ROM Hack Summon Night Swordcraft Story: Beginnings Stone

[Pablitox]

As mentioned my changes affect all types of text equally. It's about the same limit.
Yeah, VWF would need to tackle the areas I avoided. So I won't be the one doing it, nether it think it is really needed, for me 36 char per line is a good number.
I think the strings like weapon material can be solved using the 24x12 bitmap trick we used previously. When We have the insertion tool working I'll take a look a that again.
It is not like we have more space, it is still 36 per line, it is more like we are able to pack our text better.

Thank you Earth! That's nice to hear. So the next step is get that insertion tool working properly, so the proofreaded text can be inserted. I say it's a good idea!

Hey, I also just wanted to pop in and say thanks as well, for everything you guys have been doing. It's been a really long time since this project started, and it's truly an amazing feat that you guys have managed to stick with it for so long, not to mention all the work that went into it. The dedication you guys have had to the project has really been something else. I'm sure all of us who have been watching this project are incredibly appreciative of it.

P.S. As a programmer it's still really impressive to me how low-level and assembly programmers are able to think of these outside-the-box solutions to problems, so that ASCII fix is something I really respect.

Thanks a lot for all the time and effort you have put into this, guys. I just recently became aware of the Summon Night series and, after breezing thru the first two, I really wanted to try the third installment, since the whole franchise is quickly becoming a favorite of mine.

Now, I'm sorry if this is sounding rude or impolite (I assure you that's not my intention and is far from what I want, but I guess it came come across like that -in which case, I'm very sorry-) but I saw that the links on the first page are no longer working... are there plans to get them back up? I'd really like to try this game out and it seems as though you guys have really nailed the translation, so it would be a shame not to try it myself.

Again, thank you very much for working so hard bringing the game to the English-speaking word. Extremely appreciated

PS: I'm not sure if I would be able to help much (Japanese ain't exactly my thing) but I'd be interested in giving a hand, even if by only making people aware of the patch

If you are looking for the latest patch file (which is not the final one) the mediafire link on the first page still works.

 

[Tsukuyomi]

Thanks, man. It finally worked!

That's so weird, though... it kept giving me error and deleted messages.

Wouldn't be the first time MF has pulled that trick on me, though haha.

Hello everyone! A few updates from our current programmer, @EarthDarkness :

After figuring out what changes I made to ritchburn's tools to patch and add support to ascii I decided It's better to send you a patch with the ascii table already created and a single function instead.

Patch has been updated on the first post. Fews word of advice: The scripts for day 0 do not reflect the current state of the art translation. I used the ones I had with me.

For now this is the fun stuff, now onto the script inserter:

-No more <colon>,<swung_dash>,<greater_than>,etc...
All ascii characters from 32 to 175 included are directly supported and don't need tags. that includes numbers as well.

-The only text tags are the name variables and 2 wide symbols (three dots, heart, black dot, music note, left arrow)

-The variable tags need to be aligned to 2 wide so the text: "Ab <player_name>" has length 4+player_name_max_length (when we add the tag to "Ab " we need to pad it to "Ab "<with 2 spaces> to be able to add the tag). This does not happen with the other tags.

-The tag <center> will be used to center text of all kinds.

-The scripts that have the tags are still supported since I wrote a simple text swapper to change them to the characters.

-As I said I do support the extended ascii chars up to 175. That said I did not create the font for them. If someone what to create it I can add it later, but I'm not using my time to make.

A bug of the script inserter will be corrected:

Well I found out half the problem with the script 1834d0c.

The rundor name is wrong. That text is the same for every partner. There is a weird fork that just sets the summon portrait and that is unexpected for my code (I guess... I don't remember exactly how I did the logic but I don't remember planning for this).

Apart from that there is a huge chunk of the script that was not exported, but up until that point all text is properly exported with the wrong partner name.

The tools inside the drive folder will be updated to add ASCII support. Once it's ready I'll post for everyone to use/try.

That's all for now!!

Cheers!

Wow, that's quite something.

When he says "The scripts that have the tags are still supported since I wrote a simple text swapper to change them to the characters.", and considering you already updated the patch, I assume that means even with the changes most progress won't be lost, correct?

Also, does that mean that any non-alphanumeric symbol had to be done with a tag before? Damn...

 

[Tsukuyomi]

I was just able to try out the translation on the first post (before the latest update was added).

A tip of hat to you, guys. This is brilliant

 

[Zoske]

how do i use the pacht with the visualboy?

 

[Mylon_The_Cat]

How do I use the patch with Visual Boy Advance?

You'd need to install the patch to the original Japanese version of the game, using something like NUPS or XDelta.
We do not support downloading the rom, though, as that is illegal.

Edit: Also fixed your post.
