[I'TS BACK!] Book of Star Mythology English Patch (Help Wanted!)

[Kizune-Chao]

_{I am so sorry I didn't upload about this sooner! Had to deal with college and stuff... :blush: but enough of old shame; let's get on with it!!}

As the title says, I've slowly been working on an English Patch for Book of Star Mythology out of boredom waiting for the full version ever since the Touhou Wiki translations came out this summer.

Current Progress (as of ver. 1.10)
Translated:
SOLO
- Spellcard names (in-game)
- Boss character names (All Clear!)
- Selection screens (Modes, Difficulties, character select, shottype select)
- Stage Titles
- Manual (Everything except Story)
- Final Ranks
THANKS TO HumanReploidJP
- Spell Practice
- Music Room
- Game HUD
- Reimu's Main+Extra Scenario
- Marisa and Sanae's Main+Extra Scenarios
- Stage Titles (descriptions)
Being Translated:
- Manual (Story)
- Song titles (Saving this for the full version!)
Not Translated
- All Endings

I'm working with Version 0.02 (second demo), so I'll update the files accordingly once the full version is released (and after I beat it) .
NOTE: Now working with Version 1.10 (full game+extra) as of its release.
If anyone wants to help, I'd really appreciate it!

You can download the(noncompiled) translated images here(SPOIL AT YOUR OWN RISK)

UPDATES
(10/6/2016): Well, shoot. The full version(ver. 1.00) is going to be released on October 14, so I'll hold off on updates for now.
(10/23/2016): The images are archived in a .dat file (as to not spoil the finale), so work on those will be put on hold until someone unarchives it.
(9/15/2017)  Since I wasn't able to fully complete this project (stupid .dat file... ), it seems that HumanReploidJP has taken up the torch. Good luck, dude!
(11/24/2017): Finished translating the whole manual (except for Story)! Now to wait for someone to translate that... And the Extra Stage select...
(12/13/2017) I'll be taking a temporary hiatus on the project, and I should return by January 14, 2018. (more info here)
Happy Holidays, everyone!
1/16/2018) : I'm back, everyone!

Hi!
My name is Maceknight.
I'm a BoSM producer.  :3

Thank you for making the English version of the patch.
I'm so happy. (*?ω｀*)

But,I have to apologize to you.
Final version of BoSM is can't look at the image from the outside.
Because,if look at the game folder,they could get to know all scenario to don't have to clear.

It is not fun.

But, I want to be the English version patch can be applied.

Since the fine information is later also update, I want a little longer wait.

[Uruwi]

If Maceknight means that the image data is in a .dat file, I've written a C program to extract files from them. (Don't use it to spoil yourself, though; play through everything first.)

[Sparen]

AFAIK the best case scenario would actually be to create a full blown official English translation if possible rather than dealing with the dat file. But that's just my 2 cents.

[WanderingShadow]

I don't really see how this could be translated without the image file given that all of the titles are in there. If that wasn't used all of the code to get the various images would need to be altered to point to the new location. Seems like more work than it's worth unless the code would need to be redone anyhow. Good on Uruwi for getting the extractor written. I'm assuming you have something to re-pack the images once they are altered?

[Sparen]

I'm assuming you have something to re-pack the images once they are altered?

Yes, the archiver comes with Danmakufu.

As an alternative, it is possible to override the original files by creating a path to the same filename outside of the archived .dat. This is the most practical way to patch the images, imo, since it only requires the original image files and knowledge of the path to the file.

[Himura Hashimoto]

I could use that program.

I'm an editor over on en.touhouwiki.net (I'm Sukuna) and that will be able to help us out more, especially since the images aren't packed outside like usual.

[Himura Hashimoto]

Okay, the images have been uploaded and the newest profiles translated.

[Himura Hashimoto]

Now I put the original scenarios for stages 5 and 6 on the wikia. Now to wait for someone to translate those...

https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Book_of_Star_Mythology/Translation/Reimu%27s_Scenario#Stage_5
https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Book_of_Star_Mythology/Translation/Marisa%27s_Scenario#Stage_5
https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Book_of_Star_Mythology/Translation/Sanae%27s_Scenario#Stage_5

The ones that have been translated fully will be crossed out.

Edit: All scenarios have been translated~

Hi!
My name is Maceknight.

Oh wow... I didn't expect one of the developers to show up here... pleased to meet you!

Thank you for making the English version of the patch.

Thank you! I've put a lot effort into this!  :blush:

Ah, that's understandable, though it's going to be tougher to translate. Thanks so much!

[Kizune-Chao]

The spellcard list on the wiki is not functioning correctly. Not good... :ohdear:
Take a look.(FIXED)
Also, none of the boss spellcards on any stage are working properly.(FIXED)
Now Sanae's scenario isn't working.
EDIT: crossed out fixed links.

[Romantique Tp]

Fixed. The second link too.

