I am playing the game with the latest patch. I really enjoy it ! Thanks a lot !
I did not notice any major bugs.


What I think is most important to translate now:

- Rules: Important to understand what they are. Note: If someone can explain me what are the different rules and what they are used for that would be great !

- Wi-Fi: When connected, some menus are missing.

- Crests: it is good to know what we have acomplished


The storyline scripts is long and quite difficult to translate, and is not necessary to play the game.
So I suggest to translate this only if everything else has been translated

First off, let me say I really appreciate all the work everyone is putting into this, Culdcept is a guilty pleasure of mine, and since there don't seem to be any plans for an official translation, this is fantastic work by all involved.

Second, and trust me, I understand I am fairly retarded when it comes to any sort of code or anything, I need help applying the patch. I've attempted with my minimal knowledge, using the help in the first post, and I cannot figure it out.

I know this is asking a lot of someone, but if anyone could help give me step by step instructions (and act like you're talking to someone with very little to zero code knowledge) I would be extremely appreciative. If you would like to post them here, or email them to me, either would be fantastic.

My email is [email protected]

Like I said, I know it's asking a lot, and making me look stupider than I already feel, however I just can't seem to figure the whole mess out on my own.

Thanks so much for your time.

That's part of one.

I know people keep asking this, but I honestly can't figure out how to patch this game using xdelta. Is it compatible with Vista?

 

[Sasha77]

I don't have any knowledge in romhacking , I am not a genius, but I could apply the x delta patch.
I tried to use the Gui , but it did not work, so I downloaded xdelta3.0u.x86-32.exe from Theli's link and put it in the same directory as the rom and the patch.

Then you Choose Start / Run
You type cmd and press enter to access the DOS mode.

You go in the directory where your rom and patch are stored.
Then you enter

xdelta3.0u.x86-32.exe -d -s Nameoftherom.nds nameoftheCuldcept_patch.xdelta3 Culdcept_EN.nds

Then it 's done

small status update...
i can now read (and partly write) much of Culdcept's graphics ... (including manual pages)
ans such things as intro movie

which in fact is just a slideshow with subtitles (also as images)

(screen from emu)


i haven't found shrines' effects text yet

 

[theli]

another instructions for patching

extract contents of latest patch archive and http://omploader.org/vMWl2cw/patch.rar
to some directory
so that contents of that directory look like this:

culdcept_eng.xdelta3
Drop Rom Here.bat
xdelta3.exe

and then just drop rom on "Drop Rom Here.bat" file

 

[VDias]

Thank you very much for helping in how to patch the game

Here is a dump of pictures which need translation (including manual)
you can translate and post pictures here for inclusion...
example:




and we need to decide which font to use

 

[powser]

Hi, I would like to help a little with the storcy script, in the instructions:

Be sure to check if translated text fits into ingame dialog UI if possible. (and split to several lines accordingly)

Is there some sort of line length I should adhere to?


I may sound too n00b to help, but I would like to try nevertheless.
I've already translated a few strings...

 

[multiboy2k]

Awesome progress!
Steady and consistent. Keep up the great work guys!

no, sorry
font hasn't been found and latin part of font has variable length.
but it wouldn't be hard to replay story mode once script is translated and fix text breaks accordingly
(story mode is rather short)

This game is based off the original Culdcept for Sega Saturn. Culdcept Expansion is also based off of the original Culdcept. Here is a link to FAQ written by Gene that translates all of the cards in that game and other parts of the game. All of the cards, maps, and characters from Culdcept Expansion appear in Culdcept DS.
