Artix0 Sadly this is the hard part of doing MTL translation with human intervention since uh I ran that text (as I usually do) through

before using ChatGPT as a last resort to really confirm/grammerfy it (because of it's TOS bugging out responses and other problems ) but none of them gave that translation. But that's why I use multiple and try to take the other text entries as context along with the sprites and names because I know that MTL is an annoying thing to deal with and you can't trust it haphazardly. I did try to incorporate

in to my translation process but found only Jisho to be useful but best used when really stuck as I was with Warlord Tartarus to try and look at individual words rather than whole sentences. Which for that example I figured out the meaning without using it.

With the text formatting, sadly I get the following where while I do get the X and Y but testing it is another thing due to the common sprite pallete/window being for all sprites that aren't permenant in the stage levels. (I did suspect that those had something to do with it so thank you for confirming that)

That's why I think I need to check in to see if Tragic had mentioned it as I get vague thoughts that they did. But regardless testing will reveal if there's spirtes that need the adjustment which I'll find then and adjust as a result since hopefully I'll have an vague idea of which one in the list of 483 sprites they are and if not then the stage file. (Though I believe the stage files have been checked already) Also some text is floating instead of in the window'ed text box as you showed in your example. (but most are in the text box)


......


I just realized also the text I posted and such has been the wrong translation text that I actually used....I've now corrected that since I took it from the wrong text entry. In my head I had it right....

Translation progress update for 7th: Bad news I would have finished today no seriously. As technically I've done sprite 483 in terms of looking through it and the previous sprites...however I simply ran out of time to do the translating of sprites 479,481-483 since they are all Merc/Followers with their own conversations making it so I couldn't copy and paste to finish them only to do half the work needed which is why I've run out of time. (I have less than 6 hours to sleep/prep for something I have later that can't be missed)
But I can say for sure though that my next update will be where I can move on to the play-testing stage where I'll also have to attempt to find and translate anything missed....presuming it's something that can be translated and isn't engine hard coded. It will mean that daily updates will probably go silent however I'll post updates from time to time which I'll go into in my next update since as I said I am already short on time.

I can finally use this though*:

*As it's the end of this stage of the translation project.

9 Days remain to the self-imposed deadline, 4 sprites remain of the 483, 0.4 sprites a day to finish on time.

4 sprites remain? Damn, now I'm hyped

 

[Rat-attack]

Rixen keep in mind the chances of missing something that needs to be translated are high due to the pure amount of possible places for text to exist in this game....which I'll have to find during the play test stage that honestly will miss stuff because from what I've seen purely from the common sprite stuff, there's several small things you can do that changes what characters say else where. (they can also be extremely specific things too)
Plus anything that is missed will then have to be hunted for of whatever contained it to then attempt to translate it.
So I honestly wouldn't expect an release within the next 3 months since I haven't played the game myself for years and the translating work was split up so I don't know where things are that Tragic knows or LoneRanger. (More on them in my update post to come) As a result it's hard to give estimates as I've only got the translating experience at this point, but got none of the translating fixing experience so giving extremely vague estimates is hard in my mind and so I don't want to put ideas in heads that it's coming sooner rather than later. (I mean look at my update posts where I gave calculations to give estimate rather than my own thoughts until this last update where it's certain basically)

EDIT: I forgot to also mention that due to how the editor and the game is setup, until a playthrough occurs it's impossible to know if all the text makes sense as we see all the text that character says without any of the context of what the previous conversation or story related action was. (As a result have to guess work based off what the rough translation is, the sprite, if applicable the stage/zone it's occurring in) Which is part of why I'm expecting errors especially with the work I've just done since it is so many sprites with 0 stage/zone context that is certain so have to infer it from the translation and sprite.
Also the thing that I needed to do did not go well so expect my update to be a bit late due to the rolling impact it's had.

what changed?
last time i remember playing i was either at the end of finished content or i couldnt figure out where to go next
id dealt with the pirates and the fire zone would auto killed me if i survived in it too long
fought dune worms at some point?

