Questions / Answers about everything (DreaMaker included)

Yes, DreaMakers needs to access the RXDATA-files. Those are encrypted in the RGSSAD-file for the commercial version.

Okay I'm truly and utterly at wit's end. I've spent the last couple of days downloading and trying to working with DreaMaker. So far I've been able to extract text and edit it, but when I try to put it back nothing happens.

I saw your suggestion for doing step 2 then 3 then 2 again, but I don't think I quite understand. Here is what I've been doing:

1. Complete step 2 and get a dialogues.txt, then rename this to dialogues1.txt
2. Compete step 2 to get a new dialogues.txt
3. Edit the new dialogues.txt
4. Complete step 3 (when it says WRITE, that means it went through?)
5. Compete step 4

When I'm done doing this I go to check my game but none of my translated parts go through. What am I doing wrong?

If there is no board for your language, post your topic in the general section.

It was the method for DMK 3.8. DMK XP 4.9+ don't need you to do this.
There is an automatic Step 2 right after Step 3, so your file dialogues.txt is updated.

Yes, "write" means the file have been modified.

Sorry, But since our language has a pattern of connected letters therefore, in spite of my tries, I found it impossible to make the game show the letters in connected form. do you have a solution ?
(To illustrate the problem:
This is how we read and write : سلام خسته نباشید
And this is how the game shows:س ل ا م خ س ت ه ن ب ا ش ی د )
Im really helpless

Phew - that's a harsh one. Is this an arabic font? The letter spacing is most likely some standard value that is neutral for most languages.

I've found a thread about arabic text in RPG Maker VX, but not for XP.

Is this RPG Maker VX work with To the Moon?

[Just Lance]

TtM is done in RPG Maker XP not in VX.

@ King Kadelfek
Thanks if you do ,because I was ready and set to translate it to our own language but I encountered a great disappointment.
THX again

Hey guys,

This is Josh from PLAYISM working on the Japanese translation.
I had a question from my translator about whether or not he could work inside Word.
I just wanted to make sure there would be no problems copying the translation from Word into the txt file and then using the DreaMaker program.

Sometimes weird things can happen when copying from Word(especially with Unicode encoding, etc.) so I wanted to ask and see if there were any possible problems.

^ As far as my experience goes (with Europan OS) kana never worked in my .txt files, but dunno how it is in different ones.

[SenorKaffee]

DMK expects a dialogues.txt in UTF-8. As long as you can provide that (and the font in RMXP knows the characters) , everything should be fine. But are you really sure you want to copy/paste thousands of dialogue lines?

Sorry, I'm from Vietnam and so in love with this game. I'm trying to translate it into Vietnamese, but there's so many idioms or words which i couldn't understand. Like "human-hogging hipster" - i couldn't find out what it means. i also didn't understand why the conservation between John and Nick was cruel? So why he confess to River after those years?
I hope people would help me here. Thank so much. I cried a lot through this game, it's very special for me...

I can't find a team who can translate your game in Chinese!
Chinese people really love your game. "To the Moon" got 9.8 on emule! (10 is the best)
Really, really love Freebird's game, especially Quintessence, and I hope that Quintessence can have a good ending!

We could help explain if you give us a list or start a thread where we can answer

There is some undergoing Chinese localization as far as I know.
