and there is definatly no text
I know boy

But believe me, some text as the text from the main menu is written into those .tpls. But its too much work since the alpha channel also has to be edited.

@dsfgd
Very nice find

LOL
Of course there are text graphics it´s with EVERY game the same the fonts are graphics too

.

Anyway the problem is still that japanese uses monospace characters (2bytes for every letter and fixed width) and so english words will only fit if we change the text offsets or if you have luck you can use normal characters (1byte).
But it´s still possible like in FF: Dissidia that even if you use normal characters that you have lines between the letters.

So basically, if someone translates everything on the main.dol file, I can just add it to my ISO with Trucha and it should work?

If we could crack this then I guess this would also work for tatsunoko vs capcom? ...and the only thing that needs translating for that is the main menu selction text!

ok guys, has anyone found out how to do this yet?
I am assuming part of the idea was mentioned already, but I am really hoping someone either releases a translated dol or a patch. SOON!!!!!!!!!!

Mh3 is coming out over here. Why would you need a language patch for that?

G, fair enough. It might already have a translation done due to the fact it was on other platforms.

So has anyone tried playing the game with at least a few translations they've made to see if it actually works? I don't wanna rush anyone of course to waste their blank DVDs.

Try it yourself it´s totally easy even a llittle child could do it
wink.gif

Open the main.dol (best with MadEdit) and then search after the japanese text or "Wii" you will find it. But as long as you can´t change the textoffsets this is crap.
If you are lucky you can uses normal characters instead of Monospace but even then the text most likely doesn´t fit.

PS: Tatsunoko and so are totally different games and uses other files for the text (It´s not always in the main.dol) Biohazard 0 and Donkey Kong Jungel Beat for example have the text in bmg files.

@nIxx: Nah, I never said that nor I have been working with IDA Pro xD (sadly)
I hope someone manages to create a program to extract the strings from the main.dol and put them in again like for MHP2G ^^
@Omgwtfisthat: Maybe later. It is for MHG.
@jservs: Jup, a few screenshots can be found here: http://www.imagebanana.com/gallery/view/vrdoa88/
Sorry for the bad quality though. UVS always giving me crap-quality screens. If anyone knows another program that can take screens from a video source immediatley, tell me ^^
