(Feel free to reupload it somewhere else, pixeldrain, mega, gofile, whatever. My internet is very bad and it takes me the whole day to upload things online. Plus I think the file host is temporary and can delete file if they aren't downloaded a lot...)
well it not translate all of the gameplay .-.

has anyone here run into an issue with this game before, where it either crashes on start, or the menu keeps cycling up? i was playing fine, but all of a sudden it crashed. now it usually crashes when i try to start it, or on the off chance it does open, the menu is constantly changing, as if the up arrow is being held down (which it isn't).

i've tried deleting game files and re-extracting, as well as tried from different hard drives. same issue persists. even with the original untranslated version of the game

If some parts (other than images) are untranslated please lmk. I didn't catch any non English strings but there may be some I just didn't know yet. It would help me a lot ! Thanks
so far aside from the usual map selection being untranslated (2 options there one being cancel and the other confirm or something like that) the other untranslated parts might be:
-first line of commander of pioneer army in conversation that happens directly after rescuing the mechanic from ksg. on english locale look for a strings in a file called 0C_ArmyHQ.stg4_1020 :
@yŠJ‘ñŒRŽi—ߊ¯z@
@‚ ‚ A—ˆ‚Ä‚‚ꂽ‚©B@ <-- those are next to each other

-another could be a jumbled text in repair stations that are in the area where star furnace is (but maybe its intended behaviour as those terminals are supposed to be corrupted or really old?? no idea)

-one explanation with regards to new game plus is completly untranslated. its the option of carrying over ammo.

-epilog is untranslated

as a bonus im linking few bmp files i "translated" myself. it includes all bmp menus except for the archive as i dont know japanese so i wouldnt even know what to write there xD. mind you this is not direct translation, i just checked what said menu does and tried to give the best description i can without intruding into interface too much and without making inconsistences within translation itself. to use unpack this into root folder of the game. it should replace some files in "update" folder.

Hello !
You can drop the stg4_1020 here and get a JSON, it's much easier to work with : (or roll locally with the auto translate scripts ) than shiftjis text represented as ascii ! (Plus you can swap text in json, repack and continue translation by yourself if you feel like it :) )

Yes, the terminal text. This one made me think my text extractor was wrong, but it was intentional and made me go insane for a whole night xD The current text looks weird, and I'm an uninspired RE not a translator so anything that could be done better feel free to patch it and distribute it !

About the new game plus, I haven't played that far. I only played pass the intro sequence and the tutorial level, then thought "let's open this and get feedbacks from play testers !". Now we see what it does! If you manage to get the one that's untranslated, feel free to point the file (or even the text ! Or the translation :))

Epilog and various UI elements are untranslated, but I found a " Loneranger69" that did translate them, so I merged them.

The issue with untranslated elements on the world map, is because System.dat didn't get "terms" translated (can see them here: )
I'm attaching a version with fixed translations (hopefully ?)

Also try this "bmp.7z" extracted into the "update" folder (the update folder works with the RE7 mod loader that overlays files from the original bmp folder, allowing for safe swap and mods isolation ! There's also the "scripts" folder that allows hooking, if you remove the asi_minhook_test.asi in it, you'd get back to "full length" font for example. Useful to capture some japanese text that didn't get translated)

Thanks a lot for your feedback :)

Nearly 100% Save for those who have better things to do with ~20 hours. Should have a fully unlocked free gallery, most of the weapons, completed story, all of the rare resources, most modules, and frankly busted stats (Resource grinding gets stupid easy once you've been in LVL 4 and up areas for a little bit). I haven't tried ng+ so I don't know if there's anything different.

Having been through the whole game I can say the translation worked basically all the way through, apart from some scenes where all the characters for the dialogue were just boxes. I haven't played with the patch in #287 so that might fix that.

The whole thing was a lot of fun and I'm glad I got to enjoy it. I've made sure to go and purchase Acid's newest game to get the new update for that (It's also really good). The old guide from ULMF was pretty useful. I had to do some digging with the editor (the semi-translated one was a huge help) to find some stuff because without going through cleared areas again and again you might not catch certain details. If anyone is stuck anywhere I've got a pretty good idea of what to do most of the time (though a lot of it is going to be "just keep going in that direction.").

If I had more time I might try my hand at figuring out the editor more and maybe attempt backporting the voices from Mihashira, but alas I am too busy.

JUST IN CASE you are as dumb as me,
if you get to the floating base, you DON"T need to scout the whole fucking map for every possible companion for hire (or whatever the fuck reinforcements could mean)
when you get to the trigger on the right, you can go to the blue dude (whom, i hope you saved from the jungle) and ask him to help, OR you can go solo.
in any case when you touch the trigger, the protag will say something about a sneak attack, blah blah, impenetrable fortress, whatever, JUST GO RIGHT. FULL FORCE FORWARD. Because if you back up a bit, and reenter the trigger, the same dialogue will repeat.
And the mission/quest wont update, even though you've already reached the asteroid belt and the hidden floating fortress itself.

Save yourself and save your time... I wasted for OD DAMN hours. or more. I can't tell anymore. Don't skip out on a night's sleep brothers...

its in the file TestNG-1.stg4_1020 and can post instruction how to find the second untranslated part i mentioned, the one with untranslated carry over ammo option description.
1. finish the game or get a save with finished story (there are a few in this thread)
2. pick a map called "next cycle" that is in the topmost part of the planet
3. there is an option to carry over ammunition. highlight it and press Z to see kanji xD
4. all other option descriptions there are properly translated. only that specific one isnt.

so far i didnt find any other issues and attached system.dat works flawlessly in all menu's

thanks for sharing those files.

I prefer the first one.
i see:sneaky:. fyi the first one is from the bmp translation file i posted in my reply to TokenFoxxed. im glad at least one person agrees my "work" is cleaner xD The second one is from Loneranger69. Both versions can be freely mixed and matched. Regardless, anyone, who wants to, can take their pick now.

this is not true, there are 2 companions that can help as support additionally to the one companion that follows the player. then you go to rocky area and ask them for help during assault. the ones that can help have separate dialog option activated by key D.

Is it possible to softlock yourself out of getting to the volcano? My save has around an hour or two on it and a lot of stuff done, but my mission objective is "Search the planet for beacons" and I have the amber cave beacon, the one you get after defeating the big gorilla guy in the colonist base, and the one after beating AET in the second bandit base, totaling in at three. I cant find anymore and the volcano is sealed off for me.

Have you been to the crystal caves yet?
They are a level 4 area while the volcano is level 5.
If you don't know where to go, look at the world map in the pioneer archives.

there are 5 beacons to collect before the volcano becomes open to exploration

Yeah, I have, and I've even beaten the boss there, the crystal knight, and I've explored the slime caves below and beaten the mecha guy down there, but I haven't found any beacon.
