Hacking Legend of Heroes Translation

[flame1234]

OK, I got the magic inserter kinda sorta working. Link to pics. More pics. It doesn't appear that the inserter is messing up - it appears that move names or descriptions are too long.

Code link

1. Get the tool here (pastebin).
2. Prepare your input files:
2a. Rename your t_magic._dt as t_magic.orig.
2b. Go here (Google sheets) and copy into your spreadsheet program.
2c. Delete the first line (header) and the Japanese column.
2d. Save the file in CSV format as magic.data. Use SHIFT-JIS encoding and the tab delimiter. Save the file in the same directory as the original source data from (2a).
3. Run the program using python. I named mine ZnKmagicinsert.py but you can name it whatever you like (no arguments).
3a. Description of program operation: creates the t_magic._dt file, using both the original source data and the translations file, that's suitable for insertion into the game.
4. Open \data\cclm\system\sysstart.bcc using your hex editor. Zero out the rows corresponding to the file you're looking to insert and then save the file. You only need to do this once.
5a. When the program runs, it tells you the size of the output (in hex).
5b. Open \USRDIR\data.lst with your hex editor. Find the value 0xF64A (original size of t_magic._dt, 0x4AF6 or 19190 bytes, but with the bytes reversed per little-endian format).
5c. Replace that value with the new size in hex. Remember to reverse the bytes.
5d. Save the file.
6. Insert the files using UMDgen and save your image. Enjoy!

Imgur isn't working now, so I've uploaded the images here.

It seems that heavy edits will be needed.

 

[zero_g_monkey]

Yeah. Heavy edits and gonna have to work on some custom tiles in the font. That is what I am looking into how to do as I type this. Gonna be a new experience editing this kind of font.

 

[zero_g_monkey]

So for about a week or two now, I have been searching for something in the game. The file to edit the Crossbell City map. Well out of sheer dumb luck and the discovery of misc hidden text in other folders... I finally found it. Apparently those names at the end of the dialog files are what controls the names on that map. By that logic, I don't think it is out of the question for inanimate objects to be named there too. Been taking a crap-ton of screenshots while walking around the town. Hoping to come across that SE.... whatever one. I am betting it really is either control or command or something along those lines.

 

[xrainex]

oh wow those ability descriptions will need some serious editing...and it doesn't look like there's much room unless you cut down drastically on the descriptions...

oh and zero, I'm going to take a wild guess here at that SE thing.... because it has "control"... maybe it refers to the elevators in the geofront area... there are a couple of elevators there...maybe check there?

 

[Guren no heya kara]

Yep, I guess we'll have to do without those elaborated descriptions
and find something more direct and standardised. A real pity.
Unless we can find a way for reducing the font by half and cram double the characters in there.

 

[zero_g_monkey]

About the font. How pissed would people be if say.... I was to make another one? It is definitely an idea but not one I am gonna tackle at this moment. Still haven't ironed out the details of what color is what in the editor.

---raine
Will definitely look into that. Just got past the part where Lloyd meets the kitty on the roof, does some talking to his partners and is sent out into the city to, I guess, do some exploring.


Edited part:
Do the PSP emus use an internal font or the one in the game? I am having a hard time telling if the changes I have made trying to find a source for a new "space" option to remedy the line break problem with some of the menus when using the standard 0x20 instead of 0x8140.

 

[zero_g_monkey]

Hate to double post. But would hate to start another topic even more. So here it goes. Trying to find some information about eboots. Below is a post of the eboot header information from jpcsp. Been trying to make sure nothing is missed and get around some stuff that I haven't figured out where the pointers originate from. The stuff is broken into what I call a simple table, then ones that are absolutely not so easy (but I am sure they are a table because editing them, triggers the exact point to break the game where intended to test for change. Like moving the pointer over to see if second letter in word will be the first type thing but it crashes the game.) Keep in mind, I do not do MIPS or very much programming in general. I can understand a few things but examples work better than just words (unless those words are in layman terms.) If somebody could explain what some of these things do, I would be eternally grateful.

If you open the decrypted eboot. Look at these addresses to see what I am wondering mostly about.
Table starts at 0x025A560
Dialog stuff goes like:
0x264104 CHARACTER...
0x264130 VISUAL....
0x264158 MOVIE...
0x26417C EVENT....

The reason I believe this is the pointer table for this section is 1) after editing it, it screws the game up 2) after counting out the number of pointers, it matches up to the number of dialog pieces 3) it is surrounded by the table for the dialog before and after it.

