[PnP] Space Empires: 4x + Close Encounters (redesign for translators)

[Yaaroo]

Hi.
I wished to have hi quality prints so I made almost full redesign of SE and SE:CE.
I made few changes to increase theme or make something more useful. None of this change any rules - is all visual changes - like I replace half of tokes by hexes. Which way more cooler if you asked me.

All files are in Polish created with Gimp. Unfortunately I didn't think to leave English as an bonus language.

Anyone who want to translate it to any other language can find links below. It's a very simple task - not much in-game text. Probably one can do that in a matter of hour.

I'd appreciate VERY MUCH sharing any translation with me 
Here is some pictures of game components:

I think this can be very usefull:

ENG part its made with OCR software - so there might be some minor errors/typos there.

Space Empires: 4x: Close Encounters addon is ready for some time now. Link in first post updated.
I also added veneer for a game box in base game directory.

Yaaroo,
Do you know if there has been a french translation?
Could you provide again a link for the english, as the google docs link is dead?   
This seems amazing, and I'd like to try a french/english combo for the birthday of a friend tomorrow.
Thank you!

It took me a while to find it but I did it!

you can freely edit it and add your language in the new column.

But remember it's just card's text from first addon. but actually there is no much other in-game text.

If u translate game I'd appreciate if u share files with me.

Yaaroo,
Thank you! It is a great job! Additional thanks for using GIMP (and Linux).

I have some questions. Could you answer them?
1. How do you export and put together tokens? Are you using scripts?
2. You created rectangle tokens. So you haven't had any trouble with them? It is better solution?
3. Noob question. How can I change outer glow for text after translation with minimum cost?
4. Why are you created two boards (for 3 and 4 players), but not one board with dashed lines?

Thank you.

Yaaroo,

1. How do you export and put together tokens? Are you using scripts?

Yes. I wrote small, easy to use (for me ) script:

2. You created rectangle tokens. So you haven't had any trouble with them? It is better solution?

I think so. They're easier to handle in my opinion. More surface to grab them. Plus more space for images and numbers.
That's how my SE looks today:

Извините, вам запрещён просмотр содержимого спойлеров.

3. Noob question. How can I change outer glow for text after translation with minimum cost?

Unfortunatelly in gimp it's a static thing and can't be easily maintain. Plus I did this files in one of the dumbest way possible so they are not easy to handle... :/ Today I'd do that differently.

For every text you will need to delete outerglow layer:


then on the text layer generate a new outerglow:

4. Why are you created two boards (for 3 and 4 players), but not one board with dashed lines?

I'm not sure it was long time ago. I think I found this dashed lines irritating and sometimes not easy to read... But I'm not too sure...

Thank you.

No problem. If you have any questions drop me a message.

Hi

Great job - are you considering maybe making a hq PnP of Talon as next step?
I made my own PnP but its from the Vassal module, which has ship counters in low quality

[Yaaroo]

Many thanks!

Please find link to replicators expansion scans in the first post
