MGQ2 33% Patch Info/Date

January 3, 2012

Patch Date: 1/6/2012 between 6 and 7pm EST.

Patch Contents: Roughly 33% of the game. Contains everything from the start of the game to the end of the first area, after Undine.

– 27 Battles

– 38 H-Scenes

– Text wise, it’s equivalent to right after the Library in part 1 in terms of length, about 50% through Part 1.

– Part 2 also has the script for Part 1. If you copy the arc.nsa file into part 2’s folder and combine them via the in-game menu, Part 1 and Part 2 will join together.

– Also has the Lencubus battle translated (Not reflected in current line count, so the current total is 2.5% lower than it actually is). Lencubus is the fight from the trial.

Line Type: Done / Remaining

City:     2386/5229             – 45.6%
Story:  5900/19600           – 30%
Battle: 26289/83000         – 31.7%
Ency:   107/1450                  – 7.4%
Total     – 34682/109279  – 31.7%

Why 33% and not 50%? – 50% would have landed right in the middle of the second area’s story, and wouldn’t have been a good stopping point. The end of the first area makes a good place to stop, in my opinion.

    Thanks for your work.

    Thanks again for the translation effort. This is going much faster than I hoped!

    While you’re away on business later this month I hope to have an English translation for 犯され勇者~凛々しく世界を救うハズだったボク finished. I think people who like MGQ will like that game too (at least I do), although it’s much shorter and the story is paper thin.

    • Oh cool, when did you start on that?

      • Dargoth permalink

        A couple days ago after someone at Hongfire helped me with my encryption problem.. It’s only 14 H-scenes and barely any story so I’m around 15% already.

        • Ah, cool. Just read the thread; Didn’t realize the game was made in Kirikiri. That’s what thief and sword was in (The thing I did after MGQ, though I only did one route). If you want to see some creative programming, decompile the MGQ script. You know your engine wasn’t designed for a battle system when you have to include 202 separate images for a life gauge. Two images for every percent of health, and special ones for 0 / full. I just imagine Torotoro with some giant flowchart next to his computer that maps out how the battles go.

          But anyway, if you want me to make a post or link to your page/site (if you make one) at some point, just post on here or send me an e-mail. I’m sure the overwhelming majority of people that check this site would be interested in your work.

            “I just imagine Torotoro with some giant flowchart next to his computer that maps out how the battles go.”

            That would probably lead to some serious headache. Check the last spoiler of the first post in http://www.hongfire.com/forum/showthread.php/404759

            Oh god. Just looking at that is painful, let alone designing it and bugfixing.

      Do you have a website, Dargoth?

    • ShiroiRyu permalink

      Oh … About this, it’s not the game i speak about like in previous article ?
      With dragon-girl and a lot of paizuri ? (With a hot blond big breasted elf girl)
      It’s a RPG no ?
      So you began to translate this ? Good luck and i hope you will finish this ! (Will try to speak on hongfire !)

      For Kadawa Shoujo, it’s a good game ? A Hentai one ? The last H-Game before MGQ i played was Tears to Tiara so … :s
      In same time, i will have to take the second game.
      One question : Despite that will be in two differents folders, i can play part 1 with the part 2 game. But if i erase the folder with part 1 game, that will bugging ?

    • Susebron permalink

      Aha, found it. For those of us completely unable to understand japanese(I’m making the attempt to learn, but that’s going to take a LONG time…), I found the post you’re talking about finally..

      The topic is “Violated Hero-I wanted to Chivalrously save the World” on the Hongfire forums. Thanks for posting the game Dargoth, I found a download of it and I’m going to wait patiently for the translation.

      ————————-

      Also, many thanks to RogueTranslator for doing all this work on Part 1 and Part 2 of MGQ, you’re a god among men for this.

      One question though, will you be combining the part 1 and part 2 patches for us to use? I’m asking this because when I took arc.nsa and placed it in part 2 and used the tool to combine(Fourth option->Last option from the title screen for those of you wondering), part 1 when run via part 2 was all japanese when I started the game. Seeing as how I don’t know any japanese and your explanation was rather brief, I’m wondering if there’s something else we can do to copy over the part 1 translation or if you’ll be including it when you’re finished with part 2.

      • Yes, I merged the part 1 english script into part 2. There will be a readme included with the patch that gives instructions on how to both combine part 1 and part 2, as well as how to carry over your save from part 1 into part 2.

      • Kyon permalink

        Violated Hero – I wanted to Chivalrously save the world is also known as [Dieselmine] Okasare Yuusha ~ Ririshiku Sekai wo Sukuu Hazu datta Boku

        It is a lot easier to find info using the romanji version of the name, that is also how I found where to download it

    Does this mean you’re going to release a 66% patch in the future instead of a 75% patch?

