ARE YOU TIRED OF THE DUMB EDITS MADE BY NICK DOERR? DO YOU WANT TO HAVE MORE TOLERABLE DIALOGUE? WOULD YOU LIKE NEPTUNE TO NOT SOUND LIKE A RETARD? RE;BIRTH 2: RETRANSLATION IS HERE TO FIX THOSE PROBLEMS!! With Retranslation, say goodbye to bullshit like Nep Jr. and say hello to the new dialogue that won't make you cringe! Grab it here: http://www38.zippyshare.com/v/tIs913kq/file.html THERE MAY BE SOME SPELLING ERRORS OR TEXT THAT DON'T FIT IN THE DIALOGUE BOX! IF YOU FIND ANY PROBLEMS, REPORT THEM HERE
Tried it out for a little bit, noticed that Cancel appears in Japanese. That's the only issue I've noticed so far, will play more when I get the chance, since it's pretty late here.
>>1394 Looked into it It can easily be fixed by replacing the Japanese text with English above it, but I'll probably upload another version with fixes soon
>>1395 Forgot to mention the file that is causing the error is kitserver.txt
Downloaded immediately, even though my toaster can't run any of the Re;birth games. HUGE congrats for everyone involved in the project, from those pushing for it (the old guard of /v/, from Blancanon to Gearanon) to those actively working on it. It's because Neptunia has such an involved fanbase that I was able to grab this file.
Where do I put the file once I've downloaded it? This is the first time I've tried something like this and I don't want to fuck anything up. And I really don't want to play Nick's crappy localization.
>>1398 There are instructions.txt inside the zip file anon But anyway, you put it inside the Neptunia Re;birth2 folder also this should be dubs right
>>1399 Oh, I see. I just wanted to make certain because I wasn't sure if it would have instructions or not. I'll go download it right now. Thanks for the help, anon.
>>1400 Its me again. I've downloaded the file and extracted it into my Re;Birth 2 folder in steamapps, but its not giving me the "retranslation" like it says in the instructions. Am I doing something wrong? I've tried clicking "kitserver.exe" yet all I'm getting by clicking it is an error.
>>1401 What's the error? Perhaps you extracted the folder into the Neptunia Re;birth2 You have to extract the contents of the folder inside the Zip into the spot where the .exe for Re;birth2 is located
>>1402 The image I'm about to upload right now will show you the error I'm getting. I didn't even know that's where I had to extract the zip folder to. I'll go try it again and will tell you the results. I'm so dum ;_;
>>1403 Ah yes you are putting the folder itself it should look like this
Step by step: If you're using WinRAR or something I'm hoping you get it Image 1: Open the file and it should open WinRAR, and double click the Neptunia folder inside Image 2: Highlight everything inside the Neptunia Folder Image 3: Go to your Neptunia Re;birth2 folder in Steam Then drag and drop everything you've highlighted inside the Re;birth2 folder you've opened up
>>1404 God I'm really dumb. I wasn't even aware that I had to just take the files inside the folder and to put them in the Re;Birth 2 sections. I corrected my mistake and now its working perfectly. Thank you for all the help, anon!
>>1406 Enjoy the re-translation anon!
So, think we should make a steam guide out of this?
Thank you all so much for your hard work. I'm amazed you got it done so quickly (I never would have played the Doerr version if I'd known!). I'm looking forward to playing the game as it should be.
>>1409 The more explainations, the better. Also, maybe spread it to sites like GBAtemp if possible (dunno if they have a PC section, but it could interest them for the Vita one), as they enjoy that kind of work.
Requesting more images of changes for use in the steam guide. In particular, the concert scene at the end of chapter 2 and Neptune's return in chapter 4 is particularly desired.
Steam guide up. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?i Editfag, if you would drop us your steam ID on IRC, I would add you to the list of contributors. Right now we really need more pictures of the changes.
>>1413 Wrong link, apparently.
>>1414 Oops. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=542831125 The link got truncated for some reason.
Welp, the first typos are trickling in. Diety should be replaced with Deity. Note it down for change in version 1.1.
Good job getting this done. Quick turn around too.
