Спасибо большое за подсказку. Я не обратил внимание, что шрифты можно рисовать самому.

ты не сделал таблицу символов под шрифт, тдв я не смотрел, но по .txt это так и есть.
должно быть так:
you didn’t make a character table for the font, I didn’t look, but on .txt it is.
should be like this:

[Lev-Lion]

Наконец-то теперь все в полном поряде! Сделал таблицу txt и заодно сделал некоторые правки к самим шрифтам в tdw, в том числе и ширину букв. Теперь кажется все идеально работает. Русский кодер для программы готов. Еще раз спасибо за помощь. Выкладываю финальную версию кодера для Deling.

Finally, now everything is in perfect order! I've made a table in txt and made few final corrections in tdw, including the letter width change. Russian text coder for Deling is ready. Here is the link to the final version https://mega.co.nz/#!fAA2VA4Q!AAAAAAAAAAAj_C4o14MrEwAAAAAAAAAAI_wuKNeDKxM

Shikulja, myst6re - Thank you very much. Now I can start working on my version of Russian translation of FF8 Remaster.

Good I'm glad you did it

So I was editing field.fs for a potential mod, and put in a code that didn't agree with another code and it crashed the game.  When I located the area of the field where the game crashed I couldn't remember 100% how to revert it back to the original script. I'd made a backup of the og 'field.fs' thinking that I could swap the two out inside of 'lang-en' if need be, take a look it at the original in Deling to figure out what I did, and then swap the 'field.fs' I was working on back in and go from there.  When I tried loading up the original field.fs I was surprised to find that Deling couldn't open it.  Well, it opened but it could only show the file list under Import/Export. It wouldn't actually show me any of the texts, scripts etc.

I suppose I don't fully understand the nature of the program.  I tried opening up the original(backup) in the folder where I have it stored and it wouldn't open it at all (that tells me the location of the files inside the folder structure is important to their functionality within Deling).  I'm a little worried about screwing something up and not being able to revert back to an earlier version...or maybe there's a way to do that but I'm not sure how?

[myst6re]

A field archive is three files: field.fs, field.fl and field.fi, you need to backup the three.

[faospark]

is it possible thought to inject cid's low poly character model on that scene on Balamb?

[myst6re]

You currently can't add or remove a model with Deling. Maybe one day, that's not really difficult, you need to inject the model into the chara.one subfile.
But Deling can handle script edition for the new model  .

[Takigan]

I was editing a script.  I hit compile and got the following message:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Tt-M3Cm7r7FXgDtypp7TTYWe1RKAOu-n/view?usp=sharing

I deleted the change I made and hit compile again, and it gave me the same message.  I've added over a hundred different lines to over a dozen different fields and this is the first time I've seen this.  Maybe it's an issue with the compiler I'm using with how it handles "0"?

(sorry for the hyperlink.  I tried embedding the image a few different ways but couldn't find anything that worked.  Normally I know how but this forum is weird compared to other ones I use)

EDIT: It also does this with TEMP7

[Callisto]

Remove the "TEMP" so only the 0/7 remains, then it should compile again. Deling sometimes can't handle it for some reason.

[Takigan]

Remove the "TEMP" so only the 0/7 remains, then it should compile again. Deling sometimes can't handle it for some reason.

So, to be clear, delete the 'temp' in front of the number.  Then add in the necessary push/pop/opcodes, then compile.  Then re-add 'temp' in front of the number and compile again?

[Callisto]

Just removing "TEMP" so the script looks like this should do the trick. In earlier versions of this tool, such additions weren't displayed and they aren't even needed in newer versions at all. They sometimes prevent successful compiling if they are present, so make sure to remove them if that happens. The same goes for "VAR" and "Model", for example.

Is this functionality on the cards for Deling? It'd open a lot of doors, as from what I remember doing this manually involves updating hex offsets in various different files and it was easy to lose track of them during the process; I managed it once but it was in a field with very little pre-existing field scripts:

Spoiler: show

I have a lot of notes from the process that I could write up if they'd help in implementing it as a process into the tool.

