[chronodekar]

I'm doing an English tranlation of the free tool, "Wolf RPG Editor". You can get details from their home-page,
Wolf RPG Editor home-page
Wolf RPG Editor through Google Translate

Latest Release (see thread for details),
Wolf_RPG_Editor_202a_English_v0025.zip
NOTE: This project is on indefinite hold until I can convince the original developers to let me join their team.



Usage: Just place the above executable in the same directory as "Editor.exe" which you get from the main site and run the translation!


Old Releases,
Editor202aENG_v0012.exe
Editor202aENG_v0008.exe
Editor202aENG_v0005.exe
WolfRPGEditor English Translation v0004

I'm in work right now, so I make this brief.
Blue circled elements are maps names and those names can be changed somewhere in DB - don't remember which DB and Type contains map data however.
Both red circled elements require hex editing skills. Let's start with dropdown lists, shall we?
Each Dialog with list(s) has additional entry in 240 category (I think they're called Binary Data or something similar) with same ID as Dialog. What you need to do is to export this resource to .res file, hex edit all lists elements and then import changed .res file. It can be tricky, so you need to be careful - I don't have time right now to go into details and even if I had the time I don't know if I could explain this clearly enough (even in polish).
Dynamic strings can be changed by directly hex editing .exe file. Problem with this is that string space is limited (that's why "mine" max. speed string is different/shorter than yours). Another problem is that some strings occur two or more times and I really don't know how easy it is to screw something up. But I just started exploring that just yesterday so hope is still strong .
Same thing applies to some static strings, such as Checkpoint / P check in events list, some dialogs title bars, and many more.
Game error points you to Common (not sure) Event 124, line 15 (also not sure), so maybe there you'll find more info on how to repair this. It's possible you translated DB Types when other dialog windows were opened - that can screw things up sometimes. That's one of the possibilities.

I found the 240 category. Didn't realize that was where the drop-down lists were. With ResEdit, it seems that I might be able to edit the entries in there, but I haven't tested this myself. What tool do you use to extract data to .res files and can the same tool be used to import data from .res files as well?
Worst case scenario, if I can't figure it out, I might have to leave translating those sections to you.

Now that you mention about common events, that sounds like something I could explore. It will have to wait till the weekend though, so this could take some time.

Do you know any small games made using Wolf RPG Editor? I think I have enough know-how to try my hand at translating one of those and it might help bring some attention to this project. Speaking of which, when you said that you know how much of a pain it is to translate each and every version of an editor, did you mean Wolf or is it another program? I'm curious.

Good old ResHack was able to export/import resources, but import war broken and in most cases didn't work as intended. I downloaded ResEdit and it seems that it does not support export/import and some other useful things (but still looks nice for a freeware). I personally use Restorator (I'm not in any way affiliated with it's creator/distributor/etc. ), but it's not free and I don't know any free alternative.

Worst case scenario, if I can't figure it out, I might have to leave translating those sections to you.

No problem, but if it will come to this I would prefer to leave translations to you - for the sake of translation's uniformity. If you're ok with this I'll just send you the strings to translate and then reimplement translations into the file.

Probably most released games made with Wolf RPG Editor will be compressed so they won't do you any good.
I think that translating databases of sample game will be much more useful. Why? Maybe Wolf RPG Editor doesn't have scripting language but if I'm not mistaken it's database engine is extremely powerful and flexible at the same time. I'm not full fledged programmer but I can see similarities to programming - Types are classes, Datas are objects of those classes and Type contents ("Content type" in your translation) are parameters/arguments/properties of those classes. And everything without typing one line of code (not that I mind typing or coding ). 100 types with 10000 data and 100 properties each is not bad at all if you ask me . I hope you see my point...

Speaking of which, when you said that you know how much of a pain it is to translate each and every version of an editor, did you mean Wolf or is it another program? I'm curious.

I know it sounds weird but I like to tear applications, mainly games, apart to see how they work . From hex/resource editing to open memory surgery . Most of the time for my own purposes and satisfaction - sometimes even greater than playing the game itself.
I gave translating Wolf RPG Editor a shot - same version you started translating, but gave up due to the time constrains and apparently not good enough language skills. So when I saw your thread and note about putting translation on hold I decided to voice my concerns - you asked for it .

Cheers!

Hello,we are using the "Wolf RPG Editor" in Japan.
I heard that you work hard to translate the tool. We feel that your efforts will be great.
Although we are not good at English, let us send a message while clumsy.
When reading the database in place of common events, the place to read is looking for a name instead of a number.
For example, when reading the No.0 database, it searches a data such "技能: Y: X".Not"0: Y: X".
So if rewrite the name of the database, We get an error to fail to detect data in common.
If you change the name of the type of database, you must also fix common command of events at the same time.
We would like to help correction of the portion to which a database and a common database relate, if you wish.

We hope your efforts are rewarded.
