ROM Hack Translation for KH: Recoded?

[Ssx9]

cant find it self because im not home can you tell me the game id please

Offtopic: Stop spamming. go search for it in the game data that GBAtemp posts when a rom is released. its on the bottom of the main site. Lazyass kids these days >_>...

Ontopic: Is the whole english font already in the room? Just to make sure.

i am not spamming its a simple question

NO ASM / Font / Encoding Hack is needed here, not even a special tool...

just change the text_length and make your text longer, what is the problem?

example:
your text: "ThisIsATest"

in hex this would be 1C000000540068006900730049007300410054006500730074000000
"1C000000" is the textlength, just increase this, to make your text longer...

next example: "ThisIsAnotherTest"
in hex: 2800000054006800690073004900730041006E006F00740068006500720054006500730074000000

just compare both and you will find your problem...
If you know nothing about hex editors, don't try to translate a game.

PS: to insert bytes in a hex editor press CTRL+V or Insert

i want to start working on this, but how do you calculate the length of the text in hex? Thnx in advance... i need a project to work on.

you have to find it yourself... are you using a patched version at all... a repacked version... or a clean rom unchanged. there are many things that could change the rom id

 

[sK MaGiik]

Yes, nice! Are you gonna translate the story too? It should be easy since it is just a remake.

I would be able to do the story translation if the extraction tools were made available.

unpacking / repacking -> wwpacker
editing, use MadEdit UTF16LE

I could write a simple .NET Editor, but it's such an easy format,
in MadEdit you just need to copy&paste the text + fix text_length and it's translated.

How are you extracting them with wwpacker... it wont recognize the file structure for me.

 

[Tubby28]

i meant the repacked version with english items, menu unpatched

repack it yourself. its easy to do...


For everyone else.

i also found another set of things to be swapped...
Not sure what it does yet... repacking in a bit.
/data/cnt/con_en.s.z
/data/cnt/con_ja.s.z

Edit: Some reason it posted twice...

 

[basher11]

can someone tell me the list of files needed to be switched and where they are located?

it's confusing the shit out of me

If you go a few pages back, you will find the list.

 

[sK MaGiik]

should we att the con_en.s.z and con_ja.s.z to the list?

 

[basher11]

have you confirmed it working?

 

[sK MaGiik]

im repacking now... give me a minute or so...

im thinking it has to do with the contiue/load screen from the txt clues, but im not sure how to decompress the .z files so i cant access the actual text

 

[sK MaGiik]

nvm dont change it... i havent noticed any changes in any menus or anything at all

 

[basher11]

anyone know where adnum_en.p2 and 0E_en.z is?

edit: adnum_en.p2 is located at ui/btl

 

[sK MaGiik]

adnum_en.p2 and adnum_ja.p2 are in \data\ui\btl\
0E_en.z adn 0E_ja.z are in \data\ev\ob\

 

[basher11]

thanks

 

[sK MaGiik]

No problem... can anyone direct me to a tut or just explain on how to extract the text from the .z files so i can start translating the story?
