 2. Project History
____________________________________________________________

On the summer of 1999 we held a translation poll at our site
(http://translations.animangarpg.org) and Record of Lodoss 
War arrived in 3rd place. On November 25, 2000 F.H. released
a Record of Lodoss War Technical document which contained 
information on how the game's text was stored as well as a
dumped script and an extremely well detailed Engineer notes
document. With all this done we had a fair advantage at our 
sight and we were able to carry out a very smooth translation 
job. Filia claimed this translation project for herself and 
got quickly into the business. After a few months she finished
the first translation of the script. Meanwhile at the same time
hacker aziwoqpd had revised F.H.'s documents and had written
a new VWF routine for the game. After a couple of weeks the 
script was inserted and everything was fine, the first beta patch
was sent to the Beta Testers and they played through the game.

They noticed the lack for translation of townfolk, items and other
assorted things. At this stage Filia decided to go over the script
again as she had mis-translated a few bits of the dialogue. After
she finished the main game script she covered the items and townfolk
and the newly translated script was sent to the main hacker.

So here is where we are, this time, we are releasing an uncomplete
beta patch, which will eventually be finished, to the public. Please
refer to the Translation Notes to see various notes on what the patch
has and what it is missing.
