Bring Back Languages

Post by Desolane900 » 01 Jan 2017, 20:49

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Bring back languages but make them more realistic.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Immersion.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Bring back multiple languages but make them real languages that would actually be used like Spanish, German, French.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Copypasta code from old languages with adjustments.

I would be down for this, however it is the USCM so it'd be odd to see players using different languages, no?

Ehh it might be a little odd but i'd say it'd be cool for immersion purposes and character stuff.

It would be nice people speaking other languages, but everyone still needs to know english, of course

Day 76:
They took Lawrence, dear god Lawrence... They ripped him off the stalk and smeared him in butter, just like Tyler and Jodie. They shipped him off to the popcorn factory...
I wonder what his wife will say.

Day 120: My brother says the VEGANS are protesting for more anti-meat bullshit. They want more of us to die. FUCKING HEATHENS.

Day 153: The ants are eating me from the inside out. They are popping out my kernels and taking them back to the nest. I feel them moving inside me. Julia says the pesticides will end our misery.

Day 300: Sweet Release. I can hear the planes flying over now. They are dropping the gas, it feels so good, sweet release-

-1 this doesnt really need to be a thing, mixing languages in the military communication wouldnt really be a thing unless talking to foreign civies, even then that seems like a niche survivor interaction deal

I think normal bay server have changed th code so when someone speaks, so let say someone speaks in Spanish and you don't understand Spanish instead of "***a**u**" we currently have, it would be "tacos burritos el cabrón bueno" and other gibberish. We also could have normally for russian language even if this suggestion is approved (so russian would be understood like "Moscow vodka cyka blyat mayonez").

Some suggested languges:

English (base one, AKA ":0")
Spanish (the US in on the "United Americas" with a lot of spanish-speaking countries and problably would have a big hispanic population in the future)
Portuguese (again, United americas and HUEHEUEUHUE)
Esperanto (as a esperantist, I would like to see a future where it is spoken. Also, all that "universal language" stuff)
French?

Si, háganlo.

Actually, could be nice to put at least English, spanish and portuguese/french, because that are universal languajes. (Almost anybody can understand basic spanish/portuguese/french?) Obiously you will not use it as standart lenguaje, just for some specific words like: VICTORIA!, REVOLUCION!, BIOLOCK PARA ADMINISTRADOR OFICIAL!, and stuff like that
"In 100 years more we will be a story.In 200 years an epic period.In 500 years a medieval tale.
In 1,000 years a relic. In 5,000 years archaeological remains. In 10,000 years an ancient mystery.
In 20,000 years a legend like Atlantis. We are nothing. Life is so short and death so long. "

Its would also be fun if some colonists would lack english knowledge similar to Iron Bears. So they would need someone knowing both english and their language to translate for them.
