Now For Script:
history script:
we only translate the "@Text" party
For a script like elm.dat we have

Code:

:if:register(elm1)
:then
@Text:If a wild POKEMON~appears, let your~POKEMON battle it!
:endif

will became:

Code:

:if:register(elm1)
:then
@Text:Si un POKéMON~sauvage apparaît,~défie-le avec ton~POKéMON adoré!
:endif

And now for trainers, we translate dialogue and NPC type

Code:

168
Bird keeper
Rod
The keyword is~guts!*Those here are~training night and~day to become bird~POKEMON masters.*Come on!
Gaaah!
Gaaah!

Johto|Trainer

Code:

Le mot clé est "tripe"!*tu en a besoin~pour t'entrainer jour et~nuit pour devenir le~maitre des POKEMON de type vol.*Allez viens te battre!*
Gaaah!

wrong forum mate, but thank you. i shall sticky for a bit

Darkpatriot · Jan 25, 2013

Planning on writing a few tutorials, mostly on P3D modding, and I would like to know where they 'should' be posted, If at all possible, it would be great if you guys added a "Tutorials" sub-forum under "Mods, Maps and 'Mons"

we don't need a whole section for that, this is for all mod threads that aren't about specific projects. tag your threads with tutorial tag like this one is.

also, i would wait a while to really get stuck into making tutorials about this stuff, the map editor is not done, and i'm changing a lot of things about how mods load and what they can and cant do in the coming weeks.

Thanks. Maybe I'll translate the game into Spanish.
