ROM Hack Summon Night Swordcraft Story: Beginnings Stone

[Shinon]

definitely the right one (Ritchburn's) you can tell by looking at "Kajishi!" Atlus officially localized it as "Craftknight". Earth's tools make it possible to insert it. He talked to me yesterday and by end of the semestre he'll be contacting Normatt about the inserter and the opcodes that were found.

Does that mean theres 2 translation for thd game i'll take Ritchburn's tranduction than the other

No, there's only one. I wanted to highlight the differences between insertion tools, the old one (Ritchburn) uses romanized words and the limit of each line of text make it for a lot of missing information, which isn't cool. The one that will be used is the most recently translated script (which does not make use of romanized words, rather a very clean yet stiff translation), and earthdarkness tools, which allow for more size in each text box. I thought that much was clear from my previous post, sorry!

Sigh i hope to use the older translation

The only translation that has been completed is the latest one (which has been completed a year or so), so we'll be using that one. The old one just reach the first 3 days of the game, and it was never completed.

Tastes are tastes, lol. I can assure the current translation is very well done, if only a bit too stiff in some places. Luckily, no machine translation was involved.

Okay, so wait a minute. Sorry if the information I'm seeking is already answered somewhere, but what exactly do you guys need to do to finish it?

Earth is already taking care of the script insertion:

• Opcodes identification: a lot of them were identified and Earth knows the more relevant ones (text boxes, end of line, etc).
• rearranging pointers so that the english translated script can fit inside (look at the pictures).

Once that's finished, begins the ASM part:

• Make a shift-jis to ascii conversion so that each character occupies one byte instead of two.
• make a VWF to couple that.

Ghanmi's taking care of the graphics translation. There are only a few missing (lottery minigame to be exact).

I've taken care of uncompressed messages of the game (system messages, items, weapons, etc) and some opcode identification (mainly the portraits for each character, also teleportation and minigame opcodes).

I think that covers everything.

Okay, thanks. I'm not entirely sure what all of that means, or how much that really is, but it doe help me understand the progress. Seriously, thank you so much for all of this. I only recently got into the games a bit ago, but they're definitely my favorite games of all time. I can tell you and everyone else is working really hard to get this done, and I feel really bad that I can't help.

This is amazing. I didn't know this game existed and would've been peeved about it if I was much younger. This series of games made up my childhood though I have yet to beat 2. >< I've spent so many hours pouring into the first game though.

Best of luck you friends~

 

[TheEdgeFencer]

Sorry if I'm jumping the gun a bit, I'm sorta impatient, but would an update be possible?

 

[Pablitox]

Hi!

Sorry the lack of updates, I've hard a lot of last-minute university work to do (when is it gonna end?), there has not been much project except for the lottery minigame translation. Here it is:

http://dl.dropbox.com/s/li5hu4nv3s8thv8/2273 - Summon Night Craft Sword Monogatari - Hajimari no Ishi (J)(Caravan).png

Thanks to @GHANMI for the translation.

No news on the inserter, I hope @EarthDarkness has finished it. He did not reply my last message so he must be busy. I'll update when he replies though, don't worry.

 

[KazutoGS]

Umm... Hi! I'm a Newbie here, but i read all this thread,
and the golden sun thread, and the old summon night thread, so i'm completely informed.
I wanna help you, but i dunno how, is there something i can help you?

(Sorry for my bad english, i'm from Venezuela)

[Pablitox]

Hmmm not really, everything's being done by the team. I'll make a post if something happens though.

 

[KazutoGS]

Ok! Keep working!
I really want this...

A little help? I patched it (On a Mac,) using Multipatch, and it says it went well, but this is what happened, I dont know what im doing wrong... if it helps, the one im using is:
2273 - Summon Night Craft Sword Monogatari - Hajimari no Ishi (J)(Caravan)

i guess it was patched incorrectly... But anybody know why its happening?

Game script is still untranslated sadly.

 

[megarock1018]

Ah... I see, well i'll be waiting eagerly for it to be completed then! Good luck everyone!

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Not sure but this also happened.... Some weirdness

 

[Pablitox]

Don't worry. That is known as caveman speaking, and it is a result of using dual tile encoding, because some kanjis were turned into a combination of characters

 

[megarock1018]

Ahh gotcha, well i cant wait till this is all done! Me and a few of my pals are anxiously awaiting the full patch of it (And hopefully, i can get it to patch properly)
