.hack//LINK Unofficial Fan Translation Project

[Yue]

I can read Japanese and own .hack//LINK. Not exactly fluent speaking it or able to translate in my head, but you have my sword.

Thanks Chmaki, that is now set as my desktop wallpaper. It puts a smile on my face everyday.

This is my post proving I am not dead.

[Funkdat]

I hope you guys are going strong on this still. This is the only game I've ever really cared about having in english.

[Aida Ovan]

Great to see that you guys are working on this. i can't wait to give this game a try

Hey Jun, as promised in the schedule I'm going to make sure the movie release comes out this month, do you think end of the month would also be a fair timetable for your changes to the patcher? Or even middle of next month should be okay. Then we'll put out the first patch in October.

[JunBansyoya]

It should be done sooner than the end of the month but then again I said the same thing last month... But this time it definitely will be done, for the first patch we are just focusing on the main story text right? I will save the other file type handlers till after I get the first version patcher done. My handler for CM files is near perfect and the SC is coming along as well, All other files appear to be null terminated strings so there will only be one other handler(I hope). We will just need to write new "triggers" for the various string locations we find.

Apologies go out to the fans, I feel like I am holding back the project ATM.

Which YouTube channel are we using for the video(s)? Do you need anymore captures (for a "directors cut")?

[Kuukai]

You're not holding anything back, this is why the schedule is the way it is, the movie work overlaps with the patcher.

We'll work out the release, might be easier to use Zer0's channel. I'm not sure we need anything else for this release but I'll let you know if we do...

[twilight_keeper]

Good to hear. I myself just got the game, and my paltry understanding of the language isn't enough to get the entire plot.

My current desktop setup, showing all the tools I am currently using... consider it a sneak preview.


Why would I post it, because well, you know so some smart people can get some ideas from my source code, also because tonight is the night I finished the 2 major file handlers for this project, the patches now successfully patches SC and CM files, with only MV and null files left.

Some details,
As we said before SC are files found in the demo/sc folder of the file structure, likewise with the CM files, and MV.

I never mentioned the null files but these are essentially all the other files that hold text, they store text as null separated strings, no crazy formatting here just text with blanks (null being char 0x00, where spaces are 0x20). Essentially this makes them the easiest to make an editor for, the problem is that they are everywhere, I doubt I have found all of them yet, but I know where the main bank of them are.

MV is surprisingly the hardest to make because as people may remember last time we tried 1 of the 3 of them failed.

I hope everyone is brushing up on their command line computing in anticipation.

Also I will finally setup a svn server tomorrow. Kuukai I will e-mail the details.

Smart man - you have Zune marketplace. I now know of three people who have a Zune, me included.

[Kuukai]

Is the other one Bill Gates?

[JunBansyoya]

Awesome what's Bill's Zune tag... haha

I don't actually use the market place because I am in Canada, and Canada sucks if you want to legitimately buy music online, because essentially we have laws against american/foreign companies selling music and books in Canada(at least that is my understanding of it, I might be wrong). We also don't have Barnes and Nobel. These laws essentially at this point have painted us into a corner with monopolies.

Zune has some very nice hardware and that is why I use it. I also know one other person with a Zune, this person has it because her daughter works at RIM and they don't want to support Apple.

[Aida Ovan]

I also have a Zune. i didn't think they even supported it anymore lol. glad to see i'm not the only one with one

[Kuukai]

I just don't see the point. I had a $15 Sansa generiplayer that was also a USB key and a radio (and displayed Japanese text).

...That is, until I had a phone. Which plays FLAC.

But I guess if the choice was iPod or Zune, I'd go with Zune.

[twilight_keeper]

Same. I just use my phone, loaded with FLAC stuffs.

[Kuukai]

Just so everyone knows, we're still shooting for cranking out the movie this month as promised. So, sometime within the next 8 days we're hoping...

This couldn't have coincided better with the movie announcement, now anyone wanting to jump into the 3rd Season based on this trailer will have somewhere to start! (Unlike Quantum, the movie will almost certainly directly connect to Link, but the way it will do so is probably too spoilery for the trailer)

[Kuukai]

(In this case you would have wanted to double-post here)

This is the first half of .hack//Link's main story in Youtube format:

EDIT: First part done! Enjoy!

The rest will come out... in August, like I said... >.>

[phoenixv5]

Didn't see the whole thing, but awesome work!
