I'd really like to translate something, but I guess I'm just not sure where to start.

There have been 1-2 translators wanting to do it for a while.

The full-fledged scripts themselves aren't that easy to obtain, unless you're willing to invest a week or two in writing a decompiler/recompiler for the bytecode language. Text dumps however, are very easy to obtain, but most translators don't want to work without having full scripts with where text is guranteed to be in order and with all character names.

So basically, from what I'm seeing, it seems like the game scripts are usually stored in some sort of custom archive file.

If I'm understanding things correctly, the programmer would basically have to create something to extract the script from the archive, and something to recompile the translated script into this archive format.

Is there anyone here who has been part of a translation and can tell me if I'm understanding this correctly?

>> No.1771018

>>1771000
Yes, you need find way to extract and recompile dcripts (and usually graphics too) from game engine, that hasn't been cracked yet.

>> No.1771056

>>1771018
This is probably a stupid question, but what would need to be changed with the graphics? Is this to translate the Japanese text on the images? (title screen/menus or something?)

>> No.1771108

>>1771000
>>1771018
You both don't seem to understand the concept of decompilation/compilation

When you have an archive, you extract/decrypt the streams which are the scripts/graphics/resources/whatever.
In this case, there is no problem extracting the scripts, like in most games, as this is always a simple task, the problem is transforming COMPILED CODE into USER UNDERSTANDABLE CODE, back and forth, to do this, you need to document a large virtual machine and all it's instructions and make toolsets which disassemble/decompile the custom bytecode for this game engine, thus you transform a compiled binary script into a user readable and editable script. There is already a SDK which can compile them back, as far as I remember.
