Localization
A little over a week ago Ripticus asked about localization (translation) to French. I've done the work over the years to prepare the software for localization so I started looking into what it would take to go to the next level. At that point I got swept away by the current for a solid week.

I use the Qt system of objects to develop all Hazeron C++ code, which is most everything. Qt has a way of tagging strings to be translated, like this tr("Translate this string"). For years (decades) I have been putting these tr tags in my code, knowing some day they would be needed. It would be a daunting task to go in after the fact and put them in, on a project as large as this.

The tools for extracting and processing the strings to be translated are very nice. They also revealed a few things that needed attention, if only due to my learning more about how the tr tags are used.

A tremendous number of strings were touched throughout the code. Please alert me if you see anything broken about the words you see, anywhere and everywhere. Many of these changes involved separating ugly chunks of html code from the text that needed translating. That means html errors could also be introduced in things like mail and reports.

Here are some minor changes you might notice in the user interface. 

• System - The word "system" is used to mean a system of a spacecraft or a solar system. Almost every case of the use of the word system was changed to be either "subsystem" or "solar system" as appropriate.
  
• Station - The word "station" is used to mean a control station or a space station. Almost every case of the use of the word station was changed to be either "control station" or "space station".
  
• Fire Control - The term "fire control station" has always bugged me. This was changed to "Weapon Station" pretty much everywhere. It is listed as "Bay Weapon" in the skills list.
  

• Astronaut - For orbiting a world for the first time.
  
• Interstellar Astronaut - For orbiting a world in a solar system other than your home world solar system.
  
• Intergalactic Astronaut - For orbiting a world in a galaxy other than the one containing your home solar system.
  
• Colonizer - For building a city on a world other than your home world.
  
• Journeyman Colonizer - For building cities on ten worlds other than your home world.
  
• Master Colonizer - For building cities on one hundred worlds other than your home world.
  
• Starship Architect - For designing a starship and publishing it to the Steam Workshop.
  
• Building Architect - For designing a building and publishing it to the Steam Workshop.
  

I think most of you know this. When you move too close to walls, lay on ground, work in designer with tiny parts there is some bubble around camera that removes textures, allowing to see through objects. This is done so you won't see character's head from inside but annoying most of the time. In blender this is called viewport clipping.
Solution - render 2 separate character models. For first person render headless and neckless model of character. This option is already partially present in game options, but only headless part.
For third person and mini-me use full body model.
This will eliminate the need in carving bubble, allowing to work in designer with small parts and use of extra small spacecrafts with tight interior. When you look down, you will see center of shoulders or chest, like in most games that render body in first person. As i understand camera already follows eyes.
Also this will require a little tweak to thirdperson view using [ and ] keys. Minimal range away from player should be added. Or just leave as is

When entering and then exiting the design studio in-game, all production processes are halted. They freeze at 00:00 and never complete:


A game restart fixes this, but it happens consistently if entering a studio again

When you click the focus button on the scanner console without having anything selected, the game freezes for about a minute and crashes

It seems like the story is broken after the patch that was supposed to fix the airless issues is broken.

I reset dangerous exchange and relic missions.
Go to station, get package. - Relic done

Paper in package mentions the world where the university is.
It is the only university on the world right under the station.
I teleport to the ship, then to the university with the package. in my inventory.
inspect paper.
inspect vulcium knife.
Standing on university -> nothing happens. dangerous exchange does not start.

Character Kajavov (I made a typo when creating him) is standing on said only university with the items in hand/belt and the package in one of their gravpacks.

I did get dangerous exchange to start earlier but it was when the mission was not compiled so I only got a [system name] instead of the system I'm supposed to go to after the mission.

Previous bugreport regarding the airless issue:

Hi,

whenever trying to start a new game, selecting the Atlantis game mode, the game starts with my avatar on a planet and with no equipment, clothes, whatsoever. Pretty much the same as what you get, when you pick the Savage mode. 

Is there any way this can be fixed? Am I doing something wrong? I noticed that the patch notes said, that Atlantis had received some changes. So I am wondering, if it is a bug resulting from those changes. Or if it is something I am doing wrong on my end. 

Cheers, 

Ben

Just found a ringworld in Starship, and beamed down to the surface. Immediately got extremely bad performance, around 10FPS. I get decent performance in every other system (aside from asteroid belts, there's a separate bug report for that) and on any other planet, with the same settings, so this sticks out to me as a bug.

I also only post this as a potential bug because in the past ringworlds were perfectly fine, with worse hardware than I have now

From testing, I've narrowed the cause down to the tree view range setting by turning down each scene setting to the minimum and restarting the game. No other setting comes close to hitting my FPS this hard, not even grass quantity and detailed terrain range being set to max

Also, despite the low in-game FPS, my GPU and CPU usage never actually went above 35% which seems strange:



If it helps, I beamed down to the ringworld at system WQD'RZ'L'h, arc 5 zone 2, map co-ordinates 63.79W, 22.51N

Edit: This also appears to at least partially be caused by "Near Worlds" rendering, switch b20

Hazeron Starship is currently set up to sell for $9.99. 

I am considering raising that to $19.99.

Any thoughts? I would value your input.

I've been going through the Beacon story, and I noticed that the transport + target village both spawned on the literal slope of a very steep cliff:



I've seen this before with random non-story villages too. 

Obviously this looks very weird, so could it be possible to make villages level the area around them, or check for relatively flat land during spawning?
