Nice work, Enz°, however, I'd like to make some comments on your russian characters of the font:

It looks very nice, but you shouldn't try to create an "И" out of an "N" - these are totally different letters and you won't get one out of another just by mirroring. In "N", you have two narrow vertical lines and one bold diagonal, going in the direction Northwest-Southeast (\), as well as incomplete serifs on it. In an "И", you have two bold vertical lines and a narrow diagonal Southwest-Northeast line (/), and complete serifs.
You should try to take an "H", erase the middle bar and draw a new, narrow, diagonal line.

Sorry I don't use any real professional typographist lingo, in fact, I don't know it, though I used to be a font designer myself. And, если что, я по-русски говорю.

About the rest - quite beautiful, and will probably do what it should.

[kenand]

Use misetram.jar for translation or use hexeditor

We finished hungarian translation.

[paprik123456]

where can I find the misetram.jar ? yes the link is dead, I will send him a message...

[koun]

i haven't had the time to work on the tool recently. I don't know when I'll upload a new version. I will provide another updated version. I just can't make any promises about when.

[kenand]

Hungarian full translation (text, user interface, fonts, and graphics translated) released

[LordTrilobite]

You should post mods and patches for SoMI:SE iin the other thread for mods and patches instead of in this thread.

[sinus]

lil question: has anyone analyzed the xWMAs within the game yet? do they have a constant or a variable bitrate? they're quite small files ...


... oh the official soundtrack just takes too long!


edit: oh my. i just took the calculator and ...

96 kbps WMA in a HD video game in the year 2009. What have they done?!?!?!?

for notexistingchrissake: release a CD album!!!!

[ronzbig1]

koun, any progress with uiText.info tool?

ronzbig1,
sure, see above

[ronzbig1]

Thanks I have a question - your utility changes french text, or some else?

Select the appropriate langID and edit.
Also you can change langID of colums by RightClick on the column header.

Hi guys, I'm myloch, I'm new here but veteran adventure gamer!
I like very much the khar's replacement sign for stan's shop, but link is broken.
Please can someone upload it again? thanks

[LordTrilobite]

Here you go

[myloch]

thanks man!
I saw that you fixed some problems in the forest. well... I found a BIG problem, worse than the store one: there is a room in the forest where there is a ravine (visible in classic mode) but invisible in hires mode (look like a normal path). I discovered it because the character cannot move forward, if you switch to classic mode, you see it.

Guys, I'm seriously trying to remove the narrator's voice from SOMI:SE. But I'm kinda stuck, as I don't know how to repack the .xwb archive with the blank speech files i created. Any help?

[MethodGit]

Just thought I'd mention that I have the 360 version, and it appears its Monkey1.pak is somehow formatted differently to the PC version. Here are the size and checksum specs:

204 MB (214,930,550 bytes)
CRC-32: e46b9e2b
MD4: ed98a67cc89b8df301eff5a2c4234bc8
MD5: 83e1934bc6d077decc5dc4b4892e4cea
SHA-1: 4c62e469be087d825280d834a62582a014f8b6ca

I've tried using both extractpak and Remonkeyed Explorer on this file to no avail (the former just crashes, and the latter claims that the format isn't supported or something along those lines). What are the chances of support for this version being added in future? I don't know if it has anything to do with how I got the .pak file extracted (I first backed up my MI:SE download onto a USB stick, then used wxPirs on the one file created to read its file system and rip the .pak out).

[bgbennyboy]

What does Monkey Island Explorer say when you try?

If you like, I'll look into it, its probably just endianness. You'll need to make a filecutter snippet or similar though.

Okie dokie..... examine away!

(Hope it's an okay archive anyhow - I chose 1024k in case you needed more information.)

[MethodGit]

Say, I can upload filecutter information for the two music XWB files as well if it's handy, seeing as both the unxwb on here and the latest unxwb on Luigi's site doesn't appear to extract the music in the right format...

It's a similar problem with the Ambience, Speech and SFX xwbs as well, but I'd rather not drag this post out with epic listings for those.

[bgbennyboy]

Looking at that those xwb's use XMA for the codec not XWMA.
"XMA files can be decoded with xmaencode: xmaencode.exe /X output.wav input_xma.wav"

Looking at the file (and the filesize) it looks like the pak is compressed (probably zlib) and has an additional header of filesizes or indexes. I'll try and have a look at it later.

[bgbennyboy]

I've had another quick look at it:
It is big endian as expected, the structure looks the same, offsets are relative to the start of the LPAK header. However I'm not sure how its compressed/encrypted. The name dir and the file are obfuscated somehow my guess would be compressed rather than encrypted but I dunno how.

