Ren'Py Completed My Cute Roommate [v1.6.1 Ex Beta] [Astaros3D]

[MarcelPappas]

Quick question : I am trying to translate this game in greek (for personal use, nothing serious).
Yet however when I change the text in the appropriate file in greek (yes we got special characters in our alphabet aswell), I only get like 1 / 10th of the letters and the rest are filled with square boxes.
I noticed that in Korean language this happens in 100% of the characters (except the names we give in the initiation).
So, I wanted to ask, is it something I must change to my PC, or must the "greek alphabet support" be added from the game creator?

Thanks in advance!

Edit : after tinkering some (litterally not changing anything), the game now wont start when I have greek chars in the txt.

"UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xd3 in position 293: invalid continuation byte" is the error that comes up.

Although, it works and showing perfecty my greek text in some sections such as : "Input your name here".
So I assume it's not a matter of alphabet compatibility.

Any help ?

you will need to install a Greek font that have those special characters and import that to the game as well

Style Translations
It may be necessary to change styles – especially font-related styles – when translating a game. Ren'Py handles this with translate style blocks and translate python blocks. These blocks can change language-related variables and styles. For example:

translate piglatin style default:
font "stonecutter.ttf"

or equivalently:

translate piglatin python:
style.default.font = "stonecutter.ttf"

When a language is activated – either at the start of the game, or after a language change – Ren'Py resets the styles to their contents at the end of the init phase. It then runs all translate python blocks and translate style blocks associated with the current language, guaranteeing that blocks appearing earlier in a file are executed first. Finally, it rebuilds styles, allowing the changes to take effect.
Style translations may be added to any .rpy file.

So the issue is I need to install a greek font as of a "Ren'Py greek characters mod" or something?
Sorry for the noobish question, but its just for clarification since I can see greek everywhere else in my PC (even txts and such)
Thanks again!

you said that you are trying to translate this game in greek right renpy doesn't have those fonts installed by default so you have to put it in yourself that why you see [][][][][][] in some places

 

[MarcelPappas]

Allright, last one and sorry if I am getting out of topic.
I was just editing the txts.
Do i need to download a whole ren'py editor to make them appear? or is it as simple as running an .exe to update it?
(Even tho I found nothing like it online)

no you don't need to download renpy at all

just make folder called font and download greek fonts from here put it in the folder font then put it into the game folder

You must be registered to see the links

then you put this in the translation file

translate piglatin style default:
font "font/SPIonic.ttf"

or

translate piglatin python:
style.default.font = "font/SPIonic.ttf"

 

[MarcelPappas]

Allright, will try it, thanks a lot!

Turns out I'll ask once more
In the renpy/translation folder I must add the code above in which of all the files that it contains?

only for the greek translation only you won't need to edit any other translation files that's not for greek

 

[MarcelPappas]

Unfortunatelly there are no specific files for each languages translation in the "translation" folder.
I know I already wasted a lot of your time, but if u have the game downladed, check it as well, so we know we look at the same files

how to free the rat to scare the sectary?

there translation files in the tl folder that where you put the translation file into but there no greek translation you would have to make you own that what you said the first time that you are making one

how to free the rat to scare the sectary?

the game tells how to do it just don't skip

it's the same way when you give your cousin or anna the items in inventory

I tried but it keep saying "can't use item here."

do it right at the last line or share your save file

 

[Dashxp4k]

do it right at the last line or share your save file

Here

 

[rayminator]

Here

line 1. It's better to set the rat free now, before she sees you do it <- don't release it
line 2. Right now. this is when you do it <- release it

Got it thanks

 

[MarcelPappas]

Seems like there is no translate file in the other languages as well.
I was trying to mod an existing language (e.g. french), and just change the text to greek, but it ddnt work...

Any ideas reyminator?

 

[rayminator]

there is you just not looking you are properly only seeing rpyc files you would have to use unen then put it where the exe is then double click it then hit 2 then enter
