I can no longer use SpeedSim as it is with the Supervise Clipboard because it doesnt recognise the new names. So i have to manually put in scan reports and fleets. Before it was a select and copy, quick.

The Gameforge team have let them selfs down this time. I hope that they revert the names soon.

Check the game announcement board. They will be changing back. And speedsim DOES work you just need to upgrade the language file. Please stop whining about minor things you can fix yourself.

Agreed, my patience with this thread is wearing thin. People keep posting the same things over and over when its really not necessary.

Read the announcements people, use search, and use a little common sense.

Ok, Most threads are been closed on this subject. And most will be filled with 'I Dont Like......<insert everything here>' or along those lines.

But the question is: Why were the sujestions not tried out on these boards BEFORE being inmlemted into the game. Surley the people who earn the money might of know that it might not go down well.

My appoligies if this has been awnsered earler, but they are hard to find in these spam filled threads. And if it was on the boards and i have missed it, then why did it get the support?

For the record, i do NOT approve of the 'dumbing Down' of the game. Yes, I do know the irony in my poor spelling, and yes i know that they are working towards getting changed back

I would never normally complain about something like this, but the stats page really needs looking at as it's just wrong now.

I now have the option to display "Which Ally has Points in place 1-100". See the problem there?

"Alliance" and "Ally" do NOT mean the same thing.

An alliance I am at war with is NOT my ally. It's the exact opposite!





EDIT: ...and it is now apparently being changed back, which begs the question: "Why did they translate everything without asking an English-speaker to proofread it?"

I don't think somebody made these names up just for fun. More likely some computer program was used to translate everything from german (one unable to see things in context). Considering everything is far too general and full with grammatical errors. Hopefully the fix won't take a lot of time to be developed.

Here is an idea.

Take all the changes you don't like, write your own code for this game and correct all of its faults and host it on your own servers

Then make a message board for everybody to post things like:

"waaaaaaah"
*wail*
*gnashes teeth*
"I payed a whopping $0 to play this game!!!!!!"

The people designing this game work very hard to give you a good experience, of course it isn't going to be perfect, but the way alot of you just jump down their throats and are so critical.... its just uncalled for.

Don't bother flaming me, I won't see it, cuz I am not coming back to this thread. Feel free to pm me with your feelings though. That would mean you are not inflating your ego by rebuking me in front of a crowd of millions with your superior wit.

I just PWNED 2000 PLASMAS with less than 1000 BSs.

at least that is what my cr converter got when I pasted the combat report of a battle vs 15 plasmas....

AWESOME!

Well, whoever translated it, I have no idea.

It seems that some things will changed back or get different. I have no concrete Information at hand, but I know at least that as it is now it won't stay.

Dear Ogame staff, i thank you for the effort... but this time it messed up. There is no need to lynch anyone, things will be probably fixed.

May i suggest to undo the name changes ? If you change the names, every documentation written by previous Ogamers will need to be re-written to be understandable....

By the way, if would have been more funny if you had changed the names with small peon, large peon, ,orc,grunt,troll food, wood etc...

EDIT: some spelling

I hope all the admins/devs realise that with all these new ship/building names (if they intend to keep them) every single sim will have to be edited, and I think there's something screwed with CRs/CR converters as well concerning this new update...

Well I wont pick on specifics because everyone has done a fine job of pointing out how the new changes SUCK.

Seriously, hire someone with better than first year English skills!

I dont think it has something to do with english skills, but with german-english translation.

Why dont they just call the Recyclers Harvesters while they are at it?

Technically you harvest the debris so you can recycle it.

LoL

I believe you mean:

ATTENTION EVERYONE:

We know that there are problems with the sims and the CR converters. This occurs every time we make a change to the information that those systems rely on. That means changing the name of a ship, weapon power, cargo capacity, or even adding or removing a ship or defense. This is what happens when third party programs are used a lot. Errors will be fixed when the respective programmers of these tools get around to fixing them. Its not on gameforge, or any of us staff at .org to reprogram these tools as they are not ours.

Speedsim works just fine for many many people so long as they have the proper language file installed. As far as the CR converters, those will have to be fixed when the changes we're making are finalized.


To the people who are complaining about the term 'fixed'

Fixed means taht we will revert some things to the old names, and some things will retain new names (obviously with correct grammer and vocab) This means there will be a slight period of adjustment that you may have to go through to get used to it. As far as the specifics of whats changing and what isnt, i cannot say because i do not have a full list. And its not my place.

As you can see, this is a hand down from the higher ups at gameforge. Its not like Cav randomly decided to shift crap on us. He is however dedicating much time to getting the problems resolved, and to make sure that things look inteligent and correct.

Please stop with the agrivated complaints as they get us nowhere. If you have a serious problem with the new names, i suggest you wait until the changes are put in, and then complain about those names that havent been changed back. Theres no point in saying "lol spy probe sounds like a 5 year old wrote it" because for all you know, the probes name could be on the list of being changed.

okie logar and just saw ur new post above

do u have the link to the new language file???

if any1 do have it,plz post the link and i agree on the dependence on 3rd party files (but i guess ogame would not have been wht it is without those hehe,especially speedsim )

SpeedSim Fix for New Text

Read this if you want your speedsim to work for now. Im sure it will stop working when they update the names again tomorrow. But this should hold you over until then.