[Kizune-Chao]

Wait, really?! Where is the archiver?

[Sparen]

Wait, really?! Where is the archiver?

/tools/FileArchiver.exe

[Kizune-Chao]

I've written a C program to extract files from them. (Don't use it to spoil yourself, though; play through everything first.)

Does it work in Notepad++? (I'm curious, is all.)

Edit:
Since the images aren't accessible right now, I've started work translating Spell Practice!

[Uruwi]

Does it work in Notepad++? (I'm curious, is all.)

It doesn't matter which editor you use; you need a C compiler. and you need to link to zlib.

[Himura Hashimoto]

Well, it seems as though I got the images (the useless ones have been deleted to save space). Have fun translating them~

Will do! (As soon as I have some extra time!)

[Himura Hashimoto]

Okay, good luck then.  :3

[Lino Lyrac]

Can i help for translating them?

[Kizune-Chao]

Can i help for translating them?

Sure you can!

[Kizune-Chao]

Well, shoot. It's been MONTHS since I last posted. Might as well explain, yeah?

When the full game was released, I decided not to do any more work on this project until after the extra stage release. Said release came during the holiday season, and because I didn't have my computer, I couldn't make any progress until winter break ended. Which was about a month later.
Combined with entering my first year of college and plenty of other life stuff going on right now...
yeah, it's no wonder I haven't been back.

That doesn't mean I've given up on this project though! I just don't have as much time on hand as I used to. And now the extra stage is out, there's plenty more to come.

Hope you understand,
Kizune

[HumanReploidJP]

I agree with your compliment for your retirement on working for the english version, but I can help translate as I have the assistance.

I can do this for the english version. I hope it's coming soon.

Well, that's great, but I don't know how to use it properly... :ohdear:

[HumanReploidJP]

A lot of work on something. So I've been responsible for translating Reimu's Story and Extra Mode dialogue (also system + character titles were translated):

Stage 1 Dialogue





Stage 2 Dialogue




Stage 3 Dialogue




Stage 4 Midboss Dialogue




Stage 4 Dialogue




Stage 5 Dialogue




Stage 6 Dialogue




Extra Stage Dialogue

Oh! Even the Music Room with comments, spell practice, and difficulty and modes were translated:

Music Room



Spell Practice



Game Mode Select



Difficulty Select

In translating spell card images, music room, and spell practice, I used Touhou Biolinum font for those ones.
It took some long long time for me to do this. I still have to finish translating the following:

- Dialogues:
   - Marisa's Scenario and Extra
   - Sanae's Scenario and Extra
- Misc:
   - Music Names

- CROSSED OUT THE FOLLOWING ABOVE, MEANING, THEY ARE TRANSLATED, OTHERWISE UNTRANSLATED DUE TO THE STORYWRITER'S TRANSLATION ON TOUHOUWIKI.

btw I'm not responsible for characters' endings, and the manual, because it's hardly too tough for me to translate, especially Sanae's extra, because there's something missing in translation.

Dialogues, Music, Characters and Spell Card Names, even the Music Room, Spell Practice, Game Modes and Difficulty levels are my responsibility to translate.
I hope it's coming out soon.

Awesome work, dude! I really appreciate your help!

...I've done a good portion of translating as well.
More specifically:

• Spell Card Names (Also, let's just say that I did something... special for those last words~ :3 )
• All Player Characters + Shottypes

[attach=1]
Reimu's select


[attach=2]
Reimu A select

• most of the Stage titles
• my own variant of the Mode+Difficulty select and the boss character titles

[attach=3]
Mode select

[/list]
Even so, you've pretty much covered everything I didn't, so excellent work!

Link to my files here(SPOIL AT YOUR OWN RISK)

_{also, no screenshots yet because laziness work in progress  :derp:}
EDIT: Added some screenshots, finally. Not many, though.

[R. P. Genocraft]

This has been looking really cool, am looking forward to playing BoSM translated!
That said, I think you should change the dialogue font, it doesn't look very fitting. it's otherwise great

Thanks so much!!!

...though, isn't it odd that nobody's translated the Extra Difficulty select? Everything else aside, that's LITERALLY all that's left to translate.

[HumanReploidJP]

Update: Sanae's Extra Dialogue has been translated!
Well, the dialogue for Sanae's Extra was missing in english because of the storywriter of BOSM (as I've seen on touhouwiki).
Take a look what's out there: https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Book_of_Star_Mythology/Story/Sanae%27s_Extra

Sanae's Scenario is finished (Even Marisa's Scenario and Extra Dialogue has been finished with translation). I wonder how long if Miika Oyasu (BOSM Storywriter) would know more because there's something missing.  :ohdear:

[HumanReploidJP]

It's quarterly finished! But to check what's translated, refer to clicking this link: https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,21040.msg1361433.html#msg1361433
