Nice to see that the OP did come back after so long, but a little disappointed that the translation was dropped. Maybe someone with the needed skills/know-how can finish the project for the Spice and Wolf fans out there (myself included!)

I'm pretty sure you are only allowed to view the first page and change the rest of the sheets. I tested it in the incognito mode without a problem.

I might be wrong, so please try out other sheets and add some kind of "translation". Thanks for the interest!

Translated some but not much. Best to have an English speaking native to check/edit those lines.

I'm busy with my current project but I'll try to spare some time for this.

Edit: So, I did up till 350. Will try to do 380 once I'm done with my other stuff.
I'm curious if you have improved the tool.

I already uploaded a few files, I will upload the rest today and tomorrow. Thank you for your interest!

Adan, I missed your comments in the project itself, so I will respond to them here, if you don't mind. The "Chief" part was from the original translation. You are free to suggest other translation in the row next to it and I will use it. As for the format error, if you mean it being split as it is, it might be by design or the tool exported it wrong. I will investigate it when debugging the "final" translation. Thank you very much!

Alright. I think I'm falling asleep. That's all from me for now.

It's hard to type in google sheet, so I will type it here.
Yes, I'm aware that for a VN sort of game, there's likely to have more stuff left to be translated. Did have a go at translating some files last year but I got demotivated easily back then, doing it alone. :X.

Been busy the last 2 days. I've to do some work on my current project (rechecking ~400 pages of lines) .

Will probably continue the translation on this one, few hours later.

It's not so great. I really wonder if they were limited by the engine or something or if it was just time constraints, because the script is a mess. Plenty of the text is repeated, some stuff that could have been easily just one string with a variable is a hard coded string million times over and over. Makes working with it real pain. Especially when some of the text is duplicated for some stupid reason. I feel like I wasted some of you time Adan, I'm really sorry. I just don't think I have the time to playtest and babysit every string so you don't end up translating something that is translated somewhere else.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
