Otogirisou Translation

[Anonymous No.]

Hey /jp/.

A few weeks back we had a Chun Soft thread and were talking about translating Otogirisou, but is anyone still interested?
I made a thread on romhacking.net in case anyone who knows how to hack is here.

Other than that...
ITT: Chun Soft

OP from that old Chunsoft thread here.
Glad to see you're still motivated to bring this great game to the english community.

This would be awesome translated.

Never even heard of it,All I want is my Metal Slade Glory translation.

NES or SNES,I dont care,just give me one.

[Anonymous No.]

Bump for good game.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2394636
I'll try it later.
If you know how to hack, I'll translate it if it looks interesting.

btw, my topic got closed... It's weird, you're not allowed to make topics in the forums if you don't have a lot of work to show, and you're not allowed to make a help wanted ad if you don't have a lot of progress made apparently.
While this system may work for hackers, who can hack some stuff and then say "Someone translate", what are translaters supposed to do?
I can't get the script out to translate it and thusly can't make a topic. Sorry, just kinda pisses me off.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2396199 you're not allowed to make a help wanted ad if you don't have a lot of progress made apparently.
That's weird, I always thought you could make an ad as a translator looking for technical help.
Meh, I'm sure it wouldn't be such a problem to find a rommhacker if it was for the fifth retranslation of Chrono Trigger instead instead of a Japanese sound novel.

[Anonymous No.]

Bump for help.

While most likely a bad idea, you could try /v/ for ROM hackers.

[Anonymous No.]

I've wanted to play this ever since playing Kagetsu Tohya.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2398754
/v/ will most likely flame me, especially since it's a VN and not GRIMDARK FPS 3 or someshit like that.

Kagetsu Tohya? Never heard of that... will look it up.

I only come here once in a while, sorry.

[Anonymous No.]

Fuck, I at least want to get the script so I can show I have some work done and not get my topics closed.

I tried using the otogirisou_dumper in the starter thing in Abandoned Projects on romhacking.net, but when I boot it up it says "ERROR - no ROM args".

Anyone know how to get the script at least?

[Anonymous No.]

Having no skills kind of sucks, so I'll just bump this up in hopes that someone can help OP.

[Anonymous No.]

i need more horror VN so this has to be done

[Anonymous No.]

Thanks a lot to those of you who are bumping!

If anyone knows however, about how to get the script out and could help me out with at least that I'd be really grateful. It'd give me something to show so people might be more willing to help.

[Anonymous No.]

GRRR why shit like Asagi is translated and this not???

so bump!

[Anonymous No.]

what is the connection in Kagetsu Tohya and this game?

Kagetsu Tohya had a parody chapter of it.

[Ayn !ji3CXASUKA No.]

Yeah, Imogirisu

[Anonymous No.]

but why not to try with the PSX version too? and that would be more enjoyable

[Anonymous No.]

>>2400397

YOU are the criminal.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2400572
Actually I'd prefer to translate the PSX version but I thought it'd be more likely to get a hacker to help with the SNES...

Or would the PSX version be easier I wonder?

[Anonymous No.]

i think that the psx version would attract more attention than the SNES version
and bump

[Anonymous No.]

[Anonymous No.]

>>2400725
Using the stuff from romhacking you could at least get a script from the SNES version. If it doesn't work I have a copy on an other computer.

But yeah, the playstation version is better. More choices, better graphics and sound, etc. but I doubt it's easier to translate.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2401478
It may not be as easy as the SNES version but it's by no means impossible.

Although then again the number of PSX games that have received a fan translation is minuscule compared to the SNES games that have.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2400725
PSX version is probably much easier. I'm no real romhacker, but I've messed around with ROMs and PSX data, and and PSX data is infinitely easier to hack than ROM data.
PSX CDs are just CDs with files much like PC games (although of course a lot harder to work with). ROMs have all data compressed into one small file; it probably doesn't even contain SCRIPTS, but instead just HARD-CODED TEXT.
Chances are the PSX version also uses hard-coded text, but it's much more likely for nicely editable scripts to be used in the PSX version than in the SNES version.

[Anonymous No.]

So has anyone played Imabikisou, that teacher game or the Kamaitachi sequels?
All you hear about on the net is their old games and 428.

[Anonymous No.]

Where is my Shiren 2?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2401571 So has anyone played Imabikisou, that teacher game or the Kamaitachi sequels?
I haven't, but they got a bad reputation. Abiko Takemaru was only involved in the third Kamaitachi no Yoru, the second one is said to be the worst of the serie. I've read somewhere that Imabikisou kinda sucks too, and that it was only made for people waiting for 428 and having nothing else to do.

you're so awesome... i bought my otogirisou psx version a few hour ago, and now i find out there's someone willing to translate the game! wish you good luck for the project!

[Anonymous No.]

ok, here is the script extracted from the snes rom. Hope you can use it

maybe we could ease the translating progress with a little bit of coding

[Anonymous No.]

wtf someone post the scripts and nobody answers so bump

[Anonymous No.]

>>2405551
Thanks for the script! Will download right now.

Guess what? My request to make a help wanted ad was denied.
what the fuck is with this site? It's completely unfriendly to translators. When I made a topic I was told to make a help wanted ad instead, then I get denied? I'm honestly annoyed.

[Anonymous No.]

I looked at the script but there are a lot of gaps with just code... is this parts where the table was incomplete or something?
Is there any way to fill this in?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2406234
Yes. Seems like he just dumped the text with the standard table which has no kanji and a lot of errors.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2406234
Sorry, but I just used the tools from romhacking.net, seems like they are incomplete or something is wrong with my rom file.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2408280
Nothing wrong with the tools, but you're supposed to add all the kanji to the table file yourself manually before dumping the text or you wind up not being able to read anything.

I just downloaded it myself via torrent..

So how do I go about adding kanji to the table?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2409330
Look up the parts in the script where characters are missing, check what those parts are supposed to say in game, and add the missing characters to the table dump file.

should I upload the table here when i'm done?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2409502
The guy who wrote the table seems to have made two たs. One is replacing に.

Is there any way to figure out which one is right?

[Anonymous No.]

also he wrote a ゃ　replacing や...

[Anonymous No.]

>>2411196
Trial and error? Change one and see if it fixes the script.
Anyway, if it's any help here's my table, it has a good few hundred kanji but is far from done.

I still don't know how to dump the script. When I tried using the otogirisou_dumper last time it gave me an error which I posted above.
What exactly should I do to dump the script?

Also, thank you for the kanji!

[Anonymous No.]

>>2411401
You're supposed to run dump_TEXT.bat and not otogirisou_dumper.exe directly.
Put an otogirisou rom in the tools directory, than edit the dump_TEXT.bat file so the filename of the rom is between the quotation marks.

Also since someone seems to be bumping with playstation ISOs, slightly off-topic but does anyone have the harder to get non-Chunsoft novels like Bounty Hunter Sarah or 黒ノ十三?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2411441
It says
ERROR - no TEXT text//script.txt

Sorry for bothering you so much ><

[Anonymous No.]

>>2411493
There should be a text directory inside your tools directory. If there isn't you'll get that error.
