Malie - text out for english version about fuckgalengine

[Inori]

It's possible to make script psp-malie_text_out.py work better with english version of Dies Irae game on Steam? English version is saved in unicode LE format.

I see the exec.dat you upload in PC folder, for this file, the entry starts at 0x3c370A and ends at 0x411756, if you look at its' binary content, you can find the pattern just by your eyes:

There many zeros list in columns, the format of the binary index follows like:
offset length offset length offset length........
the next offset equals current offset plus length plus 2(which is the utf-16 end mark \x00\x00)

And then you can modify the psp-malie_text_out.py script, like:

    start = 0x3c370A
    src.seek(start)
    end = 0x411756 -4
    count = (end-start)//8

After some other little error correct, eg. codec and so on, I got:

i dont have the game, however try my build, i'm using visual studio 2017

[masagrator]

Nothing. It doesn't show any error and nothing is created.

PC version is English Steam (patch.dat is probably newer exec.dat)
Switch-Android is Japanese.

guess you're right, i didnt works...

[masagrator]

OK, i will check that. Now it looks much cleaner. My ultimate goal is to replace english text with switch text.

Accidentaly closed issue. For now I want to stay it open.

[masagrator]

OK, I cleared out text that now looks like Japanese Switch version.


And now how to import this? pspimport doesn't work

python pspimport.py
File "pspimport.py", line 56
print fn
^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(fn)?

And needs new offsets.

And now how to import this? pspimport doesn't work

You shouldn't expect the old code can just work directly.
Since you can export the text yourself, you know the file's binary structure already.
Just replace the old text with new text, then fix the index with new offset and length.

[masagrator]

But what are the new offsets? In import there are different than original text_out and I don't have PSP version to check.

Or I need to modify text_out by myself to import it? Because pspimport doesn't have any dics or *.dat reference so maybe I misunderstood something.

Edit: Ok, i converted it to Python 3 and now got
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'in.tbl'
And i don't know what is this.

[Inori]

Read the export script's code (psp-malie_text_out.py), see how it works.
Once you understand the code, then you just write new text, update binary index, that's all.

May I ask how to find the start Address?

I'm trying to get it to work with the HD version, but psp-malie_text_out.py only creates blank files.
Could you provide a working export/import version, @Inori ? I've tried everything

Edit: nevermind, it worked using another tool.
