Yes well aware of the Front mission series, that's what got me into SRPGs in the first place. I'm rather annoyed that i cant find a decent 3DS emulator as the Fire Emblem series (though not mecha) are great games. I'll look into a few of your suggestions. Just really wanna get my Mech on atm, just finished watching Gundam 00 and Aldnoah Zero so yea feeling the mech madness atm and to be honest i dont wanna pick up G Gundam un til this project is done.

It will had better optimization but i think not in near future(still drooling for N3DSXL mohun edition:gun:).
FYI maybe you didn't know there are i think pretty good kickstart(i hope it deliver what they invission it)mecha game called dual gear for pc and it had demo on steam for first impression all i can it was pretty neat.
A bit out of topic but i recommended you should dig more niche/less popular mecha anime(ie: Knight of Sidonia, Break Blade movie, older Macross series), there was pretty good one out there imo.

I want to know if all of you decent professional people that are making this translation if it is possible to add characters or mobile suits to the current game? like from g generation series if it doesnt break the game like having size limits for example, but only editing the files.

I'm afraid adding new units to the game is impossible, for multiple reasons.
For one we can't modify the size of the file that has the list of units in the game.
An other problem would be, that we can't see the original file structure, only extension less ID files (which are in completely random order).
Third, I have no idea how the game connects the various parts of the units data (name, sprites, attack animations).

Theoretically adding a unit in in place of an already existing unit might be possible, at least if it has simillar animations to an already existing unit.

Hi, only registered to thank everyone who are/have been working on this project, your dedication and talent is amazing and I can't wait to see the final release of the translation patch!

I also wanted to make sure everyone had heard the good news, SD Gundam G Generation Genesis for the PS4 and PS Vita will be getting an English release in Asia.

Source: https://www.facebook.com/bandainamc...41828.348224975309619/783350008463778/?type=3

This also means that if we're really lucky, this will get an official release in North America and maybe even Europe.

Either way, it's as far as I know the first SD Gundam G Generation title to receive an official English localization.

If we talking about kickstarter, then there is new Battletech game coming in couple of years.
There is also quite interesting Gundam-esque (at least in gameplay) action game available in early access. Project Nimbus. Plot kinda 'meh', but i lol'ed from Char Aznable references.

I know what you all at least some of you working hard, but can you give as new estimated date of release, please?
I wanted to insert photo of waiting Hatiko here, but it's seems that "spoiler" tag here didn't work and i don't want to constantly force you to use more traffic.

Unfortunately no. Our last estimates were for around December of 2015, and look how that turned out.

Just checked out the latest youtube video and everything is looking great !

Seems like the team is back at a nice pace again ^_^"

Anyhow, keep up the great work everyone.

Looking forward to the winter progress report of this hack !

In case anyone wondering here are the video's




The video showcases a new breakthrough in the HQ Graphics pack which allowed me to fix the broken thread animation of the Guntank, there are possibly other broken 2 frame animations in the game that will be fixable with this method.

edit:
Here is an other comparison on Corin's Kapol, where the drill now spins durning the cutin. The difference is much more visible here than on the guntank

Original:

New:

Ha ha, I remember getting so into upgrading units that I would usually miss out on seeing all of a mobile suits attack animations ^_^"

But like I said, this is looking really good !!

Also, looking forward to seeing everyone's username hacked into the game credits.

Anyone noticed that Quattro Bajeena (AKA Char, Casval Zum Deikun) name in SD Gundam G Generation F for psone is spelled crudely wrong that it could almost make you laugh?

Care to elaborate?
Well, in SD Gundam G Generation F, while i was in stage, Riders in the skies, i was reenacing the scene where Quattro was fighting against haman in the salamis wreckage, i notice that Quattro's last name was spelled wrong and the word that they (the developers of the game) mispelled bajeena with (Female Reproductive Organ), which i find it funny and disappointing, but it would be a good idea to translate since it follows the series/manga's script.

Ah, you meen Quattro Vageena. It's actually sound nearer to original than Bageena.

Well, when i lissten Chinese, every fourth word sound like russian swearing.

Holy God! @danikk !
You managed to fix the Sunrise's original animation bug of the game!?
You are truly Godsent.
Very good job!

PS. I'm still failed to notice the Guntank fixed animation, where is it?

-- Edited --
Ah, I see. Is it that moving/not-moving tractor wheel of the Guntank?

Yes, it is. That is why I posted the Corin"s Kapol as well, since the difference on the guntank is a bit difficult to see due to all the shaking.

For anyone interested, here is what causes the bug, and how I found, and fixed it:

First, a few weeks ago I managed to restore the original file structure for the attack animations, so now I see the animations grouped by unit instead of completely randomly.
Then I started to check the units in order to see if everything is replaced as should, and that the animations play properly in game (searching for bugs caused by the texture patch). Since I'm looking trough all the animations, I started recording and uploading them too here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqaKP88vhg_U2MgZcbnC0155t6CosKTeY
When I got to the Guntank, I have noticed, that the textures have multiple phases for the thread/tractor wheel of the guntank, yet in game it just stays still. After a bit of thinking, I realized what could probably cause the issue (and later confirmed it too):
Originally the game's engine was created for the PS2 (SD Gundam G Generation Spirits was the first game to use this engine I believe). On this system the games run at 60 fps, and the units attack animation description files describe the animation for every single frame, at this speed, and the animation goes like this:

Code:
Show thread Frame A
Hide thread Frame B
Render Frame (Frame A is visible)
Hide thread Frame A
Show thread Frame B
Render Frame (Frame B is visible)
Show thread Frame A
Hide thread Frame B
Render Frame (Frame A is visible)
Hide thread Frame A
Show thread Frame B
Render Frame (Frame B is visible)
Show thread Frame A
Hide thread Frame B
Render Frame (Frame A is visible)

On the PSP however the game only runs at 30 fps, essentially skipping every 2nd frame in the animation, which results in this:

Code:
Show thread Frame A
Hide thread Frame B
Render Frame (Frame A is visible)
Hide thread Frame A
Show thread Frame B
Skip frame rendering
Show thread Frame A
Hide thread Frame B
Render Frame (Frame A is visible)
Hide thread Frame A
Show thread Frame B
Skip frame rendering
Show thread Frame A
Hide thread Frame B
Render Frame (Frame A is visible)

After realizing this I have started looking through the animation description file for the guntank's body looking for any rapidly changing values, and did found the visibility switches for the two thread frames being turned on and off every frame. Finally I changed the values, so every thread frame would be visible for two frames instead of one (effectively halving the animation speed), so it would work like this:

Code:
Show thread Frame A
Hide thread Frame B
Render Frame (Frame A is visible)
Show thread Frame A
Hide thread Frame B
Skip frame rendering
Hide thread Frame A
Show thread Frame B
Render Frame (Frame B is visible)
Hide thread Frame A
Show thread Frame B
skip frame rendering
Show thread Frame A
Hide thread Frame B
Render Frame (Frame A is visible)

Then I checked the animation in game, and was happy because the Guntank started rolling.
