Labyrinth of Touhou 2 and 10F

[Xarizzar]

Oh. Then, it's released.

[Kuilfrayt]

Not yet, they mentionned on the website that they wanted to release the patch before day 3 of Comiket to fix any bugs they found and unfinished parts, so still waiting on the game.
But there is img2.dxa so there's gonna be new stuff to translate in images most likely

[qazmlpok]

There is absolutely new stuff to translate, since there's 16 floors that weren't in the latest demo.

The game is not yet released. It is not on melonbooks or dlsite. C84 day 3 begins in 2.5 hours. Maybe that's when they'll appear digitally. Or maybe tomorrow at 11 am EST. When I'm at work.

16 more? guess that answers my question of hao many floors this one is gonna be.

[MewMewHeart]

16 more? guess that answers my question of hao many floors this one is gonna be.

Maybe 20 like the last LoT, this is just my guess based off the last LoT's floors before the other 2 discs.

[Validon98]

No, it's supposed to have like 22 floors or something. I think. I don't remember.
Also, I've never said anything about it before, but man, this game lags so much on my computer. Holy crap. I don think that'll be fixed in the final version either. It's kind of a shame but oh well?

[Sungho]

Have you tried setting 画面効果 to OFF in the options menu?

[Validon98]

I've had that setting off forever. It's not that.

[RegalStar]

As soon as you can, forward me another text dump as well, cause i find it really useful. Since I'm buying a physical copy of the game and not downloading it, I won't have it for a while, so work on it without that would be hard to start eh

I would also like to pitch in my help as well, so please forward me a text dump too please.

[The Krve]

Gensokyo's images done.

Despite my sloppiness, some, if not all of them came out better than expected.
Except Keine's School  :colonveeplusalpha:

[Kuilfrayt]

I was curious, what sort of program do you use to open and modify .dxa files?

And while comic sans is the font of pure and unfiltered fun, the new one looks damn much better now.

[The Krve]

I got it from qaz. You can ask him about it.

[Averaen]

Also I wouldn't expect a quick English patch. It's going to be a really big game. This is going to take a while to finish, potentially nasty hacking to be done, and tons of time of playtesting. Which people can volunteer for when the time comes and not right now, although I do insist that beta patches be kept private and not given to everyone freely. I had enough trouble with that crap with LoT1.

Is this thread the place to watch for when you need beta testers?  I've got a lot of free-time, an LoT obsession and am technically savvy.

Also related, I've never purchased a game from Japan again, what's a good place to order a copy of LoT2 from?

[Ghaleon]

I found the game on melonbooks now if someone is still looking for it there.
http://shop.melonbooks.co.jp/shop/detail/213001013702

But yeah, seems you should order from dlsite or melonbooks, I don't know how to do either yet meself yet, never made an account. There's prob some youtube videos or something on how to do that though. I'll check myself once I get the required casheses.

melonbooks.co.jp is the store for physical items. That's for buying an actual CD.

I'm looking for it on melonbooks.com, which is a digital store. And it's not listed yet.

it's on dlsite as an annoucement still and is not for sale.

[Averaen]

Does Melonbooks ship to NA?

oh curses, I didn't know that, thanks

[qazmlpok]

No. If you want a physical copy, you need to find a deputy. You can ask NForza in his thread Here. He's swamped with orders right now, but I think he's still taking orders from physical shops. It'd probably take a while, though.

If you don't care if you get a physical copy or not, I'd recommend just waiting for the digital version. It'll be a lot cheaper and probably quicker as well.

I definitely want a physical copy, that's the whole point Thanks for the help.

[Fishin]

:getdown: aaaaaaaaaaa when's the digital release

[qazmlpok]

I suddenly remembered the very simple fact that 3peso has absolutely no idea how to do proper patches, meaning that the 1.10 patch contains the full executable.

