ROM Hack Ragnarok online DS translation project

|WickeD&#12 · Dec 29, 2008

I seem to get random black screens from the build I compiled. Tried with both version of txt files. Both load fine let me create a char but then goto black screens with music (not looping but actualy playing) and cant continue from there. If i use a save file from the original and start up my lvl7 char in town works fine but will get black screens loading in and out of menu's.

I use a ezflash4 lite, and used DSlazy, 0.3b of RagnarokTrans and followed the readme included with it.

Not sure if its something I am doing or my hardware, but I would like to play with this.

Just stop playing and wait, because you're gonna get a shitload of crashes with these translated files.

You do realize that the reason we haven't released a patch and told everyone to get it isn't because we like making people wait, right?

C'Mon people, Stop asking for release dates and complaining that it's not done.

These people are working hard on this project, and doing a Great Job.

Quick Question. I have been compiling my own changes based on you guys' awesome updates on the Wiki and things have been working very well except for one very interesting issue. Whenever I open up the Card screen I can view all the cards and their stats just fine, but when I leave the card menu I lock up at a black screen. Anyone have any idea what may be causing this? It doesn't seem like an issue with the msg_card file since I can view all the cards without locking up, its only when I leave the card menu screen.

Malgamus · Dec 29, 2008

Sounds like one of the descriptions is too long or not formatted right. Locking at a black screen is what normally happens with things crashing the game in the menu. Try checking the cards 1 by 1 until you find the one(s) causing the issue.

Seraphim521 · Dec 29, 2008

The only problem with that is that it does not lock up when you select a card. As I mentioned, I can select all of my cards and read all of their descriptions without locking up. Its when I actually leave the menu that the game gets stuck at a black screen.

This is why we suggest people DO NOT USE OUR FILES TO MAKE A BUILD!
We will not stop you from doing it, but if YOU choose to do so this is what you can expect.

Now with that being said, if you HONESTLY feel you can put in the time and effort and would like to become an official tester, send me a PM.
(Please note: Aside from the responsibility of reporting bugs and problems through the 'official channels' (read: GoogleDocs, not forum), there is no real difference in being an official tester. All the files we have are publicly displayed for everyone to see. Testers will have to make their own builds just as everyone else. I am not asking for volunteers, nor should you volunteer if you have any doubts about your commitment.)

While I cannot be 100% sure, I am doubtful that the msg_cards.txt file is whats causing the lockups.
There were some changes made recently but they were very minor and as far as I know the message length was not altered.
I will make note of it and check the card file again later today.

I understand you don't suggest people use your stuff for a build and expect it to work. I have not pulled your translations off the site, applied them to my game and gone "OMGWTFBBQ WHY THEEZ NOT WERK!?!?!" I understand there are many kinks that need to be worked out, that is fine. I simply asked a question of anyone who has had experience that may have some insight as to this issue since it seems to be a special case. If all you translators who are working super hard getting this game presentable are annoyed with questions like mine than I suggest just not to answer. I'd be completely fine with just being ignored by you all while you continue to work on the game, no sweat. But there may be someone out there who has worked with patching stuff like this who doesn't mind throwing an idea or two my way. If would be more acceptable to post bugs like this on the Spreadsheet as well I will do that but I will probably still post the question here for the offchance that someone may have seen this issue before me and know what to do.

As twiz said, the chances are that it's one or more of the card descriptions or names being too long so when you've viewed it and leave the menu it crashes. If you can find out which card it is that's causing the problem it would help, we have tested all of them between us but sometimes minor changes aren't tested for one reason or another and then they end up being found later.

Bug reports are appreciated if you're using the Wiki files, btw, as long as you can provide enough information to know how to find/replicate it. Also if anyone still wants to help the team as a translator, hacker or tester then PM twiztidsinz.

As for the people having problems with the patch, there is no point in discussing these here.

Edit: I know the cause of the problem may sound odd but it's a recurring problem.

braggy · Dec 30, 2008

well if its not the msg_card, it should be the item db thats causing the problem... it hasn't been finalised so therefore will have problems

Hey just wanted to say thanks to the translation team for putting in all your efforts on making the translation! I know it's not easy (well, i don't think it is...) and personally, i wouldn't want to be "working" on a holiday... But you guys still do, so big hug and big thanks!

i bow down to you guys, simply 'cuz i know how hard and is, and you're almost done!

thanks again, and happy new year!

braggy · Dec 31, 2008

Happy New Year once again.
