So?
How can I translate in-game messages?
And I'd really love to hear how to modify monster.sou?

I've made this little program. It works with every version of every game, except for loom pcengine and mm nes.
http://hibernatus34.free.fr/scumm/scummtr.exe)

It's not very easy to use as i've been too lazy to make a readme. Feel free to ask me questions.

Oh well, maybe you'll also want to browse http://hibernatus34.free.fr/scumm/)
scummrp extracts blocks and lets you replace them in the game files.
scummfont is a quick & dirty font to bmp & bmp to font converter (9x.LFL, 9xx.LFL, CHAR_xxxx). It *updates* a font, it doesn't create it.

Thanks for the utilities!

Oh hibernatus, could you please post a list of commands? I just can't read THAT fast... :rolleyes:

options:

-g gameid Select a game
-i Import text into the game files (Input)
-o Export text from the game files (Output)
-f path Path to the text file
-p path Path to the game directory
-w Use the CrLf format (for Windows)
-c Convert characters to the ANSI charset
-l xx Language (for V1 & V2 games): en, de, it, fr
-b Binary mode
-h Add line headers in exported text (with -o)
-H Hexadecimal char codes (with -o)
-I Show instruction opcode (with -o)
-a [oav] Pad Objects, Actors, Verbs with @ (with -o)
-A [oav] -a with variable ids taken into account (with -o)
-L List supported games
-v Verbose
-q Quiet

Examples:
scummtr -cw -gp monkey2 ./mi2 -if ./mi2_fr.txt
scummtr -o -A ov -g zaktowns

Khaveen: press Win+R on keyboard, then type "cmd"

How were you going to use the program anyway? With a .bat? If so, you could have written:
scummtr
pause

I apologize for bumping the thread, but I don't have much time to play around with things like this these days (cursed army), so I'm going to ask instead of trying to find out myself:

Does that tool support any languages in which the writing is right to left, like Hebrew?

If you can make a text file with 8 bits chars (excluding 0xFF and 0xFE), it should be ok. I think you'll need an editor which provides a conversion table (eg. "о" -> "\xEE"). I know somebody is translating a game in russian and he uses that kind of editor and scummtr.
You'll also need to make the font.

- Where I can find the conversion table?

> Where I can find the conversion table?

ANSI table (http://www.alanwood.net/demos/ansi.html)

You can use TextPad (http://www.textpad.com)'s) clip library (I think you'll have to customize this yourself) to insert the code for the characters.
