cool oldskool cassette tapes can be found all over the place, when rightclicking a cassette in your inventory it will display its ID and for convience the lines that are recorded on it. This menu has no functionallity, but the ID will come in handy.

 
 

Tape Recorder

 


Tape recorder needs a battery for power and a cassette to record. When having multiple tapes of the same type use the ID (see Cassette section) to indentify the correct one.
 

 
When both are inserted wear the item as secondary, this will give another option in right click menu "record a line", click it and wait for the timed action bar to finish.
 

 
The next line your character says will be recorded on the cassette.
Cassettes can record a maximum of 5 lines.
Also note that the players chatcolor is recorded on a tape as well, this is done per recorded line.
 


After recording eject the cassette from the tape recorder. You can now add the cassette to a HAM Radio.
 

 
When the radio has a cassette and is turned on you can start broadcasting the cassette on the frequency set for the device.
Currently every 2 in game hours one line of the cassette is played.
 

 
 
 
Device tiers and properties:

 
The item properties below can be read as follows:
- broadcast range is for outgoing signal only, to be clear a budget walker talker can only emit 500m but still receive chat from for example a ham radio which has global range. - voice detect range, the amount of tiles a player has to be near the device for it to pick up speech. - can hear range, the amount of tiles a player has to be near device to see "hear" its text. - loot chance, obvious. - zombie attraction, the displayed value for played devices, walker talkers have reduced attraction when worn as secondary item. Also note this value doesn’t always coincide with can hear range. - battery consumption, rate at which a device will consume power on hourly basis.

Interference due to bad weather, or when a device is bordering its maximum range. Players chatcolors are copied by all of the mods devices to dinstinguish "voices". Depending on type, the devices will attract zombies in certain radius.  
Look at the information section at the bottom of this post for more detailed info and usage,
it also showcases some of the awesome artwork Nasko made!

Requires build 27 and a fresh world for the items to spawn in containers.
On a server to get best out of it set 'GlobalChat' to false serveroptions.ini.
Also works in single player but chat is limited to the lines produced by pressing 'q'.
 
Eventhough it has been tested, it's version 1.0 so there may be unforseen consequences.
 
Apcom version 1.0
 
Up to date version can be downloaded here. (last update 13 june 2015)
Credit goes to Dr_Cox1911, who has tracked and fixed the incompatibility issues with new PZ versions!

Also, a shoutout to ThatUser and Siriusx72 who posted a different approach for a fix in the thread, much appreciated!

Information

 
HAM Radios



This device can only be used when placed in the world, it can broadcast all over the map and thus is ideal for base to base communications. The ham radio has the ability to play cassettes as repeated broadcasts on a frequency, so they could be used to gather people or advertise a merchant outpost as well. (see tape recorder section for more info)
 

 
A ham radio can be picked up and it will return the radio + optionally the battery or cassette inside the device.
Whacking a ham radio with a weapon is not advised as it will destroy the radio and all in it.
 
When receiving transmissions this device shows a animation.
 
This device will attract zombies in a wide range, so secure your base perimeters, zombies will locate the sound coming from the machine but the cold steel confuses them so they wont destroy it
 
 
 
Walker Talkers



Worn in secondary item slot, the device can then be toggled on and frequencies be set. When the device is worn it will display a small UI element that displays the item icon and device info. When the battery power is low the item will start blinking a led to indicate this.
When wearing a walker talker it will display up to 5 lines above your normal local chat area, as shown by "Another line".
 

 
Walker talkers can also be placed down and picked up again to serve tactical purposes. When doing so, unlike the ham radio, this device will keep its battery, however make sure to turn it on each time you place it down.

Lower tier walker talkers when placed in world are great for luring zombies due to their zombie attraction rate and low value. The higher tier devices when placed in world are great for spying, since their sound values make them hard to detect, especially the tactical army version which doesn’t display any text placed down, detects voice in 25 tile radius. The tradeoff is that these devices are very rare thus their discovery could be considered a big loss.

Note that when a device is unequipped or picked up it is turned off.
 
