Adds professional quality English subtitles to Shadow of Chernobyl based on the game’s Ukrainian version.
English Subtitles for Ukrainian adds subtitles for all in-game speech and cutscenes in Shadow of Chernobyl. All subtitles are in English and are intended for use with the game’s Ukrainian audio.
The mod is based on In Game CC and Subtitles by ·f·i· csoport with numerous tweaks: improved readability, colorization depending on faction, subtitles for Sidorovich’s PDA tutorial, subtitles for cutscenes and fixes related to incorrect audio timing in the Ukrainian localization. Some fixes from the original not related to audio or subtitles, as well as closed captions, have been removed.
This subtitle system is used in Serbian and Belarusian localizations of Shadow of Chernobyl.
Before installing
An unmodified version of Shadow of Chernobyl is required (version 1.0006).
Change the game language to Ukrainian, which the English subtitles are based on. The process depends on where you've acquired the game:
- Steam: follow this guide (⤵ Changing the language of individual games)
- GOG Galaxy: in the game directory, open settings.exe and change the language to Russian, then download gamedata.dbu, which will add phrases in Ukrainian.
- Other: download gamedata.dbu, which will add phrases in Ukrainian. Note that Ukrainian audio may, during gameplay, be mixed with English/other languages if you have an international game copy. An edition that contains the Russian language is preferable.
The subtitles will work with other languages, albeit not synchronized with the audio.
Installation
- Open the game directory. Depending on your client:
- Steam: in the Library, right-click on the game and click on Manage → Browse Local Files
- GOG Galaxy: in the Library, right-click on the game and click on Manage installation → Show folder
- Copy the gamedata folder from the archive to the game directory. If you downloaded the gamedata.dbu file earlier, copy it to the game directory as well.
That’s it. Good hunting, stalker!
If you need ukrainian voiceover for additional russian speaking untranslated NPCs, so it will be released soon when it will be done.
Who is doing the new voices?
Me+neuro stuff.
So I guess this mod isn't compatible with ZRP? I tried installing it after ZRP and the game crashes when starting a new game. A shame cause I've been looking for a mod that does this for a while lol. Is it possible to make an ZRP compatible version? ZRP is basically required to play SoC for me.
A ZRP patch for the original In Game CC and Subtitles mod was made and shared on Reddit:
Reddit.com
I could make a patch after some time. If you're eager and willing to learn, you could do it yourself:
1. Download a file comparison program, such as WinMerge
2. Compare the patch on the above link with the In Game CC and Subtitles mod (https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker/addons/in-game-cc-and-subtitles-1-00)
3. Carry over those differences to this mod, English Subtitles for Ukrainian.
If you decide to mod yourself, I wish you all the best.
Game doesn't launch when i put the gamedata.dbu file in the game directory folder.
