Since version 1.0 SYSTEMSHOCK-Portable contains this mod.

---

Before neither the 'terse' nor the full text options showed the exact text as heard in the CD version of System Shock. This mod (originally by Gigaquad) syncs the texts with the audio heard from logs, emails and traps. As discussed on TTLG

DOS, SSEE Classic (SHLink), and Shockolate source port - backup your original CYBSTRNG.RES and CITALOG.RES (found in \SSHOCK\RES\DATA\), and replace them with the new files from the archive. Make sure messages are set to "Both" in Audio options for the text to show. Logs and e-mails only have normal length text available, so don't choose terse text length.

SSEE Source Port - extract the properlogs folder from the archive to your %APPDATA%\Nightdive Studios\System Shock EE\mods\ folder, use the built in mod loader to activate.

As of v1.06 of this mod, masculine references to SHODAN have been removed from the few emails and logs that had them (both audio and text).


SS1_text.7z is the original mod, use that if you don't care about the modified audio (to install, replace your CYBSTRNG.RES after backing up the original file).

I just added a whole slew of editing tools for System Shock I had lying around here. I hope you find some of these useful. It's entirely possible Gigaquad used Hex-Editing to do his translation though. Keep that in mind.

It might be worth contacting him then. Also note the transcript from his thread that I also added in the first post now. Should be quite helpful for a translation.

Well, I intend to translate everything on the cybstrings.res file. Descriptions of objects, logs and menus.

I also tried to check out how the cybstrings.res file worked so I could make my own program, but I don't know what the last bytes of the file are for (just after the index that directs you to the specific part where a certain text is stored.

Anyway, if your program works, that would be great to have.

I checked the programs Kolya posted on the other post, but they are more focused on graphics than text (which eventually would be something I also need cos I have to check if the font files contain the ñ or not)

Thanks a lot for your help

Thanks for the program I'm gonna check it right now to see what I can do with it.

Gigaquad, would you mind if I put up your SS1 translation tool in the SS1 Tools thread here?

Sure thing!

I attached Gigaquad's SS1transl.zip in the post where he linked it first. Hope that helps.
Gigaquad, if you don't want it up there, you can modify the post and remove the attachment.

make sure you have text+audio enabled in the game options.

Just confirmed that this mod works exactly the same way with the Night Dive SS:EE release.

updated the SSEESP version to work with the latest (2018-08-16) build.

yes, it's the official source port by NDS, available for all that have the game on steam (you need to use a password to opt into the beta, but it has been posted on their kickstarter page so if you can open that, you can use it, or so I would assume).

steam doesn't automatically equal drm, it can be used just as a content delivery system, and that is indeed the case here.

the source port highlights:
-modern os compatibility
-modern resolutions support
-opengl/d3d support
-reworked/configurable controls
-native mod/FM support

integrating the log text mod would probably not be a great idea - potentially copyright infringing, and some people may dislike it, as odd as it sounds.
