Kaynide Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 There have been a lot of questions on Twitter about how I did the translation, so I figure I would post somehwere people can see it (and with a larger character limit in a post) So first I just grabbed a general cheat sheet for the heiroglyphs showing their English equivalents and just started writting in notepad as I got the letters. A lot of them do not match traditional glyphs (the W or U bird was actually a U or a V), and C and K were the same glyph. ("Can" and "Know" use the same glyph.) Finally, I had a lot of fun with IS (feather-staff) and Y(feather-feather). They look similar, but different enough to get it. ..though to be fair I started the translation with "thy" instead of "this"... was a huge mess until I figured it out. Also, some glyphs I just had to guess at based on spelling, which unlocked more glyphs (beautiful and obelisk were big helps). Finally, some of the characters are mirrored (the first arm E, the A in Amon-Ra). I thought it might spell a secret word, but it looks like they show capitalization. Would love to see more of this kind of thing, maybe even less text, but with the story of other "npc" survivors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EUArkServer Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Looking forward to these... Will we be able to display certain survivor notes like these tablets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuardVarg Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Really doesn't feel like early access is a bonus rather than we should have waited for Scorched Earth to go on sale, cause it still doesn't have primitive.. Interesting.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatansPegasus Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Ok normally i wouldnt give a rats arse but considering egyptology in particular Hieroglyphics is something i love the fact that you screwed it up annoys me greatly. Also theirs no cartouches aka nameplates where names like Anubis or even fred would appear point is that note could be someone writing a shopping list then it being important.

rpicardi1 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Explorer Notes can be accesses through your game stats in game. I'll try to get some screen shots next time I am playing. You just have to check off which map you are playing. The notes you have will show up as small icons which you can click on to read at your leisure. It is somewhat similar to learning engrams. They are not that easy to find. They will be picked up automatically when you walk on top of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
