(.awg files)įor textures the game uses TPL files and RGB5A3, RGBA32, C8 and CMPR image formats. It uses a slightly different implementation of the U8 format for packing files. The game uses LZ10 and LZ11 for compression (.c* files). I reverse engineered most of the needed formats (most of them were already documented on the net). The series have quite a few recurring Japanese themes such as Matsuri, Oni, the Don & Kat SFX, do we need to translate everything? (Would the game loose a bit of it's Japanese feeling?) Waiting for a translator.Ĭhallenge titles done. (If I understand the Common Creative 3 License right, you can use Anime lyric translations from Wikia pages?)Ī few menu done. I also did a few menu options and the whole Dojo challenge list.Īquabluu from Taiko Time is king enough to let me use lyrics and unlockables from his website. I gathered information on the track list from around the web, I got song titles, artists and sources covered. I don't mind doing all the type setting/photoshoping. Every bits of translation I did until now would need to be double checked. I have every little knowledge of the Japanese language and English is not my first language. The team is only made up of one member (my self) as I am still looking for a Japanese -> English translator. I'm looking for a Japanese -> English translator. This is what actually made me pursue studies in computer sciences, I got my degree and my free time back in September! This is my first modding/translation project.Ī few years ago (6 - 7 years ago?) I tweaked World of Warcraft files here and there for aesthetics and world building purposes. I would also like to translate the other four Wii games if this project is successful! It make things easier when it comes to reverse engineering. This is the entry I invested the most time in. Many enhancements could be added to the game such as: adding more info to song titles (artists for the Anime category, etc.), adding romanization to the lyrics, tweaking (for example Hard difficulty in the first Wii game have laxer hit windows compared to other games).

Translated lyrics really brings a new level of cheerfulness to the game. It is always a plus to have song titles translated, you know where the songs are coming from and it is easier to discover new artists. (Sadly the international community is still nearly nonexistent) Having options and settings translated would ease new players in. Nearly every opus contains a story mode. I discovered this wonderful game last year, it never misses to cheer me up!Ī lot a people will ask why a rhythm game when you can play the game without understanding anything.
