Realta Nua Mobile

[aldeayeah]

This thread is for discussing the hacking and hopefully translation of Realta Nua Mobile.

Inspired by Hintay's posts in the Realta Nua PC thread, particularly this:

This is a English test patch for iOS Fate: https://mega.co.nz/#!CUMFBTzT!1GvG-j...BS3swyGde8IGm0
You should uncompress zip file and put it in Document folder of your iOS Fate, also only translate '2 Days Ago - Prologue'. And I think the original linebreak function for English is unfriendly.

Here are a Python script written by myself to pack dat file of patch and generate fileinfo.txt:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# Copyright (c) 2015 Hintay <hintay(at)me.com>

import os, codecs, hashlib, sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf8')

def main(startdir):
    # Change dat filename you want in here.
    container_name = 'en.dat'
    with open(container_name , 'wb') as datwr:
        fileinfo = codecs.open('fileinfo.txt' , 'w', 'utf-8')
        os.chdir(startdir)
        offset = 0
        n = 1024*4

        for obj in os.listdir(os.curdir):
            print(obj)
            m = hashlib.md5()

            size = os.path.getsize(obj)

            dat = open(obj, 'rb')
            while True:
                buf = dat.read(n)
                if buf:
                    m.update(buf)
                    datwr.write(buf)
                else:
                    break
            dat.close()

            md5 = m.hexdigest()
            print(md5)

            name, ftype = obj.split('.')[:2]
            # Maybe you should decode filename.
            #fileinfo.write(u'%s::%s::sys/%s::%s::%s::%s::0\n'%(name.decode("GBK"), ftype, container_name, offset, size, md5))
            fileinfo.write(u'%s::%s::sys/%s::%s::%s::%s::0\n'%(name, ftype, container_name, offset, size, md5))

            offset += size
        datwr.close()
        fileinfo.close()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    startdir = raw_input('Please input startdir: ')
    main(startdir)

I don't know how to patch GUI, maybe jailbreak is required if want translate GUI.

(NOTE: This thread is not about porting the HD assets of the mobile version to the PC version; use the Realta Nua PC thread for that.)

Sorry if I'm being daft, but what's stopping someone from applying the rest of the patch just like Hintay did?

Maybe the fact that not all of the current "features" of the patch work correctly for this version?

True, we could have another event like that "hollowgate" from some months ago, but I think that someone who makes the effort to do a pretty decent job wouldn't bother to do a messed up patch where not even linebreaks work correctly.

I could be wrong, tough.

[Kotonoha]

There's a version of the patch that doesn't need those features, just throwing that out there!

(well i mean it does need linebreaks but that's basic functionality rather than a feature)

[Riku Noctis]

The Wakame patch? Right, there is that too.
Well, there you have it then.

Basically for a partial patch (meaning script translation only) we need a couple of things:
1) I saw mobile scripts had a new scroll text tag every now and then. Dunno what it does but if it's necessary then we need to insert those to the English script as well.
2) Apply word wrapping script. There are no tjs files so we need to somehow inject one.
3) add some other custom English tags like edoublecolon

[ニサンカタンソ]

How many changes to the scripts were there other than translation of text?
It would take more time to copy the English text onto the Japanese mobile scripts, right?

Word wrapping is a pain because you need to either buffer characters until there's a space or be able to erase characters, both of which would require major changes to the text processing system.
Also with a variable width font we have to find a way to measure the width of the characters.
The brute force way is to insert line wrapping manually, which will work but it will require a lot of work.
Another thing is that the current game wraps at 26 characters, which is a bit short.
At the moment, the first page is like this:

  It was a thrust like lig
htning.
  A spearhead thrust to pi
erce my heart.
  Trying to dodge it would
 be useless.
  Being lightning, it's in
visible to the human eye.

With manual line breaks it would be like this:

  It was a thrust like
lightning.
  A spearhead thrust to
pierce my heart.
  Trying to dodge it would
 be useless.
  Being lightning, it's
invisible to the human
eye.

Since the lines are so short, it could be that all the text doesn't fit on one page. We can add a extra pages though (we might have to re-number all the pages).

Edit: Landscape mode can fit 10 lines.

[Quibi]

I have faith we could inject the word wrapping using the ks files. We just need to define the word wrapping tag and then override the message layer.

I'm not in favor of manually editing the scripts, but if worse comes to worse we should use MM method of inserting the wrap tag before every word. It could be done fairly easily with a script.

The Japanese scripts seem pretty much the same side from the new scroll text tag, which we'll probably need to insert to the English scripts (when we find out what it does).

[aldeayeah]

Also with a variable width font we have to find a way to measure the width of the characters.

I know this isn't really a solution, but wouldn't using a monospaced font be an option?

[Kotonoha]

So do we have the graphics and stuff extracted yet?

[Quibi]

So do we have the graphics and stuff extracted yet?

Even more.

[Kotonoha]

Cool.

Also for the sake of my sanity if anyone's going to patch the PC translation onto the mobile version then start with these scripts instead of journeying through the labyrinth of switches.

[Seika]

Uploaded today?

I must scrutinise them for translation updates!

[Kotonoha]

Nah there's no updates, it's just the unpacked version of the files that are already in the patch.

[Seika]

Alas for the dashing of my hopes.

I kind of wonder - how many people here would end up with FSN on their mobile anyway, and really using it? I just feel a bit sceptical about the audience for this.

[Kotonoha]

Personally I like VNs on portable devices better than having to sit in front of my computer for 100 hours.

[mewarmo990]

I would download/buy this in an instant, if not for the stupid device/region restrictions on Android.

these days if I have time to sit down in front of the computer, I have better things to do than read a VN.

[Kotonoha]

Spoiler:

They've been developing it for that long and it still only runs on like 5 types of phone?

[mewarmo990]

They've been developing it for that long

Imma stop you right here.

[Kotonoha]

MAYBE LONGER

[ニサンカタンソ]

They've been developing it for that long

Ah that explains how they managed to rewrite the whole engine in C++.
