Hello, Im starting a new fan TL project. The engine is siglus engine, I used siglus extract to unpack the scene.cpk file which resulted in two types of files: .ss and .txt. My question is, what to do next? I tried editing the txt and repacking but that won't work. Please help. Edit: since we talked about a lot of tools, might as well reperpouse this thread to general siglus engine related questions.

Hi, I need a software that could help me unpack and then repack EVER17 scripts files ("script.dat") so I can translate the game in my mother tongue. The script files extension is ".scr".

Hi there I'm trying to extract files from No, Thank You!!! game. Those files are .ypf files. I succeeded to extract some but, for some reasons, some others don't want to get extracted with arc_conv... And, now, I have many .ybn files and I don't know what to do with them... Can you help me please? I would like to translate this game so hard!

Hi, (REMEMBER TO READ THE EDITS AT THE END THANKS) I want to translate VNs in my language since quite a while now but everytime I want to I fail, I'll be detailing my process to search tools and then the VNs I want to TL so you can help me find where I am wrong. I proceed like this : I do researches, download programs on github, unpack the script file(s) and then the files I extracted / unpack are also encrypted. OR even sometimes there is a fan-translation that was made but no public program to unpack to translate in another language. The translators of the fan-translation provide no contact (or don't reply) so I can't ask them to help me. I'm gonna be very specific because I tried this process many times with only 3 VNs. -The first one I tried to translate is Steins;Gate, very popular VN I saw first a demo of a translator I contacted to ask him why he didn't finished it.. he didn't had the time to do it but he didn't remember how to unpack the files so he gave me the .TXTs but it's useless if I can't reinsert them into the game. After that I searched and found 4-5 programs to unpack the files. The first program is the extractor-insertor which is not available in .exe so I tried another which had an .exe and it worked well. The unpacker showed the unpakced files which were with the extension .SCX and were encrypted so I gave up after many other researches with no result about those files. -The second was Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort, it's not a very popular game but it's running on ADV HD I think and has .arc files which I unpacked but there wasn't the dialogs and texts in the script.arc or chip*.arc files. I downloaded an english patch for the game and saw the only files that were different from the original japanese one were rio.arc and sysgraphic.arc for the ui of course. Again I try to unpack them but the program don't recognize rio.arc. - The third and last is School Days, I DL a spanish patch to help me find were the script are, by deduction like I did with Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort and found them but I searched tools to unpack .GPK files but I didn't find any relevant results. Do you have tips for me to find tools or to fix this problem by myself? EDIT 1 : I'm DL right now (31/03/2020) tons of tool for Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort since I found the search button of this goldmine of information which is this forum. EDIT 2 : I achived to extract the dialogs and texts of Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort with this : Now all I need is to find a way to get ahdprc to work to reinsert them after the TL. If someone know how ahdprc work, a step-by-step tutorial for it wouldn't be too much. EDIT 3 : I found more informations about the autor of the School days spanish patch.

Hello.. A friend of mine extracted SCRIPT .DAT files from COLLAR X MALICE English psvita game. Now, i want to convert it to text files. i tried to use hkki (i researched a bit and they said it works with stcm2l header otomate games particularly). But it seems i cant even make it work (since all of the information i got here are from old posts, i get so confuse). Is there any other way other than hkki? Hope someone could help me.thank you!

I have a port for a game and want to release it on fuwanovel, but I do not have a translation for that game (no translation exists, official or unofficial). Is there any board where I could make a thread for said port? Or should I look into releasing it elsewhere?

How can I find out which font is used in Steins;Gate Hen'i Kuukan no Octet?

Nvm, I found a workaround

I want to learn visual novel programing and editing and how everything works and stuff. I dont wanna make a visual novel, I'm more interested to help with translation work in the future. I got like 2 years of free time and I'm at the state where I'm confused about what I wanna do in life, so might as well pick up and learn something. I dont know where to start, I'm curious about kirikiri engine(and unity and other japanese engines), since it is discussed a lot, so I just wanna learn. Anyone got suggestions on where a beginner like me can start?

I'm trying to translate "Aniki No Yome-san nara, Ore ni Hamerarete Hiihii Itteru Tokoro Da yo" I'm about 65% complete, but every time I try to translate a female characters nameplate, it results in the audio file they're supposed to say not playing at all. Here's an example, at line 158 when the female speaks, I translated her name and when I change her name in the system file, it shows up but the audio file that's supposed to play called "file=s0001" it doesn't play. Here's a link to the first scenario file and the raw system file. https://mega.nz/#F!EGpERKYb!byl2crjRPQr5zIzNRgcKDw If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I saw on this blog that Saihate no Ima is listed among the unextractables...But someone commented that GARbro can be used. So I tried with GARbro but didn't discover the script files. And the extracted images are not accessible, with a ".p" extension. Since TLWiki Stats recorded the total size of the script file of Saihate ("Engine" is left blank, though), so I suppose someone must have succeeded in extracting them. I just have no idea. Any hint would be appreciated.

So I'm trying to play Tantei Opera Milky Holmes 2 on PSP. I tried many version of PPSSPP, Textractor and VNR, but I couldn't find any working hook codes, so I tried reading the memory with Cheat Engine, but once again, I couldn't find any region in the memory the text on screen would be copied to. But I found that each text has a code written before it in the memory e.g. ARS2100120. Then I also found a region in the memory which updates to the text code corresponding to the text currently on screen. The question is, can I even do anything with that, like search for that code and copy what ever is after that until it hits 00 which indicates the start of another text code?

