Current Version: 1.0.2.4


Hihi again!

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I wanted to post my relocalizer up for those of you who don't frequent the Tech Support area. Yesterday, R1CH, lhr0909 and I were in a miniature race to create a 1.5 relocalizer, and we've all completed our relocalizers, but one may lack the other's features, or vice versa.

I'm aiming to improve on that - I've supported all regions, and I've used my design skills to make the program as minimalistic as possible.

So what does this program offer more than lhr0909's relocalizer, which also has all of the regions? At this point, it doesn't do much more, but I'm the minimalistic design type of user, and I don't like to be clouded by controls everywhere on the form. That's why, at any one point, there's a maximum of 3 controls to look at.

What's so unique about my support for this program? I work closer with Tazerenix to figure stuff out. For example, the locales on the main thread were created by me, likewise for the server list, which was extracted from one of my upcoming programs.

After relocalizing the client to a new locale for the first time, you will need to download a ~1.5gb patch. This will only happen once per new locale - for example - if you've already relocalized to koKR before, you won't need to download a 1.5gb patch for koKR.

FAQ:

+ Show Spoiler +

Q: Will this change the language and audio of the Starcraft II client?
A: XRelocalizer will change the audio of the Starcraft II client based on what asset you use. The program will ask you to select the asset to use. The language cannot be changed, as it would result in an invalid language pack error.

Q: If I relocalize to a new region, do I need an account on that region to be able to play?
A: Yes

Q: Can you be banned for using this program?
A: This program does not change any files in a way which would promote hacking, therefore it is unlikely for you to get banned. Relocalizing is completed by the game by re-patching your client to the target locale.

Q: In the other post, R1CH said that the program sends emails, and to be wary of it.
A: The emails that were being sent were nothing more than non intrusive error messages which I've used in the past with STCI. However I've taken the email sender out since many people have used the relocalizer without fail. You can assure yourself of this by downloading my source code below.

In an effort to clean up the updating process, as well as unify all of my programs (upcoming ones too) together, I've taken a different approach to updating. If you're having problems with the program not working after download, please both PM me and try the old relocalizer from http://xplora.biz/XRelocalizer_Old.zip

Why we need 3 relocalizers now? Especially if they all do same function

Why don't u guys just work together??? The workload in maintaining your program will also be lighter.

They're not all the same functions, and I pointed this out in the OP, because I knew someone was going to ask this.

lhr0909's relocalizer uses separate files for each locale and does not allow for different assets, and if I want to relocalize to more regions, I can't use R1CH's relocalizer. This fixes on that

I'd work together, but I'm too shy to talk to them In all honesty, we all use different languages, and having a competition is pretty fun!

I believe until the next patch comes, we'll have it easier. Next patch, Blizzard will most likely change the process like they did with STC every patch.

What you mean under "different assets"? Are you saying about having 2+ languages in one game client? But lhr0909's relocalizer already allows that, just change server, start launcher and it downloads any language, then change back and edit one line in variables.txt (localeidassets)

So what does this program offer more than lhr0909's relocalizer, which also has all of the regions? Firstly, his relocalizer doesn't let you change the assets, so you cannot use different sounds on a locale.
Secondly, I've also made the program a single file

It's just not have automatized part where it changes variables.txt line - localeidassets

I mean the sounds, which are part of the assets. There is a surprising amount of people on TL who wouldn't know how to edit that one line in the Variables.txt file, or even know about that.

I am sorry, but what exactly does this let you do? Just from reading the other comments, I am taking a guess and saying that it allows you to change the region that you play in? Like if I am on the NA server, I can play on the EU or KR server?

Yep, providing you have an account on those servers!

Yes, I know, but it's not in the program currently, I already have it in my program, and I've already made my program look better. Not only that, but I frequently release updates to my program. I'm not telling you to use it, I'm telling you it's better overall, at least currently.

If anyone has a zhCN SC2 Client, please PM me

Edit: The zhCN client is still on patch 1.4, so you cannot relocalize to it.

Before I used Bigfoot to relocalize. It also showed latency. Would it be possible to add that to your program?

Latency to each server? Sure!

Edit: Done!

Does there really need to be a massive difference? It now comes down to support, I aim to support my programs on a day to day basis and add features which people request ASAP. Besides, I probably stated this before, but I love competition between programmers. Also I like using my own programs because I know what they're doing and I'm assured that they'll work every time, and I want to be able to assure other people of the same thing.

So, I bought the game in PtBr but I want to play it in English (voices, text) and with English Hotkeys.

So I downloaded the game files in English, installed them and ran your relocalizer. Now, I can play the game with audio in English, but the text (and hotkeys) is still in English. I realized this may be caused by the way the new patch works, but is there a way I can play the game in English?

Thanks!
Can we go now?

I believe it is currently impossible to change the text language with any of these tools. You can manually edit your hotkeys in the SC2 menu.

I used to be able to play on the TW/KR server (with TW client) using korean sounds, without using a localizer. Is this no longer possible? Having trouble searching for other threads with the answer ~_~

The ping does not seem super accurate.

Ping is not a very reliable way to determine if bnet is working or not as battle.net does not respond to ping. Additionally you are not pinging the actual game servers but the web servers. The bnet status thread stickied at the top of the SC2 forum should be more accurate as it actually tries to login to each realm.

So wait your saying provided you have an account there on that server. So if I take my smurf and re localize it to KR from US that actually does nothing because I don't have a KR account? I don't understand the point here am I missing something?