 

[Rat-attack]

someonebody42 I'm not sure what you're talking about.....? Are you asking why the translation was restarted? If so then the answer is simple, the editor version that myself and Loneranger used was not the one used by the Dev. As a result changes we made came with the risk that bugs could be introduced that we couldn't fix because they were be engine related. So when we found an version of the editor that matched what the Dev used we switched to that but had to reset. (We could look at the text done to transfer/refer back to it so it wasn't an complete reset) This post and the next few talked roughly about it though conversation did go to DM's afterwards.

---------------------

Translation progress update for 8th: Alright so first off I'm going to warn again that I'm pre-writing most of this as well....it's pretty clear to me that I'll have nothing to really say about the sprites (Those last ones were mostly them talking about what equipment they had) and instead this is going to be more about what's next now that I've finally completed my task that was preventing the translation from going to the next stage.

So what's this actually going to be about? Well I got some news half of it is probably already known/guessed while the other half isn't and also I'm presuming a fair bit. It's not good news too so I'm going to put it into a spoiler so if you just want what the next stage is going to be then you can avoid it however you will miss context and possible answers most likely you'll gain.

Spoiler: RIP THAT BANDAID OFF

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Now then what's next?

1. Well first I'm going to do an read through the sprite list that I just did...so yes I'm going through 483 sprites....again to just see if I spot any text I missed out on translating.
2. Next will be getting all the translation data into one package since we all worked on separate files that need to be put together to make an draft translation that's playable.
3. A play-through needs to be done to run through the story-line where I can't just ignore the text and mash buttons to skip but instead read it through and try to keep it all in mind and save often so if anything is out of place I can double check I didn't misread and so it's basically bookmarked.
4. Take any mistakes or anything out of place from 3. and attempt to correct/fix it.
5. Repeat 3 and 4 till it seems like the play-through is good text wise.
6. Late April Fools (I blame Artix0 due to this post) Nah actually it will be then looking at what needs to be done to finally get the proper F95 thread made so this is no longer in the "Development" area of the site and instead the "Adult Games" so everyone else knows this has finally been translated.

Timeline for this all is hard to say since really it's just 5. that is the time hungry hippo or the time snacking mouse that can make it be a few weeks or a few months. So that's why I say don't hold hopes currently for anything sooner than 3 months time, however the updates I'll be providing will be done via an new post (if the old post is more than 24 hours old) and once an step has been completed. This means that it could be 6 posts till release or several but means I have just made the obligation that I'll be saying when I'm starting an new playthrough run rather than saying "I'm in the playthrough hellscape" and then go silient without updates. This way if I vanish again hopefully there's more...signs that it's occured and someone realizes....although no one sent me any DM's on ULMF nor F95 about this.

I can also finally use these too!*:


*As it's the end of this stage of the translation project and the start of the next and hopefully fast final one.

8 Days remained to the self-imposed deadline, 0 sprites remain of the 483, 0 sprites a day to finish on time.

 

[Artix0]

You may have also noticed that Loneranger69 has been extremely absent from any mention recently in terms of the work done. Which well the reason for that is they've vanished after completing their work as the work they did was mainly on the BMP images and moving over what they translated when I went silent for the first time on ULMF.

> Translates every .bmp for Golden Planet, along with some other (I'm assuming stg4?) files
> Refuses to elaborate
> Vanishes into the ether



On a more serious note, I hope they're doing well wherever they are and that they disappeared out of choice!

I'm not sure where things got to at that stage, but if you need any more .bmp edits or if your playtesting reveals that existing ones need tweaking, I'd be more than happy to help out anytime as you push this beast over the finish line.

Excellent work from all three of you and good luck for this final hellscape victory lap!

 

[Red_Line]

Honestly the meandering, constantly changing, yet somehow consistent updates for this project have been a trip
This needs to be immortalized as much as the final translated game. It's been like reading a mini-story in itself with all of the hiccups, updates, and torch-passing.

Thanks as always to you three for your contributions and dedication to this project. Will probably feel nice to finally have this off your minds once its done

I believe all the .bmp files in use have been edited as they all appeared to be in their own isolated folder so all good there I believe but will keep in mind thank you.

Maybe instead of the changelog spoiler on the game page it will just be all the update posts about the development of the game....breaks the post as a result of it's length. (my ULMF starting post is LONG)

------------------------------

Alright and now to reset that clock....



