I wanted to post that, but I don't think you can babelfish pdf files.

[aaaaa]

This must be very very helpful and precious information for KB:L game playing, only if I can read Russian language. :(
Any Russian-capable volunteer to translate it into English?
Just Babelfish and some proof-reading of text will do.

[Shd]

This is very precise info about game (including mechanics). Spamm, did you completely debugged/analyzed all formulas in configuration files? :)

Anyway, thx. After reading of this manual discovered many new things i didnt knew before. :grin:

[Zhuangzi]

Anyone want to translate for us? I've written mini guides to games before but I won't do one for King's Bounty if they are already done in Russian.

[Daedalus]

looks like a nice document, i'd love to see an english translation

So you originally russian? I s there any chance on a translation?

[Shd]

I just know russian language. But nor russian nor english is my native language, so translation from me will be at awful quality. Most interesting thing (in my opinion) is formulas part in that manual. I can translate some parts of manual, but cannot promise much, because lack of time :(

[Amamake]

I tried to convert it to html so it'll be possible to do a google translation, but nothing seem to work, ugh.

[ThyrsaM]

Pity, would be nice to have such a guide..

yep - I can imagine that it is more about time than anythin else,
Most of the PDF is +1 INITIATIVE, +3 Attack...
So if anyone knowing azbuka would voulanteere for this job, we would surely love it (I deciphered many words, as I know the game little bit, but still it is pain in ass to de-azbugate it in my little head)

[Shd]

There is not only formulas (game mechanics are big chapter but only one in all manual). There is mathematical terms too (not difficult ones, but still). But that will be not largest problem. I just don't know how units, spells, rage spirits and their abilities are named in english version. Same about NPC's quests etc. I am playing russian version :)

Yep - most of the formulas have already english expressions :cool:
and numbers are luckily in arabic :) (so all that cool tables are quite readable already... so I guessed that nemoznaja is impossible :rolleyes: [what an elfish smart ass I am... sadly that I look like orcish ass :!:]

and yep - the text around is what I could wait , but I would suggest just to run a script "Replace with" ... HINT:
Replace "Iniciativa" [written in russian] with "Initiative"...
run such scripts for key words like attack, defence, experience etc and the manual would be readable by 80%... ;)

[Shd]

"Nice" idea :lol:

Then where is problem? Convert manual to txt or html and use google translation (or some other) :)

There is result for part i already posted in other forum thread:

upon receipt of the Spirit, a list of all the improvements of all abilities, which to date fulfilled all the requirements to obtain. Since then randomly (for all improvements are equal probability) from the list of selected 2 improvement and offered a choice player.

There is an exception - if Spirit reaches the level of minimum required to obtain a new skill, that ability will be invited to force instead of a "random" option. If a player refuses to receive this skill in the future it will not be forced to propose, but will be recorded in the general list a par with the other improvements.

P.S. And know in Slovakia many words are similar to russian ones :)

Geesh, I was hoping that the obvious option of "do it yourself if you are so smart" will go unnoticed :)
and yep - I can speak/understand 80% of russian language, just don't remember azbuka at all (shame on me)
aaah - did anyone mention that the PDF is locked by password ?

Thanx, but if you refered to "KB_manual_1.6.4.zip" 1-Oct-2008 04:00 (gosh, someone was up all the night heh?) than this one is locked with password as well... (or could it be that my adobe transfered something like cookies from the locked one? I can't imagine this happening but well, who knows..):confused:

[Tempo]

It describes a new boss (in expansion I suppose) called "Borer":

No, I refered to parts of manual without password in the same folder.

[Gatts]

No, I refered to parts of manual without password in the same folder.

That was my second thought (just that the script trick can save time when done in larger scope)

but at least I am sure now,

Thanx again.

Thanks, good thing I am proficient in Russian.

Perfect manual, I'll waiting for English version. Good job =)
I quite good know russian language, but I prefer english ;]

Is anyone able to put it through some automatic translator and post that? I tried to do it but I really hate pdf's and couldn't figure out how to do it.

[Mystic Phoenix]

Is anyone able to put it through some automatic translator and post that? I tried to do it but I really hate pdf's and couldn't figure out how to do it.

You mean all of the 130 pages? I do it with things that I'm interested in, at least I can read Cyrillic and can guess from some similarity to English or German which information can be expected in certain passages.
In the manual's latest version you can copy & paste texts easily and using Google translate for example gives understandable passges in Eglish or German.

@spamm: In case we had enough translators to convert it to German, could you edit the manual to that language? Or tell us how to do it? I have not much experience in dealing with PDFs right now.

[Gatts]

Thanx for the un-locked pdf! Really.

exported to .DOC and translated most trigger words that are known to me (would the DOC format not totally screw the interface - I could have simultaneously opened the original old ENG manual and so I could translate it much better - at least I felt like being in quiz of KB TL - (most translated words were based on my memory from playing the game :D )

[Mystic Phoenix]

I have a question concerning the spell section in the Russian manual. On the left column under the spell icons there are 3 rows f text.
First one is the spell level, third one is the cost of it. Can anyone explain, what is in line 2? I can figure out it is Njet (no) or Da (yes), but no idea so far, what it means.

[Tempo]

Line 2:
AI - whether the enemy uses a spell

I already made automatic translation the first 22 pages of the manual

Sorry, guys. Some problems with damaged autogenerated links on that hosting.
I reupload the file. Try this one (http://letitbit.net/download/9cb9e028350/KB-manual-1.6.4-p23-p73-Eng.zip.html).

The final non-translated pages 74-132 you can find here (http://letitbit.net/download/361a53422299/KB-manual-1.6.4-p74-p132-Rus.zip.html).
My automatic translation will be ready few days later, maybe on weekend.

I also tried converting with a PDF to HTML conversion program - it was unable to do it. I think it's probably because of the characters in the Russian alphabet that the program can't convert.

Someone could try using a Russian PDF to HTML program and then it may be doable. Hope so because it certainly looks worthwhile.

I registered to thank the authors of the Russian Fan Manual for the great job they did, and to thank Tempo for posting the auto-translated version. This is a really great game and the manual helps so much.

[Metroplex]

I downloaded the manual and it is awesome!... if I could understand it that is!
However it looks too professional to be made by a 'fan' and this gives me hope because I believe it is produced by the makers of KB and hopefully once the game gains more converts... like me, even though I haven't bought the full version yet but can't wait to... and be translated into English, I used Babelfish but it is too time consuming, my only hope is that they release the translated copy soon.:)

[Tempo]

There is only automatic translated version of the manual at this moment.
Full file, Eng, 40 Mb (http://letitbit.net/download/31a86e960761/KB-manual-1.6.4-Eng.zip.html)
It would be nice if anyone correct it.

[Calinda]

BTW I can read russian, so if one has any specific questions for something in the manual, then I probably could help.

[Gatts]

O gosh - I have smartfilter for letitbit... did anyone uploaded it somewhere else (like personal FTP...) ?

[Tempo]

Try to download from this mirror (http://depositfiles.com/files/obxf7i0fx).

[Gatts]

Thanks, the second link works perfect.

[nagash99]

Anyone has another mirror besides depositfiles for the translated manual? Thanks in advance.
