[Deleted member 323844]

@stranno , you could even record our play if you want?

Yes, sure, I'll PM you.

Btw: I'm at stage 55 I still think it is way too easy on default dificulty

I downloaded the patch and the readme has google drive links for the second half of the patch and the optional patch. However, when I go to those links, the link for the second half of the patch says the file does not exist and the link for the optional patch says "Sorry, unable to open the file at this time."

Hmmm, seems true. For now, the links on the first post should work.

Hello everyone, I was wondering if any of you would like to play the game online as a group this week end?

The save files are separated for story and online, which means we could all start from scratch and do beginners missions at first?

@stranno , you could even record our play if you want?

Please let me know, and we could exchange friends codes here.

Have a nice Friday.

I would like to join but can you tell me how can I patch the game

Good morning,

I just tried the download links, and as far as I'm concerned they work: they do tell you they can't open and must be downloaded instead, but that's due to Google Drive limitation, since the website can't preview files of a certain size.

My advice is to choose to download, as Google suggests you to do, and it should be fine.

Please put a screenshot of the error message online if you keep having problems.

Have a nice day.

EDIT : Weirdly, it seems that the links work on Word, but get broken when the readme is converted to PDF (despite looking identical)?

Anyway, below are the links for your convenience:

You need to download Wit at the following address https://wit.wiimm.de/

Once you have, follow the steps to extract your iso, replace your files with the ones provided in the patch (be careful with the folders' names), then recreate a new iso with "copy", and that's all!

Please remember that to play online, you have to patch this new iso with the Internet patch provided by dragging it to "network patch.bat".

Every step is explained in the readme, please post screenshots here if you meet any issue.

I finished the game yesterday and I have enjoyed it. As Brand said, it's basically Earth Defense Force (I'd say it is based on the Global Defense Force engine) with a medieval/mythological twist, set on a war between humans, gods and giants, or something like that

Graphics are pretty cool, it is a big improvement over the EDF Playstation 2 games (I have finished both) on characters, generic soldiers and enemies, scenarios are also quite cool, but there are very few of them (like in every EDF game). Ingame cutscenes are very well done, considering the engine. The gameplay is FANTASTIC, nothing to do with the crappy controls of Monster Attack / Global Defense Force. Motion Plus enhancements are very well done and its a pleasure to rush through the battlefield severing arms and legs from gigants (which is very necessary if you want to craft anything).

The biggest difference with EDF series is that you craft weapons, instead of randonmly obtain them from enemies. There are many classes, a vast number of weapons and most of them are pretty cool to use.

My biggest complain is that the game is way too easy on default difficulty, except two or three of the last levels. Global Defense Force is MUCH harder on Easy/Normal. In fact, I barely could beat the Mega-Godzilla boss on easy difficulty, when I completed the game years ago. It was absolutely insane.

Here's the online session Brand and I had yesterday. Excuse the lack of chat communication from my side but in-game chat is a bit cumbersome and takes a bit of getting used to, we also talked through Discord.

Online is pretty smooth, but they're just the single player battles, without NPCs and some weird physics

Thank you for your video and for playing with me, @stranno

I must say I forced myself to use online messages so they would appear in your vid, but using modern social media is far much better nowadays!

Everybody, please forgive me for being so bad at the game, but I had forgotten how tricky low-level weapons were, and the online mode is totally separated from the story mode in terms of levels and crafting, which means I had gotten used to overpowered weapons and had to come back!

Anyway, I expect some playthrough to be on the Internet very soon!

On another subject, my next project is a Wiiware, so the patching instructions will be a bit different.

It’s still very early, but the game seems to have silly humor in it (which I’ll try to adapt my best, considering the limited amount of characters I’ll have).

I’ll leave you with an example and a screenshot to guess… Let’s meet again in a few months!


Screenshot:

Japanese dialog:

“じゃ、あんたはただの暴徒じゃない！”

(“Then you’re just a mob!”)

(暴徒 for “boto” = ”mob”)

“…な、何言ってやがる！ 俺はボートでもヨットでもねェ！”

(“What do you mean? I’m not -on- a boat or a yacht!”)

