Concealed the Conclusion English Patch 0.7214 - AWA 19 edition (2013-08-29)

[Arcorann]

This is a revival of the Concealed the Conclusion English Patch project for versions 2.00 to 2.01. The patch is currently on version 0.7214 as of 28 September 2013. Download link may be found at wherever my last post is.

All feedback is appreciated. Installation instructions and full changelog may be found in the readme.

I am currently looking for people willing to translate the remaining spell card and music comments for the next version. Translating The Alternative Age would be nice, as well.

Why am I doing this now, you ask? A picture is worth a thousand words:



Yes, I have found a way to replace the data in the TTH_*.dat files. The files were generated with this script; it requires a couple of files from the THCCL to run properly. I'll explain how it all works soon.

[MrBigz]

Awsum sauce.   :3

[Arcorann]

I completed my script for viewing the contents of the TTH_*.dat files, which can be found here. Depending on where your files are stored you may have to change some of the paths referenced (the same includes as before are required). Use left and right keys to scroll, hold Shift for a slower scroll speed, press C to advance files. This script should make it easier for transcribing any text necessary.

Using the script I have created a summary of what the IDs in each file represent. The first set (0-538) is common to all files. Asterisks mark those that would be retained in an English patch.

Since I just extracted the text items in the TTH_*.dat files into a text file using a script, I feel it's about the right time for that explanation on how these items are stored in Danmakufu.

Each of the TTH_*.dat files is saved common data that contains one three-dimensional array called TEX_TEXT_CACHE, which is loaded into memory and then copied into the variable m_aCLTTCValue by LoadTTC().
The structure of the array m_aCLTTCValue is as follows: Each element of the array contains the data to produce one text item, in the form of a two-dimensional array. This array contains seven elements, each of which is an array that contains one element per character in the text item:
* File ID number. -1 is Font.png (for ASCII), while 0, 1 and 2 are for Shift-JIS.
* X-value of the top left corner of the character to be drawn
* Y-value of the top left corner of the character to be drawn
* Width of the character to be drawn
* Height of the character to be drawn
* Gap between this character and the next
* Vertical spacing
The drawing functions use these attributes to draw the text character by character.

As for the way I extracted the data from the common data file, detailed structure will probably come later.

[Lukesky180]

I think that 580 would be how long you have played the game.

EDIT: ID 580 can have 2 possibilities: The time you have when facing (White) Reimu, or the amount of time you have played; the game records that.

[Arcorann]

Actually, I worked out where ID 580 was used a while ago. It appears if you reach Ending 1 for a brief moment after the screen fades to black.

While we wait for someone to translate the spell card comments and endings (all of which are now on Touhou Wiki), does anyone have the files from the previous patching effort (i.e. with the replaced dialogue)?

[MrBigz]

Prime 2.0 sent this to me awhile back, I think it has most of the translations done. I saw some grammatical errors in there though. He also said:

I still need to do some major cleanup there, particularly in Scenario A which has my earliest work, and extra/phantasm where I just put in a bunch of crap based on my own preference.

[Arcorann]

First release! Just in time for C82... though it is a little rushed.

Version 0.32.

EDIT: Was expecting a little more feedback than this. Come on, surely someone wants to complain about the badly line-broken stage descriptions, the spellcard names that are cut off, how the music title font size is now smaller than the original (for the English titles anyway), etc.

Expect a new version next week, maybe.

[Lukesky180]

You, sir, have made something out of everyone's hands. Who knew how long it even took to get prepared for the patch, then the problems with the encryption. I thank you very much.

Now, onto the dirty stuff. I have noticed a lack of using CtC's text in the character dialogues. Also, I can fix Reimu and Marisa's dialogue in Stage 6 for you. I have already translated it properly. But otherwise, awesome! I can sees spellcards now.

Thank you! I wish I hadn't forgotten about it for several months though, this could have been released a lot earlier.

Now, onto the dirty stuff. I have noticed a lack of using CtC's text in the character dialogues. Also, I can fix Reimu and Marisa's dialogue in Stage 6 for you. I have already translated it properly. But otherwise, awesome! I can sees spellcards now.

Re: CtC's character dialogues - the original used the inbuilt dialogue system. I see no reason to change it.
Re: Stage 6 - if you're referring to the translation of the last pair of lines, any suggestions would be appreciated - just remember that it needs to fit in 39 characters each. If you're referring to another issue (I didn't test this, remember?), please give more details.

Also, Version 0.329. Changelog:
- Fixed up player bomb names
- Edits to readme
- Added extension to readme

Still untested, so any feedback will be appreciated. I'll make more significant changes later.

