Translation SD Gundam G Generation Overworld english translation

[akanerin7]

That .zip I uploaded has nearly all the attack textures where higher resolution is available, grouped by units (up to destiny anyway) and even attacks (the directory and file naming convention might get a bit of time to get used to).

World only has higher resolution map sprites, it uses the same quality textures for attacks as Overworld
Here are the higher resolution map sprites from World:

god thanks looks like i have to get back on modding again, funny i though i will never do it again beside that hi danikk how about you think that XI Gundam texture? should i rescale all of it like that? looks blurry though but sharper and better than PPSSPP internal rescale feature.

Overall I don't think that simply resizing the games own texture really provides much improvement in quality, but if you use a higher resolution base, significant improvement can be achieved. I know that this texture replacement would be quite work intense, as what needs to be done is

• dump the texture you want to improve
• find the higher resolution version in the dumps I uploaded
• Due to PPSSPP limits the original OW texture needs to be resized to 1024*1024, and the HQ Wars texture to 768*768
• At these resolutions the actual images are the exact same size, and the wars textures, and the texutres can be replaced.

This will yield much sharper and detailed textures than just resizing the Overworld textures.

Here is a bit of help on how the Wars directory structure is made up (makes it easier to search)

example directory name: 0001_mat3_b1v1c1_Z (game's own dir structure)
lets break it up:

• 0001: internal unit number foes up to above 0900, the units are mostly in the same order as in game (wars). In OW many units moved to Extra or game category, they are usually found after their logical block
• mat3: can be mat1 or mat3 (mat2 only used in Spirits). mat1 for animations far from the enemy (most shooting weapons), mat3 for animations that happen when the enemy is on the screen (melee attacks). not 100% consistent
• b1: goes from b1 to b6, the attacks number for the unit (E.g. b1=beam saber b2=vulcan b3=beam rifle etc.). most of the time the same as the order in game, but not always.
• v1: attack version, if there are special variant of an attack (e.g. a cutin) it will be v2
• c1: attack scene, longer attacks are broken up into multiple scenes Wars supports up to 3 scenes (OW up to 6)
• Z: can be a few things at the end of the name:Z, ah, am, an, bh, bm
  • Z:no idea
  • ah, bh: animation for an attack hitting, sometimes there is an alternate variant, which gets the bh
  • am,bm: same as above, but when the attack misses (usually beam saber attacks)
  • an: when the hit and miss is the same animation

hope this was somewhat informative.

thx a lot, phew d*mn 1,9gb my traffic are burn, i hope getting time to polish my fav unit texture too.

damn those shield xD can't wait for full hq replacement or i just have to do it by myself?, tested working with slight lag with my 512 Vram but lazy texture caching help me a lot for adressing. they use box-uv mapping? i notice by this Blue Destiny's shield they are different and much more bigger(and more cool of course lol) anyway i don't use any scaling just 3x PSP Resolution and nearest texture/screen.

I do want to work on it, once I have some time freed up.

They switched up the Blue Destiny Unit 02 and 03 designs with each other between Wars and World, I believe the old version was incorrect. The Blue destiny's were quite a troublesome bunch to work with.

yeah i see that, hi danikk could you upload wars texture.zip to another hosting? mega seems hating me lately -,-. and proper replacement would 1024*1024 like you suggest but im sure it can be pushed more to add some scaling effect on it (either Bicubic / Nearest) since replacer act like rescaler feature on-fly(most likely same performance impact between this two feature -,- )
edit : forget about reupload danikk lately i fix up my connection, anyway i allready finishing some units sprites(1024*1024 / 512*512 depending on performance impact), want to check it out? i will post cloud folder here to be uploaded on there later(i hope this help you).

 

[akanerin7]

danikk could you check this one?i usually will post some stuff there and polished version for the unit who doesn't have replacement texture.
here: W.I.P Texture Port
also take the dev version i see some huge performance speedup from newer one.
Currently Done: Ground Gundam Type (Maps sprite are polished to 512*512 not just 128*128)
Next: XI Gundam (Proper Polished), DX Gundam (Proper Polished)

They work perfectly, and both the sprite and attack animation looks much better than before.
I have opened a private thread to continue this conversation, as we are kind of hijacking this one right now.

 

[Twilightwing]

wait I heard you can play this on the vita, pls tell me of this grand magic

Anyone?

 

[BetaXenon]

Anyone?

This is no Grand Magic

Q: Help, I'm playing the Vita and it won't work!
A: If you're using the Vita you'll need to use ARK Firmware for the internal PSP rather than Adrenaline.

 

[sensirou]

Does this patch work with cheat ?. I tried to to use cheat code from cwcheat but it didnt work

 

[BetaXenon]

Does this patch work with cheat ?

At least on PSP it's works with CWCheat. Should be fine with PC emulator too.
I tried only cheats for "all units can use master skills" and "unit exp x4".

 

[SkylordAndy]

So this is entirely translated then? Thats cool! Can i download it to my vita? Ah, wait, so i can. Whats ARK firmware though? Is it the thing that allows the emulator to run?

 

[leon2110]

can someone help me? i'm using adrenaline in vita to playing this, but after created a save file the game just showing blackscreen

 

[BetaXenon]

i'm using adrenaline

There is many issues with emulation through this firmware apparently. Either use ARK ePSP or play on PC through PPSSPP emulator.

 

[leon2110]

okay thanks bro

Quick bug report to make! I wasn't able to get a screenshot unfortunately. When Merrybell Gadget appears in World Tour stage C-5 (as the second secret), her dialogue box instantly closes with no text.

I move HQ texture to NPJH50681, then load the game but my ppsspp like freeze and the game isn't loaded. can you tell me the right way to replace the texture? {replace texture checked in dev tool)

Due to the way PPSSPP handles custom textures, when the files are present the game will freeze for about 15-30 seconds (I noticed a huge performance improvement for this in PPSSPP 1.4) when starting , or when you change the resolution (as the emulator reads through the textures.ini file to see which textures need replacing). Try waiting a little, and see if the game starts eventually.
I think you probably did install the textures properly, because if they would be in the wrong place, the game would just start normally without loading the custom textures.
