Super late response, but I'm not quite dead. Just taking a little break for some real life things. With that said, I am looking at getting this project rebooted and updated consistently as it was before my hiatus.

I've been having a bit of trouble trying to parse this sentence. Something about it is just throwing me off and I can't tell why. そして暗黒ジークンドーとは闇のスーフォーで暗黒面に落ちたブルー_r　３が異世界パンゲアに召喚された先で自得した謎の武術！ As for context, two characters are walking alone at night and one of them says that it's kind of dangerous. She continues to say that there's nothing to fear though because she knows 'Dark Jeet Kun Do'. She explains that normal Jeet Kun Do is a martial art developed by Bruce Lee, then comes this sentence where I can tell she's further explaining what the 'dark' variation she supposedly knows is, but I can't quite parse it correctly into English. Thank you in advance for any help.

They sure are! Progress is relatively slow but consistent (though it may not look it from the progress section since the current scripts are particularly long).

As others here have said, translating a VN is really not something that you should take lightly or try to do on a whim. It takes a significant amount of time just to do the translation, let alone finding someone to help with hacking, editing, etc. It can be tempting to just jump into it, but the novelty and fun wears off quickly if you aren't doing it for a more specific reason. Though with that said, if you do end up choosing something, make sure it's something that you actually enjoy and, preferably, have actually read since translating as you go along will inevitably lead to having to go back and redoing something that you misunderstood at first, etc. Good luck with whatever you choose. It can certainly be done, but not without a legitimate commitment.

I suspected as much. Either way, it looks like that page has been taken down already. All's well that ends well until MG sends me a cease and decist.

Does anyone know the story behind this here? I received an email bringing this to my attention, but really don't know what to think of it. Is this seriously just some random person trying to Greenlight another company's game?

I'd prefer not to bump this thread unless there's something of major importance to note (like a patch issue or something along those lines), but to answer the question: No, I don't have any plans to translate the siscon patch as of this time. However, with that said, there is already a little sister route in the game complete with everything you may have expected in the patch (H-scenes, etc.), so it's not like you're totally missing out or anything.

I hate to be the one to bump this thread again with no news to offer, but would anyone here happen to have the original scripts/images archive that the previous translator published in his absence post? Unfortunately, it would appear that the original link is dead. I know that there was already a patch made with his final offering included, but I'd really like to have a copy of the unaltered archive if anyone so happens to have it.

Thank you very much. As an aside, how would I go about reconverting these text files into a Scenario.mpk file after they've been modified?

Hello everyone, I was hoping to extract the scripts from Sukimazakura to Uso no Machi. Unfortunately, none of the available tools appear to be relevant for my needs, though I've taken quite a liking to this particular title. Here are some screenshots of the file folder for any possibly needed reference: SS I SS II If perchance someone is willing and able to help me, would a script of some sort be possible to automate the reinsertion of text? Either way, thank you in advance.

I see. That certainly makes sense then. Though regardless of the outcome, I appreciate your time and effort with this. I'll try a few more things to see if I can't figure out what's going on. I'll try compiling the script from a Linux Live CD I have and seeing if the results will differ. Edit: Based rr- has fixed everything and things are now good to go. You can expect more formal updates/a website(?) once the first edited/somewhat retranslated partial patch is ready (so that people can see that this is a legitimate project). There's also the possibility of joining another translator to tackle it together. Looks like this won't be necessary after all.

Ah, I thought that was probably the case but just wanted to be sure. Then how about this: The partial English patch done by the previous group works seemingly flawlessly and they appear to have mitigated this issue, so do you think you could somehow check out the patched World.exe and World.hcb to see what they did to it to work around this (since it seems they modified both the executable and the .hcb file). I tried opening the WorldEN.hcb patched version (so that I could just edit/translate from the already patched version) but keep getting "Unknown opcode" messages when trying to extract the scripts. Here's a link to both just in case: WorldEN.exe WorldEN.hcb

This is a mysterious issue, indeed. When you say that you played through, do you mean by holding down CTRL or by manually clicking through? Because when I hold down CTRL, the game will load fine without issues as far as I want it to. But when I'm clicking through (as one normally would on a first play-through), I get the aforementioned error around ~100 lines in.

Yep, even with everything set to Japanese it still does the same thing. And yes, I'm 100% certain that it doesn't happen with a vanilla installation. In fact, I just went through about ~600 lines of the game using the untouched World.hcb I sent you earlier and I didn't run into a single error, whereas I get one about ~100 lines in every time on my edited version. I'm using 64-bit Windows 7, in case that matters at all.

I've actually already had both my locale set to Japanese as well as my time and date format (since otherwise, I'd get the whole "graph can't be loaded" error). At one point, I pretty much had every possible setting on my computer set as such just in case. Alas, to no avail. I'm not sure how much work that would be for you, but if you would be up to the task, then it would pretty much allow me to begin seriously tackling this translation effort.

No, the only thing I've edited at all is the World.hcb file (using your tools). EDIT: Interestingly, after installing the ver1.1 patch and copy/pasting my edits into the new World.hcb file, everything seems to be working fine now. Never mind. Same issue as before except it starts happening about ~20 lines later.

I've been thinking about picking up Irotoridori no Sekai for translation for quite a while now but lacked the tools necessary to extract/compile the scripts and all. However, now that rr- was nice enough to put together this set of tools, I've started working on my own translation (while also editing/re-translating some of the already existing partial patch). I hope to be able to work on this seriously over the coming months, so I've spent all afternoon messing around with this to make sure that there won't be any issues that pop up later on. Anyhow, while I am able to extract, translate, and compile the translated scripts and have the game display them, I've come across a major issue. Namely, after the first ~50 or so lines, when the MC's childhood friend first appears, as soon as her first line starts to load, this happens. Interestingly, if I simply hold down CTRL and skip a few lines later, she speaks and the game runs without a problem. However, if I continue on a bit longer, whenever she begins to speak again after being absent, it happens again (except apparently with a different voice file). Any ideas as to what could be causing this? Here is the string file I'm working with. The only thing I've modified are the actual Japanese lines themselves (I changed the names back to the original Japanese for the time being in case I may have messed something up with that). Yes, my locale is set to Japanese. I'd love to be able to complete this eventually, but that won't be possible if I can't get the game to work 100%. I know promises from a newcomer don't mean much on the internet, but I'd be appreciative if anyone could figure out the issue so that I can keep working on this and release it for all to enjoy.
