Thanks Timon and SPIDIvonMARDER!

English Language version - JewelofGhandar_Eng (thanks to fortuni)

[fibanocci]

Nice. Anyone cares for a translation (at least the goals)?

[JonesCrusher]

OMG....a Christmas day Mission!

Thank you!
Merry Christmas!!!

[gnartsch]

Thanks for bringing up this mission !

Did anybody manage to finish this on 'Expert' ?
There is one objective, that I can't complete:

Find out what Lord Horatius' fallen star is.
(Dowiedz sie czym jest spadajaca gwiazda Lorda Horatiusa.)

Hmm... I found 'something' in a safe and I think I have read all readables.
So.. what might I be missing ?

Thanks!

Same question by me too,
However inside the safe there is a lighter square, may be we need to place something there.

A google translation:

page_0: "Finally made it! When two days ago I observed a star, I suddenly saw that one
the stars fall to earth. And it still fell very blikso my castle, so I took with me my sister and we went
look for it. And lying there, already cooled off, though still a little steamed. The star turned out to be a transparent mineral
(and so, yes, they look like!), odd only, with no shine, but they probably only shine in the sky. For now, hid it in a vault in the
Tower astrology. \

-Lord Horatius

i was in need of a mission thank you goes to play it now


stuck on last 3 objective on expert,i been everywhere but the double doors at start,is there a key for that?

also is there a way to access the sewer?

The double doors are just the intended exit.
And I am quite sure there is no way or reason to get into the sewers.

I think the 'fallen star' objective not checking off is a bug.

[downwinder]

ok thank you mission complete then,nice mission too

[baeuchlein]

There appear to be some other bugs as well. I always get the objective "Steal 400" as well as "Steal 600" on easiest difficulty level. Both check off once the appropriate amount of loot is obtained.

Furthermore, sometimes there's an arrow floating around in the main entrance to the house (the one where two guards are located, not the double doors near the starting point).

By the way, the translated parchment said the "fallen star" would be located in a vault, not in a safe. However, I did not find any vault in the astronomy tower area.

Apparently, this mission is in need of some polishing, although it's polish already.

P.S.: The "fallen star" most likely is the gem located in the safe in the western tower. The text stated that it was "cooled off, though still a little steaming". The light spot beneath the gem in the safe most likely is a plate used to deal with the gem's heat, either for the transport back to the castle or for storage. And since the gem should be hidden in the astronomy tower, it must be the western tower - that is the one with the telescope at the window and Lord Horatius', and the safe in it.

Looks like the objective should tick off either when Garrett takes the "star" or immediately after he read the text about it. However, that does not happen.

I have fed Google with the texts from the mission now, and it looks like the author already knew there was something wrong with the objectives. In the mission description file he spoke of problems with the game objectives at normal and expert levels. Another line was not completely translated by Google, but the pieces that came out in English suggest that it said something along the lines of "you can't win the game on Expert". The bug on normal could be the one with the two loot objectives.

And concerning these translations... I have already incorporated them into the mission's zip file. However, since I do not speak Polish and Google's translation was far from perfect, it's somewhat rough. I even had to fill in some gaps more or less from my imagination, especially concerning the mission description text. But I dare say it's better than nothing...

So, if a) someone could contact the author (I don't speak Polish and don't know whether he understands English) to obtain permission, and b) some native english speaker/reader/translator/whatever could check whether these translations are correct, we could all use this opportunity to have an english version of the mission soon...

[Dawggon]

This can be played without understanding a word of Polish, although I played it on 'easy' the first time through. It is a nicely designed map, but very symmetrical and with no hidden rooms or secret levers, etc. Very straight forward. I, too, found an arrow floating around the main entrance, so I picked it up and added it to my inventory. All the objectives failed to check off but it said 'mission complete' when I went to the main gate.
It would be nice to have it translated into English so we could read the books and notes and understand the quest better.
A neat little FM worth playing.

Well, it's still possible to publish the english translation in the form of a patch rather than as a completely translated mission, but at the moment, I don't have time to do anything like that. Maybe later.

[Unna Oertdottir]

Updated the dml code.

[fortuni]

Better still here's an English version of this 13year old Polish mission which also includes Unna's new dml. JewelofGhandar_Eng

I used Google translate which was a lot better in it's results than when I translated Abandoned Kingdom by ERH+ a few years ago.

Hopefully we'll soon have a multi-language zip.
