ROM Hack Translation for KH: Recoded?

[Stevetry]

but this game is coming to the usa so like cmon wait people

 

[Spenstar]

Doesn't the OFFICIAL US Re:coded site say 1/11/11? What more proof do you need?

Anyways, being on topic: I believe that a translation would be pointless, play the Japanese one if you want...(It shouldn't be THAT hard to understand. Not saying that it's easy but still) or wait for January. I won't be as long as March.

And here is their website to confirm that its coming out in January: http://kingdomheartsrecoded.com/us/

Edit: But its not the 11th its the 14th

To nitpick, it says January 14th, 2011. But that's beside the point.

the game will be released January 11 2011 in the USA not march

A menu translation and possibly the key story text would actually be easy to translate because of this: Kingdom Hearts Coded Walkthrough
I started a game and recoded is basically the exact same thing except for a few new things, all we would need is to know what files have the text and a program to edit them.

Just an idea..

 

[ChuckBartowski]

Yeah at least menus would be nice. Makes it easier to play, rather than just guessing...

 

[demigod198]

Yah...menu makes sense.....don't waste time on dialogue though...

Btw: I'm pretty sure it's 11 in US but 14 in Eur. So we are both right and wrong

The game has multi 6 files....

Replace all _ja with _en or _de or _it or _fr or _es then most of the items/skills and some textures are translated.

Only menu&dialog needs a translation, which is easy (if you understand japanese), text files are easy to find (jp folder, _ja name)
most of them are compressed with LZ77 0x11 (wwpacker can unpack/repack them), text format is also simple

4 Byte = numText
4 Byte = text_length
X byte = UTF16LE text

Text can be edited with MadEdit.

So have you tested that out by replacing the files and it was partly translated?

yes, here if you replace _ja with _de, only a small font bug.

Do you think you could post what files you replaced so then I could test it out?

ex:

con_ja.s.z -> con_en.s.z

besides MadEdit and wwpacker what other tools can I use to extract and edit the text files

Atlas or have a tool made for you, but for a game with a localization soon, you'll have a hard time finding a programmer to make one for you.

That's almost-proper german.

I just wonder why the hell it can't display äÄöÖüÜ...
You'd think that if a game has multi-language files lying around somewhere it'd also have things specific to that language displayable.
(Russian would be completely blank lines, then...)


And by the way, HELL YEAH!
Not to pressure you, but if you're able to do that just as an example we could have a full menu-translation within the next few days, right? Right?

I could make a translation if someone translate me everything in the menu. I can't speak japanese and google translate isn't a help here.

I didn't repack the rom, i just changed names in the filetable.

PS: change OP.mods to Secret.mods to view the Secret Talk ^^

The proper way to get the text is to parse the file, iterating though the specified encoding table.
I did it for a possible translation (with truthkey as tranlator lol). The result is good even for a storyline tranlation:

EXAMPLE FILE:

(view with NOTEPAD, the browse will probabbly show you the raw data

 

[Lunitari]

Uh... There are so many games in JAP that will never be released in english, many great games... why waste time in this? x__x KH is gonna be released in USA and EUR. Why don't you help with the translation projects in this forum? ><

Also I don't understand why to translate Pokemon games, when they're released in almost every country =_=' *sigh*
