ROM Hack How to i manipulate game script?

[ComicMaster148]

I want to translate a game but from what i have heard you need to manipulate a games script I have the file but the progams I have used dont work.(HXD and Kuriimu)

HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Yeah. You will need to learn to hack. It is broadly similar for all systems.

I should also note that some pokemon hackers refer to script editing/scripting as in "scripted events" like a NPC moving somewhere. Most other hackers will know a game's script as the text it holds.

Game developers can write a game in a million different ways, and they usually do it differently to other games. To that end if you want to play hacker with a new and unknown game then you have to know enough to figure out how they did what they did and change it.
No program is going to be made that handles every case, indeed making a program someone else can customise enough to make it work for a new game ends up almost being a programming language unto itself (see something like atlas and cartographer).

Occasionally for these newer systems you get lucky and developers will reuse something seen before which offers a small shortcut but you are still going to have to get your hands dirty in the end.
