You know, while only lurking, I still appreciate every single update I see on this blog.
AntwortenLöschenThanks a lot for creating this tool.
Hopefully, ROM support for the German version of the game will be added at a point; I'm already looking forward all these neat romhacks that could potentially surface.
It may not mean much, but I thought some words of encouragement may be long overdue.
Thanks a lot for this amazing tool, your work is much appreciated, atleast on my end. :)
Awesome to see that the tool is moving forward! I am the same dude who posted a comment some time ago regarding the Re Translation of Soul Blazer, which I finished and Uploaded a patch on Terraearth forums for everyone to download. I am now currently doing the same for IOS US version, I am at the Itory Village part as of now BTW. Analyzing the ROM I noticed that the only things that cannot be translated using an hex editor are the intro, the map names, both the map graphics and the name displayed when the characters are travelling towards that certain destination, which are a tilemap, encoded and not editable using stuff like Tile Layer Pro. I wanted to ask you if, using your designed tool is possible to edit such parts and if is possible to overwrite the changed tiles into the original ROM itself. Hopefully you will be able to shed some light on the matter if you ave time, and good luck with this amazing project of yours!

AntwortenLöschen@ Gamez n' Gainz:
I already found the world map names (see https://gaiathecreator.blogspot.de/2015/04/world-map-names.html). Unfortunately they are only displayed in the editor but cannot be edited yet. This is maybe something for the next release ;)
You can edit the names in the world map directly in the ROM:
You find them at ROM address 0x3B244 (US ROM without header). The names are divided by 0xCA. They are encripted as follows:
0x00 .. 0x07 Letters A to H
0x10 .. 0x16 Letters I to O
0x20 .. 0x27 Letters P to W
0x30 .. 0x32 Letters X to Z
0x40 .. 0x47 Letters a to h
0x50 .. 0x56 Letters i to o
0x60 .. 0x67 Letters p to w
0x70 .. 0x72 Letters x to z
0x17 Exclamation mark
0x57 Space
0x73 Comma
0x74 Dot
0x75 Backslash
0x76 Quotation mark start
0x77 Quotation mark end
Let me know if you will discover more characters ;)
The map names are encrypted just like the text messages and you find them beginning at address 0xD8200 (US ROM without header). The names are always in the following layout: 0xFF ..name bytes.. 0xCA.
You could already edit them using the editor but your ROM will very likely not work as expected afterwards so I would recommend for now to edit it manually.

AntwortenLöschenThanks man, I have created a separate TBL file to edit those names too, so I got a total of 3 TBL files, one for the standard game dialogue and his encryption, one for the menus, and this one finally. Only the intro, and the World map graphics are still untouchable. Anyway thanks for the head up regarding the locations names!
LöschenCan't start the app, because there isn't an .exe file for the 4.3 version, and whenever I try to start one of the .application files, it tells me that the program is installed elsewhere and so it cannot be started... :/
AntwortenLöschenUnfortunately you have to uninstall the already installed app first until you can install the new version.
LöschenI will try to fix this in later versions.
Unfortunately, I think I just removed the folder with the older version and that's it. I'll try my best to get it to work, but it would be awesome if you could fix that for the next release.
