Yikes. I always thought Google translate worked really well, but apparently it only works really well when translating into English. Fortunately, most of the gibberish goes away if one uses it a second time to reverse-translate your post back into English. So, I think I figured out most of it now.

Anyway, seems like you're pretty much sorted. If you need further help, I'd need to know exactly which version you're working with. The one I used for development claims to be German/English (in the initial language selection prompt, I mean), but the actual in-game languages are German and French - go figure. I don't recall having looked at/for the French texts at all, so if yours is a bilingual version with English as the secondary option, I probably won't be any help at all. If it's a bilingual version with English as the default option, or an English-only version, I might be able to provide some guidance.

Unless there are structural differences between the data files, that is. But that you say you already got it to work to some extent strongly hints that there aren't any, I suppose.

If you do manage get it to work all the way, it'd be great if you could upload your mod and/or a changelog. The former would be directly useful to others who use the same version as you, the latter might be useful if someone, at some point, wants to do the same for yet other versions/languages.

I wish I'd found time to work on the announced next version in the meantime, that one would be easily customizable to give you English movie description texts. For now, I guess you'll have to write those by hand, huh?

Oh, right, I'd almost forgotten that the country name slots were unbuffered. That was one of the more annoying aspects of this project, being constrained by the lengths of the original strings. There're bound to be offset tables somewhere, but for such a small sample, I have no idea how to locate them, unfortunately.

And yeah, that'd obviously be a problem for a different language, since I took the easy way out and used hard-coded offsets on that one. Nice job for sorting it out, though!

I don't recall anyone complaining about the x-rated ratio before you, but you've got a point. It's about 10% in the original set, and two or three times as high for the IMDb sets. I just took 'em as they came.  It's fairly easy to manually adjust, though - you can sort the IMDb2k range by the x-rated column to get them all in a contiguous block, and then simply remove most of them from the selection pool by erasing the "?" marker in the rightmost column.

Ja, hast Du schon. Ich glaube, wir wollten urspruenglich warten, bis es eine besser dokumentierte v1.0 gibt. Im Moment sieht es bei mir aber nicht so aus, als ob das in absehbarer Zeit (d.h. fruehestens im Sommer) so weit sein wird...

Will heissen, ich bin weder besonders dafuer noch besonders dagegen. Entscheide Du!

2. .xls oeffnen, in der VBE den RSC-Pfad setzen (Alt+F11 druecken und die Zeile

entsprechend anpassen).

Kann mir jemand helfen? Bin kein Programmierer daher bitte für Doofe. *gg*

Danke.
