took three weeks

I had it in three days ^^

 

[RazorX2014]

seems a pretty cool program thanks guys, is there anyway to make vpks that install to other directories or do they all just install to the app folder?

 

[AIDA]

I've finished mapping all the games files and what they contain (finally), so we should be able to churn out a ton more stuff soon. Stay tuned!

Also, if you'd like to help translate, feel free to do so here: https://github.com/Arks-Layer/PSNovaTranslations/tree/master

Although it is also recommended you join the discord on the first page so we can discuss translations, if need be. (And see all the super cool inside stuff and get to test neat things!)

Double post, but it's for a good cause! New test version is out: http://arks-layer.com/vita/Nova_EnglishPatch_9_26_2016_v030.zip

Lots of fixes, lots of new things translated, lots of fun stuff! As before, let me know if you see any strings that are too long, cut off, don't make sense, etc etc etc. Thanks!

@AIDA could you post a lil List of the things that you have Translated so far with a % Number ?

I dont really care about the Story (Since i know all of it already). Since i wanted to wait to play the Game Until its fully playable for me (So that i could get the Platinum in the Game).

PS: Thank you very much for what you and your Team have Done so far! Awesome

How is translation going?? Still working?

A new patch was just released barely 2 days ago, of course they are still working. You should go check out the Discord channel if you want to follow progress, or just wait for patch releases.

 

[liomajor]

There are 6735 textboxes only for the story itself,
currently there are 68 translated.

Menu, Skills, and so on, maybe 80% except descriptions?

You can check github up and help if you want

 

[AIDA]

The gameplay side is coming along very nicely. I'd like the story to go up until the main quests start ASAP, just so everyone has a rough idea of what's going on.

 

[xcore1989]

Thanks AIDA.

We've updated the installation instructions, after some testing. It pertains to running the game with just the base VPK, no update.

If you installed just the base game, no updates, through a VPK file, you will need to update (through a VPK file, google is your friend), THEN drop the CPK into the /app/PCSG00351 folder.

The VPK installed game, by itself, will not work with the english patch. If you have the cart or copy from PSN, you can continue to follow the instructions as they're posted (I have the cart and digital PSN copy myself).

 

[xcore1989]

Will be testing this thoroughly as soon as my 64gb card arrives. Thanks as always AIDA.

 

[enigma85]

Have you looked at subtitling the videos yet? or will those be lower on the priority list?

 

[xcore1989]

In all seriousness if you need help with subtitling let me know i'm trusted status on nyaa.

 

[xsasuke]

So will this be released before 2018? Also can you give us a current patch %

 

[Deathscreton]

Let'em work you guys. It'll get done when it's done.

Chill bruh, it'll be released when it's ready.

The game's translation might take some time.

Before you intend to help and transmit translations, decide if you want to spend time, BUT...
even if your translation is good, they might consider changing it without check.

Not to be a rude douche, but final say pretty much goes to @AIDA Enna and the Main Translators in purple. If they feel it is unnessisary, or don't have the proper context, and are going with the literal traslations until context is made, that is there call. You can make your suggestions via the GitHub, but at the end of the day, they make the final call. You are free to do the compiling and decompiling of the CPKs and do your own translation if you want, it is a "free internet" /shrug

If you have other things to do, just wait until it's someday finished.

Have Fun.
