Description

Need for Speed: High Stakes - Ukrainian Translation & Dubbing mod

Made by: TSF Ukraine


This mod will fully translate your NFS: High Stakes from English into Ukrainian. It features both text and audio translation - the entire game has been fully voiced in Ukrainian by a team of professional voice actors. Every piece of text, sound and UI was fully rendered in Ukrainian, with localized original fonts that now support the full UA set of Cyrillic characters.


The announcer and all of the cops / choppers / dispatchers speak Ukrainian, too - with an audible difference between various cops depending on what track you choose to play on (ie, NFS III cops have distinct voices, UK cops have their own voices and accents, and the US cops have their unique voice lines, too!). This incredible technical feat has been achieved thanks to the incredible united effort of the "Classic Need for Speed" Discord community: AJ_Lethal, bug, TsTg, rata536 and others.


Installation:

1. Make a back-up copy of your game folder (in case you want to go back to English at some point)

2. Unzip the archive

3. Read the "Read me" PDF-file in the "Docs" folder in the language of your choosing (English, Spanish, Polish or Ukrainian)

4. Copy the "data" folder to your Need for Speed: High Stakes folder, replacing the original "data" folder and all of the files in it

5. Play the game!


WARNING:

This mod was made with either VEG's modern patch, or with the High Poly Patch in mind! Without one of these, your game will simply crash due to memory issues, as the new sound files are much bigger in size than their original counterparts. Thus, a patch that fixes the memory limitations is required to make this mod work as intended.


If you are using VEG's modern patch, please go into nfs4.ini, and ensure OwnHeapLimitMb is set to 512, like this:

OwnHeapLimitMb=512


Note: for the mod to work, your game's language must be set to "English".

Wow. What a major achievement! Thank you so much for your hard work guys! Going to try this out when I get a chance.

So you guys found a way to decompress those bnk files that contain the cop speech data?

Thank you! :) 


Yes... yes we did. Had to spend most of the Christmas vacations digging in, and all together we managed to crack it all. The process is not a pretty one, and it's all manual and takes ages, but hey... it works. If you're curious about how it's done, there are instructions on the classic NFS discord now!

Cool! 

Please, can you PM the classic NFS discord link to me if possible? I am indeed interested as to how this is done. :D

I just wonder, what need translate in racing game :) serious in adventure game ok , in rpg ok but in racing game? menu, start, exit

TSF_UkraineAddon author3 years ago
Reading description helps :) The game features over 2 hours of voice acting on top of various menus and UI elements. You can debate whether that needs to be translated or not, but even the original publisher clearly felt like translations and dubbings were necessary for a racing game, considering fully translated and dubbed versions in German & French exist.

Ok my fault I only think about text :) voice acting huge case !!! bravo, maybe if you guys make view distance better I will be in heaven !!! :D

Since this is made with Veg Patch in mind it should be as simple as to copy the speech files over to any other build using Veg Patch if you just want the Ukrainian audio but to preserve English menus and text (like I did with the Russian NFS HighStakes) That way you can set up a international flare but keep the game's menus in English so non speakers could enjoy and play it as well. I will try this and see if it works.

I tried this out last night and it seems just like on the Russian NFS High Stakes on some lines the English bleeds through, Like: I'm in pursuit of a BMW M5  but there is still way more dialogue than the Russian one :thumbsup:. I have made a Ukrainian DPS Lada 2107 to go with this so it can have the period appropriate Ukrainian Patrol vehicles, Now I'm working on Nils's Mitsubishi Lancer to make a DPS so it can have that too (since they used those) and maybe I'll do the CrownVic and Chevy Caprice too as I found they had them too. This was also the first time I tried Pete's Rocky Raceway and it suits it perfectly, If I can edit the road signs a bit in Jim's T3D I'll put some Ukrainian ones on that highway so we can have a Ukrainish track to go with this mod.
