welcome to our boards, nadia!

the text files included in Yitzi's pack will overwrite some of your Spanish files. the result will be a game part English and part Spanish. 

have you noticed the Spanish section of our forum?

As sisko said, it will work, but will overwrite some of the Spanish files.  To keep the Spanish part, here's what you should do (I'm pretty sure it will keep all the Spanish):
-Download the patch like everyone else, but don't copy the entire folder to your main Alien Crossfire directory.  Instead:
-Copy over the .exe file and overwrite the existing one.
-Copy over the patch readme if you want.  It has no effect on gameplay, so it's not a problem if it's in English.  If you'd like to translate it to Spanish, go ahead.
-Open up the Script.txt file in your main Alien Crossfire folder.  Find the bit where it says #LANDMARKTOOMANY, and change the following $NUM1 to 56.
-Open up the Alphax.txt file from the patch, and open up the same file from your main Alien Crossfire folder.  The one from the patch has some extra lines (everything after the number of subspace generators needed for alien victory); copy them over to the version in your Alien Crossfire folder, and translate the part after the semicolon if you want (it has no effect on gameplay, but tells you what each variable does).  Then save the modified alpha.txt file.
-The patch readme has rules for modifying map files for compatibility with the patch.  You'll have to use that method to personally modify the xplanet and xplanetx map files, since the pre-modified ones have landmarks in English.
-If afterward you want to copy all the modified files (terranx, alphax, the patch readme, script.txt, and the maps) to a folder (putting the maps in another folder named Maps) and upload that as the Spanish version of my patch, go ahead.  (Although you might want to wait for version 1.2, which will fix a few bugs accidentally introduced into the 1.1 version as well as adding new functionality.)

Thanks for the welcome!

I know the Spanish section, but did not see much movement there ...

Yitzi Thanks for the reply, I'll wait for version 1.2 of the patch for work into Spanish compatibility and post the result.

I love that there are people improving my favorite game, please continue with the excellent work

Yitzi Thanks for the reply, I'll wait for version 1.2 of the patch for work into Spanish compatibility and post the result.

You can do most of the compatibility work now.  All that will be changed in 1.2 is alphax.txt (which is getting a few changes and two new variables), translating the patch readme if you were going to do that, and of course the executable itself.

I'm trying to perform the task in order to incorporate the Yitzy's unofficial patch 1.2 to the Spanish version and found that the Spanish translation has not been done correctly in the alphax.txt and for that reason the game does not work properly leaving functions chains truncated, therefore the task of porting is almost impossible, I will play directly the English version and only replace movies sequences and dialogues translated from the Spanish version.

Thanks for you work

Regards

Couldn't you just translate all the words and phrases yourself if need be?
