Unique Buildings for RT Updated Quests and Custom Sponsors - Need Your Help!

[PonderThis]

I don't know about the rest of you but I still enjoy playing BERT. Still, it could use a little variety. One of the reasons I like the Unique Buildings for RT mod is that it provides a bit of variety. Your game experience now differs a bit more than the vanilla version depending on which sponsor you play. So with your help I'd like to beef it up a bit.

One way of adding more variety is supporting custom sponsors. I've decided to start with Nuevos Aires. Suggestions for improving any of the text is appreciated.

MORE SUGGESTIONS
I'd like to hear from people that have played this for suggestions on how to tweak existing entries. Some Unique Buildings feel more powerful than others but I'm not sure what kind of tweaks would be needed to balance things out.

Furthermore, I'd like suggestions for other Custom Sponsors. Remember, it has to be a BERT sponsor! Most of the ones on Steam and even here have not been updated for BERT so be sure to check.

CURRENT VERSION
I've updated Steam to for this new version (v2).

This actually looks quite nifty and flavourful! And I'm flattered you chose to start with Nuevos Aires.

The buildings are solid. Just a couple of very minor text corrections: Old Earth is always capitalized as such (not "old Earth"), and the plural of "asador" is "asadores".

Thanks for looking at this, Lord Shadow.

Re: Old Earth. Man I hate inconsistent capitalization and I hate you caught me at it!

I went through the whole text localization file and fixed several other cases of "old Earth" so they all read "Old Earth" now. Also updated the "asadores" plural.

PS, is there any call for language localization? I'd need help from native speakers but with help it's certainly doable.

 

[Ryika]

You just wrap them into the Tag of the language in Question, instead of <Language_en_US> it's <Language_DE_DE> for example. You can find the tags for supported languages in the XML/Text/ Folder.
But it's questionable whether Localization is really worth the effort.

You should also have a look at the Mass-Replace Functionality of the SDK (I think by default it's that other tab of the Search-Function). Only takes like 3 seconds to change all "old Earth" into "Old Earth".

I think you're probably right. It would take a concerted effort on the part of a translator to not only translate what's there right now but to also keep up with updates. So yeah it's probably not worth the effort.

Since there haven't been any more comments I've decided to call this done for now so I've ticked the version up to 2 and uploaded it to Steam.

I'm still open for suggestions for new custom sponsors, so if you come late to this thread don't hesitate to post.