[MethodGit]

Would you need the full file to have a better idea or would it not make much of a difference?

And yeah, thanks for pointing out to me that XMA and xWMA are two different things. Dang, that's confusing. I don't really know of any other games that use the latter format.

[bgbennyboy]

I found a demo version on the net that someone had ripped, like I say though I've only had a quick look.

[bgbennyboy]

I was being stupid; the first 4 bytes indicates that its using LZX compression. You can decompress the file using xbdecompress here.

I've done a quick update to Monkey Island Explorer to support the big endian archive and dds images.

[Gannet]

I'm going to keep trying to do this, if I can get a container then I can easily make an app to read the soundbanks and put the data in a RIFF/WMA container. Its a shame that the WMA format is such a pain in the arse¬

Is this possible yet? I'd like to extract the audio and work with them in the original wma format.

No, sadly.

[Gannet]

Do you know the bitrate or other details about them?

[LordTrilobite]

Has anyone tried to mute the narrator yet by replacing the files with blank ones?

Pleas make MISE2 compatible version.
I would like to translate MISE2 also...

[Dunstan]

Formats of MI2SE fr.uitex.info and fr.speech.info:

Format of fr.uitext.info:

Byte 0-3: identifying data(?)
Byte 4-10131 index table in 8 byte records
Byte 10131- localization data in label text - localization text format separated by 00 bytes.


The index table contains reversed 4 byte values (for example hex 90 27 00 00 -> hex 00 00 27 90), every value corresponds to one of the labels (like MENU_PLAY_NEW_GAME) or one of the localized texts (like NOUVELLE PARTIE).
There is an offset value for every element in the index table which is the address of the first byte of the pointer in the file. In the case of the first record, for the index of the table which points to 'MENU_PLAY_NEW_GAME' by value 00 00 27 90, the correct address would be 00 00 27 94, for the second index, which is the translated text 'NOUVELLE PARTIE' 00 00 27 9F, the correct address is 00 00 27 A7.

The correct addresses of the n-th item are:

label text of the n-th item: (reversed value from the 4 bytes starting at (2*(n)-1) in the index table)+4*(2*n-1)
localized text of the n-th item: (reversed value from the 4 bytes starting at (2*n) in the index table)+4*(2*n)

where n starts with 1.

Format of the fr.speech.info:

byte 0-3 : identification data (?)
byte 4-279203 : index table in 32 byte records (8725 entries)
byte 279204- : localization text in label text - English original - translation format separated by bytes 00.

The index table's 32 byte records contain pointers to the actual speech file, and to the localization data in this file. Bytes 20-31 contain the three 4-byte reversed pointers, bytes 20-23 for the label text (like 'GUY_4_shore_11_1a'), bytes 24-27 for English original (like 'It doesn't seem to open.'), bytes 28-31 for the translation (like 'Ça n'a pas l'air de s'ouvrir.'). Reversed values mean, the actual value of the pointer is byte0+256*byte1+256*256*byte2+256*256*256*byte3. Pointers have an offset which is the position of the first byte in the file. So correct pointers for the n-th item are:

label text of the n-th item: (value from the reversed 4 bytes starting at position 4+(n-1)*32+20) + 4+(n-1)*32+20
English original of the n-th item: (value from the reversed 4 bytes starting at position 4+(n-1)*32+24) + 4+(n-1)*32+24
localized text of the n-th item: (value from the reversed 4 bytes at position 4+(n-1)*32+28) + 4+(n-1)*32+28

Where n starts with 1.

Hope it helps.

[LogicDeLuxe]

What exactly does monkey2.pak different from Monkey1.pak? extractpak doesn't work in monkey2.pak.
I need a simple way to extract monkey2.000 and monkey2.001 from it, for the Ultimate Talkie Edition Project.

Does someone know what changes are required to extractpak.c to get it working?

[bgbennyboy]

I've made a quick app to do the extraction for you.
Get it here.

Command line switches are listed in the readme file or with /?

thanks
can you share your "FONT TOOL" ?

[LogicDeLuxe]

Would you be so kind and write a license text which grants the redistribution and usage of extractpak and MI2_ResExtract with the talkie edition projects?
Preferably without the need to release the source code, as I accidentally damaged it.

The ScummVM team insists on this kind of stuff. Understandable, as they have to be very cautious about what they do. Thanks in advance.

[bgbennyboy]

Damaged what? Sure I'll re-release and re-upload it under the gpl.
