Frequently Asked Questions and Problems (Tech Questions Go Here!)

Re: Frequently Asked Questions and Problems (Tech Questions Go Here!)

If my computer can run League of Legends well enough, I don't see how RPG maker games can crash due to lack of memory >_>

EDIT: Ran Malwarebytes last night; the cleaning went fine, problem still remained.

Keep in mind that there is no variation to when the games crash- it's always at the same points, depending on what events I trigger, in battle or otherwise.

Drivers up to date? Particularly graphics card. Some antivirus doing weird things during instal?

None of these.

Proof: I finally got fed up with my friends being unable to loan me their laptops for even 5 minutes this week, so I installed some VMs. Turns out, the games work fine on VMs, but will not work correctly on my actual Lenovo hardware.

So yeah, it would be nice to get a solution to this; running Translation Aggregator and an RPGmaker game at the same time on a VM absolutely murders the framerate.

Re: Frequently Asked Questions and Problems (Tech Questions Go Here!)

OK, so I got bored the other day and thought I'd try my hand at doing a few translations for RPG Maker games. I managed to use DreaMaker to convert the data files, then extracted them to a dialogue.txt file. The problem comes when actually trying to translate any of the characters within the document. I use Translator Aggregator, mostly sticking to the ATLAS and JParser windows, but ATLAS just keeps giving me [****] and Jparser doesn't give me any type of definition for the characters either (no hover definition.)

I should note that it's not the story I'm attempting to translate, but parts of the interface and shop screens from this game here
http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/showthread.php?t=22732

So did I do something wrong with extracting the files to the .txt document, is there a better translator program that I should be using, or am I going in the entirely wrong direction for what I'm wanting to translate in the game?

Also note that I'm not trying to simply translate the text outside the game so I can understand it (I know how to use TA to do that) but actually trying to change parts of the interface IN the game to English.. To give more of an example as to what I'm trying to change: item names, skill names, yes/no/explanation choices in Free battle etc.

Here's an example of the characters I'm actually seeing in the dialogue file

Also, I am aware of the interface translation patch made by bakasaru, I am simply trying to expand on what he/she has already done and also learn more about how to translate RPG Maker games so that I might could do more in the future (this game just so happens to be the one I started with. Also I like tactical RPGs )

Re: Frequently Asked Questions and Problems (Tech Questions Go Here!)

That's broken.
No where is that Japanese.

Either use Applocale before extracting or convert the text file to proper unicode settings first.

Re: Frequently Asked Questions and Problems (Tech Questions Go Here!)

Turns out all I needed to do to fix the problem was use a better, more advanced text editor. Opened it in Edit Pad Lite 7 and now it's in proper Japanese.

However, it did automatically change the text encoding to UTF-8, so you weren't wrong about changing the unicode of the file. And I may not have found Senor Kaffee's video talking about Edit Pad and text encoding unless you had planted the idea of the text encoding in my mind. So many thanks man

I have exactly this problem but only with the Google window. Atlas, Honyaku, Excite all work as normal. It's really hard to search for information on the topic and it seems like it isn't widespread, but damn is it a pain in the ass.

This started happening to me a while ago too and I'm having as much luck as you are in finding a solution. I was really excited when my searched yielded results and now I'm sad again.

Re: Frequently Asked Questions and Problems (Tech Questions Go Here!)

I suppose this is a tech question?

I have a game that I can extract the datafile from the executable. But what I really want to do is open that datafile and see what's inside, and pretty much depack it if possible. Does anyone know where I should start in trying to do this? The file itself has no type, so I assume it's just a lump of a lot of stuff.

What should I do to get what I need (presumably sprites/sprite sheets, I don't know how they're stored, really) out of here. I've never disassembled/depacked an executable.

It's an eroge, of course, hence my asking here.

Re: Frequently Asked Questions and Problems (Tech Questions Go Here!)

I have the same problem wit google. I guess they changed their api.

dienow what game Engine are you talking about? what is the picture of the executable? what are all the extensions?

Translation program errors

I feel bad for making a post that doesn't involve presentinga new game and leaving a link or two for them.

Here's the issue.
I usually translate games with chiitrans.
Lately I get an error from Dieselmine games, the "couldn't connect to server"

I tried the same with translator aggregator but the program crashes.

The games in question are

http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/showthread.php?t=25066

I was wondering if anyone has found a program that works or a way to make those two work And while we are here .. if there is any other game that is troublesome to translate via software, this would be a good place to trade solutions.

Re: Frequently Asked Questions and Problems (Tech Questions Go Here!)

I don't know the game engine. It's the one for Vita's Great Escape. Program library uses LUA. Picture of exe is an icon contained within the exe. Self-contained executable. I used 7zip to open the executable, but the primary file inside is a file with no extension. Just a huge file.

No idea how to proceed. Usually, if the file has an extension, I can figure out what tool to use, but I'm at a loss.

Google made their translation tool unavailable to third-party programs due to "gross abuse," whatever that means.

Re: Translation program errors

If you're using the Google side of Chiitrans, Google no longer allows third-party programs to use its services.

Re: Translation program errors

And that explains what's wrong with my AGTH.

umh... nope... that's not it.
Besides chiitrans would stop functioning with all games, not just a couple.

Re: Frequently Asked Questions and Problems (Tech Questions Go Here!)

Translator Aggregator also can't use Google. So its probable Google no longer supports it.

Re: Frequently Asked Questions and Problems (Tech Questions Go Here!)

It was probably here a milion times,but .. is there a way to unzip japanese games without having japanese unicode settings ?

Re: Frequently Asked Questions and Problems (Tech Questions Go Here!)

Change your computer to Japanese non-unicode settings.

Leave it that way.

Convince uploaders to start using 7zip.
7zip supports unicode.

Other than that, change system to japanese unicode settings.

Re: Frequently Asked Questions and Problems (Tech Questions Go Here!)

I want jparser to translate without me needing to hover my mouse over each word. How? Do i need chiitrans?

Re: Frequently Asked Questions and Problems (Tech Questions Go Here!)

Hi there. I have a question related to this site.
I don't know if it's ulmf or my computer, because it's also happening on google, but there's many other sites that it's happening.
Yesterday, I turned on my comp and came here to check on a thread. As soon as I clicked on the thread hyperlink a pop-up triggered and a new window was open. I didn't pay much atention, but then that got me thinking. This never happened before... and then I went to google and there was advertising at the bottom of the page...
Today I came back here, after rebooting my browser and it's advertising links everywhere, words like money, games, download, etc are doubled and they have hyperlinks redirecting you to advertising websites.
Is anyone else having this problem? I hope I'm not the only one, cause if I am it means I have a huge problem on my comp then x.x

Edit* Well, scratch that. The problem was on my comp, I had some kind of malware installed on my comp
This is weird, because I wasn't prompted for anything and software just installs automatically? My anti-virus didn't even fire anything (I'm not too surprised there though) and my comp is always offline when I'm not in front of it, in order to avoid problems like these.
