[0.97a] Valkyrians - EN Edition
« on: August 27, 2024, 03:14:13 AM »

Valkyrians

Original mod by ValkyriaL, Originem (Original Fossic post)
Translated by persocom01


Download: Github
Download optional anime portrait replacer: Github

Requires LazyLib, GraphicsLib, MagicLib
Integrated with Nexerelin

The Valkyries? They are a female dominated independent military power that once occupied many undiscovered worlds and galaxies in this sector. They specialize in energy damage ballistics, missiles and artillery, their fleet is very large, and their unconventional battleships numerous. They are a formidable opponent, and should not be taken lightly unless you are confident.

5 Destroyers
5 Frigates
8 Fighter Wings
26 weapons
1 Core Star System, Enigma, located just north east of Yma

Use of AI:
Translation aids: DeepL, google translate
Base portrait generation: canva
All translations were reviewed for correctness and clarified if they referred to in-game objects. All portraits have gone through modification using (mainly) microsoft paint to fix flaws, overall logic and balance of the images, a process that took between several hours to several days per portrait.

the weeb portraits are not part of the original mod, but I made them.

how they were made:

step 1: get an ai to generate a portrait of a Valkyrie in space


step 2: fix the image with an image editor (in this case, microsoft paint)


step 3: remove background using online tool

stop 4: shrink image to 128x128

each portrait took anywhere from several hours to several days, and altogether took longer than the translation itself. It was my first 'portrait pack', but I hope you guys enjoy it.

I just released rc5 of the English version. The main differences are smoothening of translations since rc1, but also importantly, the .jar file was edited in order to translate the mission tactical briefings, something I did not realize I had to do before. To retain compatibility I did not recompile the jar file, but rather edited the bytecode, so there should not be any problems. This should be the end of any untranslated parts of the mod, but let me know if any are found.
