Russian Cyrillic Mod [Россия] [1.1]

[Sheath]

The problem is that it would encourage bilingual russians to speak russian, thus reintroducing a one-way language barrier.

Russian people can speak Russian in Blockland if they want. I've seen many English games where Russian players have to phonetically type out Russian words.

This just allows for the character map to be used. Many games already allow for Cyrillic script, and it doesn't impact the games community. This doesn't allow people to skip over English, it only allows them to write in Cyrillic script.

There are more Russian players in Blockland than you realize, but you wouldn't know that, because they speak English. To purchase and play Blockland (let alone find the game in the first place) without English would be near impossible.

It really is not an issue. Not a realistic one, anyway.

I agree.

Then they can do that even without this mod.

Do those games also have a total of only ~35k players over a 6-year period?

This doesn't allow people to skip over English, it only allows them to write in Cyrillic script.

So yes, it does encourage writing in russian which is gibberish to ~96.7% of the Blockland community. Thus introducing a one-way language barrier.

And you know why? Because SINCE EVERYONE CAN WRITE IN ENGLISH, as you even said yourself, IT DOESN'T MATTER IN THE SLIGHTEST.

To purchase and play Blockland (let alone find the game in the first place) without English would be near impossible.

Thank you for proving that there is no pro to this mod at all.

I can understand having something like this in PMs, but in server chat, where publicness is implied, it would only be a blocker to the rest.

It is designed for Russians hosting Russian servers.

PM's don't need a mod, because Cyrillic is supported naturally. Blockland just doesn't have the character set because of an engine limitation, if Badspot updated there will be Cyrillic by default.

Then they can do that even without this mod.

Exactly! This allows them to just make what they write look and read naturally. Whether they type ты сука or ty suka its still Russian.

Why does it matter to you how it looks? You can't read it anyway. It doesn't encourage anything, if you want to speak Russian then you will speak Russian either way.

What you are saying makes no sense and its really frustrating that you still hold such a ridiculous opinion on this. I can say with sincere certainty that you are wrong and you are being bigoted and tribal.

Then it SHOULD require a server mod too, if nothing else, then just for a handshake.

I was talking about RTB Connect PMs.

It's basically a "go ahead, we don't mind". It sends the wrong message.

"You don't think what I think so you're tribal."

"You don't think what I think so you're tribal."

I knew you'd say that. How downright stupid of you.

No, its not about me not thinking what you think. Its that what you think is basically just cultural intolerance, and I find it offensive.

For such reasons I ask that you do what you said before and leave the topic. I've tried to explain its purpose to you, others seem to understand where I'm coming from. But I'm giving up on you. This isn't about the mod, but rather about your issues with Russian.

How is it "cultural intolerance" that I want an english community to talk english?

You said that it was for "russians hosting russian servers". Why not just make it server-sided instead then?

Quit arguing and move on..

Client_Cyrillic is an add-on designed by IcyGamma that allows players converse in Russian using cyrillic texts.

its pretty much implied that it's made by you already

I'm a credit national socialist. This was a group project, I like to clarify what I did so people don't mistake me for someone who knows anything about Torque. I did the graphics, coordinated the project, and came up with the concept and what I wanted done. Port had created the base script and provided advise on how we could get it working, and Lugnut programmed it to work based off the ideas and requests we devised. It was a simple and quick job, but three other people provided the backbone for this mod while I impatiently demanded they get it done for me in a day haha.

[The Titanium]

I guess, but perhaps that means designed is the wrong word. It's a bit ambiguous, because one could say someone "designed" a sort of code for some sort of thing within a system, not the graphics and whatnot.

I get what you mean though.

Meh, I guess thats just a difference between how we perceive language.

I hate the way people say "designed" with code. I prefer to say that I "write code". You aren't really designing anything, no more than you design a book when you write one.

The design is done before hand. The programmers then go ahead and make it happen. At least, that is how it usually works. Mixing designers with programmers tends to result in a poor quality outcome.

A web designer once told me they had to separate their designers in a different room, because the coders would get lazy and try and stop them from designing difficult things. Haha. :3

[Extrude]

I'm pretty sure an English QWERTY-2-Russian has been designed before, so the "designer" is pretty much a useless role unless you design the original one.

Unaware of this. It was still designed from scratch, including the graphics and the mod functions and approach.

Please, let us not over-brown townyze the wrong point here. ;)  Much more interested in discussing the usability of the mod and how people who are using it correctly are finding it.

Designing an architecture/API. Doesn't apply here, but that would still be designing.