>>1411 Well, guess someone took my advice to heart. http://gbatemp.net/threads/hyperdimension-neptunia-re-birth-2-re-translation.401006/
Off-topic, but will FFF be retranslated as well?
Found a couple errors here >>1419 Does FFF need it? I don't remember anything bad in particular about it's translation
>>1420 Other than not playing the game, all I know is that NISA had given some of the characters retarded names (ie: Effole becomes Ethel). If another anon has played it and knows what the script is like please do tell me.
>>1419 I think we are primarily Nep fans so I would think FFF would be somewhat unlikely. If for no other reason we will be very busy with RB3 VERY SOON.
>>1422 Understandable. Thanks for the answer, anon.
>>1416 All right, got the 'Diety' and Japanese text error fixed. If you find any other problems, let me know
>>1424 I found a double-space in a line just above "Diety". Check the Google Doc, it's one of Linda's lines.
>>1425 Which file number is it?
>>1426 0468, the same one where I fixed "diety".
>>1427 Well just above that obviously but still. 1.1 changes have an obviously different color from 1.0 in the Doc so it'll be easy to see.
>>1428 All right, thats fixed.
Say, how are we handling version changes? Will a new file be uploaded at a new link, or will the current link be updated with the new version? Also, how frequent would new releases be done?
And we found yet another bug. The description for the a button in the configuration menu is replaced with the description for the b button.
>>1431 I think we can just replace the current link for now, I believe the service we are using will memory hole files after a month if you don't touch them anyway. Although that brings up the question of an LTS solution…I am personally looking into additional storage/download options but the method we are currently using works for now. After v1.1 hits I'm not sure how frequently Re;Translation 2 will be updated but I am sure it will be every so often. However RB3 is going to be a very large project, so I see a lot of work going to that for a while when it drops.
>>1435 I've posted in the old nep thread that you guys can use my mega folder if needed https://mega.nz/#F!G4ZWTaLS!P4q237pM9fQJTzCqtd9w6w I'll just create a new folder for the version and upload it there
>>1434 More on the options menu, when you go to accept or reject new options.
The RB2 Retranslation guide on steam is now the fourth highest rated guide of all time! This is gaining some serious traction!
Hey Editor, looks like this old piece of text got in 1.0 by mistake. It's page 0112 on the Google sheet.
>>1441
>>1441 >of all time Wait, how do you know this? I need pics or something.
>>1442 Noted. I've also been asked on the Steam forum to change Underling's name to Linda, that fine?
>>1445 Forgot to mention theres also been other changes I've been asked to made in pages 4-1 from 'Yamino Takamaru'
>>1445 Was Underling called "Linda" in the original script?
>>1447 Once for sure, when she first introduces herself, she definitely calls herself Linda audibly. The rest of the cast no-sells this and starts calling her "Shitappa" (Underling) subsequently though. Basically as we have it now.
>>1448 Then leave it as it is.
>>1449 Very well. Besides the obvious mistakes like typos and what not, any other changes I should apply from Yamino's comments?
>>1444 You can sort guides by the number if ratings they have, and you can set the scale from anywhere between a week to all time. The retranslation guide is fourth when sorted that way.
>>1450 Typos, yes, but otherwise do not apply any other changes.
>>1450 >>1452 To add to that, while suggestions are okay, we don't want to blindly follow what anyone suggests without properly checking it out first. Yamino is also… Kind of a sperglord, so I wouldn't take what he suggests at face value.
>>1453 Understood
Also did you get the alternate Gathering Castle PNG in the /v/ thread? Forwarding it here, compressing it to 90% should get it to a better size without needing to abbreviate.
>>1455 Yes, I was able to put it in.
RETRANSLATION V1.1 IS OUT NOW http://www23.zippyshare.com/v/FNIPN4r6/file.html If you already downloaded it, just overwrite the files Most of the typos and line breaks should be fixed. LAN Castle has also be renamed to Gathering Castle
>>1457 Updated the Steam page with the link and a brief changelog.
Oh, I just noticed in the DLCs for rebirth2, theres an option for NepGear Eye mask? Does it automatically download? I dont see it in my game properties>DLC
You did God's work, guize. There are still rough edges, but hey, you did it. Some are in Ch.2: White Sisters after beting up Linda; Meeting Lowee's Oracle for the first time; Looking for Rom's pen. I'll keep you posted if I find more.