(ボート for “bōto” = “boat”)


Translation:

“Then you’re just a mob!”

“… What do you mean? You take me for a broom!”

Hello everyone,

I found the reason why the video download links were broken: apparently they didn't convert correctly when I transformed the "doc" readme into a pdf file, due to the fact that they were two-lines long.

So I reduced the size of the font for the links to fit on a single line, and updated the readme in the patch.

It should be shortly available at Romhacking.net, but in the meantime the links I provided here, or under the Youtube video description, can be used.

Sorry about that, I'll be careful about two-lines links next time!

 

[wiiAdventurer]

OMG. I am pretty sure I know those cherry blossoms. I'm sooo excited!!

That little blurb definitely gives the impression it will be a challenge to translate. Best of luck and thanks!

 

[Deleted member 323844]

First of the two-parts Zangeki no Reginleiv playthrough. The second part seems to have some problems getting the final quality, so I'm waiting to make it public.

Excited for Line Attack as well, looks amazing.

Hello and welcome,

Do you have the iso and the Wimms tools? (available for download here https://wit.wiimm.de/)

I've provided a tutorial with screenshots in the "readme", please try this and come back to us in case of any difficulty.

Have a nice day.

Hello everyone,

Like some of you had it guessed already, my next project will be a Wiiware!

So, I've created a new thread which you can check at the following address:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/line-attack-heroes-english-translation-for-wii.586680/



As you can see, it's going very well so far, but I'll probably hit a wall with some names and sentences that will have to be heavily rephrased... well anyway, enjoy this first glimpse for the time being, everybody has a nice WE.

This is a phenomenal job you have done, Brand Newman. Thanks a ton, to you and Kaiser_Gummi. Everything works really well and it is astounding to see the results of your extremely impressive skills. Implementation is seamless, text on all screens look great, and the quality of absolutely everything is simply gorgeous. The "readme" very accurately and clearly explains how to implement the patches, and the layout even of that is really cool.

The only feedback I have to offer is a counter-criticism to some remarks earlier in this thread: please ignore anyone saying to alter or remove the version information and credits on the game's title screen. You deserve credit for doing all this work and the added information on the title screen is reasonably placed and, in my opinion, nothing that needs to be changed. It's good to go.

I'd seen one previous attempt to translate this game and while good in its own right this is the best one. Thank you so much again for your work on this game.

Thank you very much, I'm glad people appreciate my work, and that these "semi obscure" games (but is Zangeki that obscure after all?) get the second chance they deserve!

About the version information, I'd say it serves the purpose of making people know whether they use the latest version of the patch or not : while I try to release a very polished version from the first attempt, sometimes people will discover a minor issue or (even worse) a freeze or some Japanese left untranslated.

So that's the main reason I leave a version number I can increase whenever necessary

Thank you again for your encouragement, next project is on its way!

Have a nice evening.

The files are located in the data folder. Seems to me you used a wbfs that had the Wii iOS information dumped, but you won't need it anyway (from what I understand, the update was to make sure the games would work on an outdated Wii, but it mainly caused soft modded Wiis to go back to their original state, or worse, get bricked)

Hello Brand,

I am trying to patch a game to play via loader. Do I have to replace content of network folder? Network folder is in SD Card/REGIN_eng folder but there is nothing about that folder in Read me.

 

[gummby8]

Awesome job!

 

[Brand Newman]

Hello Brand,

I am trying to patch a game to play via loader. Do I have to replace content of network folder? Network folder is in SD Card/REGIN_eng folder but there is nothing about that folder in Read me.

Hello,

The Network folder basically contains all the "online" part (messages, mission descriptions, menus, font, etc.)

It is not mandatory in the way that people who don't intend to play online can do the story mode without it, but I advise you to replace all the folders with their translated counterparts nevertheless.

You see, even if these are online missions, you can still play them solo (assuming you've patched the iso with the "wifi menu patch kit" enclosed first), so not translating / playing that part is like missing half the game!

Hope I could be helpful. Good night!
