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

Setup

Create a "data" folder and copy the rom as "medusa.nds" in it.
(Optional, only for PSD export) Install ImageMagick, check "Add application directory to your system path" while installing.

Run from binary

Download the latest release outside the data folder.
Run tool extract to extract everything and tool repack to repack after editing.
Run tool extract --help or tool repack --help for more info.

Run from source

Install Python 3.8 and pipenv.
Download ndstool.exe.
Download xdelta.exe.
Run pipenv install.
Run the tool with pipenv run tool.py or build with pipenv run pyinstaller tool.spec.

Text Editing

Rename the *_output.txt files to *_input.txt (bin_output.txt to bin_input.txt, etc) and add translations for each line after the "=" sign.
The text in cnut_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 \<XX\> or UNK(XXXX), they should usually be kept. Line breaks are specified as | or <0A> depending on the file.
To blank out a line, use a single !. If just left empty, the line will be left untranslated.
Comments can be added at the end of lines by using //

Image Editing

Rename the out_* folders to work_* (out_NCGR to work_NCGR, etc).
Edit the images in the work folder(s). The palette on the right should be followed but the repacker will try to approximate other colors to the closest one.
If an image doesn't require repacking, it should be deleted from the work folder.
