ROM Hack [Partial Patch] NEWLOVEPLUS+ English Translation

[Dgrin]

So we've now completed the LP>NLP+ integration, 161 out of the 577 total of the NLP+ scripts. these files will now need to be verified & checked, word wrapped before they are ever to be used in a patch, so anyone up for this task should contact me for material and details.

I've also added detailed guides about translating, graphic editing, verifying & checking scripts and created a very informative 'file guide log' mentioning everything that we have come to discovered about this game during the hacking, LP>NLP+ integrating, modding, unpacking, patching, patch testing process that hopefully will help with taking this translation further.

Anyone interested feel free to pm me for further information if needed.

I have a gateway and rxtools running on emunand 10.7 with sysnand 9.2, How do i get this translated game working on my new3dsxl?

I also got ntr installed as cia.

I know right, they could also release a traditional patch, for the rom and cia.

 

[Dgrin]

Different type of patches will be released when more of this is complete...

 

[Dgrin]

A new beta-testing patch version has been added, both NTR & HANS. Patch files are under process and meant for personal use/beta-testing, please do not mirror, upload or pass around a patched rom version that might cause a lot of problems for us and confusion for users, thank you.

Hello Dgrin.

Thank you very much for translate this wonderful game.
I have few questions:
- Can you done a little tutorial for the patch? How do we do for apply these? What are the difference between ntr and hans? Is it ok with a cia of the game?
-The patch are for New love plus or New love plus + or both?

Thanks for your answers.

What are the difference between ntr and hans? Is it ok with a cia of the game?
-The patch are for New love plus or New love plus + or both?

The beta-patches are for the 「NEWラブプラス＋」 game (the scripts can be reformatted to work with 'New Love Plus' but it's a different task for a later time), both files come with instructions, if you're unfamiliar with the 3DS HAX scene then the easiest to install would be the HANS patch, it should be possible to rebuild a CIA for the game by replacing the original with the NTR patch files.

Oh this game... (∩˃o˂∩)♡

Hey, I can help you edit the images if you send me every .png you can find.

 

[Melon__Bread]

A new patch version has been added, both NTR & HANS.

Call me a dummy but for ntr what does the game folder name need to be called on the root of the SD? (the folder you extract the scripts folder to)

 

[Dgrin]

Yuuyuun, thank you for offering to help, I'll contact you personally with details.

Melon__Bread it's in the 'info' file, it should be:

'NLP+/script/bin/script/*.dbin2'
'plugin/00040000000F4E00/layeredfs.plg'

 

[cg75]

It works fine for me with reinand,ntr cia and new love plus+cia.
But the menus aren't translated.

For the first time we must use the third option on the main menu for install pre confession mode.

 

[Melon__Bread]

Melon__Bread it's in the 'info' file, it should be:

I am sorry it just said:

COPY FOLDER(S) TO THE ROOT OF SD CARD, FOR THE TRANSLATION IT SHOULD BE '(GAME NAME)\script\bin\script'

I had no clue how your translation wanted the game name to be abbreviated as. Thanks for the response

 

[Something whatever]

Random question but do you know if someone made this into a cia yet?

 

[tomx86]

Nice, with the NTR patch, better solution then HANS imo.

 

[Dgrin]

cg75 we've located most of the graphics and have found a method to edit them but there are a few hacking/tool issues as mentioned in the first post, waiting for someone to step in and find a solution before we can make them actually run in the game.

Melon__Bread oh no need to apologize, it was actually my fault cause I notice you own an earlier version where I didn't make the instructions clear enough...

Something whatever sorry we won't be adding a CIA but you can patch a CIA with the patch files, anyone interested can contact me for guidance with the game files.

tomx86 glad you enjoy it, we started with HANS cause there are a lot of LovePlus fans in the forums who are unfamiliar with the hacking scene so it was just a bit easier to explain and assist on how to install a vanilla hax like homemenuhax/themehax through browserhax...

set a camp here. this is going to be great. have been waiting this for long time. let's wait until it completed .

 

[Dgrin]

I've now added the project's credits at the first post of this thread, thank you everyone!
If you've participated in this project and do not see your name there please PM me to correct this.

Well we may still not have any active translators ATM to help with the translation of the rest of the 'NEW' scripts and are also in need of some tools to solve some hacking problems that are holding this project back from going any further but here are a few things to look forward for the next patch: Incolbum is currently proofreading, improving and making corrections to the already translated scripts so if you're a first-timer with this game you might want to wait before you play this patch to avoid bumping into any spelling, grammar, script misplacement or other type of errors that might have occurred during the integration. We are also currently mapping out all the graphic files that need our attention, eyenight is translating some of their text while Yuuyuun is editing the graphic files with the translation, the graphic files are quite a lot so we need people with some basic Japanese skills to atleast get a Japanese text output from each graphic file faster to make the task easier for the translator.
If you'd be interested to offer your services to help us finish these particular tasks any sooner post here or contact me personally.

[1] A LIST OF THE PROBLEMS WE ARE ENCOUNTERING

1. Img.bin file:
A repacker/injector wouldn't really be a hard thing to make, however with an injector, if the injected files don't match it would have to repack anyways.

2. code.bin file:
Not really sure what you're expecting to be able to "extract" from this, as it's not an archive. A cursory glance at it, there's both UTF-8 and SJIS encoded text in the data section. You're more or less going to have to go through it by manually looking for text in both encodings and write the offsets down, and look for pointers/pointer tables.

3. Textresource_resident_jpn.trb:
as far as 2009 DS game's arm9.bin goes, goto the offsets on the notes page listed and look at the text, "unpacking" the text from there is more or less the same deal as with the code.bin for the 3ds game.

However, there is a structure to the .trb files in romfs:\SystemData\TextResource (with the exception of textresource_config.trb), and an unpacker/repacker could be built for them. I'm seriously laughing at the banned word list.

4. Missing Script Files:
There are some text files inside the img.bin,I believe they're .trb files. randomly sampling, I found "ワギナ" and "だいそんちゃん"(what a coincidence). Will take another crack at the img.bin later.

We'll have a grammatical / spelling error report page up soon. Any errors encountered or any non-fluid sentences you'd like to correct should land on there. It'll my my job hell of a lot easier.
