Monster Girl Quest Paradox Demo Translation v0.2

79 Comments

Same deal as last time on installing. http://dargothtranslations.wordpress.com/2014/08/18/mgq-paradox-demo-translation-v0-1/

Oh yeah, I should probably mention:

Go here and get the 1.01 patch: http://mon110.sakura.ne.jp/mong/taiken.html (refresh the page if you still see links to 1.00). Also, start a new game to be sure. Note: lots of text strings are included with your save file that won’t carry over between translation patches, including text for the current map you’re on.

Get v0.21 http://dargothtranslations.wordpress.com/2014/09/05/mgq-paradox-demo-bugfix/

Anyway, I didn’t get everything I wanted done, but I hit the high points. The last uninteresting bits with the white rabbit aren’t finished, and that whole conversation needs editing anyway. It doesn’t help that she says a lot of confusing things that will probably make more sense (and be easier to translate) later in the game…

Still tons more work to do on this demo. NPCs, battle cries, monster attacks, skill info, item info, the libraries, evaluations, H-scenes, present dialogue, and more!

Update on Paradox Demo Translation

137 Comments

Hi guys, no new patch right now unfortunately. Despite there being very little to do in the demo, there are a surprisingly large number of words in it. I don’t feel like releasing half a dozen demo patches so I’m waiting until I’ve got just about everything done first. I’m sticking with the original plan to have a first patch with everything except the library, duplicated H-scenes from MGQ, and unimportant NPCs. Then I’ll finish it up with a 100% patch after.

As for after that, I want to get all the VH2 encyclopedia entries translated so I can finally call that one 100% and then at least finish the Sei Monmusu Gakuen Rin route translation so I can release something for that game before Paradox is released. Sorry to the one guy out there who’s more interested in SMMG than Paradox, but I promise I’ll finish translating it eventually…

MGQ Paradox Demo Translation v0.1

189 Comments

In the interest of getting something out there for people who want to play immediately, I’m releasing an incredibly bare bones translation of the interface, items/skills/etc., and the first few minutes of story.

First, you need an RPG Maker Decrypter. There are a few of these, but this one is good: http://rpgcrisis.net/forums/files/file/65-rgssad-rgss2a-rgss3a-decrypter/

If you’re having issues with that one, try this: http://www.mediafire.com/?xweoqp2ieep5mxv

1. Download and extract MGQ Paradox Demo into a directory. To avoid locale issues, you should probably rename the directory so that it does not contain Japanese characters.

2. Decrypt!
2a. Run the tool I linked.
2b. File->Open File, pick Game.rgss3a.
2c. Tools->Extract All Files
2d. Success! Close the decrypter.

3. Move decrypted Data and Graphics files from Extract to the game’s base directory, overwriting all duplicates in the game’s original Data and Graphics directories.

4. Delete or rename Game.rgss3a or you’ll get an error on launching the game.

5. Extract the patch into the game’s base directory, adding a Translation folder and overwriting Game.ini.

6. Launch Game.exe. That’s it!

Get v0.2: http://dargothtranslations.wordpress.com/2014/09/03/monster-girl-quest-paradox-demo-translation-v0-2/

Monster Girl Quest Paradox Demo out

Paradox Demo: https://mega.co.nz/#!A5pyWbYD!8K7IRzSOCk3A8sI7D6dpNAJpJFEpu2PRvyJ7tRjHAkk

Thanks to whomever uploaded that. The official link was hammered very badly.

So I certainly didn’t expect this to come out so quickly. We may even get the full game by the end of the year given the usual couple months delay between demo and full game with MGQ.

I tried ytinasni’s vx ace tool on the demo and it just crashed, so that’s no good. I sent him a message so maybe he can get it working. He’s been pretty quick in the past, and the version I have is 4 months old so he may have already done more work on it since.

I’m not holding out much hope for habisain getting vx ace support in his tool any time soon given his progress over the last year, but you never know. Perhaps he hasn’t had a reason until now? I know both of these guys are interested in monster girl stuff.

If anyone else knows of RPGMaker VX Ace translation tools, let me know. Loading the game files themselves into RPGMaker, translating them, and releasing all the translated files is an option, I suppose? That seems like a pain in the ass for both me and everyone who downloads them though.

EDIT: ytinasni is coming though. 🙂

Misc. Updates

This might be the longest I’ve ever gone without an update. Sorry for that.

In Violated Hero news, Dieselmine is releasing a Violated Hero 4 expansion of sorts on April 25th. Fan-winning Nightmare and the Equipment Mimic thing are added along with new scenes with Lilith and Maid Robot. The site doesn’t really say if it’ll require VH4 or be a stand-alone, but at any rate it’ll be about $5.

In MGQ Paradox news, no update from Torotoro this month, but the MGQ Official Site will have 8 new monster updates on May 3rd, including some Eden CG apparently.

In Sei Monmusu Gakuen news… Well, my goal is 200 lines/day and to finish in 6 months at that rate. My actual progress has been closer to 50 lines/day. I could make excuses and plenty of reasons why I can pick up the pace from now on (or soon), but those are hollow promises. If I have to shelve this to translate Paradox and I end up finishing the translation in 2016 when no one even cares anymore, so be it. I hope that doesn’t happen, but I’m not giving up just because it might end up taking a very long time. I’m making progress almost every day, even if it’s a lot less than I want.

