Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix Translation Patch (In progress)

So why can't you access the workplace?

 

I really want to see if those HD assets can be added in for PCSX2 emulation. Maybe a new thread on this perhaps?

 

Got pulled away from my main computer. Data's fine, just on a different computer. I'll be back by this weekend.

New thread may be good. Did look quickly at this thread (http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=10231), and looks like the formats are different. "the new MDLS files seem to be a combination of everything", ".GTF files contain the textures. It's a format specific to the PS3."
Also, laughed at this: "Interesting, the textures have the exact same size as their originals. So much for HD."
The hurdle here: you need a jailbroken PS3 to decrypt the HD game files. That I do not have. (darn you, 3.56!)

 

The texture is probably a compression thing. Either that or Square Enix lied which isn't too out of the ordinary to create some hype

 

Well, there are two ways to interpret it. By the same "size", they can mean same X by Y (a low quality texture can be 256x256 just as a higher quality version of it can be), which would seem odd but believable, or they mean that they're the same file-size (two files that are both 200 kilobytes in size).

I'd like to believe that they are just higher resolution versions of the textures rather than a straight copy-paste from PS2 to PS3, but I don't know; I don't have the game myself to compare.

Well for the ps3 version of KHFM . They used kh3d models imstead I the ps2 version . I personal hate K H3D models my selfs

 

Well, yeah, I was more under the idea we were talking about the world/kh1-specific weapon textures, etc.[DOUBLEPOST=1371102184][/DOUBLEPOST]Can I propose that we take all of the existing tools and create a new thread for us to have discussion in?

As it is, the releases of tools and rough patches are so scattered in this thread I have no idea where anything is anymore; and we'd be a bit more focused; and the thread would be related to the patch that's in-progress instead of "not what we think".

 

Are we talking about the concept of HD assets porting or the translation patch?

 

I was referring more to the translation patch; the HD asset port stuff could come along with, as long as we try to keep everything neat.

 

While we're waiting for something amazing to happen, I'm gonna see if I can replace the models of the Heartless with the not-Final Mix versions. Canon-colors yay.

 

I thought that was more texture change, not model change. However if we are going by model changes let's find out if 1.5 models have the same bones and animations as the original.

 

It is a texture-related change, but since I have no idea how to edit/manipulate textures and have them still work in-game, I'm gonna have to replace the models that have the textures already on them.

Unless you know how to edit textures? I really want to remove Terra's cape from his KH2 model and a texture change would be perfect.

 

Guess I will make the HD assets thread if you make the translation patch thread. It's kinda be dead here for a while

 

I can't figure out kanji.knj, sorry guys. It seems to be a PS2-specific format, not KH1-specific, so I can't decompile the game for help. On top of that, the order in which pixels appear makes no sense to me.
The not-so-bad side is this font does have all the capital English characters, just not lowercase. Until some fix can be found, this will have to do.
For anyone messing with strings in either the FM or US version, I have tools here that might help: http://crazycatz00.x10host.com/KH/.

Used those tools to pull the Ansem reports from the English version, and to type the FM-only ones out. (Everything fits fine with lowercases -.-)
For now, I'll try a different approach with this darn font.

 

That's ok Crazycat you tried. I thought those guys from the other forum would help you? Guess no one answered

 

This is truly a disappointing thing.

I'm genuinely upset with this. :\

 

Either no-one over there knows enough to help, or they just don't care enough to bother. Requests go ignored often, but was worth a shot.It's still up, though, they might surprise me.

As for now, instead of modding the font I'm going a different route and am trying to mod the character heights. The English font is shorter, which is why it doesn't align in the Japanese version. If I can find where it decides the height, I might just be able to make the original English font work. I'm pretty sure it's decided in the ELF file, so anyone who knows MIPS assembly can help if they want o_O (If you're up to this, I have a partially labeled dump for ps2dis; PM or something).

Edit: Narrowing down on where it loads the font. Found about where to change how much space is between 2 displayed lines (not what we want), but I think I'm closing in. Also crashed the pcsx2 virtual GPU a few times.... lol. I'll try to continue in the next few days.

 

Hey guys. I hope I'm not going off-topic much, but with all the updates I've seen you guys do with changing the language would it be possible to just remove the Japanese text entirely in reference to the subtitles? Or has that not been tampered with much yet?

 

At least the CAPSLOCK won't be too hard on the eyes now.

 

Ok I think I will make the HD assets thread either today or tomorrow
