So now; we can export locpackbin files but we can't make the lines longer and we need to edit fonts.

these are our only problems.

Question about that menu translation. Did you edited only menus lockpack or menus lockpack and menus lockpackbin?

So importing bigger file is not problem?
Just make lines longer and fonts work?

You need to edit both lockpackbin and lockpack. If you messed up something while doing these game will use the "dummystingsworstcase" default english files..

example; if you type; "Edit." in locpack and if you type "Editt" (double-t) in lockpackbin, this will be cause error and game will use dummystringsworstcase files.

You need to edit both lockpackbin and lockpack.

That explains something. Thanks.

I am trying to figure it out how game can show longer lengths in other languages.

for example in german language that "you must be online" string is too long but it's showing succesfully in game. im trying to check out how its going on


i think barks files have connection about string lengths.

First i need to successfully implement text in to game, then i will look on longer lengths.

Lets see if this works. When i edited main menu text i found something, that might be related to text length.

?X ??}??nEN  CONTINUE1?X ??e This is how it should look like, but when i copy pasted text, it changed to this:

?X ??}??nEN  CONTINUE1?X ??e

Im giving up. Can't even change main menu text. I'l wait until smarter people show up. Thank you ubisoft, for these complications.

I export files from "200" sfd file, change both menus lockpack and menus lockpackbin, repack them back, rewrite original files but still nothing. Here they are

Look for "https://zenhax.com test 1"

From 3 edits, only one applied and even then, only 4 letters. There is definitely something *SPAM* up with letter length.

It should look like this:


https://zenhax.com test 1
https://zenhax.com test 2
DLC
https://zenhax.com test 3

you should replace all "OPTIONS, LOAD" etc. words to make that appear on screen. there are 2-3 same words should be changed.

and yes without the length problem we cant do anything. translate is impossible. btw remove the [img] codes on your picture it makes the page so big and not mobile friendly:D

can somenoe make a tool for editing lengths easily? its too complex to calculate one by one.. converting hex to decimal.

for example 333 = 33 03

Hello,everyone.

I am trying to translate this to my language too , and want to provide some help (not codewide, I am sorry :*( )

There are some "*.fontmetrics" files locate in "camel\baked\fonts\" , which are contant in sdf-A-0001.sdfdata.
I guess they are the key to edit the length or font links, but I cant find any relate article from google.
Sigh, stick of truth was so easy.

Btw, If you guys want to change the title logo ,edit "camel\ui\images\logos\small\sp_tfbw_logo_small_en.png"(or other language)which is contants in sdf-A-0204.sdfdata.

Hope that helps.

Hello, Im bringing great news. Tool for easy edit is out. No more manually rewriting strings or editing lockpackbin.

How to use it:

Open in rar software, extract all files in to root directory (localization etc). Edit desired lockpack how much you want (length or type of text (cyrlic, cantonese etc doesn't matter). Save. Open tool, chose your edited lockpack and wait. Tool will create LOCPACKBIN_OLD, thats your backup file, that you can remove it. And it will also rewrite locpackbin, so you don't need to edit it anymore.

Then repack with QBMS, copy data back to your root folder with game and enjoy your translation!



Now go out and fix something, that Ubisoft weren't able to do. Proper localization.

Also, for easier lockpack files edit, i would recommend visual studio software, because it contain nice function, to edit text in bulk (ctlr shift h).

ALL HAIL TO MerlinSVK.

NEW VERSION OUT


v 1.2 - fixed bug with last hex line.

Hello, thank you for the tool and I have some newfound.

I compared 3DM's translation files with originals, and they ONLY edited 2 files: sdf-A-0200.sdfdata and stf.stftoc .
new stf.stftoc is 8.40MB vs old 8.38MB,
new sdf-A-0200 is 48.1MB vs old 23.3MB.

and sdf-A-0200.sdfdata's font folder looks like this:


Since it dosent contain sdf-A-0001, it maybe nothing to do with fontmetrics.
So, I guess we can simply use the font we want to replace all .ttf and .otf,
and do some trick to reimport them successfully.
Any thoughts?
