ROM Hack YS DS translation project

[Lumstar]

Yes, I'm assuming it's also worthy of a translation. No idea who might pick it up.

 

[Dark]

I'm asking because I'm wondering which game is better snice they are release at about the same time.

To Noitora and psycoblaster.

You guys have to look at this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ys_(video_game)
for name, location and maybe something else.
And more googling might be helps.

oh, and nice project!

EDIT: ok, I did or messed up with some quick translations and add some lines, but I don't feel like I'm helping. now name things are almost there, I think. hope you guys like it.

Are you guys planning to add a VWF? because based on those screens this game definitely needs one.

It really does but I don't know if the width data is stored in the same order as the graphics.
The width table of NFTR fonts is after the word "HDWC".I might take a look later but I have to go to school now.

Looks like this is going smoothly from the outset.

try this font for the main menu: http://www.dafont.com/cafe-lounge-19.font I kinda like it :3

EDIT: or you can just use some classic font like this: http://www.dafont.com/fiery-turk.font

Not those fonts
:facepalm:

 

[psycoblaster]

Some problems that I have found:
- 2 of the graphics still aren't found
- The script trans isn't working properly
- The font makes some of the text cut off - we really need a new font o.O (10x10sjis)

 

[Cermage]

if you guys would use that i'd be happy to make a font sheet for you guys ^^ if its anything similar to this one that darth posted:

i don't think it would be that hard at all

 

[psycoblaster]

a font sheet or a font file?

 

[Cermage]

either, font files aren't hard to make either.

 

[psycoblaster]

than we would want a 10x10 sjis nftr with single byte ascii

(Well I don't want to request such to a person that I've never talked to before though... If it's OK for you, I hope you can make one for us

)

 

[blahman]

Not to be rude, but just wondering... can't you guys simply use or start with the English script from the Ys version of any of the other 10+ systems that it was released in? It would be a bit more efficient than starting again.

 

[Cermage]

ill see how it goes =) ill report back when im done (maybe this time tomorrow, im pretty busy over the next 3 days so yeah)

 

[psycoblaster]

@ blahman
That would be more like a copy and paste. Don't you think they took a lot of time to translate the game? Then won't it be rude to take their work and use it for your own project?

Well this is a new translation project, not a translation port.

@kimstar00
I already have bought *cough* illegally downloaded *cough* the game and patched it with the english patch.

But I just use it for backup, you know for some small mistakes we could've made.
(such as the item "the mask of eyes" was accidentally translated to "the mask of ice" by our translator, but after I looked at the PC version, I found out it was "the mask of eyes".)

 

[Noitora]

Actually don't start anything yet.I will give you a dump of a font that you will edit.Is that OK?

finally you are on D:

Well we won't need any japanese characters when we are 100% done with the trans. All we will need is the single byte ascii, and some basic symbols.
If he makes a font for us, we just need to translate the text in the rom, and load up the font file, then it will look good.

So if he thinks "creating" a new file is faster, then he won't need to edit an existing file.

I can't skip school

and I don't think he can make an nftr font from scratch, I'll just give him the base.

 

[psycoblaster]

i think he can o.O

or am i misunderstanding something?