Monmusu Delicious! -Lunch- Version 1.01

1.01: Menus translated now and readme added.

MGQ Delicious English Translation Patch Version 1.01
March 3, 2014
Dargoth
http://dargothtranslations.wordpress.com/

Welcome to the English translation patch for Tokinokogiri’s second Monmusu Delicious! installment. Like Breakfast, this is a simple collection of vore scenarios involving characters from Monster Girl Quest. Unlike my translation for Breakfast, however, I’ve left Lunch in its original HTML/Flash format.

Note that this is only a translation patch. You do need a full copy of the Japanese files for it to work.

Acquiring Lunch:
You can buy it from the English DLSite here: http://www.dlsite.com/ecchi-eng/work/=/product_id/RE125876.html
If you don’t want to pay, well, you’re on the Internet. Finding it shouldn’t be too hard. If you like it, I do suggest buying it, however. Vore is quite a niche genre, after all. Supporting creators increases the chance of more content in the future.

Also note that this patch requires version 1.2 of Lunch to play. The Cassandra and Succubus Witch scenarios may not work properly with version 1.0.

Files in patch:
1. /html/ – directory of translated content
2. index.html – entry point for content
3. MGQ Delicious Lunch English Readme.txt – the file you’re reading now

Installation:
1. Extract all files to Lunch directory, overwriting when asked.

Help, it didn’t work!
1. Are you sure you have version 1.2 of Lunch?

Lunch is served!

MGQ Delicious Lunch English patch v1.0
Mega: https://mega.co.nz/#!KIoE3aYK!DLspHGMDYRJK5tdhI-yblwwa-IJcTXjr8LTZ6CSi_kA
Backup: http://www66.zippyshare.com/v/44706377/file.html

There are still a few menu things not translated, but I think you’re smart enough to click things and figure them out. Opening, editing, and copy/pasting 14 files is really tedious.

I’ll get some kind of readme up later.
As before, just copy paste the patch files into the Lunch directory and overwrite the Japanese ones. Use index.html to start and just click the image to go into the novel mode menu. The Succubus Witch alternate scenario and Cassandra probably won’t work unless you have version 1.2 of Lunch.

Enjoy!

VH5 and Paradox News

86 Comments

Like with VH4, Dieselmine took user submissions for VH5 and now you can vote on them, one vote per day until March 16th.
http://dieselmine.com/enq/vote.cgi

Top Row: Rabbit Girl, Mermaid Princess, Frog Princess, Dullahan, Sweet General
Bottom: Vampire, Gorgon, Necromancer, Futon Girl, Mirror Demon

They didn’t get very many votes for the VH4 pool so if there’s one of these you particularly like, throwing 20+ votes at it can easily be the difference in winning.

In Paradox News, Torotoro updated his blog with a new monster girl and some basic information about H-scenes. For a translation, check out this post on ULMF.

Not much info, but it seems that re-used H-scenes from MGQ will just have their beginnings and endings changed for the request service (so Luka doesn’t die, get captured, etc. at the end of them). Still no story details…

Happy Valentine’s Day!

As promised, here’s my current progress on MGQ Delicious Lunch! It’s the first 8 of 14 scenarios so a bit more than half. I wanted to set it up so you could switch between Japanese and English, but haven’t found a way to do that easily without doubling the size of the game and creating an installer. In short, this patch replaces the Japanese files only, but also just requires a simple copy and replace.

Also, you’ll need the 1.2 patch for the game or the Succubus Witch and Cassandra stories will probably blow up.

Step 1: Get the 1.2 version of Lunch and extract it.
Step 2: Download patch, unzip, overwrite files when asked.

For more Valentine’s Day fun, this guy is streaming a charity run of MGQ part 2 for 24 hours today. It’s already going on so check it out if that sounds interesting to you: http://www.hitbox.tv/MGQcharity

Also, since I’ve been remiss in mentioning it, check out Mogi Origins. It’s an upcoming side scrolling monster girl platformer made by some English-speaking guys that have worked on games before. They’ve got a blog with a demo so you know the project isn’t vaporware. It’s already funded, but you can donate for rewards and stretch goals. I’ve been following this one since day 1 and am looking forward to it.

Lunch update

60 Comments

There was an update to MGQ Delicious Lunch that added a choice and alternate scenario to the Succubus Witch. Also some new pics for Cassandra.

Work continues on translating it. I’m hoping to simply add an English option to the menu so the same .html file can switch between Japanese and English. I converted Breakfast into MGQ scenarios because its format was terrible (and not easy to translate), but Lunch is much better. Unfortunately it still has no music, but there are at least sound options and an auto mode. This does mean you’ll need a copy of it this time.

Even if I’m not done, I plan a Valentine’s Day release of what I have finished by then. Preferably it’ll be up late on the 13th or morning of the 14th so those of you in Australia and Europe won’t have to go to bed unsatisfied.