So yeah. I don't have the game, but here's the complete string dump. It's unfiltered, so there's tons of useless crap, and it's probably really unorganized.

http://www.mediafire.com/?7q4vk63oai1ym1u

[Kuilfrayt]

It doesn't look too bad, the useless stuff is pretty much kept together, and it looks all sorted in hex order, other than for some random numbers that don't make no sense for me, but it seems that all texts are together where they should be. What I'll do is put my translation directly on it on an excel file so it'll be easier to find stuff

Btw, anyone would have better translation for
結界の魔術師見習い？ - The Magician who can See Through Barriers?
and
星詠みの学徒 - Star-Reading Student
It's Maribel and Renko's "classes"

[Steveroxyou]

I have no idea how you unlock her.  This was from hex editing the save file.

You can't spoiler images, so here's the plain link.

Edit: Oh wow, this goes on for a while.  Welp, here's a bunch of datamined characters and their slots.  They look like they mostly have all their abilities too?

THIS IS VERY LIKELY THE FULL CAST; BE WARNED OF SPOILERS

Starting from slot 27...

Spoiler:

27. China
28. Alice
29. Patchy
30. Eirin
31. Reisen
32. Sanae
33. Iku
34. Suika
35. Ran
36. Remilia
37. Sakuya
38. Kanako
39. Suwako
40. Tenshi
41. Flandre
42. Yuyuko
43. Yuuka
44. Yukari
45. Byakuren
46. Shikieiki
47. Renko
48. Maribel

This confirms my suspicions that every character from LoT1 is making a return.

So the characters new to LoT2 are:

Kogasa
Momiji
Byakuren
Kasen
Parsee
Satori
Hina
Nazrin

I can confirm that the file you provided in this post is indeed all the characters in the game as of v1.100. Sadly

Spoiler:

Maribel, Renko, or Flan

either aren't working with the current file or just not working period. Looking at

Spoiler:

Flan's

skills will crash the game and

Spoiler:

Renko's

don't even show up but don't crash the game. However, all the other characters have their skills displayable, but i haven't tested them out in combat yet to see if they'll work well or not.  Here is an image showing off some of the characters

If you're planning on translating stuff to actually be inserted into the game, you'll need to keep it in a strict format so my tools can handle it. The best solution would be to just replace the text, leaving the numbers the same. Alternatively, if you do want to keep the original translation, you can do "<Japanese text> <hard return> <English text> <hard return> <hard return> ", i.e:

Japanese text
English text

Japanese text
English text

Japanese text
English text


etc. CSVs aren't a good idea in general, since the translation itself will assuredly contain commas, quotation marks, etc. I recall the Strawberry Bose people having enough trouble with that.

[Kuilfrayt]

So, kinda like that?
http://www.mediafire.com/?chpsdon1h444sh0

The first one is just replacing the japanese text
The second one is the japanese text, and then insert another line with the english text
The third one is using and excel "hard return" alt-enter to make them fit in one line/cell

I can also just go to notepad instead, I was using excel at first because it allowed me to order the first text dump you posted

[qazmlpok]

uh, should've clarified.

Text file.

I honestly don't know how to deal with excel. The second option I described should look like this: http://pastebin.com/Da6RxurF

詠み doesn't mean read, it means to compose or to chant (specifically regarding poetry I think), not sure which would make more sense in context.

Maribel's is probably "The Apprentice Barrier Magician"

[Kuilfrayt]

Alright I'll put it on text file

As for the translation, 詠み does means chanting, but I've gone for now with reading because the classes are character's titles and are most of the time related to their powers or role in the Gensokyo's universe. Since Renko is able to tell the time and her location by looking at the moon and stars, I went with that translation, since the other one didn't make much sense. (Star-Chanting Student sounds weird)

[LadyScarlet]

Anyone have a final Chara folder? Please post it here, if you will. Thanks a lot.

[Kuilfrayt]

Qaz, do you have the japanese list of spells for Maribel and Renko, I'll compare the spell names I have and use the one used in LoT1 if they are the same.
