Strawberry Bose Translation and Gameplay Changing Patch Center

[Memomecha]

Done by Validon originally.

I've been posting a bunch of stuff about this translation project over back in my LP thread for Nightmare of Rebellion, but I figured it would be a good idea to shift any conversation, progress reports, screenshots, etc. over to Touhou Projects instead of clogging up the LP thread. So, that said, once I actually have the gameplay patch for NoR in a releasable condition, I'll be editing the next post (which I'll reserve for all the downloads, etc.) to include it, some example screenshots, etc., the same for when I move on to the other games. This includes Devil of Decline ~ Banquet (the other translation thread will stay for Devil of Decline ~ Festival), Touhou Quest, Marisa's Kirisame Magic Shop, Nightmare of Rebellion, and Phantasmal Summoners 2.

With that said, here's what's up with the NoR translation right now. I'm still going through item.srsdb, which is probably the largest file of them all to work through, and currently need to just get the descriptions done (I otherwise did all the names and removed all the furigana). enchant.srsdb, which had the enchantment related information, is also done. There's a few more files I am going to touch upon before releasing a "bare basics" patch, including monster.srsdb, chr.srsdb, and cond.srsdb. Once those are done, I'll make the bare basics patch and begin work on a full-er gameplay patch. The files more or less work the same way, so while I need to edit the .srsdb files as .txt files due to how the tool I got works, the .srb files (in other words, Global.srb) and the image files can be handled the exact same way as before.

Welcome to MotK 3! I guess since we're starting here a fresh, I might bring in something. Obviously, these came from the original forums, and I'm going to hopefully make a few of you happy before the old ship goes down. Translation work will be continued in a bit by me and hopefully some others, like Vadimon. Now I'm going to try to modify shinigami drop rates in Devil of Decline Banquet (and Festival) so that they'll not be absolute RNG, and maybe buff some of them.

See you all soon
-Memomecha!

What does the img.pak update for GoS actually do?  I presume well enough the other patch's purpose.

I don't know.

[Barrakketh]

I don't know.

The translated link from the old board seems to be dead, but it looks like menus, resistances, BGM names, character names in battle, text like "BOMB +1", and also the ending of the main game.

It's nice to see that people are still willing to work on translating these games.

[Memomecha]

OK, just to be clear: I don't know how to decrypt these. If Validon comes back to this new site, maybe he would help. But I can't seem to make the decryption tool a bit easier to understand (or mauve could also try to give me advice). But when I can understand a bit more about it, I can help translate and edit the games so that shinigami are a lot easier to get in Devil of Decline.

Are the story dialogues translated in the DoD patch?

[Memomecha]

Are the story dialogues translated in the DoD patch?

No. And neither is some of the stuff within the 3.00 version thing. I didn't make them as a reminder. Validon did, but since the dude hasn't come back yet, I just made this thread so that it didn't get trapped when the old thread caves in.

[Validon98]

Haven't really touched this stuff in awhile, honestly I was thinking of getting back to it in some way but then both time got away from me (as will happen with jobs) and also the tools I used are less kind to me on my new laptop. I can try doing work again on my old laptop but honestly I don't know when I'd get to it. I'm sorry for not leaving better information behind, to the point even I'm having trouble remembering everything.

I will say that there is something I want to do, but it isn't a patch. Since GoSV and DoDW have been out for awhile now, once I have the necessary time and motivation, I'd love to put reference spreadsheets together for them, since otherwise I don't have a clue how to translate patch things on the Switch (and I don't want to risk bricking mine), but I think it would be nice for people who would want to try the console versions to have something of a translation reference so that they don't have to rely on a Google translated wiki or something like that.

Other than that, I dunno how much more help I'll be. Sorry for not having better gotten things together for people interested in continuing this.

I actually have recently starting playing DoD:W and boy it'd be nice to have a reference sheet for the weapon skills. Everything else I'm pretty much fine on, and the jp wiki is pretty helpful. But weapon skills? In battles is ok, but when it comes to swapping... oomph, not being able to see the ranges in the menu like in DoD:PC makes it troublesome. (also, generic shikigami buff/debuffs with identical range/mp)

I started getting this kind of spreadsheet together before. It's very incomplete at the moment but it at least has weapon skills filled out for the moment with translations and any special effects (but not specific numbers, etc.). I'll try to pick away at this moreso with other skill types, weapons, etc. I have it set so people can comment, so if people have information on the required element levels for some of the skills I don't have filled out, it'd be nice for reference (I have all the ones for slash skills, just not stab or strike).

EDIT: I should note that since this is recent, I've done another translation pass at some things, so I've adjusted some commonly known translations. Been thinking a bit about other common terms we've been using and what might be better translations or otherwise shorter ones, like changing Element Power to Element Intensity (to separate it from Power as in base damage, rather than "Power" as in how much extra weakness damage it does, the two use different kanji in Japanese as well). Was also thinking of changing Permanent to Ailment, since... I honestly don't know where Permanent came from in the previous translation? Variety gets used in katakana, so it can stay, and Quick is accurate, but Permanent is almost always referred to in the Japanese as "Abnormal State," so I don't get where it came from in the GoS translation. Status effects as a whole (of all three types) are otherwise referred to in katakana as Conditions. I dunno, just thoughts on the matter, I think some of the original translations could stand to be adjusted for clarity.

Validon, can you send me the csvs for Devil of Decline? I'm looking to check on stats of attacks and status resistance of enemies there.

Here's the link to the files I had uploaded for DoD 3.03. Honestly I was uncertain if I had them on hand anymore (most of them are in my old laptop and actually getting those out of it would be a pain), but there they are. Not sure if all the stuff you need is in here, but hopefully the important stuff is there.

[RegalStar]

I'm looking for edu.csv which isn't in this zip file. I saw some tools but I don't know how to use them.

[Validon98]

Oh, hmm. It's been long enough I don't quite remember how to use them either, especially since my current copy of those tools doesn't seem to want to work on my new laptop for whatever reason (probably a missing dll or something like that). If you're working with the Banquet version you'd have to extract the files from game.tarc using the genmu.exe tool that should be posted in the archived thread (I want to say somewhere in that thread I wrote instructions on how to use them when I said I was too busy to keep working on it myself, but I'm not 100% certain). Sorry if I've been of little use here, it's been awhile and I haven't had the energy to return to this stuff so it's all slipped through the cracks.

And here I managed to dust off an years old account to make a post in the NoR LP thread since I finally got through to playing that game (and having a rather frustrating time with some parts of it), only to be surprised at how the forum moved right as I was about to mention how surprised (and glad) I was to see the forum still being alive. (I was going to comment on being sad about the LP going on hiatus before hitting the expansion content and to advise people to not sleep on chasers, they carried me all the way to the last dungeon).

I've been told that Switch games can be modified without much difficulty so getting V and W translated might not be impossible, but that's where my knowledge ends. Personally I'd rather continue praying as I've done every day in the past few years for Strawberry Bose to port those versions to PC and put them on Steam.
