Where are the text entries?

[dasmatze]

Hi!

Does somebody know where I can find the text entries? I'd like to translate the text and need to know to which file entries like "10745 IDS_OPTIONS_TITLE_GAMEPLAY" refer to.

Thanks in advance!

You will find all the games text based entries between 1C9A05C0 and 1C9F8090. I will also be posting a list of addresses with ingame character names and their addresses in a seperate topic.

See that I have modified the text of the menus in the following video.


Also check out my other videos if you would like to see a few other things at work.

I already saw that video and it made me want to change some text too. But I assume by telling me some addresses you try to say that the text is hard coded in the exe?! If not, where is it? Which file?

Yes, please tell us exactly where 1C9A05C0 and 1C9F8090 are.

Looking forward to that posting about a list of character names... anything to point us in the right direction.

Also:

I think dialogue is stored in the \data\frontend\str_<language>.bcs files. They seem to be lots of NULL separated flat text strings with a bunch of header data. The readable bits start around 0xED80 in the English file, with meaningful text a little further down.

For english: \data\frontend\str_en.bcs

All of the text, including the text for case zero is found in \data\frontend\str_en.bcs (this is the English version -- there are 7 other language files)

You need to download a Hex Editor to open the file.

Which looks like it is partly in German.

Below is actual text from the game, how do you do it, and what in the world is "Grind zombies for ammo."

Would you like to skip ahead?

Saving is not available in the trial version of Dead Rising 2: CASE ZERO.
