Read Menu

Read menu allows you to re-read the game's files.

Reading mode

  • Append - this mode will extend the .txt files with new text (in case if source RPG Maker files were updated). Reading in this mode will also sort the translation chronologically. Note: this mode automatically determines which options should be set from the previous read, and you won't be able to modify them.
  • Rewrite - this mode will forcefully rewrite existing .txt files, effectively removing all translation.

Romanize

Replaces Eastern symbols with their Western equivalents. It might be easier to work with text that way.

Disable custom processing

Currently, custom processing is implemented for LISA: The Painful and derivatives, and Fear & Hunger 2: Termina. In the future, this list might expand.

This will probably produce more readable text with less system things, that you don't actually need for translation.

Duplicate mode

  • Allow - each map/event is parsed separately, and only inner duplicates are eliminated. RECOMMENDED!
  • Remove - eliminates all duplicates across all maps files. Use, if Allow causes too much bloat.

Duplicates

You may encounter a problem, when the exact same translation of one line is written to multiple places in-game, because some duplicates are eliminated.

How to work around this: manually post-edit the files. rvpacker-txt-rs provides the feature to generate .json representation of older engines' files and write them back with changes, and newer engines are directly editable .json. This way your translation will be way cleaner.

Ignore entries from .rvpacker-ignore file

Don't read the lines included in .rpgmtranslate/translation/.rvpacker-ignore file. It either can be created when purging, or manually.
