[FF7PC-98] Spanish FF7.exe 1.03 project (1.03b)

[titeguy3]

Beta release! The installer is pretty simplistic, so there shouldn't be any problems with it. All it does is rename sflevel.lgp to flevel.lgp if you haven't done so already. I'm gonna wait a while and see what kinds of problems people mention, then make a final release if necessary.

Este instalador es mas o menos simple entonces no debe haber ningún problema con el. Solamente cambia el nombre de "sflevel.lgp" a "flevel.lgp" si no lo has cambiado ya.

Assuming the game actually starts up, good things to test would be:

• Submarine Minigame
• Chocobo racing
• Snowboarding Minigame
• alignment of text in menu contexts (i.e. shops, etc)
• Other minigames
• Battle square

If something doesn't work, be sure to post your APP.log so I can see why.
Si algo no funciona correctamente, déjame ver tu APP.log para que puedo conocer porque.


Okay, so I've been working on making the FFVII Remix Patch compatible with all different languages of the game, and thus far, I've hit more than a few snags. I've been able to work mostly everything out except for the Spanish version of the game.

Just about every virus scanner (my own included) view the Spanish ff7.exe 1.02 as a virus, and most will quarantine it immediately, leaving the poor unsuspecting user with no ff7.exe.

I'm looking to (attempt to) fix this by taking the English ff7.exe, and translating the strings used in-game to the Spanish ones, and redirecting the filepaths (cr_us --> cr_sp) etc... all while not modifying the filesize (if possible). Essentially making a new spanish ff7.exe 1.02 that doesn't trigger antivirus software.

Before I can do any of this, however, I'm going to need somebody to post the file nomenclature for the Spanish version of FF7. If it's anything like the German version of the game, this most likely won't work (easily, at least) due to the fact that the names of the some files in the German version are extended by a character (prefaced by the letter 'g' i.e. gsub.lgp, ghud.tim, gtext.tim, etc...) which throws off some string arrays which appear to just have enough memory allocated to fit them.

First thing's first, I'm gonna need to figure out how get Norton 360 to give me that ff7.exe back....it has a problem with listing recent quarantines... I'll post progress and problems as I encounter them...

[Eslava]

Here you go some help:
(I'm posting the files that are different in the installation folder. If you want the discs ones aswell say so but i think all the different ones are contained within the installation folder)

/battle
 seffect1.tex
 seffect2.tex
 seffect3.tex

/cd
 cr_sp.lgp
 disc_sp.lgp

/field
 Sflevel.lgp

/menu
 menu_sp.lgp

/minigame
 high-sp.lgp
 scondor.lgp
 SCHOCOBO.lgp
 snowboard-sp.lgp
 ssub.lgp

/wm
 world_sp.lgp

As you can see they were a bit unconsistent with the nomenclature, some having s at the start, others -sp at the end etc...

[titeguy3]

Cool, thanks! I'd say I'm like half-way through with the translations, already... I hope they show up properly...

[Kranmer]

i sort of already fixed this virus problem awhile back
http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=9018.0
i made it so all virus scanners execpt clamAV wont detect it as a virus (although i think now i could problerly make one that even clamAV wont detect). And to test my work i used
http://virusscan.jotti.org
which is a online virus scanner but it uses 20 different virus scanners and my own norton virus scanner.
(although i fixed the problem i had to pack the EXE which does mean that other patches wont work with it so your project is still very usefull)

[albertopsp]

Titeguy, I think this project is great because it solved (I think) errors in the minigames and menus will be translated ... If you need anything ask me.

[titeguy3]

Alright, I've got a first rendition out, and I'm gonna need people to test for me.

Si alguien quiere asistirme, se puede examinar el ff7.exe pero ten cuidado, no estoy seguro si el alpha release funcionará o no. Recuerda que hacer un backup del ff7.exe antes que examinar esto.

[AlbusJC]

thank you very much. I'll try this when I have some time

[albertopsp]

Spanish:

Titeguy he probado el ff7.exe(1.03a) y al principio no iniciaba el juego , pero tras observar el archivo APP he visto que me daba un error , lo he solucionado renombrando el archivo scondor.lgp , a scondor.lgpp ( 2 p). El juego se ha iniciado , pero directamente en el menu inicial( Nuevo juego , Continuar.) sin video de eidos ni nada. Ahora voy a probar los minijuegos.

Todo esto lo he hecho con el juego original en español , sin mods ni parches.

