Shito Translation

This repository is for the tool used to translate the game. If you're looking for the English patch, click here.

Setup

Install Python 3.
Download this repository by downloading and extracting it, or cloning it.
Copy the original Japanese rom into the same folder and rename it as shito.ws.
Run run_windows.bat (for Windows) or run_bash (for OSX/Linux) to run the tool.
Download this file as table_input.txt in the ShitoData folder.

Font Editing

Edit font.png. Normal glyphs should be 7 pixels long, aligned to the left. Large glyphs should be 15 pixels long.
The glyphs should be in the same order as the fontconfig.txt file, where you should also specify the glyph size.
To fit more character in short binary lines, you can add bigrams here and don't specify a length. These will be automatically generated by the font repacker.
Format example (set A and a to 5 pixels of width, and generate bigrams for "Un" and "it" to fit "Unit" in 2 bytes):

A=5
a=5
Un=
it=

Text Editing

Rename the *_output.txt files to *_input.txt (script_output.txt to script_input.txt, etc) and add translations for each line after the = sign.
The text in script_input is automatically wordwrapped, but a | can be used to force a line break.
New textboxes can be added by appending >> followed by the new text.
Control codes are specified as <XXXX>, they should usually be kept.
Comments can be added at the end of lines by using #

Image Editing

Using images.txt

Create or edit the images.txt file in the ShitoData folder using this format:

!FILE:bank_18.bin
bank_18_01=a50,1200,8,1,1

The parameters are:

• Offset of the tile data
• Offset of the map data
• Number of contiguous images in the map data using the same tiles
• Set to 1 to read the palette for image export
• Set to 1 to write new palette data, instead of using the original ones

Manual

Copy the bank you want to edit from the "extract" folder to the "replace" folder (create it if it doesn't exist) and edit it directly.

Run from command line

This is not recommended if you're not familiar with Python and the command line.
After following the Setup section, run pipenv sync to install dependencies.
Run pipenv run python tool.py extract to extract everything, and pipenv run python tool.py repack to repack.
You can use switches like pipenv run python tool.py repack --bin to only repack certain parts to speed up the process.
