- install
mecab.exe
with UTF-8 dictionary charset: http://taku910.github.io/mecab/#win - open a terminal:
WIN+R
cmd
- install md_rbrb:
pip install md_rbrb
- run md_rbrb:
md_rbrb
(or maybepython -m md_rbrb
) - visit http://127.0.0.1:8086/
if you are running md_rbrb from the source code directory, disregard all the above (except for the mecab part) and just run start-md_rbrb.bat
- it attaches to rabiribi.exe and uses hardcoded memory addresses to read out the currently visible dialogue line from the process memory
- on each new line it parses the game's dialogue file from disk and reads out the japanese and english variant of said line
- an httpd offers a document which displays the current dialogue line and autorefreshes to load new lines
if there's a new version of rabi-ribi and this script has died, open up the following file for reference along with cheatengine: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rabi-Ribi\localize\event\story_en.rbrb
- start a new game
- tap past the first two lines of dialogue (
...
and...?
) - stop at the 3rd line (
Yawn...
) - CTRL-F the dialogue line in story_en.rbrb, you'll see its block ID right above the search result
- do a 4byte search for that ID (
10000
), you'll see a couple results - skip 3 lines ahead until just after the cutscene, then stop at the 1st line (
Wh-What is this place?
) - do another search for the new ID (
10001
), now there's only two search results - add the 1st result to the code list by doubleclicking it, then rightclick it in the codelist and
Pointerscan for this address
, use default settings, hit OK and Yes (it'll only take like 44kB) - the top result will have "Offset 0" =
0
and the other offsets are blank, you just foundADR_BLOCK_ID
which is the hexadecimal value under "Base Address" - without advancing the dialogue, start a new 4byte search for 0, then move one line ahead ingame and search for 1, then one more line and search for 2 etc until there's just one result with green text
- pointerscan that result and grab the first result with "Offset 0" =
0
, that isADR_BLOCK_POS
note that if the dialogue box goes away for a camera pan or whatever then you have to start over since that makes it go back to 0, so do this with a dialogue scene that goes on for a bit uninterrupted
