Help
I don't know if I missed the read me file , missed instructions, or what.
I have no clue what to do with the "af strings". So could some explain to me what to do? I patched the rom but what do I do with the af strings?

You don't do anything with them, someone who has knowledge of how to insert them into the ROM and make a working IPS patch with that data (Hi there, ZOINKITY!DarkxHero7 said:
Yes, right now, this game has already started being translated, though most of the people who were working on the project previously seem to have disappeared for the most part...
It's actually nowhere near done, textwise, we're only really just getting done with the intro portions. However, there IS a demo downloadable (in IPS format) at this link.
Hi. ^^;
And I've been really, really dumb... And now I'm feeling a bit embarrassed. Gwhee.
Well...
I pulled the translated text from the GameCube Animal Crossing, control codes and all, though some of it isn't fitted to the Japanese events/holidays/etc... It's here: AF Strings
That's all it was, really... I shouldn't have gotten so impatient... :blush:
Well, when you consider that it's a work-in-progress hack to a precompiled Nintendo 64 game, it makes a bit of sense...
Still, I'll be glad to see this work coming to fruition soon. (and once again, real sorry for being so impatient... :blushI don't really understand... how much of it is done? The train intro? Well... couldn't you get alot of the translation done, not by trying to find fluent Japanese speakers, but by looking at Animal Crossing for the Gamecube? It'd be difficult to translate town-folk speak that way, but you could easily translate scripted events, like Jingle. And we'd be a little further on the way. ^.^
*cough* Not to be rude, but you really should read the last couple of pages on a thread before posting. That's actually the ONLY source I use for translating text. In fact, I was able to concoct a nice little thing... basically the entire Animal Crossing script for using to translate Doubutsu no Mori... (the script of Animal Forest, save for a few choice things, is exactly the same as the script of Animal Crossing.)
So we only haven't really made progress because Zoinkity (the only person who can deal with the only slightly edited scripts i uploaded) has been sick for a while. I got sick after he got better, apparently. It's a bit silly. :x

ok, I got the Tranlation, but I don't know how to install it. how do I?
... I'm not answering this question anymore. Read the thread or GTFO. Thank you kindly.
HUTTAH! IT LIVES AGAIN!
First off, I have an interim patch, combining Lysol's latest update with the variable-width font.
Second, I have a pack of WIP string data sets[B/]. It includes Mail data, Menu selections data, and mail strings.
Finally, I have a nice selection of Animal Forest GameShark codes by Mike007.
Now, praise me, give me sweets and flowers, and then get back to work. I know that's what I'm doing. Especially the sweets and flowers part.

How do I get the data packs in the rom? Look at the bolds.

You were saying, sir?
Hmmm... well, there are 36 pages, you can understand why I wouldn't bother. XP
Well, I'm glad progress is going on.

Everything will be, soon. There's a huge amount of text to be dropped in, and about the only thing holding it back is that I have no clue where one string starts and the next ends so I can't build a table for the insertion.
Ordinarily I'd do it myself, but the main text bank is over a megabyte large.
Patience! We'll get it all sorted out eventually.

Speaking of that... You should have a Private Message now.

From dropping in all the text from AC? Well, nothing like slowdown etc. Assuming I don't botch the job and parse the entire table wrong, there really isn't much that could happen. Text retrieval isn't being changed, just the addresses used and the size of each.
Probably the worst that can happen would be:
1) overrunnning the dialog box
2) a mismatch between what string should be called becuase the order is different, ie. there's an additional string in AC versus AF
3) an invalid 7F command that could cause any number of effects.
That's what debuggers are for ;*)