Testing progress update for Step 1.1/6: So I'm not going to use dates anymore as it doesn't make sense in my mind to use them when I'm going to be going step by step....mostly since there's a loop clause. (It's why I'm doing 1.1 rather than just 1) Today I'm just putting this out as honestly I ain't done anything to work on this as my time has been engulfed by my RL issue still since I pushed it to the side as much as I could yesterday to get it done. (Owning pets as with most things have an drawback especially when they hate the stuff that helps them heal)
Maybe I'll do this for every step as kinda an prep/overview talk when starting an new step so I maybe also get an *break* day.....I'll take any suggestions/examples for how to better format the post so I can copy and paste while just redoing this talking bit for those that want to read what's happened while those that just want to know what's happened surmised can just read at the end of it.

I'm hoping in anycase for the checking to get roughly a 50 sprites done checking wise (not taking massive text heavy sprites into account like sprite 5) but I'll be happy with getting 25 done as well....it'll still get done faster than the doing the translation work itself since I'm just reading the text to see if I missed anything. However if I find I missed anything I wouldn't be surprised if I get 5 less sprites done at least as a result.
I have set the deadline to be 3 months since I threw that out there as like the earliest it could be done. (it was the first thing that came to mind and 2 months sounds just too short) But again I've no idea how long it could actually take. There's also a good chance during step 3 that stuff will be missed due to specific routing required for certain dialogue to be triggered.

PS I also just remembered with the last post that I slightly messed up with the Bandaid bit as ..... I said TragicSolitude did 200 ish files out of 300+ existing ones but I forgot when doing that to mention that when I did my intial translation attempt work 5-ish years ago I found several files to have no text at all in them. So I accidently might have under sold what TragicSolitude did since files without needing any changes don't get saved/modified so it's not possible to know if they were checked or not.....whoosp (Me dumb dumb and owes someone gum gum) but that's why I'm saying it now in an effort to correct that. (I'll also be editing the post to add that in)

Spoiler: The current plan

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

92 Days remain to the new estimate deadline (3 months), 1 days wasted/lost, 2 RL issues occured, 6 steps remain of 6, 0 play-through loops done, 0 game defeats, 0 corrections/missed text translated, 0 weird text to hunt for.

 

[Rat-attack]

Testing progress update for Step 1.2/6: So I haven't even gotten past sprite 4 and I'm questioning stuff....and makes sense since as I said in an earlier post I got to sprite 5 before my last vanishing. Past of my questioning is where sprite 4 has an specific text entry which I am going to have to find in-game I think to figure it out since nothing can figure out it's meaning 【?滂ｼ滂ｼ】の蝨ｰ蠖｢繝??繧ｿが完了しま　た　 my best guess is that it's mean to say something like 【Unknown Entity】Defeat method analyzed but I'm getting either no translation or errors. (which I think also is what the game is aiming for but....limited text space for me) I did get to sprite 75 before being forced to stop today due to the RL issue.

Something else is I've changed the bottom text (I edited the first post to be inline with it give or take) which I hope should cover most bases for stuff I might want to put there or others might be curious about. Fun fact I did this change before actually beginning this step so maybe my sub-conscious remembered about these first few sprites.
You'll see also that days wasted/lost is already very high and that is due to my RL issue (which is also being tracked) still ongoing and I don't expect to be finished at this point till maybe 5 more days at least but could take 9 more days if not longer. Could simply say false start and just consider this entire time as an big break/rest period but I have already started this first step as I said....so nope and didn't feel right with how I put forward the prior post. However this is why I said 3 months at earliest (and going off an extremely vague feeling) and said I got no idea actually how long it could take since first time.

Tested this one out on Deepseek and its response was interesting:



It could either be an intentional error message for if the game cannot locate or reference the specific event or entity it's mean to refer to, or it's supposed to look 'corrupted' like the data the character is receiving is garbled/interfered with lore-wise.

Just my best guesses as I haven't yet played the game (holding out for this translation! ) but I agree it's one of those things you may have to find in-game to get the context right!

If you do want to translate it to '【Unknown Entity】Defeat method analyzed ' for the time being and are struggling with text space, maybe something like '【Unknown】Weakness Analyzed ' could just about fit?