>>1466 What's the issue with the second and third image? The first image is missing an exclamation mark (get this fixed for 1.2) but I'm not sure what's wrong with slides two and three.
>>1467 In fact wasn't the third line, (…if I ignored someone…) intentionally added by one of the translators? The document we used shows that it was a replacement for: "But if I ignored someone in need, I bet my sister would smack me with a wet noodle." Could you be more specific about the corrections you desire?
>>1467 Typos. I know, nobody's perfect. 2nd image: 2nd row, 5th word: "definitely" 3rd image: 1st row, 4th word "would"
>>1469 Ah, right, I completely missed that. Will fix.
>>1469 That's what having a fifth pair of eyes does. Thanks!
>>1471 Uh, can I just somehow glance over the script? Because DLing fixes and launching the game is too cool for me.
>>1471 >>1472 I remember you kept translation script somewhere on Google Docs
>>1473 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1w6h_ki4VfG5i3vbY9LeF8v6tUp0_ibnMnUQYaIclcnE/
>>1473 >>1474 Just make a comment on the things you'd like changed, and we'll get to them. Also mention the page no. you commented on…
>>1475 >>1473 Any new comments will show up in the comments tab. Do bear it mind that this will be a bit slot, since there are over six hundred pages in the docs. I recommend using chrome to edit it, and even then you'll have to let it sit for awhile before it'll load. We are planning on separating rb3 into different docs to work around this issue.
>>1476 Yes, it's a bit slow, so Chrome or Chromium is the least troublesome way to edit it from what we've found sadly. RB3's sheets are going to be a bit more split up between multiple docos to avoid that.
Ok, I've glanced over Prologue to Ch6: Evil's Fading Silhouette. Please check pages numbered 0123; 0154; 0163; 0165; 0172; 0206; 0211; 0220; 0371; 0372; 0375 for my comments. I've also left comments on 0054; 0055; 0068; 0223; 0373; 0402 about some minor (IMO) stuff. Off to catch some Zs for now.
>>1479 Thanks for your hard work, kind anon. I'd you are ever interested in helping with the RB3 project, feel free to drop us a line on steam or on irc.
>>1479 Thanks anon, you are a real human bean and a real hero.
There is a minor wording change in 0621. I'm still on Mobile, so I can't view comments yet, but I'll look through the changes >>1479 pointed out when I get back. >>1479
>>1482 I'm reviewing the changes and committing many of them now.
Okay, so, turns out, Google sheets does have a spellcheck function, it's just tucked away in the corner of nowhere. So, uh, I'm taking a pass through the entire script now. Hope this doesn't give you too much trouble, Editfag.
Just finished glancing over everything, please check pages numbered 0453; 0455; 0505; 0528; 0536; 0538; 0603; 0620; 0628; 0637; 0647; 0708; 0713. >>1484 Just finished, kek.
>>1485 Welp, I've addressed all the outstanding comments as well as run a spellcheck across the enitre doc. Hopefully this will be the last of the major edits we need to do with the docs, though feel free to send in any mistakes if you spot them.
>>1485 Oh, yes, if any of you two want edit rights, just ask for it. You seem like pretty decent people to have on the team.
>>1487 Thanks, but no, thanks. At least, not yet.
>>1485 Pages checked. Made a few additional alterations. We should have our editor compile a new version with these corrections and alterations after we fully greenlite it…
I'm so glad this works alongside the camera mod.
All right, I've made the changes on the pages mentioned, I'll upload what I have here http://www36.zippyshare.com/v/kEVLPA0V/file.html If I made any mistakes, let me know before I recompile them.
>>1500 The updated version of file 0403 is left out of the patch. Along with that, a whole host of misspelling shave also be corrected using the sheet's spellcheck function, most of which are undocumented. Are they included within the new patch as well?
>>1500 Slide 0534 also needs to be updated
>>1501 I don't see any new changes to 0403?
>>1504 Changed the order of Neptune's line abit. Sorry, forgot to indicate.
Thanks for marking the changes.
>>1501 All right.
Sorry lads, as much as I'd love to continue helping out, I'm feeling a bit tired out of rewriting each script, is there any possible way to convert multiple Doc files into TXT documents?
