Life!

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Aaaaaaand school is over for the semester, so work can resume on both translations! In the past few days, I’ve gone back to working on Shiren the Wanderer 2. Its kinda embarrassing to say, but I didn’t figure out how pointers worked in that game until just now :x I was never able to find the points for any of the text in the arm9 file, so I just assumed that I would have to work with the predefined limits in that file. Oddly enough I found it out due to the fact that crystaltile2 can “extract” the arm9 into multiple files(never noticed that before ^^;;). It ended up that the pointers were using the locations in the extracted file, so I just had to subtract 4000 from the normal arm9 to get the pointers. SCIENCE!

Naturally I’m not going to go back through and change my translations to take the unlimited space into account(unless its something important), so you’ll get left with most of the “pun” enemy names XD

New project

Shiren is on a little bit of a hold right now, but its still being worked on. I’m also working on a new side project, but I’ll announce that later once more progress has been made.

Intro

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

Hi! Welcome to Orenji Translation’s new blog! I’ve finally decided to start one so that keeping up on our projects is made just a lil bit easier.

I’ll start this off by noting that the v0.2 patch of Shiren the Wanderer 2 was released last week. This new patch fixes many of the bugs present in v0.1.1 and translates a whole lot more of the in-game messages, items and status effects. The status so far is probably about:

Monster names: 100%

Monster descriptions: 0%

Item names: 100%(?)

Item descriptions: 1%

In-game messages: 40%

Menus: 90%

Dialogue: 0%

My goal for the v0.3 patch is to have a majority of the item descriptions translated, since that seems to be the most requested feature and is integral to using many of the scrolls/staves. Right now I’m working on writing an extracter/inserter for the item descriptions, since those are stored in a different format than most of the text. I’ll try and keep this blog updated as things happen(college classes permitting, of course).
