Admin note: Topic/post/discussion has been Ok'ed by Emi.

Fatal Frame 4 Translation Patch Project:
Last update: July 20th, 2009

FFIV Translation   External Link
Help out our translation with our automated website, containing the full game script. Translation is no longer an open service, please apply for access through the short question contained on the front page.

FFIV Translation FAQ   External Link
Contains all the questions you've been dying to answer but we'll heckle you if you ask. Go here first before asking about the patch.

FFIV Official Translation Trailer   26.0 mb
The official Translation Trailer, modified by Tempus, translated by Chabi and Tempus, and soft subs by KittyFields. MKV format with ASS softsubs, see the Media Page for more information.

FFIV Media Page   External Link
Fatal Frame Image Packs, Movies, and more to come will all be hosted on this media page.

Omake Thread   Internal Link
Sign up, discuss, or post your progress on creating omake for Fatal Frame 4 english patch release.

FFIV Gameplay Demo AVI   14.6 mb
The first gameplay video of Build A rev45. The translation on this is very outdated, and the font still needs a few modifications, but you can still enjoy the special sneak peek!

FFIV Pick a Font Poll   Pick a font for the translation
Poll is now closed. The winner was Font 3, with 9 votes. Thanks to everyone who voted.


Other Languages:

Currently, the patch is only in English. I have had requests for other languages though, and will be setting up a translation site for each within the next while. I will not take requests for languages with less than 50 million speakers worldwide.

Currently Requested:
Français
Deutsch
普通
Português
Castellano
Italiano
русский язык
Dansk


These sites will be up within a few weeks, once the English base has reached a high enough level of quality to consider re-translation.


Current Progress:

Text Decryption - 100%
Image Decryption - 100%
Re-encoding Text methods - 100%
 (subtitles, dialogue, item text, menu text, files, others)
Re-encoding Image methods - 100%
 (GUI, fonts?, etc.)
Re-encoding Automation - 100%
Image Re-encoding Automation - 98%
Voice Acting - Early Stages (unknown?!)
  (Under secondary revision)
Translation Status - 100%
  (Translation Status is now roughly accurate)
Inputting Translations - 100%
Patching Method - 82%

Beta Testing - Final Phase
Bug Fixes - 45%
System Messages and Credits - Encoding untested but otherwise done

Hey!

Great images. I am having trouble opening any of the MAC_OS images. (granted, opening them on PC. XD) But the ones in the JPEG file are  completely OK and look great. Smiley

I'm not certain what you mean by MAC_OS images - I included 19 images all of which were JPEGs, and no hidden files. I am running on a Mac, though, and I used the Mac built-in archiver so it may have stuck something in.

I have looked it up - The apple zipper includes all sorts of metadata - the Mac version of the Thumbs.db file I suppose. I'll reupload a clean version to the same address.

If your team is able to do this. I will worship you. Hug you even. Marry you. Scratch the last part. It has been a long time since i have heard of an attempt by fans on the size of a dvd. Let alone a game with alot of movies. So it definitely just won't be the script. Thumbs up.

I'll try and do semi-regular progress reports.


Progress:

Text Decryption - 70%
Image Decryption - 8%
Re-encoding Text methods - 0%
  (subtitles, dialogue, item text, menu text, files, others)
Re-encoding Image methods - 0%
  (GUI, fonts?, etc.)
Inputting Translations - 0%


Since we're still discovering more about the format used, this is subject to change. We are in no way responsible for being accurate about our progress. For example, we may be able to simply reverse the process and encode new images without worrying about checksums - perfect, instant 100%. Or we may discover that the text for the diaries is kept within an secret encryption scheme that uses a hidden Puzzle Bobble game and will only decode properly if you break the high score. Okay - both of those are not likely, but you get the idea.

So... in the mean time play lots of Puzzle Bobble.

In the future, should things go well, I may look for help in modifying hex codes with translated versions - this is at least a month away, quite possibly a few. Should the patch ever be completed, you would need:

A copy of FFIV
A Japanese Wii
A USB hard drive
Several special applications (for applying and running the patch off the connected usb - a few approaches are being considered)


Wow, that sounds expensive.  lol

No worries. I'm a much better graphic designer than I am programmer, so I won't need any help on that score should images need changing (unless, of course, there are much more than I'm expecting). I may need help typing the translations into the program (since the text is extensive), but that would be a lot further on than we are now. We're still at the programming heavy stage, where most of the labour is in figuring out how to do it properly. If and when I do need help with the sort of simple but labour intensive work (changing graphics, entering translated texts, etc) be assured I will be reading through this thread and asking those who have offered.

I've got more images to share. Be careful! These ones contain some minor location and enemy spoilers. Well, perhaps more than minor? I'm not certain, I haven't beat the game myself yet! Avoid the 'gallery_gazou' pics if you are worried some bosses may be in there.

Gallery is here - [link removed - read further for new links]

The old link has been taken down, as all the old pics are included in the new archive (and my ftp is only 25 mbs big!)


Progress:

Text Decryption - 45%
Image Decryption - 14%
Re-encoding Text methods - 0%

We've almost for the whole game script decrypted, minus the tags. By tags, I mean the sorts of information that tell us when windows open and close, where the text occurs, how long the text lasts for, etc. We also haven't gotten the character encoding done yet, as it has some tricky alpha levels.

Once the game script is ripped, I'll zip it and post it. Once we've cracked the text encryption, we can attempt to replace characters. If successful, then Stage 2 will be a go. Then Stage 3 would be figuring out the patching implementation.

Still, good progress so far. I'm optimistic.

Here's some example script files, which were extracted pretty much whole. We are still having problems with some others. These two scripts can be found at the very beginning of a New Game. [0x8D] Represents a line break.

edit: "The upload file is full" it says, so I can't attach them to the forums. Text below:

That's part of what it says at the very start of the game, on the black screen before you start playing. Stuff about the game being set in the 80s and being a work of fiction, etc.
I've noticed a couple of pictures in the file that I've not actually seen in thegame, that's pretty awesome Cheesy I've no idea what the problem is with the attachments... any other way to upload them? I'm intrigued!

Okay, progress reports.


Progress:

Text Decryption - 97%
Image Decryption - 85%
Re-encoding Text methods - 0%
  (subtitles, dialogue, item text, menu text, files, others)
Re-encoding Image methods - 0%
  (GUI, fonts?, etc.)
Inputting Translations - 0%


As you can see, we pretty much have the game script complete (thanks to Mr.Mongoose). It should be done by Monday (or maybe Tues). Chabi has almost completely gotten all images, including the fonts. A website with all the scripts will go up soon as well. We may also attempt to put English text in the game now, if successful I will post a video. More to come on Monday.
