summon night swordcraft story 3 gba rom english

Itd be useful for the proofreaders to have enough knowledge on the series (mainly the second game, because the forge system is more similar, except for the new option added which has been translated as ENHANCE) and japanese enough to help with some concepts (I remember another translator asking for the difference between a craftknight and a blacksmith, places, etc).

Look at the bright side though, a lot of progress has been made as of today.

Script insertion has begun on its early step: finding a good script format to export the original, japanese script.

Now the only thing left after the formats been polished is add the translated script and voila.

Normmatt has offered to work on a VWF so once the scripts been inserted itll begin.

Ive been trying to arrange the script in a way it can be translated while following the storys order, Ive been doing it with a trick earthdarkness taught me Spoiler: Using vba-sdl-h and a breakpoint on read lets me see which piece of the script is being loaded..

Once the scripts been arranged, proofreading and TLC will start.

Ive been following your projects progress on both here and your gbatemp thread and its fantastic Since youre getting close to the end line will you be looking at migrating over to new projects on Summon Night 1 and 2 for the DS respectively Since you and your team do have GBA romhacking expertise itd be natural for you all to be able to do those DS games as well What do you think Thanks for the support guys, we appreciate it I arranged the script so hopefully proofreading can start soon.

Working on Summom Night 1 and 2 is not out of the realm of posibility.

Ive got some graphics translated: Spoiler: Feedback is welcome also, got news from earthdarkness: Quote Sorry about the time It took me to vsit the forum, it seems I got busy very fast.

And seeing as right now I dont have the required time to fully test the exporter.

I propose we decide on the naming of some variables (when released these cant be changed) and release an early version of the script.

Then tell people to focus the proofreading on the main story for now.

Anyway, Earthdarkness sent me yesterday the scripts with the format, and we decided that proofreading should start right now.

Heres an example of the first script file with the format: Code: Select This one is loaded at the beginning of the game, as you can see earth included all the relevant information (type of box being shown on screen, who is talking, each characters portrait, branches of all dialogue choices based on main characters gender and summon beast chosen at the start of the game) to make proofreading easier (you can also play the game while making corrections if you want, only thing that wont be visible is the branches of dialogue).

Heres the explanation earthdarkness sent me which will be useful for proofreading: Quote from: EarthDarkness As for the format: -If the line starts with a the entire line is a comment.

The translated text should be inserted between tags in the same way the tags are arranged.

In this the translation is one to one which means there are no gender differences in each answer.

With the section in the line right after the tag.

In this the translation will join malefemale text into a single entry.

Thus should be used when they say the exact same thing.

With two sections each inside a section of newly created section.

In this the translation will split the malefemale text into two entries.

Thus should be use when in japanese the text is genderless but in english there is gender diferences in the dialogue.

The tabs arent vital for the format to work, but Id rather have them properly aligned.

The text is allowed to start with spaces.

Some texts are centered and there isnt any automated text formating for that in the game.

Atention should be paid to the start of the sjis text to see if there are spaces at the begining.

Every text line should be ended with the tag.

Line breaks shouldnt be added to the texts the tag is used for that.

Ill add some rules that will be important: -Files with 0kb size should be ignored.

Only the japanese text between and should be proofreaded, those with havent been tested yet.

TXT.

Proofreaders should open both the exported script (the names format is size-of-scripthex-location.txt, inside the exported folder) and the corresponding translated script (name is hex-location.txt) both matching only the hex-location (dont worry if the translated one starts with zero, the rest has to be the same though).

Some scripts were left untranslated (I think they were 28) so if proofreaders run into those, theyll have to translate them from scratch.

If I not mistaken a lot of them are just 1 kb files with 1-2 lines of text.