I will work on the NPC names inserter tool next. I think this will be a good one. There are 316 script files. It takes too long to manually update the data.lst after it runs (tells the program how much data is in each file), so the tool will need to do this task also.

The NPC names are at the end of the script files. This is an easier problem, because the last thing in the script files that is pointed to (anywhere within the script file) is the filename near the end. This is then followed by all the NPC names. So even if we change the length of the NPC names, no one cares, because all of the jump targets in the script files are sequentially before the NPC names. Therefore, the change in length won't affect the jump targets within the script files.
For changing the rest of the dialogue, we have to know where the jumps are, so we can update the targets they point to as needed.

Tool 1: MC1 overwriter
In the \data\cclm\map4 folder, deletes all *.bin lines from all *.mc1 files (300+ of them).
Because you don't want to have to do that manually.
1. Put your MC1 files in a folder and rename them *.mc1.orig
2. Run program
3. Insert with UMDgen and you're good!
3a. OK, this step is a little hard because UMDgen's interface is not great. I extracted the entire contents of the cclm folder, updated the *.mc1 files, and then put everything back.
-------------------
Tool 2: NPC name inserter
1. Rename your *.bin files (scripts) as *.orig.
2. Put data.lst in that folder and name it data.orig.
3. Prepare your input:
3a. Go here and copy into your spreadsheet program. Delete the header and all columns except the one with the English translation.
3b. Save in CSV format as npcs.data.
4. Run program (no arguments).
5. Insert *.bin files (not 00sys or temp) using UMDgen and enjoy.

Just gonna say I won't be posting as much new info here as before. I will still swing by for updating but gonna to not spam the board with project discussions. Feel free to swing by either the new website (still under construction) or forum (going in full force but you have to register). Links are in the signature.

 

[GHANMI]

Project discussions aren't spam
It's a heaven of romhacking information, and a treat to read.
By all means, feel free to post anything here. I'll be sure to check the new forum too
(Isn't it too early for a website? You could simply have a blog up)

 

[flame1234]

How do admins here feel about spamming? Like for example #209 above (by me).
1. I am going to make a tool.
2. Edited the post to say that I made the tool, info, etc... <- Since there was no activity between those times. Should I have made a new post?
That's considered spam if I double post, correct?

Double posting is what's not allowed, I think... but editing your existing post is. Don't know whether mods tolerate double posts if you go over the technically possible post letter limit though (it's very big, so no worries)
And I don't see how a post with useful, relevant to the discussion info, can be considered spam, unless it's bizarro dimension.

I had actually tried setting up a blog and it really didn't suit my needs. With a website I can put up stuff like tools and info about other stuff. I have plans for making pages about using certain tools and games that are easily hackable for people who are interested in doing something, if nothing else but screwing around with text. The forum thing though is basically for having some hidden discussion about stuff. I can say that anything that is important, information wise, will be posted here and on the website. Flame and me are finding some really good information about Falcom games but we haven't sorted out all the details. So unless you have been privy to our pms, it probably wouldn't make a whole lot of sense.

It's also nice to take a break from talking Zero no Kiseki and just share other interests.

 

[Guren no heya kara]

Book 2 finished, Book 3 started.

 

[zero_g_monkey]

Nice work Guren. You ever get that confirmation email for the other forum?

 

[Guren no heya kara]

Never.
Probably I did something wrong (it was pretty late...so maybe I typed the email address wrong...lol).
I'll re-register now.

Edit: yep, something did go wrong the first time. Now I'm in.

 

[zero_g_monkey]

Cool. It took me a few tries to get it going. Got you set to use the project threads. If you can't see it, just let me know.

 

[zero_g_monkey]

Updated staff, added a new Dark Doctor Glen books rip and posted a few help wanted requests.

 

[flame1234]

Need some programming help.

First: Is there some programming vocab I need to know re: keeping straight the pointer address (where is the pointer) and the address the pointer is pointing to (target address)?

In python:
I have two lists (same length) and I need to iterate them simultaneously.
One list has name replacement data
The other list has pointer addresses, either zero (no pointer) or the address of where the pointer is.
So I was wondering if I can or should use the python zip function to do this.

So it goes:

pos = Get the first name position
for zip(names,pointeraddresses):
->update the pointer(pointeraddress,pos)
->update the output string(name)
->update the current file position(pos,len(name))

And that will do the job. Is this how you're supposed to use zip?

Never mind, looks like that's the answer exactly:
