Planet Explorers

Untitled

V1.0.7 Released on Steam
We’ve released the latest build of Planet Explorers on Steam. This version has the animal riding as well as some extra missions. This one took a lot longer than we planned as we decided to add in several new animals (in the end, only one made it in, it’s on one of the islands) and the animations took a while. We’ll add the rest of them in the next build.

V1.0.6 Released
Hope everyone had a great time during the holidays. We wanted to add in riding animals in this build, but a few animation error delayed the release, so it will come in the next build. We have added in the music player, with that all the Kickstarter promises have been fulfilled. We are going to continue to fix bugs. We're also aiming to get 2 add on missions added in the next build involving the two islands off the Galileo Continent. We also have a few more animals to add. Here's a look at riding animals:

V1.0.5 Released on Steam
Another update. We didn’t add in the story elements that we wanted, still tweaking some issues with adding in story elements without causing save problems, so hopefully next time. We’re also adding in a music player next time. The 32 bit version is up…but it’s not stable yet, it crashes after about an hour, so we’re still tweaking that as well. Finally, we’ve started on testing out if the player can ride animals…still not sure if it’ll be in, but we have some ideas on how to accomplish it.

Fixed font errors in message box
Fixed no sound for reloading and shooting when using ISO gun
Fixed the range of turrets when enemy players attack from out of range
Fixed repeated conversation in the tutorial
Fixed followers getting too many items when collecting

Fixed the ambush mission not triggering after Todd dies in multiplayer
Fixed the repair machine not working properly
Fixed reloading sound and firing sound not synchronizing with the animation in multiplayer
Fixed some missions not completing after a server restart in multiplayer adventure
Fixed the colony icon of the opposed camp being seen sometimes
Fixed NPC disappearing in colony
Fixed GRV ships mission cannot be completed in multiplayer
Fixed skill level of followers
Tweaked sound logic when in third person
Added the great sword and dagger to the creation system
Added 6 language fonts in game (including Russian, French, Spanish, Italian, German, and Portuguese. The translation in these language will function well in game)
Added background music for Chen
Added particle cannon script being sold by Percy Malik

How to Add New Translation in Game
We’re opening up the language spreadsheet to players who want to help with the localization of Planet Explorers. Everyone who would like to translate the story or any UI content can edit this sheet. Here is the how-to:

First open Steam. Right click Planet Explorers and choose properties. Click local files tab in the new pop-up window and choose browse local files.




The folder you’ve just opened is where your game is installed. Find the file named i18n. This is the database for all the text in the game. The extension of this file is .db, so you will need the right software to open it. We use SQLite v2.1.


You can edit all the text under Browser data tab by double clicking the text field.


Or if you like, you can modify the table and create a new language sheet. Just to make sure the field type is text.




Save and apply all the changes. Now you've finished most of the work, the rest is to load the new spreadsheet in game.

Click into the Option in launcher and switch to the language you would like to use. Then you are ready to go.



These edited databases will not be attached to the game (the game officially only has English and Chinese), so for anyone who wants the translation to be other than English and Chinese, you will have to download the text databases that other people have shared.
