Uncharted Waters New Horizons

Nice Page, will be back for more.
I can give some contribution on uwnh 1 & 2 (i got both english and chinese version).
Anyone interested to convert uwnh 4 into english? i can provide the source cd-iso image.

would love to see uwnh 4 translated into english!!!

please go for it ( and let me download a copy ) 🙂

cheers!

Yes, I am definitely interested in compiling a lot of information like that into the "Guide" section of the site.

Perhaps we can put a bunch of smaller hints/tips like that into one article. Then if any others arise in the future, we can post a Part II or something like that.

You can email me personally using the contact form or by emailing greg (at) grinc.org (had to break it up like that just in case a spam bot comes along trying to harvest email addresses from message boards)

As for the ISO image, I'd like to at least get a copy of it somehow and then we can go from there. 600-700 megs like that is too big to upload to this particular website, but if you contact me personally I'm sure we could come up with a solution. (for example, I've got an FTP site that could handle that kind of size)

It requires a lot of work to translate a game, especially if the game uses compression scheme. I'm not an experience programmer, but at a glance at some of the files, the unicode texts are compressed. You'll need to find a diehard fan whos a seasoned programmer, at ASM level, and is willing to spend countless hours to reverse the compression algorithm to have any progress at all.

Even if you find one, you'll need to find a translator whos willing to translate over 50,000 lines of dialogues - the typical amount in games based heavily on text. :whistle:

And to the poster who asked is there Uncharted Waters 3&4. Yes, there are is. Uncharted Waters 3 was a DOS game; Uncharted Waters 4 was for Windows and has a really nice opening movie. Both never made it to America.

@Greg: A wiki would accomplish that, but the community needs to grow larger for it to be efficient, plus I'm not sure how you'll incorporate or even possible to incorporate a wiki.

A FYI, if you don't know what's a wiki:
A wiki is a site where every visitor can edit and modify the pages to add onto the contents of the site.
