parfait Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) (before i write anything, let me just say i have never translated a game!) I may have this problem because I barely know about translator++ (the program im using to translate a game) and extracting files using its file extractor,, but when i select an .exe file of the game I want to translate an error message pops up that says ''Expected Data folder is not found. Please extract all the xp3 archives first before working with Translator++.'' (even though when i open up the game by itself it runs it like usual...) (+I have tried using the built in extractor but it has been ''working'' before and as im writing this post (...as in a long time) and i have a suspicion its because im using the file i tried to select) so if anyone has any recommendations for easy-to-use programs to extract .xp3 files, i'd be really grateful!

Entai2965 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Use Garbro-mod. The mainline version should also work, but the mod has been updated more recently. Garbro can also repackage the scripts back to .xp3 once the files have been translated. Translator++ -> Export to folder. If you are going to be translating kirikiri stuff, be sure to read up on the game engine here and patching guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entai2965 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 If you are dealing with .xp3 files, then you are usually dealing with the kirikiri game engine because the kirikiri game engine typically uses .xp3 files as archives for its game files. However, Itigokuruiza uses an archive format called 'asar' to archive the game files, not .xp3. Garbro, including the fork, has not been updated to support 'asar' yet, so use another archiving program. @electron/asar an actively maintained nodejs project that can deal with 'asar' archives. 1) Install NodeJS (v10+ LTS) from: https://nodejs.org/en/download/ Guide: https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm Open an administrative command prompt node --version #double check to make sure node is actually installed npm --version #double check node package manager is installed npm install -g @electron/asar asar --help #double check to make sure it actually installed If the above does not work, try the depreciated version: npm install -g asar, but this should not be necessary. The syntax is: asar extract <archive> <destFolder> The destination folder will be created after running the command. So for Itigokuruiza, you would type something like... asar extract "itigokuruiza_ver1.01\resources\app.asar" "itigokuruiza_ver1.01\resources\app" Important: Adjust your paths appropriately. That would dump all the assets for the game under a folder called "app" in the resources folder. Then rename "resources\app.asar" to "resources\app.asar.backup" for safe keeping. Rename the FOLDER "resources\app" to "resources\app.asar" so that it has a .asar extension (even though it is a folder). Launch the game. It should still work and load normally using the assets from resources\app.asar\* provided there are no game breaking changes. From there, translator++ should understand the tyrano script, or you can just translate stuff yourself manually. Most of the dialogue is in "resources\app.asar\data\scenario\". Tip: Create regular backups. parfait 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tip: Create regular backups. I downloaded NodeJS just fine, but for some reason after installing electron@asar and trying to do ''asar --help'' it immediately closes (https://streamable.com/ncwboo) even though Node is able to show up just fine, can it be an issue with my laptop or something else? I tried restarting my laptop several times, but it didnt fix anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
