Saint Seiya: Death and Rebirth

[baritonomarchetto77]

You are Italian then 

There are no scripts in that mod, only classic openbor features, but it will be more evident to you takeing confidence with the engine 
Saint Seiya would improve with "real" scripts but unfortunately i was not able to script at the time 

The boss you are speaking of  (Docrates) was intended to be somehow "tricky"... whell, all the bosses in a beat them all should be 

The mods you are planning to introduce (faster special moves and/or invulnerability and so on) could be managed with classical openbor features, so it will be a good starting point for you: take your time and have fun while modding !!

Docrates is "tricky" indeed !! I won the "Easter Egg Tournament" cause he destroyed all the opponents for me !!

the translation goes beyond menu entries, there are somo dialogues too, and the voices donŽt cry in spanish its italian... I would like to know what tools do i need in order to unpack the mod and change these things, IŽm willing to change the texts and the music, Something Else I noticed, i have a mod in which you can use the 4 bronce saints... and I can play it on my psp, no problem... however, there are some version in which you can only use 2 saints... why is this?... please help me with the tools I need and IŽll get to work on this... If you guys can send me the Saint seiya music would be great too... It will certainlly make the work easier...

For extraction:
the unpacker is in the OpenBor directory, is "borpak.exe", so just issue the command "borpak filename.pak" and a directory "data" will be created with all the file extracted.

For translation:
All the dialogs are just gif images, so you need an image editing program like http://www.gimp.org/ (free), or photoshop/paint shop pro and similar...
You just have to search in every directory of the unpacked game every image that contains text part, open them with the editing software and "overwrite" the italian text with the english one.

For testing:
1) You will need a single OpenBor installation dedicated to this game, so maybe make a copy of the OpenBor folder
2) Remove ALL the paks from the "packs" directory, and create an empty "New text file" inside it, and rename it "something.pak"
3) The "data" directory of saint seiya must be in the same directory where it is "OpenBor.exe"

Now when you launch OpenBor, the game will start immediately, and you can exit, modify something inside the data folder, and then launch the game to see the results, repeat this until you are happy.

And about the version of the game where you can use only 2 saints maybe is the PSP version... that console is not powerfull as a PC, so the games must be more simple to be playable.

Thanx a lot, IŽll start as soon as possible... the mod where i can  use the 4 saints is playable on psp, at least the one i have...

Think to tell me when you will finish to download them, i will remove them.
Bye

Yes, there are two versions of the game: one with 2 saints playable and the other with 4 saints. I decided to reduce the number in the PSP version for compatibility with both the PSP 1000 and 2000 (i had a 1000 at the time ... and still have  ).

Anyhow, if you decide to port the game to new openbor versions and/or translate it and/or whatever i would suggest to mod the 4 players PC version.

Apart from the music and texts, consider that the game uses only 256 (255) colors for ALL the entities (the max at the time), so it would be a great addition to use new frames with 256 colors for EACH entity ... this would mean a lot of work, for sure...

[frontyiria]

thanx darknior you can do it now

[PowerGod]

If you need help to understand the meaning of some phrases just ask, and just a warn, there are pieces of text from the "Divine Comedy", so you will need the "official" english translation for them

I will take a look about the "more color" thing... but I don't make promises here 

[frontyiria]

No problemo... IŽve read it, and will look for references XD thanx
