Greetings Everyone..
Note : If you have nothing useful or informative to post, please do not post at all, i do not want to dig through thousands of posts to find the informative and useful replies and i really do not want to push away potential contributors because this becomes yet another troll infested, flame filled, argumentative and circular mess of useless rubish that barely has one post per page that pertains to the threads intent.
Firstly i really want to work on translating a couple of games this includes The Last Story.
I have been a programmer for my entire life and my entire career has pertained to that.
But I personally do not know any language other than British English, American English and Bad English.
I am aware lots of work had already been done on this and other games and is spread out all over the internet with no real organization.
There exists out there to my knowledge lots of useful data including but not limited to
partial text and voice translations.
images, screenshots and videos of translated text and subtitles.
tools for extracting files.
file format explanations.
translation tools.
tutorials for translating other games.
translated textures
leaked tools from game studios
What i need is a group of people willing to do and delegate work, spread out the work in a balanced and comfortable way
The i am talking about includes but is not limited to compiling the data mentioned above.
Also and just as important is
keeping a forum, post, topic or private website up to date.
maintaining communications between team members.
maintaining communications between with the end user community.
maintaining an online presence of our translations allowing the community to error check those translations and offer possible alternative translations.
I have plenty of skill when it comes to making tools, utilities and games
My last few jobs have been working at game studios as a senior game engine developer
Also i have reverse engineered a lot of games before
To give you a little insight into my abilities i worked on these and more
Ascent WoW server emulator
CellAO Anarchy online server emulator
Anarchy Online network packet sniffer and data overlay system
Mu Online razer packet hack tools
eve online server emulator
Additionally i worked on many commercial games at a bunch of studios and a couple of CG movie projects over the years
I will not list here for the time being but i am sure later we can expose my online resume and imdb pages
I have written code for the wii and modified many of the wii apps to add new features or modify existing ones i have custom builds of CFG and Sneek to name a couple
I can do any translation tool coding and any work decoding the file formats and making the patches even some grunt data entry work.
but i do not want to reinvent the wheel.
we need people to help
we need people who have already figured things out to come forward and give up any helpful information
the people we put together as the core team will basically be maintaining a community and communal effort to build this patch
The itself patch should and probably will be a binary patch applied to an ISO image ripped from the game dvd
We will definately no condone or otherwise approve of piracy
but i dislike riivolution and similar programs which can make things more unstable
theya lso add another layer of complexity
also using those programs is another thing end user side complicating installation
also making life for development harder if bugs or limitations exist in those programs
Once we get rolling i am willing to put on hold all my work
Even the main project a new wii backup disc image manager that was going to surpass wbfs backup manager
I will put all my spare time into this first project.
the code and tools will be open source hopefully allowing people to help improve code
maybe even to start other projects to translate other games and get a head start from our data and tools
unlike every other project so far where they hide tools and code and research so no one else can make a translation or use their data to maybe translate another game or heaven forbid a better patch!!!
Send me a personal message if you think you can be part of this
You must have the time to commit for the foreseeable future
If you will get bored in a few weeks or months or if personal life might impede you in any way you can still contribute as a community member
community members will be contributing in small ways dealing with core team members who manage the community and communal project data
Feel free to ask around and tell other people i am willing to try and do this and manage any and all code required i just need a project manager, a research team, a community relations team and some translators possibly a few more small roles exist but these are the main ones
Thanks for reading this messy programmer post, most of us coders lack simple skills such as punctuation and grammar because our brains are all used up remembering syntax and code for so many different programming languages
if you want to be part of this send me a personal message and we can get rolling
So i have some hosting ready and stuck it on my domain, now i just need people to maintain and administer it and people to populate it with data so we can get rolling!!!
