[Kelebek]

I only had the ones ArasKarasu linked.

I only had the ones ArasKarasu linked.

Yeah I thought so, I think LoliRam has only worked in the BOOST folder and there's only 7 files. (he might be able to correct me on this)
Though they large and very important ones though (menus, names, etc)

 

[ArasKarasu]

Thanks for your hard work and helping intention everyone! ^^
But JC200X already have it done, so the temporary help is closed

 

[Weyu]

To be honest I spotted this earlier when checking Karasu's scripts and I did have to read it twice.
Before I even saw DeviFoxx's translation I had 理由を聞かせてもらえますか。 as "Let's hear your reasons?"
(Though partly for space concerns as you can see from the screens)

Now personally I prefer translation over localisation, but it is something that will need to be considered

Hyuga is a ladies' man and talks like a gentleman, and I felt that translation is too direct for him, at least it doesn't really capture his personality.
I would've probably done something like "could you explain your presence here?" or along those lines, since he's using a semi passive aggressive form phrased as a question rather than a command.

 

[JamRules]

Nice alternative but there's not really any room (as the screenshot in the topic post shows)

 

[Weyu]

Yeah I see. I suppose it would mess things up if you inserted another window?

Techincally might be possible but I have no idea how.
I don't think even the proper release bothered to do that for 2

Damn! I missed the call to arms! Oh well ;_;

What, you can do that? Unless I'm misunderstanding, it doesn't seem that easy to add your own content.

It's more of a pipe dream really but I figure I would give it a shot :/
Based on the little I know so far about the DLC for the game I don't think it will be possible but! It might be possible to edit something already in the game. No idea really since I have been a bit busy.

Fate, you know exactly what I would like in exchange for translating the hell out of this game.

I have no idea what you're talking about

 

[sweetrialgo]

I'm not particularly useful but I just wanted to express my appreciation to all of you working hard on this!

[LoliRam]

Not with that attitude they don't.

Anyways, let's keep this about progress, eh?

I'm about 1/4 of the way-ish done with window text. Considering theres 3600 entries, I think I'm coming along alright for being a mild slacker lol.

 

[Swing]

Hahaha sorry lil blue pills in combination with something super secret that you want hella bad will make you say anything =P

To clarify because I'm not sure if it's been mentioned but the window text file holds a lot of important data like nearly all the menu text

 

[fate6]

bump-o-glory!

So how have things been progressing? Any and all updates no matter how small are always welcome ^__^

 

[JamRules]

One main thing left to do are to adjust the file location pointers (these are encrypted, might asm hack that out) so that files can be larger than the originals.

Another main thing is to write reconstruction for weapon/items names since these use indexed text, already written the extractor so this is easy.

For those interested the text is made with 3 parts

• 2 byte pointers to the start of the strings indices (uses next pointer to find length)
• Table of 1 byte indices
• Character table (256 chars - currently doesn't include alphabet so Japanese names will break, not really a problem though)

Basically anything but the weapon/item names is replaceable.

Here some very rough initial examples, a lot will be re-done for the proper release.
