Don's Spiffy NEWS

Don's Spiffy NeWz:

3.11.2000: This is so spiffy, isn't it? Yay!!! Download latest English Translation of the Fighter Maker 95!

DO NOT ASK ME FOR SOME FILES FOR FM95 !!! Better ask people on my FM95 forum!

P.P.S. I have got over 6 new spiffy tutorials for RM2k right now... but I can't upload them still. Please, wait a li'l !

1.11.2000: I have got very beta version of the Fighter Maker 95. It was wrong when I tought that FM95's translation is a piece of cake. FM95 is very hard to use proggie... There's some text inside. It's main reason of its unplayability for now. It's easy to change default files... but almost impossible to create your own...

I gonna make "Nigga Fighters VS Satan" game. There's no way to use default GFX... 8-(((

What I translated in the CodeMason-GOSU-Katalyst's verson of the FM95:

all non-translated context pop-up menus in the editor
all untransated or missed text from dialogues
90% of error messages in the game runner module
all redifinitions of the keyboard and joysticks
content of the .INI files
all gamedisk's compiling messages
"GAME" (Story Mode)/ "MATCH" (Player 1 VS Player 2 mode) text menu
and many many more...

I can't translate big phrases because of my broken vocab... V_V
Are there some cool free Japanese-English comuter translators? If you know some then tell me.

NOTE 1: I did this additional FM95's tranny for home use ONLY.
NOTE 2: FM95 is not available for downloading on my site.

P.S. My ISP's connection is bad now... so I can't upload anything big... Do not ask me for new version of FM95. I just created new forum about FM95. Check it on SUNNY Forum also. You may ask your FM95's questions there. Or e-mail your question to nitrogames@yahoo.com (it's e-mail of FM95's Translators: CodeMason, GOSU, Katalyst)

21.09.2000: Yo!!! DANISH(5k) RM2k's fonts (with accents!!!) by TNTz.

!!!!! WARNING !!!!! by DRAKUL
True Type Fonts, CAN NOT be used with RM2K for any reason whatsoever! A renaming the file's extension from TTF to FON will not change the format of that file. I know is sounds outragous, but I've seen it happen. True Type Fonts are NOT bitmapped fonts!!! They are vector based fonts (thus can be resized), and you may harm your system if you attempt to use them.