[lyokoffx]

I want to know the extension of the sounds under deling to export them, and is there a way to convert them to .wav

[myst6re]

Currently you can't export sounds

[lyokoffx]

thank you for your part

I managed to find how to extract sounds using this link

http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14944.0

I forgot to ask you also

1- the Backround models of the and the Character combat models, are also in The same case

if so give me how to convert them to .fbx or .obj

2- and also if you have any idea how it works with the music of this game = extraction and conversion

[myst6re]

Yes

2- and also if you have any idea how it works with the music of this game = extraction and conversion

On the PC version, the game uses midis stored at Data/Music/dmusic directory. The Remaster version uses oggs stored in zzz archives.
To open and work with FF8 PC midis, you can use DirectMusic Producer https://www.ff8.fr/pub/Microsoft_DirectMusic_Producer.7z but the software is a little old.
On the PS version, the game uses special midis (I name it AKAO) stored everywhere it is needed, you need to emulate to PS1 sound chip to play it. Someone did it long time ago and converted known akaos to it own midi format: PSF. You can download them here: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=19968.0

[lyokoffx]

thanks a lot for your help

I have a problem with your second link

1- I downloaded these two files

FFNx-FF8Music-v1.3
FFNx-Steam-v1.7.2.0

2- I copy the "psf folder" from the "FFNx-FF8Music-v1.3" archive to the root of my steam games folder like this



3- I edited the FFNx.cfg like this

Code: [Select]

#use_external_music = yes
external_music_path = psf
external_music_ext = minipsf
winamp_in_plugin = psf/in_psf.dll

# - Window mode will use 640x480
# - Fullscreen mode will use your desktop resolution
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#window_size_x = 0
#window_size_y = 0

#[INTERNAL RESOLUTION SCALE]
# The scale is in multiples of 640x480
# The scale factor is used to render internally at a larger size then the display, this will then be downscaled to the games current resolution
# This is required to avoid visual glitches that may happen when the game is not rendered in a 4:3 aspect ratio
# Default = 4
# NOTE: Scaling starts always from 2. If you set a lower number, this will be automatically reset to 2.
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#internal_resolution_scale = 4

#[PRESERVE ASPECT]
# Preserve original game aspect ratio of (4:3) by adding black bars on the left and right side (if needed)
# When off the game will be stretched to fit the window's aspect ratio; Be aware the game may look wrong though.
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#preserve_aspect = yes

#[ENABLE VSYNC]
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

#[REFRESH RATE]
# Screen refresh rate.
# Default is 0 = use current screen refresh rate

#[LINEAR FILTERING]
# Allow the usage of linear filtering for textures.
# Please note: some things look slightly better with this option on, but alot of textures just lose their detail.
# This option only affects low-res textures, high-res replacements will still be filtered where appropriate.

#[ANTIALIASING]
# Enable antialiasing filtering, this is done in the last pass when downsampling from the current supersampled rendering ( based on internal_resolution_scale logic )
# Available choices are:
# - 0: Disabled ( Default )
# - 2: 2x
# - 4: 4x
# - 8: 8x

# These flags will allow you to make use of compatible in_* and out_* DLL plugins you were used to load on Winamp itself.
# Through these flags you can for example decide to use an input plugin to play something FFNx never though about ( like MINIPSF files )
# and output the sound data to your custom plugin which may add custom reverb and much more.

4- and I have copy the files from the archive "FFNx-Steam-v1.7.2.0" that I have modified in the same directory



and I have that



there is no sound modification in the game nor data extraction

[myst6re]

Answer here

[andreasaspenberg]

i found an executable but, it is all in french and its english language file is not in the archive. where can i found an english language file for it?

[myst6re]

Hello, go to Options > Langue

[andreasaspenberg]

i tried that already but, my only option is french, because i do not have additional language files. you clearly did not read my post. if you had done so you would have seen that.

[myst6re]

Sorry I didn't understand the issue here. Please download the official release from here: https://github.com/myst6re/deling/releases/tag/0.10.1b

[andreasaspenberg]

that archive contains the english language file. last time i downloaded it from github, i found an archive that did not contain the english language file. the problem is now solved but, try to include the english language file in all archives of the editor.

[piano221]

Is it possible to modify squall (as the leader field character) for another character like Edea or Rinoa with the editor? If yes, how can I do this?

Nvm, I forgot to compile after modifications.

[myst6re]
