Hey hi Just wanna ask you see I've gotten into battle and when I used a skill it got stuck I mean the skill just keeps looping and looping on not damaging the enemy Can you please fix this?Yeah, and even if my translation were awful (AND the story were amazing), my response to the "your translation sucks" comments would just be, "Well, I'm a non-Japanese speaker who spent a year of my life trying to give you a free translation on a pretty complicated game, so either translate it yourself, play the Jap/machine trans version, or stfu."
(It sounds like I'm pissed or offended but I'm really not, lol). I agree with you - The Japanese dialogue is really, really annoying and boring - there are parts where they repeat themselves over and over or say super cliche things. The story is even worse/more hackneyed/confusing, which is why I did my best to make the story and text more flavorful with elements I felt would help/interest the player. Of course, I'm coming from the angle of an English speaker who doesn't speak Japanese, so I'm sure there are many things lost to my translation.
There's a fix in the ULMF thread linked in the first pageHey hi Just wanna ask you see I've gotten into battle and when I used a skill it got stuck I mean the skill just keeps looping and looping on not damaging the enemy Can you please fix this?
Also then teach me how to translate I'll proof-read it and fix the dialogues
Thanks Do i have to download the whole game again? Or Is it just a fix for the bug?There's a fix in the ULMF thread linked in the first page
it's just a fix. Copy paste it to the game folderThanks Do i have to download the whole game again? Or Is it just a fix for the bug?
I see how can I edit the game script anyways? I was gonna try to fix the translation do you know how?it's just a fix. Copy paste it to the game folder
You can use RPGMaker to edit it. Is there something inherently wrong with the translation, however?I see how can I edit the game script anyways? I was gonna try to fix the translation do you know how?
No I mean the translation is kinda hard to read It's like Half machine translation and half proper translation lol xDYou can use RPGMaker to edit it. Is there something inherently wrong with the translation, however?
Can you tell me where can i find the script for the whole game? I'm new into RPGMaker So I don't know where to find itYou can use RPGMaker to edit it. Is there something inherently wrong with the translation, however?
Hmmm ... I still don't understand. As in the grammar, syntax, spelling is poor? Or the actual structure, flow, or diction is poor?No I mean the translation is kinda hard to read It's like Half machine translation and half proper translation lol xD
You might want to start from the beginning by learning RPGMaker first before entering translation attempts, let alone editing someone else's work. Hell, there are threads and stickied posts over on ULMF or F95Zone warning new translators about underestimating some of the difficulties of translation; I'm just saying that because the very nature of and motive behind your question scares me.Can you tell me where can i find the script for the whole game?

What I meant by the script was the story and the NPC's Dialogue besides I'm just doing this because the game's is free right? I can completely either download a Japanese version of this or just improve your translation since you're not a native english speaker right? And about my motive? None just want to atleast see a decent translation honest all i see here is either machine trans or some guy who just randomly translated a game but when you read it it's still like a machine trans besides If you're gonna restranslated a game like this you might want to at least make the story good right? I mean everyone here keeps complaining that the translation is not that good then why don't they try to translate this right? Sooner or later someone might take an action and do this kinda thing you know?You might want to start from the beginning by learning RPGMaker first before entering translation attempts, let alone editing someone else's work.

Secondly, there's no such thing as the 'whole script', unless someone wants to prove me wrong. The way I understand it, the game's text and dialogue are broken down into maps and other data files that are compiled together to create the game; they're subsumed and compartmentalized into those components, instead of having a universal giant wad of text, and in RPGMaker, I don't think there's any way of seeing all the text at once.
I used Translator ++, since it provides that 'script' you're talking about (sorta), but even then, it can cause a LOT of problems too, if you don't know how to use it. And I don't know if it'll show my translation correctly if you rip the maps and data from my translation files. Even if you did, you should probably be very careful to mess with them for reasons I stated earlier. Again, it's not as simple as proofreading by decompressing the data files and correcting my grammar or spelling, lol.
The interesting thing is: With the little knowledge I have, I can even "reverse-engineer" some of them.Of course, I'm coming from the angle of an English speaker who doesn't speak Japanese, so I'm sure there are many things lost to my translation.
Sure it's free if you plan on downloading the original Japanese version (latest update) from somewhere on the internet. If you're talking about getting it without the need for piracy, you're paying money for it through DLSite. (so technically, it's not free in the first place) also, you need RPG VX Ace if you're gonna edit this translation. You either try to find some place on the internet to download it, or of course, pay up for it. (again, not free in the first place. If you have it already, then cool.) Once you have that, you still need to learn how to edit the map files and stuff either by doing or from somewhere on the internet. and since this is a long and hefty game, even editing alone can take long. not as long as translating of course, but considering you'd have to click on certain map files through RPG Maker constantly to edit the text, it's a pretty tedious process. Also, it may not only be the map files that need to be translated for the text displayed to show up in English. if you still wanna try and edit the translation despite that, then go ahead. No one's stopping you.What I meant by the script was the story and the NPC's Dialogue besides I'm just doing this because the game's free right?

It's okay I have alot of Free time either way I can just buy or download this game from the other site besides that I know some friends who i can ask for idea's like on the story's dialogue anyway Is there any way or program that I can use to fix this text over-lapping problem?Sure it's free if you plan on downloading the original Japanese version (latest update) from somewhere on the internet.

Again, all done through RPG Maker VX Ace. Make sure event editing mode is on. (either click that blue person icon or press the F6 key.) The fastest way would be to playtest this translation, so that you can pinpoint where to click in the maps through RPG Maker and edit the text there. There is also Translator++ or maybe RPGMakerTrans that can give you the text direclty, but I vehemently do not recommend them as they could potentially not give you all the text to edit or they could break the game. (If I had my way, I would forbid using those two tools for this.) Even I tried to use Translator++ at one point for this game and they could not give me all the map file text. And, I would say RPGMakerTrans is a major no-no for an RPG Maker game with such an elaborately programmed script file such as this.It's okay I have alot of Free time either way I can just buy or download this game from the other site besides that I know some friends who i can ask for idea's like on the story's dialogue anyway Is there any way or program that I can use to fix this text over-lapping problem?
Yes It's on I was thinking what I would replace for this dialogue "Oh, if it isn't \N[2] (Monica)?Again, all done through RPG Maker VX Ace. Make sure event editing mode is on.