Regarding the RL issue, I hope all goes well for you and that life is smooth again soon. Feel free to include it in your progress tracker if you like to do so, but please don't feel any pressure regarding its effect on your efforts or self-set deadlines! You didn't choose for these issues to arise - and your life, health, and rest must always come first. (Otherwise there would be no Rat-attack, and thus no hope )

I've had a thought come to mind at to where it might trigger which if I'm right it would make sense and so then I do know what to put for it....though that depends on if it even fits. This is why you take breaks and don't do everything in one sitting and send it off without reviewing/reflecting on it.

Also while I understand not playing the game till the translation is complete, I can't say the same about reading my spoilers as they do have story related spoilage in them as the story is mostly guess-able without the translation with one exception. (Which also goes to show how text isn't everything for doing story telling) Some of my spoilers I think contain also neet little secrets too.

Including it on the progress tracker is a decision I made so it lets off some pressure I think since it's a way I can point to of how disrupted this final bit is/was at the end and the progress tracker is mean to be an summery quick read of what has happened. So if someone is just wanting to know if something big has happened they can look at it and make their own decision about going back to read the entire post. I can also feel less bad about not making much progress since it can remind me that I've had a lot of problems occur that have taken a lot of time to pass before I could do work on this again.

Also an general reason for the progress tracker is lets me look at the progress done more easily simplified when I start making the next update post and so sometimes realize that I went past an milestone without realizing it. (like how I got under 100 sprites left to translate in the post I said I wanted to aim for it) I did add the text to hunt for as an reminder thing for myself too and the game defeats as an funny thing for others but also a way to see if I have any rust to shake off.

Edit PS: Just to remind there is no progress update as an daily thing, instead it's if I feel like I've got something to say instead or an small step if not an full step progression has occurred....otherwise later on I'd be making posts where I'm just saying that I'm at such and such part of the playthrough once again. So there will be some silence from me for some days as a result.

 

[Naevera]

Getting so hyped for this... Thanks again for all your hard work.

 

[elodaloda]

I remember finding out about this game back on ULMF something like 4-5 years ago.
Yesterday the game game to mind again while workign on my Playnite library, so I took a quick look here and would you look at that, a complete translation is almost done now!

What a lucky coincidence

 

[Rat-attack]

Testing progress update for Step 2/6: Step 1 completed and just as well since I found 12 mistakes or text I missed. (If I remember correctly) Some were at the end as I half expected because you just want to finish and so you rush without realizing, others were just me correcting text that caught my eye and my brain just went "something ain't right with that....shouldn't it be this...?". So I am glad that I did decide to read back through my work though it took longer than I had initially hoped....as my personal issue has caused another 2 days to be wasted/lost and is set to take another 2 weeks at least since I underestimated a part of it. I did end up spending more time on some days to make up for those lost days (I think I did 150 and 100 sprites in two different days rather than keeping to my 50 per day aim)

But now I can do step 2 which honestly I am not doing an 2.1 for as it's just me putting files together before I can do step 3. So there's no need in my view to do an progress update except to say that I've begun step 3 which as a reminder I expect to be the longest to complete especially as it's my first play-through of the game in 5 years if not longer and I'm going to be reading the text instead of skipping and nearly speed-running through the game. I'll say more when that update post is written up after doing step 2 but for now I'll take a rest day as it's sat well with me to do so rather than attempting to focus on this every day for maybe the next 3 months or however long it takes to finish. There'll be more frequent or the same amount of update posts during step 3 depending on what happens so those that want more often updates rejoice....because I'll be using them as notes for completing step 4. (Though as a reminder if I need to post again within an 24 hour period of the last update then I'll be editing said update post.....same goes for if I edited the post too albeit unlikely)

Also as something to cause conversation to occur in the meantime....does anyone know or have an checklist for step 6? (or any information about step 6)
Since having that information prior to reaching that step it would make it so I'd have to research less and presume less....and even avoid bothering the staff themselves about questions I have to get that step done so the translation is finished.

