Hi! I managed to translate game made with LiveMaker2 but couldn't figure out anyway to make letters closer to each other and end result looks pretty bad.
It was mentioned in pylivemaker tool documentation that he didnt figure out either how to fix it. but those were updated last 3 years ago so was hoping somebody might have figured out work around it.

I used tools from here and
basically you need python installed and use scripts from pylivemaker to extract files for translating and insert files back to original exe.
I had zero experience using python or cmd so it was bit good learning experience haha.

I have to mention that i'm just following guide's from tools and i have only tried using them on one certain game so its possible this wont help in your case. Reading will definitely make this easier. well here goes nothing

1.Make copy of your games.exe and put it in seperate folder
2. Install python from
3.Open cmd and write " pip install pylivemaker".To install tools from translating, this wont work if you dont have python installed
3.During installation you see path where scripts are being downloaded in my case it was something like C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python311\Scripts
4. Go to that location and pick all OR just scripts lmar,lmlsb and lmpatch and copy them to folder where you put your game.

note: at this point you have to navigate in cmd to folder where you put your copy of the game and scripts
5.Open cmd and write "lmar x game.exe" change game.exe to what ever your file is called
6. This will extract all files from .exe file. game scripts should be in file called 00000001.lsb but in this format it cant be translated
7.open cmd and write "lmlsb extractcsv --encoding=utf-8-sig 00000001.lsb 00000001.csv" this will change 00000001.lsb to csv file that you can edit with spreasheet program like excel,openoffice calc etc.

8. Do your translations in translated text column and save tutorial 6.png
9. run "lmlsb insertcsv --encoding=utf-8-sig 00000001.lsb 00000001.csv" to insert your translations to 00000001.lsb file
10.run "lmpatch game.exe 00000001.lsb" to insert your translated 00000001.lsb back to your original game file

Now your translation should be completed, just put your game.exe to original game folder and try out.