Sorry if this is messy, as I'm new to this forum. I'm programming a VN where my MC will find people based on where she locates herself on a map of her school. Example: She can go to "rooftop or cafeteria", and there she will find someone at a random stat percentage of chance. I need to program how to click on that location on a image that will be static onto the screen until you make a choice, then program the percentage for a person to greet her there. Can someone help me work this out? Thanks in advance! ;w;

Hi. I would like to translate Muv-Luv (Steam version) into my native language (polish). However, I can't get to the game archives. I tried different tools from the web, but they all didn't work with Steam version. Could someone help me get to them? Thanks in advance for help.

Hi guys, how are you? I am currently trying to create an interface patch for new Astronauts game 'Tou no Shita no Exercitus'. I have used arc_conv to extract files from gxp archives. Currently there are following archive in game installation direction: bgms.gxp (Background music) bincode.gxp (? two files containing list of game file paths, like cg, music and stuff) cg.gxp (game Cg, event cg, ui cg, character sprites) data.gxp (game fonts, card, character, skill, enemy details, maps and other texture, UI Buttons and other) patch01.gxp (version 1.01 update patch related stuff) system.gxp (?) voices.gxp (character voices) I am currently trying to translate dialog message that appear in game like choices, instructions, tutorials etc. But I cannot find where is the text for those is present, also I cannot find scripts for game. I've also tried to use Resource hacker with game exe but It isn't showing any text strings inside executable. Can anybody help me with this. Were can I find game scripts (text) and how? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanx

I know nothing about game design, coding, programming, it Japanese, but I wanted to try my hand at translating a game to get better at all of the above. My problem is I don't even know where to start. I have the game, and the archive files are right there, but they arent in any format. They're just blank. I have no idea where to even start, if this is even the right place to start. Help? Or just a nudge? Anything is better than the blind fumbling I'm doing now.

Hi. After reading Kazoku Keikaku I was taken aback by poor editing of the later part of the game. Thinking about re-editing it into something more readable, I tried to extract the scripts from the game. Unfortunately I ran into the wall pretty quickly. The only tool that was able to do anything was ArcTools. It recognizes ISF files, has even built-in template for Family Project. Unfortunately it was only able to decompile dialogue lines, omitting everything else (narration, character names over spoken lines etc etc). It produced a bunch of files with content like this: :: word wrap line after, characters=50 :: - <7B79, 0006> "......"= - <8296, 0006> "Ai ya~"= - <8458, 0006> "..."= - <8948, 0006> "Hey, are you alive?"= - <89B2, 0006> "...mmm..."= - <8DA7, 0006> "Hey, what's wrong?"= - <8E89, 0006> "Are you okay? Can you get home by yourself?"= - <8F23, 0006> "..."= - <902D, 0006> "Ah..."= - <9109, 0006> "... Wo ... xiang yao ... yi bei ... shui."= - <923D, 0006> "Ai ya..."= - <92EF, 0006> "Hey."= - <94A9, 0006> "What happened?"= - <9A31, 0006> "Damn it."= - <9BC4, 0006> "But now isn't the time to be saying this."= Completely unusable. "AE VN Tools" is able only to extract files from main archive, but they stay in encoded form - its script module isn't working, so it cannot decompile scripts. On the AE page, I stumbled upon a pack of python scripts that are supposed to decompile and compile ISF scripts, and also convert them into Ren'py. Unfortunately - they crash d:\tools\isf_tools_20100606>isf_disasm.py snr00.isf >snr00.txt Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\tools\isf_tools_20100606\isf_disasm.py", line 97, in <module> print isf_disasm(sys.argv[1]) File "D:\tools\isf_tools_20100606\isf_disasm.py", line 76, in isf_disasm x = isf.decompile(buf) File "D:\tools\isf_tools_20100606\isf.py", line 589, in decompile return ast(ISF(), buf[len(j) * 4:], j) File "D:\tools\isf_tools_20100606\isf.py", line 580, in ast isf.ast += [[o] + params[o](p, (j, js))] File "D:\tools\isf_tools_20100606\isf.py", line 121, in p_onjp r += [(T_LABEL, ulabel(wd(p, i), jjs))] File "D:\tools\isf_tools_20100606\isf.py", line 65, in ulabel return js.index(j[l]) IndexError: list index out of range d:\tools\isf_tools_20100606>

Hello, I am interested in managing/creating a fan translation group but I'm unsure where to start and what I should know. I'd appreciate some advice from fellow fuwanovel members! I'm not very fluent with my Japanese but I'd love to help in aspects such as illustration. I can make a mascot design for our group, Icons for the members, Logo, etc for the blog and social media. I'd like to make a group with a fun friendly atmosphere where we can build a bond with each other!

Hi guys, I'm doing a translation of Starless and I managed to decrypt the routes, I think, from the .arc file. My problem is that I don't know how to edit the .mjo files, or convert them to .txt to see the dialogs. I would really appreciate your help with this, thanks in advance. PD: The engine is Majiro.

I have no idea how to extract this at all, so I'm begging for your humble help.

Hello all. As of right now I'm in the process of creating a fan translation patch for Clover Day's! I've run into a bit of an issue though as I'm new to the translating gig. So here's what I have. I can read and write japanese just fine, so there's no issue there. However, extracting the text to replace with the english alphabet is becoming a problem. Clover day's files consist of .xp3's primarily. I've used Garbro to extract a scenario file which I believe should hold the actual text. Opening this with notepad++ reveals a wall of (what appears to be) encrypted or compressed text. SO I gave up on using Garbro and went along to try out krkrextractor. Then I followed the intstructions of making sure the krkr exe and dll file are in the game directory, however the krkr main menu doesn't open. SO, in the end I'm back to square one. I can't extract anything to edit and repack. Any advice? *also tried xp3tools but dear christ cmd absolutely hates me.... invalid syntax and unaccessible folders for days....
