Translation SD Gundam G Generation Overworld english translation

I was actually wishing to find BGM files as an AT3 extension so i could modify it like Gundam Battle Universe™, In which in my opinion is the best game on PSP™.

I was wondering if we could get BGM tracks from the game, also is it possible if you can put a sub beneath the battle sequence? Just asking.

I found that the music files are scattered among the id files which have the translatable texts, the audio files seem to all start with "RIFF" and are in atrac format. I converted them to mp3 and uploaded them to here (I kept the original filenames): https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2zyknu4nb5lji17/AABBQiFSa3Z5rTuP_g55W0jPa?dl=0
If you need the original files I can upload them as well. Besides music these files also contain the mission title announcements.

I also found (converted and uploaded) the video files as well, they start with "PSMF" and seem to be in h264 format, though i'm not sure if its correct. The video files either have no audio on them, or at least I couldn't find it (I also couldn't find them among the ripped audio files).

The video files either have no audio on them, or at least I couldn't find it (I also couldn't find them among the ripped audio files).

I wouldn't be surprised if the audio is called from some other file(s), because that seems to be a common feature of the game's programming. It's caused us some headaches, because the game pulls the dialogue from one file and character names from another, so it's very difficult to know who is speaking to who without A) playing through the level or B) watching a playthough of a level on Youtube... and that's not too helpful when this game loves throwing in minor characters or characters we've never seen before.

 

[Yuu Ho]

If this is possible, hope someone could change the F90 Def Stallion Theme song.

I was actually wishing to find BGM files as an AT3 extension so i could modify it like Gundam Battle Universe™, In which in my opinion is the best game on PSP™.

The games music is in AT3 it's just missing the extension.
I figured out how to modify the game's music (If you are translating most of the steps are the same):
1. Get the DATAUMD.CPK out of the iso, its in the \PSP_GAME\USRDIR\ directory, you can do this wit any iso editing program (check step 8.)
2. Unpack DATAUMD.CPK with CRIPackedFileMaker (I'm not sure where exactly I found the correct version, so I uploaded a copy to where I put the music files)
3. You should get about 12896 files named "ID#####", some of these are the game's music files (and some the texts that are being translated), you can check my upload for the exact filenames for music, and the first post for text
4. Find the music you want to replace
5. Get the new music and convert it to atrac (this is where I failed, and I can only replace one music with an other from overworld around the game's own music files, presumably other psp game music will work too)
6. Replace the ID file containing the old music with the new file (make sure that it has no extension)
7. Repack the DATAUMD.CPK with the tool you can find on the first page of this thread (post#8)
8. Put back the new DATAUMD.CPK into the iso (remember to make a backup first). I used WinISO for this, you can download the old 5.3 version for free from their website (http://www.winiso.com/download.html)
9. Launch the game and hope it works

Since most of the steps are the same I hope this list will make it easier for new translators to get the started as well.

edit: I nearly forgot, the exast size limitation does not apply, the new music can be bigger than the old one

You've done very great jobs and make a very useful progression for this project, @danikk.
Very nicely done! Thanks a lot for your help.

Anyway, I have come to inform that I have just sign up for the wikia here.
http://ggenoverworld.wikia.com/wiki/GGenOverworld_Wiki

And I have just corrected some mistakes on Generation Break 1 of C-6 mission by changing the name Hilling -> Revive.
And I also adjusted the headings of that page to make it more easier to navigate.
It's good that we can edit the wikia so we can update any outdated information.
Blessings.

So... who broke the Wikia? Cause it's all kinds of F'ed up right now.

If you mean the first wikia here,
http://www.ggenoverworld.com/index.php?title=Main_Page
then I wonder that myself.
Because I thought that my internet service or my office policy broke that from me.
Let's ask @danikk if he know anything about the wikia's problem.

As for me, I only sign up and edited this second wikia,
http://ggenoverworld.wikia.com/wiki/GGenOverworld_Wiki

 

[danikk]

I have no idea what happened to the wiki, according to the main page's history it wasn't edited since 2012, and as far as I know the whole wiki is read-only anyway.

Okay. Thanks for answering.
Is it possible that the site is expired or something?
Hope it works again soon.

Anyway, @danikk , do you know where the texts on the weapon cards like "Consumed EN" (消費EN) are located?
Here is the example image from @CrashmanX .

We can't seem to find it so far.
Even though we use the searching function of Total Commander, we don't seem to find it.
Any idea?

Sorry, I can't find it either.

Hi everyone,

I've made some search about the ggenoverworld.com wiki, and it seems that the bug which appears few days ago is because of a Perl changes which result into a MediaWiki (the solution used to offers the g gen overworld wiki) crash... This bug is resolved but it need a MediaWiki update and if we don't have the full access of the server which is running the wiki we can't do this update and i think this wiki is definitely dead... If someone have access can contact me, i'm a computer engineer and i'm able to restore this wiki. Or if someone have a similar wiki address i could create a new one (with some new fonctions )

 

[CleanSweep]

It's probably easier to use the Internet Archive to salvage the information from the old wiki than it is to fix it.

 

[blackmario62]

The ggenoverworld.com wiki is UP

 

[PiQue_MajorCooke]

The ggenoverworld.com wiki is UP

That's a good news.

Moreover, I have added a new link to the "Gameplay Mechanics" on the main page of this wikia at the bottom-right menu.
http://ggenoverworld.wikia.com/wiki/GGenOverworld_Wiki

And, thankfully, I can also edit and adjust the description on Gameplay Mechanics here
because they shared the same account server. Yey!

Any updates to the translation?

 

[CrashmanX]

Most of the work that's happening is behind the scenes currently. However I do believe progress has been made on a few of the stages.

 

[AdanK85]

Not much from my end. Still in holiday mood after finishing my last exam 2 days ago lolz (I got a lot of pent up "desires" for gaming that needs to be vent out). Will start working on the remainders this weekend ~

 

[PiQue_MajorCooke]

Right now @AdanK85 have finished translating all up to the end of Overworld Final.

Only Rank-A stages left unfinished.

But this is just translation. Not yet include edition to make the line fit in the game.

 

[Fon Spaak]

I like that the translation project is going great for y'all in my opinion.
