<div class="IPBDescription">And Russians, too...</div> You see, I have difficulty reading some foreign languages. Anyone want to translate the following review of my map?

The best machine translation I could find brought up such illuminating phrases as 'Yet ?ádné stupidly skipping , however sheerly nová atmosphere' - which may or may not be something about the absence of jumping puzzles.

Plus, for Russians, I found another review...

I have no idea if these people are saying nice things or not. If they aren't, break it to me gently. <img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> Many thanks in advance...

Not using exact translation, but...

Russian :

Small mod from one big map ( yeah, I <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'> either).

I'm going to say this now : if you don't know english, playing won't be interesting because there are many text messeges. To say, we will be recieving them constantly. But, even without English, you still won't get lost.

And so, the action is going on in the ...dunno. Ksene may be a place? We're walking through an alien base and fighting with them. Playing is very hard. Monsters are almost never alone , only in groups. What to say, even such a horrible enemy as ...dunno, direct translation, is met in pairs.

But in the readme, the author warns that if you're used to playing on the high difficulty , play on a medium one. If on a medium, play on the easy setting. If you're used to playing on easy, you're in trouble.

It's all made pretty good. The r_speeds are normal, although can be sluggish on slow pcs. But only very little.

The author is using many new textures. Something can't be found ( I assume it's repetiveness, not sure). At first we're going from the cavern outside, going into a some base. Then we go back again and to the same base, only on the upper level. On our way we recognize aliens, and get a bunch of messeges on the pager.

End : Only people who know English will understand the mod. Those who don't, I don't recommend this mod.

The reason for the errors is some of your letters are incorrect (such as the o instead of the r) and you have a few typos in there.

I did what I could with the paragraph, although I would have written it differently.

Design map: 8 Originalita: 7 Zábava: 6 Celkem: 21
Singleplayerové mapy s tematikou Xenu nemají pøíliš obdivovatelù. Nejvíce to zpùsobuje to, že musíte hloupì skákat z ostrùvku na ostrùvek a celá hra je ponìkud divná. Ale naštìstí je zde krátká epizodka Someplace Else, která kompletnì porušila normy map z Xenu. Již žádné hloupé skákání, ale naprosto nová atmosféra.
Modifikace se skládá se pouze z jedné mapy, ale autor prostory bravurnì poskládal, takže hraní si tu užijete dost. Mapa je výteènì propracovaná a pøináší novou formu (nìco na styl filmu Vetøelec). Tajná stanice na Xenu ukazuje vyspìlou inteligenci Allenù.
Chcete-li „ohutnat“ nìco nového z Xeòanského leveldesignu, zkuste tento mod.

Singleplayer
Map Design: 8 Originality: 7 Fun Factor: 6 Total: 21/30
A single player map based on the Xen universe that doesn’t have many admirers. A recurring theme in the map are tedious jumping puzzles, forcing you to jump from one “island” to another. Luckily, there is a small segment in Someplace Else, that changes this from another mundane Xen map. Not the tedious jumps, but the fresh and innovative use of atmosphere.
The mod is composed of only one map, but due to the author’s brilliant design, it is still enjoyable. The map is excellently designed and uses a unique style (something akin to the movie Vetøelec). A secret base on Xen displays the advanced intelligence of the aliens.
If you want to experience a new type of Xen-style level design, then try this mod.

Brilliant. Many, many thanks, both of you. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>
