There it is: https://github.com/tltneon/lgsl/commit/dcc7eb844a6fff3885131c80d301e74c07b78190

But it would be useful in the future to add an official query to make it easier for players to query the server. I think it will give a boost to the game because server lists will appear for it.

Awesome! Please consider sharing your script on Github or GistΓÇöit would be super helpful for other players/server owners.

Bug reports / Re: map all things disappear

Hello!
It sounds like a network issueΓÇösome network data doesn't go through properly.
If you have an active VPN connection, please try without it (or vice versa).
Alternatively you can try using a mobile hotspot (modem mode on a smartphone).
If it works via a mobile connection that means there is something odd with your primary router/ISP and you need to contact your ISP for further support.

Regards!

I finally managed to make a script to get the data by simulating the connection, thanks anyway.

Bug reports / map all things disappear
Last post by Kelvan - November 11, 2023, 02:15:00 AM
I play cryofall since 04/2019 without problem. Since approximately half
a year there is a problem with server connection or something while
playing PvE. The server stats are ok but when moving on the map all
things disappear and only the ground is remaining. When starting the
game again everything works until you move again to another sector and
the same problem is happening again.

Do you know this problem and do you have a solution?

Hello!
Alas CryoFall doesn't have this feature.
You can try parsing the console output of the server to gather some info (it's posting the stats about every 30 seconds).

Hello.

Is there information or documentation on how to query the private server? Get data about server (if online, ping, players, etc.). I have a tracker site where all the community servers are kept, but for this game we didn't manage to do that.

Thank you in advance.

The VoidExpanse localization tool is pretty rough indeed, written in early years of the studio...It's not feasible for us to rewrite it right now, whether from the old codebase or starting from scratch. Our newer games use a different engine, so there are no more XML/JS files like in VE...

BTW, in VoidExpanse, all the text is already extracted to TXT files, so you don't really need to use the localization tool. You can just copy the existing *.en_us.txt to use as the translation files for your language. So if you find the tool too rough and CSV editing too tedious, this is a valid alternative. Just make sure to handle multi-line text and quotes correctly.

Regards!

Heh I see, although functional if I noticed that the tool feels a bit rough, many times the program freezes and all the progress is lost.

And couldn't you create a new version of the tool? Would it be very complicated?

After all the tool I guess is for all your games and not just VoidExpanse, right?

An alternative would also be to use GNU Gettext, which already has tools to translate comfortably and quickly, such as Poedit or POEditor.
Although this I guess is not very viable, they would probably have to rewrite a lot of things of the game I guess.

Hello!
Thank you for your feedback!
Unfortunately, we can't make any changes to the VoidExpanse localization tool since it was created almost a decade ago...
We primarily used it for exporting text to a CSV file and editing it in spreadsheet software like MS Excel or LibreOffice Calc. This was because the tool lacks a spellchecker and is generally cumbersome to use as an inline editor. However, there were some issues with this approach (IIRC, using quote characters " without proper escaping would break the CSV). So, if you decide to use this method, I suggest translating incrementally and checking if the CSV import feature works properly.

Regards!
