Developer Tools

Hi there
Do you find this message annoying?
Why not make a post and get rid of it?

[Tempus]

No idea. I certainly don’t have all that crap on my XP VM and it works fine. The program was made in VB, if I remember correctly.

I’m not certain if this represents all the data we found on gdlg sections, but it is fairly comprehensive. I think certain other values were discovered. Largely, I had no need to use any gldg sections and merely replaced the string tables.

[Tempus]

Oh, haha. There are some ASCII control codes that we needed to skip, so Clayton set the program to skip all ASCII entries. That indeed could be a problem!

[Tempus]

What exactly do you expect from me, Benja? I didn’t write the tools, and the last time I discussed these limitations was when Clayton was still working on it in September. You are free to reverse the game’s formats and write your own tool, as you please. Most, and by most I mean nearly all, translation projects never release tools at all. On top of that, this was everybody’s first translation project. I didn’t even know any programming until November.

If you want to ask questions, feel free, and I will apologize if I neglected to mention them earlier. However, if you just want to make snarky comments at me for not handing you a professional level tool that translates the game for you and walks your dog then take a hike and don’t come back.

Hi, I have a question about images extracted from RSL by Zetsubou form.

I get images correctly but they're exceeded by blue color.

Tempus, Do you know the way for edit these images and getting real color?
I used several techniques but I didn't get the real color.

Thanks.

[Benja]

I know format, it's 0x0E (CMPR/S3TC).

You can see an example(Menu_Photo background): http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/3659/photow00.png

When you were extracting images from RSL, did you see images with more blue color?

Thanks.

Tempus,
Can you help me please?
Our team is working in the tools and  we do not understand how to convert "TXT files" into "RSL" ones. Could you tell us how we do it? Also, in which folders should "RSL path", "Japanese Path" and "English path" be?

Thanks a lot

[Tempus]

RSL path contains the RSL files you’d like to translate. Japanese Path is the Japanese script txts, and English path is your script txts. If the program finds files with the same name in RSL Path, Japanese Path, and ENglish Path (excluding extension), it’ll translate them. It will output a log with any errors.

[Tempus]

Use the Japanese RSL files.

[Dimdu]

Ryoga88 , you not understand, you need the RSL files from Japanese game, you need dump (Extract) the original japanase game and use those RSL files. Use WiiScrubber for this.

The RSL files from English Patch really don't work in FF4_Translate.

[Dimdu]

Tempus, it's possible to modify the FF4_Translate to make him read the our characters (à á ó...)?

And other: What RSL file is responsible for the Fonts, in you case, the English Fonts? To make the game read you characters?

[Tempus]

You can ignore those.