  12. I saw this post and cheered with joy, then I saw the date, and cheered with joy.

    I’m not sure if you have people bugtesting, but if you need any more, I’d be happy to help.

    • I’m only changing the text, none of the code. Any bugs in the original game will be present here… I just edit things myself then ctrl through the scenes a bunch of times making sure there aren’t any crashes. A few people e-mail me with grammar/spelling issues too, that I fix for the next patch (Though I messed up and forgot to include some in the last patch for MGQ Part 1). Thanks for the offer though! Love your game, by the way.

      • Fair enough. I’ll try and record any typos I find to send to you once it hits. Keep up the excellent work – I’ve held off on playing this till I can do it in engrish.

  13. Anonymous permalink

    I copied the arc.nsa over and no matter which option I choose it doesn’t change anything. Can you give a detailed description of how to do that?

    I have a question on combining the games.

    If we have a Part 2 save file, what happens to that? I unlocked a lot of the monsterpedia playing through it with the machine translation. I have almost everything unlocked from the first game. As far as I can tell it uses gloval.sav for each one but I don’t see a different file to use.

    After we combine it do we just erase the first game?

    I mean I don’t mind replaying the entire game or anything, but it seems a waste of work.

    • You mean if you played through the japanese part 2?

      The gloval.sav (So named I’m guessing for: Global Variables) stores your records, “achievements” and encyclopedia unlocks. This file works perfectly regardless if it came from the English version or the Japanese version. So all your encyclopedia stuff will be saved if you apply the english patch over the japanese one. HOWEVER, the other save files (The ones you use to load into the story via the “load” button) will almost 99.999% of the time not work. They will load instead at a seemingly random place in the script.

      In Summary: Records, achievements, encyclopedia status will be retained. Loading into the story itself will not work.

      • AnonS permalink

        I mean the Part 1 entries. When I combine the games, does it carry over the stuff from Part 1 into my Part 2 game? And then if it does, does it overwrite my existing part 2 save. I don’t mean applying the patch, I assume the patch would not do anything, but more about the saves playing nice with each other.

        Meaning do my encyclopedias combine for a new bigger encyclopedia.

        I have not yet combined the game. I just copied over the arc file as you mentioned, and I’m waiting for the patch translation after which I’ll combine it in game, as I assume you translated the menus so I can wait 2 days to just pick that option. It probably does it automatically so my question is pointless, but I was curious and didn’t want to screw it up just in case.

        • Yes, part 2 can inherit Part 1’s save file (Through an in-game menu). It inherits the gloval.sav file… So yes, it will overwrite any other gloval.sav file you had in part 2.

    Wow, you are amazing. you have been able to pull off 33% in less then 2 months or so. you started this project around december 17, and now, (it saying 1/6/12 but my clock says 1/4/12) you are able to pull off a 33%. i have seen teams of people struggling to pull off 25% in 4 months. i may be misconsidering the sizes of the two games im thinking of, but it is amazing at you speed and quality of your work. and you dont even ask for anything in return. keep up the great works. :)

  47. The Noble Shade permalink

    Hey, I just purchased the game, and decided to test it out a bit before your patch.
    It still has that problem where the audio skips like a record player. What is up with that?

    • Never had that issue before…

      • The Noble Shade permalink

        It was commented on by another user after you gave us the 1.1 patch for MGQ1. This issue didn’t pop up until after that update.
        I remember you saying that you tried to replicate the issue by ctrl-ing through the text, but that’s not when the issue pops up. What happens is that when I’m trying to read the text, the audio will skip and repeat itself in 2 second loops until a mouse click; it happens with the music, SFX, and even the voice clips.

  48. Hakurei Kai permalink

    Woah ,it just been a few weeks and already about 30%,you are really fast ^^ thank you for your hard work

  49. Wait, Rouge, it’s a total of 100k+ lines? Damn. I’m assuming a lot of that is trivial dialogue, am I right?

    • (Trivial Dialogue meaning dialogue from town scenes and combat yells)

      • I like slime girls permalink

        100k lines doesn’t really mean a whole lot. It depends on what you consider a line, and what type of lines.
        Specially if “Hora Hora” can count as a line.
        The most accurate approximation for lenght of the script would probably be, the amount of time needed to clear the game.
        MGQ1 was kinda short. This seems to be longer, but probably around… 20hs? by the usual standards. And most of those are battle scenes.

        Not to say I don’t love rogue. Even if all the lines were easy, he’s still translating a lot.

        • As I put in the first post that had the progress in it, the line count isn’t actually a line count for translatable lines, but a count of ALL lines between point A and point B. The real number is actually like 35~40% of that number. So the line numbers aren’t accurate, but the percentage of completion is.

  50. Anonymous permalink

    Wow that was incredibly fast, I thought it would be longer than this for the first one to come out. Thanks for spending your time translating.