EDIT: Versions 0.32 and 0.329 have been recalled due to broken dialogues causing desyncs. Given that I guaranteed this yet didn't test it, surely someone should have checked? You people aren't very good testers.  :V

I'll try to put through a fixed version as fast as possible.

[Lukesky180]

Oops.

[Arcorann]

0.333_interim - rolls back a number of dialogues to Prime 2.0's version, some changes to the cached text. Guaranteed to sync with unpatched 2.01. This is just an interim release because it'll take me longer than expected to fix the dialogues. Feedback is appreciated.

[Lukesky180]

Yay! I'll test it now and edit this post with feedback.

[Arcorann]

Version 0.367. Untested once again, please check everything syncs.

Now that I've (hopefully) sorted that out, I'm putting out a call for any translators who are willing to work on this project. Currently there are well over 300 spell card comments to be translated, as well as almost all music comments and all three endings. Eventually I want to insert translations for all the Japanese in the game, including interface elements. Endings should be a priority right now.

[Lukesky180]

I'm translating the endings on the Touhou Wiki currently.

[Kaze_Senshi]

In Which wiki are you translatiing? I wanna see if I can help with some parts.

[Arcorann]

In Which wiki are you translatiing? I wanna see if I can help with some parts.

The English one, obviously.

As it turns out I'd also like someone to check the translation of the spell card names. I've already found a few glaring errors, and I'm not even a translator.

[JmLyan]

The English one, obviously.

There are two english wiki's...

[Arcorann]

There are two english wiki's...

You mean http://en.touhouwiki.net/ and http://touhou.wikia.com/? :V

Seriously, it should be obvious.

[Kaze_Senshi]

You mean http://en.touhouwiki.net/ and http://en.touhouwiki.net/? :V

Seriously, it should be obvious.

That is strange, when I try to copy the Touhou Wikia's link, it becomes the touhouwiki link. Maybe you are not considering the wikia as a wiki, anyway change the "*" to "." and you'll see that there are two "wikis"

http://en*touhouwiki*net
http://touhou*wikia*com

[Hyunkel]

Thank you very much for the patch

Do you have plans to translate Alternative age in the future?

[Arcorann]

Re: the wiki, in November 2010 the Touhou Wiki officially moved off that one wiki farm. Clearly then, that wiki no longer exists and anyone who claims otherwise is in denial. :V

Re: The Alternative Age, if I can find a translator and someone who can identify the font used in the spell card and music names, I will be happy to put one through.

[Kaze_Senshi]

I tried to translate some spellcards descriptions from stage 1B, feel free for edit anything

Roger that   :V

[Arcorann]

Version 0.383. Mostly minor changes.

A reminder that I am still looking for someone to translate the endings to insert into the next version, as well as other text including spell card and music comments. Any help is appreciated.

[Kaze_Senshi]

I did more translations here : http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Concealed_the_Conclusion/Spell_Cards/Stage_2B

BTW is there some "Discussion topic" in this wiki like in traditional wiki about this topic. For example, if I want to get others opinion before to change one spellcard name I could post my question there:

Anyway my question is, I think that the correct translation of  天符 「太陽凝視法」isn't 'Heaven Sign "Stare at the Sun"', but it is 'Heaven Sign "Sun Gazing Method"'. What do you think?

Well, as with all pages in the wiki you can post queries on the Talk page. However, it might take a while to get a response.

As for translations, let me remind you that I'm not actually a translator, so I don't know enough Japanese to confirm this; the best I can do is plug stuff into WWWJDIC. Perhaps checking with people in the Touhou Translations thread would be a good idea.

Are you willing to have a look at the endings?

Hmmm for me all review and criticism is welcome because my english isn't too good
Anyway I'll try to ask about it later in the Touhou Translations thread.

I'm translating the endings on the Touhou Wiki currently.

Well someone said that was translating the endings at the wiki, the last edit on the page (http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Concealed_the_Conclusion/Story/Endings) was in " 29 August 2012, at 07:58" so it looks like he stopped the translation, I'll wait more for see if he wanna come back to action before I take a look at the endings because it's easier to translate than the spellcards description xP

[Lukesky180]

That was me translating them. I will continue as soon as I have free time.

[Lukesky180]

Ok so endings 1 and 2 are completely translated, by yours truly~

I will find time really soon to translate the slightly more complicated Ending 3.

[Arcorann]

Do you mind if someone checks the ending translations you've done before they're inserted into the patch? I ask because there are some sections where I am rather concerned about the accuracy.
