I'm almost done with this game and I love it, I have noticed some bugs, crashes, and bad translations though. I am a native English speaker from America, how can I help?

Yes you can help, I will pm you and send you some small files to edit, so you can see if this is something that you want to do.
Also the details about the bugs would be great for me to track them.
Note that there are two bugs İ don't know how to fix, they aren't text related.
1. İs random dialog errors in Reno. With the result to crash the game sometimes.
2. Area 51 entrance to the bunker crash.
But I seen fixes here by other people, also there are workarounds.

Alright, this solves the problem with crashing upon entering Area 51's A5 Hangar. Either a new post should be made in order to compile full mod + translation installations and couple of fixes like this, or update this thread's OP, or make an entirely new thread and have that thread stickied.

Hmm, I don't know if we need any new threads. The game was around for so long and we only encountered these two bugs that are somewhat game breaking. I'm not sure, everyone reports issues here anyway, sometimes issues totally unrelated to the project too, unfortunately.

Yeah, no new threads. But it would be good if you could edit the first post of this thread and put all the relevant links and instructions there, including fixes like this.

Oh, I never thought of that. Will do in the next update, or sooner.

We can just include all the fixes in the translation archive since all the Nevada mod files are in the master.dat FOLDER and not packed in any dat. So whatever we include will just overwrite what's in the russian version from the installer and tada - no more crashes or Reno issues.

We can, that is if @Foxx doesn't mind us including them. Where did the fixes came from anyway?
 
Fixed and edited almost every untranslated and bad dialog that have been reported.
@Navarrrro edits Wind of War. We will post an update when he finishes.
Also I encountered an issue where if I install two translated videos that pop in the beginning of the game with the date and everything, the music of the game disappears somewhere. Anyone knows why that happened?
I think that was the original reason I didn't include those files after V0.11.

Ok, let me know if I can do anything.

As for the bugs, I'm not sure which you are aware of and have already fixed but I can recall a few off the top of my head.

1) At Hawthorne in the Dead City next to the prospector is a robot. It gives Errors when you look at it or use it. Just hovering the cursor over it sometimes gives the message "You can't operate this device in combat!"

2) At Battle Mountain when you talk to Phil to do the Biker's Reno quest, he offers you a ride there and Russian text is in the dialog options.

3) This is probably not something you can fix but in the random encounter called Forgotten Office, on the second floor, if you use the look option (binoculars) on Chris Avellone, the game completely shuts down with no error messages.

There are more I've found but maybe I'll wait until the update to go looking for them since I don't know what's been fixed.
 
Also, I have a question about the game itself. What is needed to craft AP ammo and coin/magnum shotgun slugs and where can I find it? The Russian wiki answered most of my questions but I can't find an answer to this anywhere.

As far as I know, you can ask the repair guy in Reno, or you can steal it in Wind of War.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I have the ammo press. I want to craft AP ammo and special shotgun ammo but so far I've only found one item of Heavy bullets at the repair shop/store in Wind of War that can be used to make coin shotgun shells. They don't seem to get resupplied either. When you get the ammo press in Reno he mentions you can make AP ammo so there must be a way right?

Oh right, you need a piece of junk and 'upgrade' your ammo press on a workbench. Obviously needs sufficient Repair.

Could it be intentional? Like, Chris say something about the game being filled with bugs, I don't know seems pretty funny to me if it is.

Well I took the screenshot at that moment because it was funny, the dialog goes on for a while but yeah, it's pretty funny. It's a random encounter so there's not much reason to bother with it even if it isn't intentional, and I say that because the other game crashing bugs seem to be unfixable at the moment.

Man, how the fuck am I supposed to interact with the stray dog with collar? There's just no possible way from the look of it.

Also, if I go the child after killing the dog and take her collar, the two options are partially translated, still having some Russian on it, and both of them are the exact same sentences.

Any screenshots? Location, or NPC name?