[Squishy ladies enjoyer]

I made one imaginary Oc of mine in my head [using arts and text files]. She is a strong robot with a lot of parts from Grimlock from Transformers fall of cybertron as a base. If I remember correctly, in this game u can do sort of a tank build, but main things from TFoC that I want and this game probably have is: shield, sword, flamethrower, flying drone. Would love to play it with full eng trans. Thank you Rat-attack for your hard work.

1. Release-prep: It will be then looking at what needs to be done to finally get the proper F95 thread made so this is no longer in the "Development" area of the site and instead the "Adult Games" so everyone else knows this has finally been translated.

AFAIK (and anyone please correct me if I'm wrong!) it should be pretty simple:

1. Mark this Translation thread as 'Complete' (technically it should already be marked as 'In Progress' but it's not too important). As thisisash6969 is the thread owner, they can do this themselves or you can report the thread once you've posted the full translation and just use the 'Other' option then explain that it's been translated.
   
   
2. Create a game thread in Adult Games > Games using one of the first two methods in the Sticky Post

Either of this works. Simply reporting the thread should get a mod to come make the game thread themselves, but it's always helpful to create the game thread properly and then report it so a mod can just approve it without having to create it themselves.

Either way works, though if I'm reading this right the translation is around three months out so we're kinda of jumping the gun by a ton with this discussion, lol.

 

[Rat-attack]

Yep but I have no plans nor expecting to have any time to look at doing it until the translation was done. So having the process made clear prior to getting to that point means I don't have to do much if any work on finding out. Plus means people can talk about it or make suggestions about it....since I would like to make the thread since there's stuff that would be useful if added to it rather than it being default.
As I have the an community made guide and mostly full saves (I need to re-check how complete they are) which have been asked for multiple times in the past on here and ULMF.
TLDR: this is something that I can have the average joe help me with while I work on the translation.

Which BTW here's the template for making an new thread, I'll add this to the next progress update post which I'll also fill it with information I know is needed (without much thought/work) and suggestions for it. But yeah in the meantime go ahead and suggest stuff to put into various parts of it I guess, also tags.

Testing progress update for Step 3.1/6: So I am late with this for two reasons, firstly I had an wasted/lost day occur. (which half occurred when trying to do this write up) The second is when I did put the files together and booted up the game to try and test if I got all the files in one place working...I found instantly some untranslated text. Text which I then was extremely puzzled by as to where it was hidden as I thought it was kept in the map file and that some text was missed there....but uh nope....I found it after I found out how to translate the System.dat which uh stored that text. (I also rechecked the BMP files and something feels off with them so I might need them changed slightly with Artix0 's help after I do the first play-through as I'll know the story better than ever before then...hopefully)

So I already have text to translate for step 4 but I was expecting it though ..... just not in step 2 ... but now I have my first play-through to do .... which my plans for doing update posts during the play-through step is currently to post after each session IF I have changes needing to be done so I can have an spoiler/notes/thoughts to refer back to. (It's why I've mentioned the system.dat stuff above) Also so I can update the progress tracker at the bottom of the post a bit more...frequently as I have actually missed doing the daily countdown of the days although it makes sense as I had nothing to say.

Now I do have something else to say and that's for those that wish to help possibly with the translation as if you've seen the past few posts between this and the previous update post you'll know that part of completing step 6 is making an new thread. However I currently don't plan to do any work on this until that step since it could be ages off, but it doesn't mean I can't ask for help with drafting up the first post by asking for yourselves help. You'll find the current draft in the below spoiler, I have to start it off put in basic no brainer information (Mainly taken from this thread's first post), if you want to suggest a change then just copy the draft and change it and post (suggest thread tags too if you want), when I see it while making the next update post I'll add the changes.
I'm hoping that this will at the very least will make step 6 quicker to complete and be a tiny bump in the road.

PS I was also reminded that I forgot another thing with the Bandaid bit of this post so to correct that....again. So I forgot to give mention of the first person who helped me with the translation work: Cell943
As when I was doing 0.1 and 0.2 versions on ULMF as they helped me verify the google translations I was getting (since I was pretty much only using that at the time) as they knew actual japanese. Sadly they went dark before I posted 0.2 I believe so they've been long out of the picture and haven't directly contributed to since then but they did help and I want to acknowledge them for it. Because they helped me then verify some of my translation guesswork I was doing at the start.
