This is wonderful! How did you create this tool?

I guess isn't working on the other DQ games on NDS like DQMJ and DQ9, but it's technically possible to do a tool for theses games.

Anyway, contragulation again I will try soon!

Version 0.1.0 (Alpha)

This tool can edit the text files found in the three mainline games for the DS. Read the README file for more information.

Make sure to backup your files!

Hey maybe one day this could lead to restoring the cut party chat in the English TL of IV.

@Wildcard42, hey thanks. This tool was created when I was trying to fix the issues with the DQIV Party Chat patch. It's meant to be an additional tool to provide a better party chat or translation. Unfortunately, the other DQ DS games (DQIX, DQMJ, DQMJ2) all use different text formatting. I'll take another look and see if I can get those working.

@Ryab, like @AmandaRose said, the party chat is available through patcher. I hope this editor will supplement their efforts to bring a clean transition moving forward.

I wish someone could add the group chat for the EU version of the game, this tool will come in handy to translate into the different languages available in that version.

The tool is well made but I have some suggestions on some things to change.

1) When you click on the "Text" field, all entries are sorted. The same cannot be said by clicking the "Id" field. Consequently, as it stands now, to reorder the entries as per default, the program must be reopened.

2) By selecting multiple entries and pressing CTRL+C you can copy the text. I would also add the inverse feature, thus allowing the user to paste text with CTRL+V.

3) I would add an option that searches for a certain string among the various entries. It is useful if you search for a specific entry quickly.

4) An option to export/import the text in txt or, even better, csv would be useful. This would allow you to edit the text using other programs, such as Excel, and then import it into the tool and save.

    I wonder if that was the point of game streaming
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But it's a dead end
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    @BigOnYa, i only have like 1 or 2 mb sec

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, ik

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it.
