Xenus 2 QRE problem
 

Hi everyone. I'm giangra and I'm italian so excuse me if I do not use English properly
I'm a huge fan of the Xenus series and Precursors and I would like to make a translation of the game (Xenus 2: White Gold) in my language.
I have the Gamersgate version of the game and i read this post (http://www.rpgwatch.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12405) so I tried to install the resource editor but I can't start it because it appears the error that the program has stopped working. Could someone explain to me how I can fix this error?
Thanks for your time!:)

This could be due to the copy protection. As far as I know the original game and the editor use Starforce, but the GamersGate version may use something else. Look around the web a bit and you might find a way to make the editor think that your GamersGate version is the original one ;)…

the gamersgate/Game Factory Interative version uses a cracked nocd from a release group so it's unlikely they have any copyprotection

Thanks to all for the answers. I will try to find another editor for the Gamersgate version!

As far as I know the 1.1 version of the English releases will use some kind of DRM but I don't know if it is compatiblke to the editor. Also I don't think there will ever be another editor so you need to find some kind of emulation to help you out with the old DRM ;)…

Yes as wesp5 has said, to get QRE running you'll need to get a copy of the game working with the original 1.1 patch from Deep Shadows (which has starforce compiled into the dll's), and for me that means using daemon tools to mount a pirated image unfortunately.

I've extracted the existing Italian strings from the resource file for you (see the link below); there are quite a few already done but many more that aren't - you might need a team of translators!

Thanks to both for your help. I'll try to find the russian original version of the game :)

Just a hint, you don't need the complete game when you already have the GamersGate version. Search for miniimages…

Thanks again. Then I'll use your method!