 
 
Walker Talker GUI

 
When equiping a fresh found walker talker as secondary, a GUI like this will show up in left side of screen.

 
Insert a battery and it will display battery status:

 
When equiped as secondary, you can rightclick the inventory icon and turn the device on.
When doing so, the sprite will show a green led, and more advanced models will light on their display, the frequency text will also be brighter when turned on:

 
When the device recieves text it will also indicate it in the hud:

 
The hud will display different stages of battery life as such:


Finally when the battery is about to die, the item icon will start blinking a red led:

 
 
 
About chat behaviour

 
The mod follows a pair of rules to prevent spam and local duplication of text, they are:
 
Firstly, when you are near multiple placed down devices and/or worn device, then for each frequency the system will pick the highest range device's values for broadcasting to prevent x times the same line popping up on the other end. Secondly, to prevent local duplication, the placed down devices will not display text coming from a source within a 5 tile radius. The devices that are worn do the same but for a 12 tile radius. Note: be aware that eventhough devices do not display the text cause of this rule, they will still attract zombies!
 
 
 
Interference

 
Interference will occur during bad weather, when its thundering the interference will be really bad. When interference is applied it will replace words or even multiple words at once with scrambled text.
Interference will also occur at the last 10% of a device's range, the interference will become worse as you reach the limits of its range untill nothing is received anymore.
 

 
 
 
Power consumption


Done per hour for all devices that are turned on. Note that when you place a device in world and turn it on it will keep draining power even when that part of the world unloads.
 
 
 
Cassette's

 

 
These cool oldskool cassette tapes can be found all over the place, when rightclicking a cassette in your inventory it will display its ID and for convience the lines that are recorded on it. This menu has no functionallity, but the ID will come in handy.

 
 

Tape Recorder

 


Tape recorder needs a battery for power and a cassette to record. When having multiple tapes of the same type use the ID (see Cassette section) to indentify the correct one.
 

 
When both are inserted wear the item as secondary, this will give another option in right click menu "record a line", click it and wait for the timed action bar to finish.
 

 
The next line your character says will be recorded on the cassette.
Cassettes can record a maximum of 5 lines.
Also note that the players chatcolor is recorded on a tape as well, this is done per recorded line.
 


After recording eject the cassette from the tape recorder. You can now add the cassette to a HAM Radio.
 

 
When the radio has a cassette and is turned on you can start broadcasting the cassette on the frequency set for the device.
Currently every 2 in game hours one line of the cassette is played.
 

 
 
 
Device tiers and properties:

 
The item properties below can be read as follows:
- broadcast range is for outgoing signal only, to be clear a budget walker talker can only emit 500m but still receive chat from for example a ham radio which has global range. - voice detect range, the amount of tiles a player has to be near the device for it to pick up speech. - can hear range, the amount of tiles a player has to be near device to see "hear" its text. - loot chance, obvious. - zombie attraction, the displayed value for played devices, walker talkers have reduced attraction when worn as secondary item. Also note this value doesn’t always coincide with can hear range. - battery consumption, rate at which a device will consume power on hourly basis.

Here we go. I was waiting for it long enough, but nobody seemed to start making it so, I thought : "Why the hell not?".
 
Right now I'm working on the exterior look of the prison, will be adding interior details fairly soon.
 
Images of progress for older versions :
 
 
The prison is pretty much finished!

PLEASE don't forget to make backups!
 
If you ever want to return to the old map and fully "delete" the prison, verify your game cache through steam.

Thats a problem i havent heared/seen before, ill send you a pm to see if we can resolve that issue.
 
Yes, the integrated version will have some reworks and currently unfinished options worked in

I only hope there will be an option that lets teh player listen to teh radio but not talk, like a "speak" button that is normally used on radios, because its somtimes impossible to listen to what is going on "on air" and talk same time

After playing around with it on our server there seems to be a problem with it. Namely that HAM radios don't receive broadcasts but can broadcast, and all players names and chatcolors are now white.

The New Dawn Server is LOVING this mod, cant thank you enough for this awesome addition and itll be even greater when in game!

Got a message from MrBlue that:
