Hello,

I've already translated the main text file of the game, and imported it successfully into the game structure. But I have trouble with packing the bin subtitle files from missionscript folder. It seems they are not extracted correctly, or they're not packed correctly, or both.

Does anyone have more knowledge about SDS files in missionscript folder?!

The game shows error message that the load of the mission has failed. If you unpack and repack the untouched original files in these SDS's, it shows the same error. If you put the original SDS file, there is no problem at all...

I have the same problem as well. I'm translating the Turkish version of this great game but when you continue a mission sometimes it crashes to desktop. :(

As you said, problem is missionscript sds files. If you unpack and repack just original files you will receive Load Failed message.