English:

I tested the ff7.exe (1.03a) and at first did not start the game, but after observing the APP file I saw that gave me an error, I solved renaming the file scondor.lgp to scondor.lgpp (2 p .) The game has started, but directly in the initial menu (New Game, Continue.) Eidos no video or anything. Now I'm going to try the mini-games.

All this I did with the original game in Spanish without mods or patches.

 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Edit:
Spanish:

Titeguy he vuelto a probar y he conseguido que el juego arranque con videos , haciendo que los videos se vean desde el disco y no desde el Disco Duro.

En cuanto a los minijuegos he probado el minijuego del condor y no funciona se ve la pantalla negra pero el juego continua , puede que sea por que el ejecutable que has usado sea el de la version inglesa , porque el menu principal me sigue saliendo en ingles......No se....

English:

Titeguy I try again and I started the game with videos. Modifying the path to the videos loaded from the disk and not from the hard drive.

As for the mini I tested Condor minigame is not working and black screen but the game continues, it may be that the executable that you used is that of the English version because the main menu keeps coming to me in English ...... I do not know ....

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Edit2: No hay ejecutable de la version 1.02 en español , por eso puede que aparedca el error.....Si puedieras hacerlo con el ejecutable 1.00 de la version en español...

[titeguy3]

No estoy seguro porque los FMV's no están funcionando.

Por favor, déjame ver el APP.log después de tratar jugar uno de los minigames que no funciona.

[albertopsp]

DELETE THIS MENSAGE.

[albertopsp]

Funcionan los FMVs solo desde CD. Todos los minijuegos funcionan menos el de snowboard. Da error al cargar un savedata de un CD diferente al que estas usando/emulando. Esos son los defectos por ahora.

EDIT: Con el ejecutable 1.00 Esp.  funciona el minijuego del snowboard y no da error al cambiar de disco...

Se puede solucionar esos 2 errores en tu ejecutable "1.03" si quieres te puedo dar el ejecutable 1.00 para que lo observes.

[titeguy3]

Gracias, Alberto. Seria mejor si puedas escribir los nombres de todos los fuentes en "snowboard-sp.lgp" para mi. Se puede mirarlos por Ficedula's "LGPTools". Me parece que no funciona porque los nombres en el archivo son diferentes, pero no estoy seguro como.

[albertopsp]

En el archivo snowboard-sp.lgp nohay ningun archivo llamado ea_k.tex...Donde busco ese archivo??

[Eslava]

Por lo general los nombres de los archivos dentro de los lgps no cambian con el idioma pero unos pocos si lo hacen. Suelen empezar por la letra s de spanish, en ingles serian con e, si echais un vistazo a la sheet de file reconstruction project podeis comparar cuales son los que cambian puesto que ahi estan los de la version inglesa. Creo que puse 'different filename depending on language' en las que eran diferentes asi es mas fácil de encontrar, aunque no se si lo hice en todos. Siento no poder ser de más ayuda ya que ahora mismo no puedo acceder a mis archivos de ff7

[albertopsp]

Yes! He conseguido por fin iniciar el minijuego del snowboard!! Gracias Eslava tu aporte ha sido decisivo.
snowboard-sp.lgp:

Estos son los archivos con los que funciona.Pero titeguy tu quieres saber como estaban antes no??

[titeguy3]

Que fueron los nombres originales?

[albertopsp]

Sorry. Así estaba:

[titeguy3]

Gracias. (espero que) Ya lo he corregido.

[albertopsp]

Pues parece que va perfecto. Ahora si puedes solucionar cuando seleccionas un savedata de otro disco que no se te salga a windows estaria perfecto...

Voy a seguir probandolo.

Ahora solo falta que adapten los mods a la version española jajaja. Tu harás algo titeguy??

PD: Titeguy te importa si hago publicidad??

haha, cualquieras. Mas gente = mas problemas que corregir. Creo que la mayoría de los mods que funciona con el versión Ingles deben funcionar con este versión.

[titeguy3]

Puedes dejarme ver un APP.log despues del error de cambiar disco, Alberto?

[albertopsp]

Ok , jejeje

It appears that the link is not worknng, as I only get a blank page when I click on it and a 1KB file when I do Save As...

This file is crucial for spanish players who want to play with the mods on this site!

If someone has the file can you please upload it on a mirror server?

[UGerstl]

Hi sylandro,

i hope i found the right file for you: FFVII_1-03b_Spanish.exe
