" So why isn't it used more? This site suggests it's used in RPGs, but why never in fan translations?" Because it is a fairly limited technique, and if you're going to be making new code anyways, either code a better compression system* or relocate the text to somewhere you can actually fit what you need. It does get used when a game already implements it... sometimes. I think I've seen fan translations that removed the dual-tile encoding to add in something better. It turns out that people capable of doing fan translations tend to also be fairly well-versed in what you can feasibly do with a system while it is running the game they're working on. Yes, there are exceptions where the script is stored in plain ASCII or the text to be translated is all present as uncompressed images, but... a lot of the time it requires a good deal of assembly and platform knowledge to even extract the script in the first place, and a good deal more to get it back into the game later. Sometimes you even have to rework chunks of the game engine(I recall one title where the text was printed in vertical text boxes on the right side of the screen, and the hackers had to completely replace the text drawing code to get something that was useful for english) Your fundamental assumption that rawmhaxxors don't know what they're doing and are leaving even the most basic optimizations on the table is... questionable. *Exception for when RAM limitations or available processing power prevent you from using something better. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

On normal mode, it is Symphony of the Night easy. So yes. Starting a new game with the name NIGHTMARE apparently unlocks all difficulties immediately. Also, I've spent most of an evening transforming into a bunny girl and kicking Shovel Knight right in his tool. I got the transformation immediately after telling someone this game is less random and unfocused than Symphony was. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Because translation isn't an exact science. Some statements will be shorter, others longer. Some will have to be reworked to fit the game's output, which can change the length. Some games just have insane lovecraftian nightmares where one would expect the text engine code to be. I don't know what specific games you're thinking of, so I can only speak in vague generalities. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Man, you should've played the beta/demo. Zangetsu was toned way down from his original final boss-like aggression. Often, the boss doesn't need to guard any items, because the boss's shard is the key to victory!... I mean further progression. There's ONE random-drop shard that will be required for progression past a certain point. Jury is out on if it is a brilliant subversion of expectations and meta-design, or just a dick move. I'm opting for the latter, because random drops can take forever if your luck is bad(real luck, not the in-game stat). --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Posted by Screwtape I WILL NEVER BOW TO A CANADIAN! THAT IS ONE STEP REMOVED FROM SURRENDERING TO FRANCE! "The internal-wrenching square socket drive for screws (as well as the corresponding triangular socket drive) was conceived several decades before the Canadian P. L. Robertson invented the Robertson screw and screwdriver in 1908 and received patents in 1909 (Canada) and 1911 (U.S. Patent 1,003,657). An earlier patent covering both square-socket- and triangle-socket-drive wood screws, U.S. Patent 161,390, was issued to one Allan Cummings of New York City on March 30, 1875. " How about we call it the Cummings driver, since ROBERTSON IS A THIEF? --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |
