ROM Hack Ninokuni: Shikkoku no Madoushi - Translation Project

[dark_angel]

LOOL, it was the AP and my wood was too old, updated to 1.51

/edit
now it crashes when talking to mark, only an "H" appears in the text-box and the music keeps playing
also why is the location called "ho001t" ?


/edit2
does anyone know how to extract the music and convert it to mp3?

I'm only on wood 1.28 and it's working fine.
I did notice some problems with my translations as I ran through it and one freeze when trying to exit an area, but other than that it's all fine.
the location is called ho001t because that's the file which contains the script for the map.
I just makes it easier for me to find the file if there are any problems.

ok, i tried wood 1.28 and it still crashes after the letter H is shown.
i watched it in DeSmume, and the line is as expected "Hey Oliver"
i'm waiting now till someone with an R4 says it's working for him.

 

[prectorian]

Wood R4 is at current v.1.52.
Maybe update it will work.

As someone who has both the DVD and Blu-ray+DVD copies of the masterpiece of the film, all I can say is YES!

Hey guys.
If anyone feels like playing an english version of the game.
I've translated the game up till when oliver first enters ninokuni (since that's all i've translated so far).
This is just kind of a one man thing so everything was done by me (i.e. rom hacking(my first time doing it), tranlation and image editing).
I'll probably stop if a team decides to translate the game.
As for runes that come from the book, I have sort of been changing the image on the top screen to show all available runes, but that might be a while.
Screenshots: none for now, you'll just have to trust me that it works, but if you do want some then I can.

The link for the patch file is in the spoiler below.

patch using xdelta (i.e. xdelta3-3.0.4-x86-32.exe -d -s ninokuni.nds patchfile ninokuni_patched.nds)
(I know I should probably put xdelta in my local path, but I'm lazy

I have seen your scripts and they have some errors, for instance when I open the first one, ho001t I see that in general the text have a lot of extra chars 0x0D (\r) and other invalid bytes like 0x03 (you can see that in the text of "Talk to Mark by pressing the A...). Probably this is the cause of the crashes.

I'm new to rom hacking(only did it for the experience) and I didn't want to play around with pointers so I padded the removed characters with 0x03, since it was easier to do so than changing the pointers(which I recently just learned how to do).
Not too sure about the 0x0d character though as I haven't used it outside of movie scripts.

I recommend you to pad with 0x00 instead of 0x03, it will give less (I think zero) problems. The main problem will be if the text is bigger than the original. The scripts have 2 values to update when you change a text, the size of the current command and the size of the current block. The 0x0D won't give you theorically any problem but it will increase the size of your text.

when trying to remove extra chars or bytes from your modified words/sentences just replace them with "00" like mr.Pleonex said, it's also a stop sign for the pointers.
and i thought Tinke handles the pointers with the translation plug-in in it no ?

 

[dark_angel]

I did originally used 0x00 when I started and at the time I was just doing some random stuff which gave me errors using 0x00(since I knew nothing about rom hacking).
I just changed to 0x00 and it's all fine now.
Thanks

The plugin for Tinke supports every text file except scripts, the look like recognized but you can't open them. You need my script editor to modify them, I will release it when the spanish translation is finished.

One last thing, if you like this game and specially Ghibli arts, download the last revision of tinke, open the game with it and search and open one TMAP file

Thank you sir, i was amazed by that text editor, would love to see source, my hanger for learn started growing once i saw it, and also i have Tinke last revision, taht why i said about the text editing thingy in my reply

There is no progress per se since there is no formal team whatsoever.
just a bunch of ppl trying to start and some just pointing out things.
Untill such Translation team formed, I'm not foreseeing any outcome.

Is this still the case? the NDS version of the game won't see a western release it seems

yes, most ppl wait for the western release pf the ps3 game before continuing the nds version

Hey now, lets not be mean to the noobie. To put in nicer terms, "No, there is no patch available. If it was, it would have been posted already or you could always pay a visit to google."

On a side note, welcome! Don't let some people get to you. And don't pester for patches. When they come, they come. It takes time.

And if you read a little this thread and what user's said here, you would see that "the translation is not started !"

They are waiting for the release of the PS3 version (in January 2013) to check what the names of places/monsters/characters/etc. will be so both version will match better.

By the way, Pleonex who worked on this project didn't came to gbatemp since september...
I hope he's just busy.
