[Projet] Traduction des sous-titres de Shenmue 1 et 2

[Ryo Suzuki]

Ok SiZiOUS, thanks is clear for me now (I don't read well you explanation sorry)

I wonder what can happen if I rip the file HUMANS.AFS to gain more space for my own rip (and by example have a larger dummy file for better read), I have to test it....

Another thing I will like to do in my translation is modify some in game textures. I don't know if this is possible...

Like this:



or for example this model in the hair salon:



where are this graphics in the game? Can be edited?

I know that you have change the texture of cocacola cans in the game:



how can I do this?

If we can see and edit the game textures maybe can translate some sign in the game like this:



and the characters faces, I see you suceeed riping the faces of NPC in Shenmue 2. Where are the faces of the characters in Shenmue 1?

Too many answers....

THANKS!

Yeah, this could be cool. I have suggered this before I can create a test program to do this, are you interrested ?

There are in the HUMANS.AFS. Check for PKF files, they contain some data and PVR textures binded in one PKF file. You can rip PVR from these files with Universal PVR Extractor from SWAT.

Oh! is true!! Thanks!!!

Now I can view the textures of the characters.

But... is possible to edit?

I make a test with INESAN, aparently is the file INE_.PKF

I edit his face for testing purpouses and change it for the Yu Suzuki face, like this:





I patch teh PKF file again, and i check that the new file have the texture change extracting it again. Seems ok, but I test in the game and Ine San have the same face

how can this be possible? Anybody has try to change textures of faces, hands, clothes, etc??

Could be interesting...

And by the way, how can I change characters? I mean change characters ID in a scene, I see some Shenmue Mods in youtube and exchange a character by another.

I will like change the normal 3d model of Ryo by the beta model of Ryo. Is a Ryo very old, almost a Sega Saturn Ryo. I will like offer the patch in 2 options, normal and Ryo-Saturn model. I wonder if is this possible, I see this video:

YouTube - Ryo - saturn model running on Dreamcast

could be possible change this Ryo model and play with it all the game?? I supose only change a model by another... but where are the in-game 3d models?

Too many questions, sorry and thanks for all your help.

P.D: And sorry for my bad english

Ryo Suzuki for some model like Ine-san you have SD model in the HumansAFS and a ( HD ) model in the NPC folder ( for cinematics with more polygons ). My Friend you are NUTS ^^ to want to put the head of Yu Suzuki on the face of Ine-san

But for your question for changing characters in Shenmue it's really easy.
We'll take two caracters of the disc 4 of Shenmue 2 for exemple ( Xiuying Caracter ID = SYE and Shenhua Caracter ID = SIN )
Extract the HumansAFS in a folder. Now take your hex editor and open the PKF and PKS file of Xiuying as you know it's SYE.PKS and SYE.PKF now replace all the caracter ID of Xiuying ( SYE ) by Shenhua's Caracter ID ( SIN ) like screenhot here:



You must do that for PKS and PKF and don't forget to save ^^.
Now you must make the reverse that mean than you must replace the Caracter ID of ( Shenhua ) SIN.PKF and SIN.PKS by Xiuying's Caracter ID ( SYE ) with your hex editor and save, it's obligatory. Now rebuilt the HumansAFS.
Tha last step it's the Human.IDX, you must reverse the Caracter ID like the screen:



and the result here:




In fact the Dreamcast believe that Xiuying is Shenhua and reverse, with this technique we can replace the caracter but sometimes there is bugs and this does not work but the technique is exactly the same for Shenmue 1 and Shenmue 2, the only difference is that in Shenmue 1 all the caracter ID include 4 letters and for Shenmue 2 it's 3 letters, if you have problem Ryo let me know.

[Ryo Suzuki]

Thanks again.

I don't know the existence of 2 models of important characters. When I see Ine san in the intro scene I think the texture swap don't work.

I test it again and... the fact is don't work

look at this, the old woman as become the INVISIBLE GIRL



I check it and the original PVR don't have alpha channel, and the edited one is the same atributes... I don't understand....

Maybe is the PVRExt tool, when patches the original file corrupt the textures images...

Anybody has edit any in-game texture? from the characters, or scenario?

I'll test the character exchange tomorrow, thanks for the tutorial.

P.D: I put Yu face for testing, I don't want really Ine-San-Suzuki

Progrés sur la version 99 minutes :
Disque 1 : Aucune retouchesur l'audio , AFS recompressés
Disque 2 : J'ai recompressé les AHX du disque 2 de la section free quest uniquement, l'espace gagné permet de faire rentrer le disque dans 94 minutes.

Je vais monter à 97 minutes, le maximum toléré pour les CD sur la dreamcast je pense
(En tout cas elle n'aimait pas mon disque de 98 minutes et 55 secondes)

Ca crachote , je vais voir pour ameliorer la qualité sonore...

Pour ceux qui veulent savoir, la version 80min est finie, une release en englais est déjà faite sur Underground-Gamer (ShenmueII FullSpeech Edition).

Étant donné la nature "80min" de cette version, il est certain que "ça crachote" comme le dis si bien MagicSeb. Cependant les voix rauques ne sont pas trop dérangeantes et je trouve qu'on s'y habitue bien vite, c'est quand même mieux que des conversations entre muets .

Bref, on ne peut pas vraiment faire mieux en gardant tout les speech en 80min. MagicSeb, avec les outils que je lui ai remis, devrait être en mesure de faire une release de toute première qualité sur 99min.

@MagicSeb: Je ne crois pas que la DC ait des problèmes avec les cd de 98+min, car les gd-rom sont 120min (110 pour la session2) et que j'ai lis quelquepart que les cd en gigarec de 110 minutes fonctionnait à merveille.

Cheers,

FG

Je crois que ce sont mes DCs qui ont des soucis avec ces medias mais bon ce n'est pas grave on est bien au bord du disque tout de meme ^^

[kogami-san]

Voilà la tolerance de la Dreamcast !!

Graver max => 852mo !!! (894 205 623 octet) 99:47 minutes (minute Dreamcast)

Ton fichier data ne dois pas dépasser 852mo !!! (894 205 623 octet) avec un LBA de 11702

[MagicSeb]

ma LBA est à 45000 avec le pack DATA/DATA du gars de la famille

98 min et 52 secondes ca passe

A 12500 sur sox j'ai un son bin meilleur, je pense que je vais en rester sur cette valeur pour le disque 3.
