Ys I & II Chronicles+

[csanchez]

I would like to know how to manipulate the files of this game and be able to translate it into Spanish.
I'm using the GOG release.

Heh I found the ysext_xsoext in the site, however I can't found any download link

Also I found a "YSO Stuff V0.3", but also there are no download links to this

Ah, thank you very much Ekey.

I have managed to extract everything from data_ys1.na, now I can see (I think all) images with text, however I can't find any xso file, that from what I could understand contains all the dialog strings of the game.

Unlike Luigi's video with YS6, where there are only the .na and .ni files, this "Ys I & II Chronicles+" have several .dat files and an .nu file also (check first image in the topic).

I wonder what these .ni and .nu files are for.

This is the file list from data_ys1.na extract

Hi, something?

[Ekey]

Sorry, but I do not know about the files that are inside the archives.

[csanchez]

I see, well is ok, I guess I need wait an answer from Luigi.
Thanks Ekey.

Heh, I hadn't noticed before, the .dat files are just the game videos.

I took a look at this, the texts are actually inside [root]/ETC/SCENA.DAT, but each byte of text is XOR'd against 0xA5, the actual format of the file is fairly simple:

Code: Select all

//int = 4 bytes
int line_amount //Amount of lines in the file
int text_size      //Size of the text section file_size - 8 - (line_amount * 4)
int line_lenghts[line_amount] //some lengths are -1 (0xFFFFFFFF), these get ignored

And after that the actual text (XOR with 0xA5 to get the real text), each line delimited by their length
 

Can this be converted with a quickbms script? Atached is the actual SCENA.DAT, for testing.

Also, kinda related, rebuilding the whole data_ys1.na archive with ysext.exe makes the game unable to boot, had to use -a can this be fixed?

Hi csanches, did you manage to extract and import the SCENA texts?

I managed to resolve the issue of texts, now all that's left is to resolve the fonts.
