FF8 Tools / Re: [FF8PC/PSX] Save editor - Hyne (1.8.2)

« on: 2015-02-28 12:46:10 »

Thanks sith but myst6re is right - building from source is fine for me, I actually finished work with my Final Fantasy VIII saves a month or so ago, its just taken this long to reach this investigation task.

So, another repo again! Well, I certainly prefer github to Sourceforge so thanks, will switch to that. I managed to revive Ultima Weapon - with the HexaEdit Field tab, byte 15D (row 150 14th byte in) has been changed from 20 (in the save just after killing him) to 4 (save just before the battle, where 10 steam units are available).

I'll test this on a separate save now.

Edit: Works - currently Hyne only has the moment editor for Field data - where would be the most appropriate place to allow users to fiddle this value?

Final edit: Revived Omega Weapon too: Field data, byte 76 (row 70 7th byte in) ab -> 2b.

Yeah I had found that previously, hence the command output I pasted originally.

However with this new git clone, doing lupdate *.pro, lrelease *.pro and then copying the .qms to the build directory, I finally have a fully translated interface! I had already reached this point yesterday, so I don't know what has meaningfully changed aside from starting afresh again.

So tomorrow I'll see if I can compare my two FFVIII saves to try to work out what bits to flip to restore Omega Weapon and Ultima Weapon again

Thanks

Right, and you haven't yet committed in git on the master branch since the migration (yeah I know about git-svn, I use it with my KVIrc work).

Hmm, wonder why I've been looking at the svn repo then. According to the git log, you've been using git-svn, which suggests you're still using svn? Or perhaps thats how SourceForge exposes a git repo by running git-svn in the background...

OK, I'll hold off on what I am doing until you've had a look. Do you want a screenshot of the semi-translated UI?

I have finally reached looking into this - the continuing failure to translate all strings, even when the English ts file is almost complete (testing the master branch).

It is some sort of encoding screwup - pretty much every string in the source that I can see with an accent or cap is not translated in the GUI (but the French characters do render properly so 'QTextCodec::setCodecForTr(QTextCodec::codecForName("UTF-8"));' is taking effect).

I have spent a few hours working on this problem, and the best I have so far is the following from an lupdate *.pro call:

================================================================================

lupdate warning: Codec for tr() 'UTF-8' disagrees with existing file's codec 'ISO-8859-1'. Expect trouble.
Updating 'hyne_en.ts'...
    Found 1660 source text(s) (0 new and 1660 already existing)
    Kept 5 obsolete entries
lupdate warning: Codec for tr() 'UTF-8' disagrees with existing file's codec 'ISO-8859-1'. Expect trouble.
Updating 'hyne_ja.ts'...
    Found 1660 source text(s) (0 new and 1660 already existing)
    Kept 4 obsolete entries

================================================================================

There are definitely some bad strings in the ts file (obvious double-width characters), and a quick check in the source shows that bad text is around - e.g. MetadataDialog.cpp in MetadataDialog::build(), the HelpWidget constructor call.

I plan on Thursday to kill off all bad characters in the ts file to see if this makes a difference.

This is a Debian Testing machine, so UTF-8 has been standard for about 12-13 years...

Right, I see what is going on now - being English this is very unusual for me - even though it was completely translated from French before, its only partially translated now, so I'm getting a partial English/French interface.

Have read the README and clearly its a little more than just make... sorry.

Theres no cmake or autotools files so it was a simple 'make -j 8' job, running inplace - I did this previously (I was on this forum a year ago, looks like they erased my account since). Other than the language it seems to run fine.

Debian Testing machine here for reference.

Everything (including hyne_en.qm) is in the one directory.

Just pulled the SVN code - the interface is in French, even when you set the language to English and restart. Just say if I need to post this on the bugtracker, but the latter is pretty dead.

Similar to an earlier poster, I'm trying to see if I can refight Ultima Weapon and Omega Weapon.
