Re: Trying to hack some of the attacks' names...

Post by Blaziken257 »

I have some unofficial patch, and it seems that person who made the patch did a really sloppy job editing the attack data... each attack name is in 8-character intervals, but the hacked ROM often has names starting in one 8-character section and ending in another. Example: from 0009D648 to 0009D667, the translated attacks are as follows:

TURNCOMB
O:AIR-GA
THER DE
DAMBITO

I cannot figure out what this is supposed to be if my life depended on it. Now, if anybody knows any Japanese, here are the same attacks in the untranslated game (obtained by viewing the ROM in a hex editor):

かいてんカッター
スパイラルカット
たきおとし
シャボンだま

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I know the hex values for nearly all the letters, so I can hex edit it without a problem.

kaiten katta^ - Rotation Cutter
supairarukatto - Spiral Flare or Spiral Cutter.. I guess you'd have to look at the move
takiotoshi - possibly referencing a waterfall, I dunno what the attack looks like
shabon dama - Soap Ball

If you give me the list of attacks I can translate them as best I can and maybe get them into 8-letter names (I did it for Telefang 1 for my own use, I should upload the list sometime.)

EDIT: Here's the list of Telefang 1 attacks, I think most of them are also in 2 - http://racieb.ggmedia.us/telefang/attacklist.txt

Rotation Cutter: Hmmm, that makes sense. After all, that's what the animation looks like. I guess I should call it ROTACUTR... wait, that looks stupid...

Spiral Flare or Spiral Cutter - Well, I've never seen the move before, so I don't know what that is. Darn.

(takiotoshi - possibly referencing a waterfall, I dunno what the attack looks like) - Well, I've seen the move before, and it's DEFINITELY a waterfall. So that's what it is!

Soap Ball - Yep, it's a ball... hard to tell what it looks like (it's greenish), but I guess it's soap :P

I'll gather the list sometime, but that will take a while, so don't expect it today :P

Could just call it SPIN CUT or something like that >__> 2 might have even weirder attacks than 1, I think my favorites are Teletel's Strawberry Kiss and Kaya's Cyber Wire XD

Yeah, I guess I'll call it SPIN CUT XD ...Strawberry Kiss? I think I remember seeing that in one of your videos... heh. Floating strawberries.

Anyway, I'm going to start listing the attacks... seems that it starts from 0009D5D0-0009DAFF... so I THINK there are 166 attacks to translate (there may be even more, though). I'll just list a few for now, and do some more later. I'll list the unofficial translation (which may not necessarily be the same as the one in yours, as I already fixed some spelling errors and whatnot, e.g. WATRGUN -> WATERGUN and LMTONGE -> FLMTONGE).

???? (this is just for blank attacks, such as when a Denjuu has 3 or less moves)
ひばな (SPARK)
ひのたま (FLAME)
ひばしら (FLMPILLR)
プチファイア (CSPNCH)
おにび (ELFFIRE)
かえんだん (FLMTONGE)
れっか (HOTSWORD)
ひぐるま (FIRECAR)
えんばんカッター (DISKCOMB)
しゃりん (:4STRAP) (WTF is this supposed to be?)
チェーンソー (CHAINSAW)
ドリル (DRILL)
ロケットパンチ (R.PUNCH)
ツインドリル (TWNDRILL)

That's all I'll list for now. This took me about 15-20 minutes... I'll do some more tomorrow.

Thanks! And nice ideas on the 8-character moves! Some of those are better than what I had... such as "SML FIRE" and "DISKCUTR." Once I edit those in, I'll give you a patch! This patch also corrects NUMEROUS spelling errors, particularly with the items, and it spells "attacked" correctly too :)

EDIT: By the way, Flame Wheel sounds SO like Pokémon :P GO TYPHLOSION!

My patch is up! This should be applied to the original ROM (not the one that's already patched). I'll upload it now...

By the way, it still has that "BUB GUM" thing that you love:
