Hacking Zill O'll infinite plus

[m4rc0]

Great!!!

 

[Kitsu-neechan]

Just finished with the cleanup of the revised assembly, and now the switch function works as it should, and it also saves the selected setting with your save file,
so that it doesn't have to be set again everytime you load the game.

left to do for this is to make the track change instant when the option is set, instead of waiting for the next track change as the current behavior is.
Also need to remove the data install and uninstall options from the main menu since they can't be used anymore. But those are really just QoL improvements as far as the whole goes I think.
the important part is that the function is there and it works.

dual BGM also in japanese, because why not!
people always neglect japanese players when they code "improvements" for translations and we can't have that now can we?

 

[m4rc0]

Impressive work! Can't wait for the patch!!!!!!!!!!!!

Impressive work! Can't wait for the patch!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks!
we're working as we can but still we mostly only have time to properly look at anything during weekends. so even smaller things sometimes just drag along for longer perriods of time....
it's still moving along though, no worries.

 

[m4rc0]

Yeh! Take your time mate!

 

[Kitsu-neechan]

Well, the menus of Zill O'll are programmed by satan himself, so this was much more of a fight than it actually should have been, but
the install and uninstall options are now gone from the menu.

bit more work and we're done with this whole music business....

as far as other things go, some more of the boring parts of the translation (random system messages/error messages etc) was done, and the "breadwork" is getting there, on whichafter the
translation work will move full force back into the main story parts.... again one small step closer to the end.

it's been a while since i updated this one so here goes,
yes, we're still at it, but time's bee pretty short as of late, so it's getting to go on a bit of the slow side nowadays.
current thing we're working at is messing with the categorization of the biography entires in order to change it to A-z or whatever type of ordering we come up with
instead of the default syllable ordering the game has.

The translation itself has progressed, but I cant really comment on the amount since i havent received updates from Tom in quite a while now,
we talk about the project regularly and he does throw snippets of newly translated stuff every now and then but none of that is implemented in the current build yet.

all in all, we only work on this from the code side few hours at weekends due to time restraints and i've been busy and stressed to hell lately due to shitty life situation and the immense workload i have
working on coding my own game, so it has been left a little bit on the backburner.

there's no danger that we wont finish it though. even if we decide to stop polishing it and just call it a day eventually, the game itself is already in playable state and the entire script will be translated and implemented.
what we're currently doing on the code side are things for improving the experience instead of things that are actually required for making the game work (reordering the biograpties, fixing out of textbox text enties, cleaning up graphics etc.)

I know I'm not the only one who's going to tell you this but, take all the time you need.

Enjoy Life and unwind for a bit.
Remember it's your passion that drives the fan translation of Zill O'll Infinite plus.

So when life gets tough so too is your passion for your project to the point of becoming a burden..or worst case scenario.... it gets cancelled..

So take a load off and replenish your passion for your project rather than dealing with IRL problems while your interest is fizzling out at the same time.

 

[Kitsu-neechan]

oh the passion hasnt gone anywhere, it's time and other things that are not letting me concentrate on it as much as I want to.
but yeah, it's moving along.

as far as this mess goes, we located the biographies category index and the way it is listed out.
once Tom comes up with a coherent way to categorize the names (we propably go by character home regions instead of a-z or whatever, not sure yet.) we'll have a lot of text reordering and index patching to do.
after that, there will be the one extra step of patching up the unlock conditiontables to make sure that correct biographies are unlocked by correct game events, but it's looking pretty good so far.

the whole system is pretty convoluted though, but this will be one of those changes that will just make the whole thing look so much better that it would if we just left the categories as japanese or make them like "01, 02" lol.

The Bio's can wait if its pushing back progression of the actual translation work.
But if you guys can handle it despite its complicated nature then go at it!

Like I said we can wait so take all the time you need~

Oh also some dude is saying that this project is semi dead since you never post/update at romhacking anymore lol

 

[Kitsu-neechan]

i dont post in romhacking anymore because they're fucking douchebags there.
i got banned from their discord server by a fucking biased power abusing moderator so rhdn can fuck off really.

on the matter ofposting about things anyway, i've never been too good at that to begin with
its done when it's done, i guess...

as far as the order of things and progress goes on this project. it is moving on but like i've been saying for a while now, we only have so little time to work on this.
fixes like the biographies etc are not "pushing back progress" it's all part of the same one big progress really.
there will be no releases whatsoever until every last bit we want to do is done, so doesnt matter what order we do them in

 

[rwbonesy]

love to be called a douchebag just because a user has issues with the moderation staff

 

[rwbonesy]

REDACTED, thanks crappy board software

 

[Kitsu-neechan]

love to bee made fun off and then power abused to shits with no chance to even say anything while oversensitive moderator cant handle jokes which they started making.

you're (or whoever it was) the one who kept going on and on about something i specifically asked you to stop, intentionally trying to rile me up.
and once i made a joke at you, what did you do ? fucking mute me before i even had a chance to finish my sentence because i didnt treat you like you're an allmighty above-everyone-else-moderator.

you're just a oversensitive powerabuser hiding behind your shiny moderator tag, that's all that was about.

The thing about discord and any kind of community forum is they always attract people that like to control and abuse the powers that they claimed for themselves, I stopped giving a fk anywhere, if a community thinks that I'm unnecessary and purge me, I just move on. Lots of losers and trolls nowadays, you will get hazed to telling the truth most of the time.

pretty much goes for me too. if a community doesn't give a shit enough about it's members to treat them with a minimum amount of respect, they can keep their shit,
i dont lose anything leaving it, they do.

i have better things to do in my life than being harassed by incompetent moderators.

 

[rwbonesy]

I'm not danke at all. But you implied all of us at the discord were douchebags. Which is kinda rude.

 

[Kitsu-neechan]

I just said "they're douchebags there" as a reference to the fact that the moderation staff is and is allowed to be abusive, which is enough for me to leave it.
like i already said, if a community staff doesnt have even a minimum amount of respect towards users, then it's not for me.

as for why i said they instead of "him" or whatever, thats because the fact that moderators have their rules they're supposed to act upon, and
since it was seeming ly allright for a mod to abuse me, im assuming this is a standard practice on the community.

now, i already left the server so if you want something else from me, you're free to send me a private message, othervise let it be.

If you aren't a douchebag, don't respond to "douchebags"
And yes, if you are in a douchebag community and get along fine with the other power-abusing douchebags, I would say you would make a fine douchebag as well. Go fk yourself.