>>1508 I know LibreOffice can batch convert. At least in Linux it's just a simple commandline function, it might not work that way in Windows. That said I do believe that if you search for batch conversion on Google for this kind of thing, you'll find programs or online "drag and drop" conversion sites that'll convert those those over.
>>1509 All right, I converted the whole PDF into a text document. Might take some time to put in all the new scripts
Editor, would you be able to check the green bit in 0530? Some old text got in there, which I since deleted. Actually if someone could go into that document and nuke all the old text that we fixed, the shit in the margins we kept for backup purposes, that would be great…that seems to cause a spot of bother, too much to keep around anymore.
RETRANSLATION V1.2 IS HERE! http://www91.zippyshare.com/v/UDc6dmCI/file.html If you have the older versions downloaded, overwrite the files.
>>1512 Thanks, editfag. Sorry to create all this extra work for you.
Anyone have any luck getting the retranslation working with WINE?
>>1514 Never mind I got it; added kitserver.exe to Steam as a non-steam game. Have to make sure it launches the right environment.
It's randomly hanging whenever I get to the world map, anyone else having this issue?
I'm not a regular at /nep/, nor am I a huge Neptunia fan, but I do love the games, and I had to drop by to congratulate and thank you guys for this. I really appreciate it, the changes are so good, I bet even low power level normalfags who stumble on this while researching the game will use and appreciate it. Hope to see something as good (or maybe even better) when Re:Birth 3 comes out.
>>1512 When's the final release and will it ever be possible to mod in better performance? R;B1 ran fine on my PC but R;B2 has buffers during CPU transformations which are quite annoying.
Cheers for the massive effort you guys put in, the game is now finally funny.
>>1549 Try running with the 4GB patch or directly from the EXE for a start. Running it through Steam itself seems to create no end to problems. I did that earlier and noticed a downtick in crashes and janky gameplay.
>>1515 I've also done this, and there's a problem: it doesn't want to load the world map. I've got a black screen with tow dogoos and the text "loading" on the bottom right corner, but that's all. It works perfectly in dungeons.
>>1514 >>1515 I've done that too, and I have a serious problems: the game works in dungeons without any problem, but if I start it with the re;translation, then it refuses to load the world map. It just says "loading now…" and nothing else happens. Is it possible to make a kitserve.exe which just replaces the original files? I'm content with never facing the works of Doerr, so not having the original translation is not a problem for me.
>>1586 Use the instructions here to repack the modified files into the master game datapacks. Make backups. Then you can run the Retranslation using the original RB2 EXE. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=453717187 If you are a Linuxfag doing this I'll make the assumption that you can figure out how to do this on your own with the supplied documentation.
>>1596 Thanks, although I got suddenly more busy than I've anticipated, so I'll have to wait for a time before I can try it out. >If you are a Linuxfag doing this I'll make the assumption that you can figure out how to do this on your own with the supplied documentation. What's the point of using Linux, if I don't even try to break the system? I think I'll write down here if I had to figure out something on my own, so that others don't have to bother with that. Although I might be the only person in history who'll do this whole thing.
>>1600 I actually think there's some merit to having a Kitserver-free installation of the patch, but obviously distributing whole game files won't fly on Steam. I guess one could organize something that's a bit more fiddly, some sort of patcher that either automates the tools or directly patches the game files some other way. Anyway, I'll be very interested to hear your experience.
>>1586 >>1600 Yeah I had exactly that problem, as >>1596 says the correct solution is to repack it. Reposting from https://appdb.winehq.org/commentview.php?iAppId=16901&iVersionId=32212&iThreadId=95859 >I found steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=453717187 and used web.archive.org/web/20150611182521/http://a.pomf.se/uvvqvf.mp4 to repack the .pac files. Only took about 5 mins once I worked out how to use the packer. There's probably still merit in fixing kitserver, there's clearly something it didn't like about my set up but I'm happy enough that it's working now. It's super easy to make it work once you know what you're doing (I wasted a lot of time trying to unpack and repack the whole thing from scratch, but it's much simpler than that).
You got this sounding pretty good. Any news on a vita patch?
>>3602 never ever
