Using Purple Cat Tools

General Information[edit]

Chrono Cross[edit]

  1. Install Perl if you haven't already (get it from www.perl.org )
  2. Install the List::~MoreUtils extension ("perl -MCPAN -e "shell"", follow the configuration prompts, then "install List::~MoreUtils")
  3. "perl dumper.pl -iso=[CD image filename]" to dump a CD (replace "[CD image filename]" with the name of your CD image)

For me, it turns out that the TT program would crash *after* doing the LZSS compression for *all* of the files. That is, every single .scn file had been compressed into the corresponding .lzs file according to the file timestamps.

I found one workaround and one solution that works for unknown reasons:

1) Run Rein_Script, let it crash. Then edit /CD#/60_Scripts/Rein_Script.txt to comment out (with a /) the first three commands (up to Rooms_Lzss_C). Then run Rein_Script.bat again, and it will pick up with Rooms_Cpt_C.

2) For mysterious reasons, the script doesn't crash if I run Rein_ScriptC before running Rein_Script (obviously you have to do Dump_ScriptC before reinserting it). I have no idea why this is; my only guess is that some extraneous characters get removed when it copies the script from Textes_Apres into Fichiers_Apres.

If you're still out there and trying to translate CC with these tools, my suggestion is to do all of the translation in Script1_CD1.txt, Script2_CD2.txt and ScriptC_CD1.txt (and copy and rename that for CD2), then Rein_Script# and Rein_ScriptC before Rein_Script. The "Repartition" tools to break up the dialogue by character to send to different translators seems fiddly to me.

You might also find that the code unpacks accents incorrectly.
