Sword of the Berserk subtitles patch

Post#1 » Sun May 23, 2021 6:28 am

Hi,

Probably it's due to Kentaro Miura decease, I want to have a new look to this game and translate the japanese subtitle into european langage (french in particular).
The japanese version is the only one to have subtitle.

A while ago, I believe it's @yzb who took his precious time for helping me, share with me this information :

"The long subtitle of the Japanese version is in the.TEX file
The.TEX file is actually a PVR picture pack

Note that the subtitles are in the Alpha layer of the picture

You need to manually enter the file header of the PVR, or write a small program yourself" :

And share those screens capture to help me :

https://ibb.co/MGcq4T4
This second one is very interesting

But I look in the all versions game file, and all track03.bin and I never see this format and TXB0f ascii "caracters"...

I guess the .TEX files are compressed... Any clue how I can I open them please ?

There are TEX2TGA programs (written for specific games) that convert .TEX files to .TGA for viewing and editing purposes. I wonder if there's one that would work for Sword Of The Bersrk?

The Chinese version of this game was released a long time ago, here is the post and video

Unfortunately, I can't find the source code

But the tex file structure is very simple, hold my analysis of the structure directly into the pvr file can be saved

First many thanks to be here dear @yzb :-D

I never find the beginning of a .TEX started by ascii TXB0f or something similar.
I look very closely in file on TEXTURE folder.
I even look at the whole track03.bin

Berserk is the best manga ever and the game is really good for the fans. I remember that at the time it was kind of an important game, considering it was a little like "devil may cry" but a few years in advance.
I hope someone takes the time to translate it to as many languages as posible so more people can enjoy it.

Hey all,

i have played a bit around with the files in the game, and this is how the format specification looks like:

I made also a tool that extracts/converts the .TEX files into .PVR and packs them together after editing. Feel free to use it.
https://github.com/derplayer/DCBerserkTextureTool

For testing purposes, i've also created a small subtitles localization proof of concept, to see if it is possible.
Here are some videos of the results:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAFzFH7KNEU (Undub Proof of Concept (JPN Voice, ENG subtitles)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8GXRnm-Gsc (Undub Proof of Concept (ENG Voice, ENG subtitles)

I don't plan to continue with it, but maybe someone can take over with it in the future, with the right tool in his hand :lol:

Thank you again :-)
i have two questions : I didn't find any .exe in the github, I tried to run all files and no one start.... there is something to compile ? a software to download for running .cs files ?
In the readme I read only "Start the tool"...
I have the same issue with your pvr tool...
