uhmmm...excuese me...is there any possibilities that i can have a multiplayer Wi-Fi game using an emulator in my computer with some other freaks in their computer??

No but you could always play in a Ragnarok Online server... i mean... whats the point on playing it on an emulator while the game is way inferior to its computer version? the portable version is for portable fun =P is great for a ds game... but being in a computer is kinda pointless...

I think you should include my shitty tutorial on the first page Twiz.

I starting to wonder of I shall try to translate the whole main story as it seams there will be no English version of Ro ds and im sure im not only wanting to be able to play the game with a full translate on the main story. But man it will take time and my japanes is rusty and I even don´t know how to make a translate from the game never done it before.

ahh I tught they only planed on items and the small things because the whole main story is a big hehe but I will se how much I can help.Items and stuff is all translated, working on getting the story and quest scripts translated.
Also trying to find where the text for the Log window is as well as translating graphics at this point.
If you're interested in translating, sign up for a GoogleDocs account and send me a PM with the email you used.
I will add you to the pages for the story / quest scripts.

Hi! I dont know if i can use PM to report a bug, but i cant find other way to report. Sorry if my english is too bad

PMs are fine, I prefer people PMing me bugs rather than posting so that I can keep track of all the bugs reported and organize them by Active/Fixed status.

There is a bug in prontera quest called "Knight member's request": when i accept this quest and leave the pub, the NDS screen put black and i have to reboot.
Thanks for the translation

Fixed in the 2009-02-12 patch.

How far along is the translation? I always check the first post to see the completion percentage, but it hasn't been updated for quite some time.

Main story wise, no further. We have more quests taken care of though. The teams dwindled to only a very small handful of "regular" workers and some who are still coming by when they can. And most of our resources have been diverted else where. Andy's been working on new editing tools as well as his own RL project for his University, and I've been pulling out all the graphics to and working with Twiz on getting getting them all english-ified. (which, aside from the new game buttons, I think we got them all finally.. and we're closing in on those thanks to Andy's help and breakthroughs.) And Twiz has been running around fixing all the bugs people report here as well as trying to polish up/fix some of the wifi menus (and yes.. his obsession with the utility.bin file.) Hopefully as all these "side-but-necessary projects" are wrapping up focus will move back towards getting some more of the script translated. Big thanks to Waka for gettin the latest batch of quest scripts made though! I finally had something to edit

 

[kwan]

man thx a bunch for the translation, its great with some added humour which i personally love!
anyway keep up the good work and everyone here is with u =DDD

Wow, you guys are really patient! If I were you, I would have already yelled at all the idiots that ask "SO HAO FAR ALONG IS ITTTT?" in every single goddamn page.

 

[FencingFoxFTW]

is the new patch really only 402kb?

Yep!
Thanks to Andy Jayne's new tool, NitroPE, our patches are MUCH smaller and doesn't change the GameID.

I just read a PM that asks several good questions that I have not addressed and feel would benefit everyone.

On The Character Lucif(whatever) his name is still in kanji on everything except when
someone says his name I just thought i should tell you that.Non-Player-Picked names (i.e. Lucifi, Viselic, Lisir) that do not appear in the chat window/quest info will remain in Japanese until we find the location they are stored in.
We can change the names in the chat, logs and quest info because they appear there directly. I believe that their names are stored in a file somewhere, it's just a matter of finding them.
Thinking about some of the tools we have and their functions, I do not believe it will be too hard to do, but I will need someone like Artlan or AndyJayne or DarthNemesis to help me as I do not know how to use many of the programs to a fraction of their potential.

I also found someone in the prontera item shop that speaks in kanji still.I'm not sure why the scripts for these people have not been translated. I would guess that they were never extracted to text format.
Either that or they are part of the Quest Scripts that we are in the process of working on.
Our goal from the start is as near 100% complete translation, and it still is. If it can be translated, we hope to have it done.

I was also curious if maybe I just set up my emulator wrong but my lifebars and the lifebars of my teammates and even of the monsters is black.....is this normal?Is the black bars for health normal? Yes and No.
No, it's not normal for the game.
Yes, it is normal for the emulator.
My guess would be its an issue with the layer order rather than a limitation of the emulator itself as this same problem happens to some SNES games running on emulators too.

TwiztidGodIn Conclusion Keep up the good work im really enjoying this translation since RO is like my favorite game...xP
And I Dont See how people are having game crashes because i have played through to the end of the translation at geffen bridge and I havent crashed or errored at all. So if there is anything I can do to help just give me the word.

Hopefully all the crashing is fixed... but I doubt it.
I fixed a few items and a quest that had been causing crashes in the 2009-02-10 patch, and a few more in the 2009-02-10.
Since everyone's play through will be slightly different (different items obtained at different points), the best way for us to test our patches is to release them to the public. We have tools to help us minimize crashes like Artlan's Script Ginsu which loads up the text file and parses it in a similar fashion to the game (breaks the lines up and indents at
while making a new 'line' at , drops the various tags, converts tags to the 8 character maximum, etc, etc) to allow us to have a guesstimation of where any problems may be... but even now we are still learning about how the game works.
The last quest that crashed the game was checked at least twice to make sure it would fit the 24 character line limits, but still crashed due to what I would guess would be it's pixel length.

Oh and for curiosity reasons I wanted to ask how often do you guys release updates is it like weekly or something just curious thank you for your time in reading this

Ideally, we'll have a new patch Friday Night and Sunday Night.
However, realistically, there is no defined schedule.
Two patches a week would give us the full week and full weekend to work on the project and release a patch.
But not all of our work lately has been patch-worthy as it's been a lot of digging around and trying things out.
It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to release a patch just because we've changed a few pixels or replaced a word.
That said, if a crash is brought to our attention and we're not fully ready to release a patch, we'll usually make one with all of our current work because fixing the crash warrants the creation of an updated patch.

thx keep up the great work i play until the parts i dont understand xD

I found a black screen bug on my r4 from the latest patch when entering the third section of the mine.

Need to be a little more specific.
What quest are you on?
Where does it happen? 3rd level of the mines?
Does it happen as soon as you map change?
Upload your save file to [http://www.mediafire.com]MediaFire[/url] and then send me a link in private message and I'll test it out.

 

[thebuster2005]

ok, i'm totally tripped out. I don't know how to put cheats on my supercard. I'll add my steps on putting cheats on my supercard in this reply and can some1 pls pls tell me what i do wrong!!!

Step1: I downloaded usercheats2dats program to separate all cheats into multiple dat cheats and then i downloaded dats2scc program to change dat cheats to scc.
Step2: I downloaded USRCHEATs dat and use usercheat2dats to seperate all cheats from each other.
Step3: I picked the dat file YRBJ 9BDEC8F6.cht (its the code for ragnarok online (J)) and rename it to YRBJ 78E0757A.cht because some1 in this post said to change GameID and so i did.
Step4: I used dats2scc to change YRBJ 78E0757A.cht to YRBJ 78E0757A.scc
Step5: I put the YRBJ 78E0757A.scc to my supercard cheat files and played it but it just ran in its normal way, there was no cheats pop out so i started agian from step 4 renaming the YRBJ 78E0757A.cht into YRBJ_78e0757a.cht and made it YRBJ_78e0757a.scc but also didn't work.

So i renamed it again to 3161.cht and made it to 3161.scc but also did not work

PLEASE!!! any1 help an idiot cheater

like me make RO cheats appear in my ds screen when i play the game...... srry again and thx for patching the game.... Best of Luck
