Hacking Configurator for Configurable USB Loader

[wiixale]

OK, this is a slight problem. If you check the Configurator itself, you'll note it's meant to be a "a # in the console", but you physically can't translate that due to the commenting system. I'll add some sort of escape character to the next version to allow for this.

I imagined the "# in the console" was referring to the rest of the phrase, but I didn't know how to pass the commenting system.
"#" means "number", doesn't it? If yes, we can use the whole word (number).

Not really. The thing is that Cfg actually uses a hash character "#" as a mark against the affected games. You could use the word for hash, whatever that is, but I should have a fix released in the next version that will allow you to add the # character to strings.

Understood.

But I'm wondering: actually can we translate the phrase using quotes ("") surrounding the #-symbol or there's no compatibility with them?

EDIT: I overcame the problem.

Another question I was forgotting: in the last versions there is the "Global Options 4" tab, but in the configurator.cdb file I cannot find the relative line to translate.
I tried adding a "TabConfig4" line with the label, but it didn't work. What can I do?

No, quotes won't work. For the new version, I've implemented a system using % as an escape char. Thus you can use %# to get a # to appear in your translation. %\, %| and %% will also work.

EDIT: Okay, I thought it was valid also for the 52.3. Sorry.

Thaaaaaaaaaanks so much!

EDIT: even in this new release of the samples there's not a "Global Options 4" label. Maybe it's me who doesn't see it?

Check the "Fixed in 52.1" comment. I forgot to mention it when I added it and left it out until then. In any case, it would have been easy to guess what I called it

Great Tool Doc!

I've a feature request:
A search function in favorite and option wizard would be great.

Thanks for your great work on Configurator and CFG Loader,
WiiNero

 

[wiixale]

I've a feature request:
A search function in favorite and option wizard would be great.

The "option wizard" can be substituted by the great guide Dr Clipper wrote here.

What do you mean for "search function"?

@Dr. Clipper: thanks for help, I looked for "global options 4".

v52.5 of Configurator is out

download here

Changes:

• Option changes to match v52b4 of Cfg

Translators: Sample CDBs were updated (only one addition).


As for a search function, you can click the title column header and the games will sort by title. That should be enough...

 

[wiixale]

Dr. Clipper, I noticed that the option added (Games are installed to /wbfs/Title [GAMEID].wbfs ) is set as

GO_fat_install_dir_3

while it should be

GO_fat_install_dir_rad3


I changed it and all went fine.
It's just a remark.

P.S. Sorry for the delay, I'm trying to speed up the translation-writing time.

 

[Dr. Clipper]

Thanks for the note. sample_cdbs.zip is fixed.

 

[wiixale]

Italian translation for Configurator is now done.

The translation is ready for the 52.5 version of the Configurator.

I hope Italian people contact me if they find out mistakes and/or mispells.
Here's the link at google docs.
It's a zip file with all the CDBs.

Tell me if you want the package into another format.

You can find 'em even in "Languages" thread.

v52.6 of Configurator is out

download here

Just something I forgot to add a few versions ago...

Changes:

• Added Title [ID].wbfs/Title [ID].iso formats when reading game folders for games

No translation changes necessary.

 

[Dr. Clipper]

v53 of Configurator is out

Download here or use online update (via Actions menu)

Changes:

• Added 224-mload choice to ios option

No translation changes necessary.

 

[Dr. Clipper]

v53.1 of Configurator is out

Download here or use online update (via Actions menu)

Changes:

• Changed URL defaults to match 53b
• Added unifont.dat generation to install wizard.
  
  Note: the unifont.dat font is best when its height is 16. It also might take a few minutes to generate if you turn on the extended option (which will generate almost every Unicode character).

Sample cdbs have been updated.

 

[wiixale]

Dr. Clipper, I noticed right now I have a problem.

With the previous translation, I didn't notice that a button wasn't translated. But the problem is that this button is repeated in 2 tabs: into one it's translated, in the other not.

I'm talking about the ButtonManageProfGS and ButtonManageProfGO strings (under the "New in 49.4" section).
The first (the one in the Game Settings tab) is translated, but the other not.

I rechecked the code, and I think it's right, so what could it be?

P.S. Is it possible to create a folder into which we can save the language CDBs? It should be less confusing to manage 'em.

when I tried to update online, I get the following error, what do I need to do to have it update online? thanks

Are you sure that the "Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll" file is in the directory with the Configurator EXE?
