Are there any text editor for FF X?

[marul]

Do you know any text editor for this game? Because I really need one.

There's this, but it still needs to be coupled with an hex editor.

it says ps2, i'm looking for a pc version actually. is it compatible with pc version? just to make sure

Dunno, you'll have to try.
If it's not compatible with the Steam version, that means the texts are likely to be written in UTF-8 or a similar standard encoding. Most hex editors have a text-searching and editing feature that will work just fine in that case.

Both the PS2 and Steam versions of FFX use the same character encoding.
The following is C# code for setting up a pair of encode / decode maps that translates characters between FFX's charset and Unicode:
Code: [Select]

// SymbolsEncodeMap.Add((char)0, 0x00);             // Null character// NOTE: 0x03 seems to be used as a newline character. We need to handle this separatedly since it needs to be represented//       by two characters (\r\n) in unicode however.EncodeMap.Add(' ', 0x3a);EncodeMap.Add('!', 0x3b);EncodeMap.Add('\"', 0x3c);EncodeMap.Add('#', 0x3d);EncodeMap.Add('$', 0x3e);EncodeMap.Add('%', 0x3f);EncodeMap.Add('&', 0x40);EncodeMap.Add('\'', 0x41);EncodeMap.Add('(', 0x42);EncodeMap.Add(')', 0x43);EncodeMap.Add('*', 0x44);EncodeMap.Add('+', 0x45);EncodeMap.Add(',', 0x46);EncodeMap.Add('-', 0x47);EncodeMap.Add('.', 0x48);EncodeMap.Add('/', 0x49);EncodeMap.Add(':', 0x4a);EncodeMap.Add(';', 0x4b);EncodeMap.Add('<', 0x4c);EncodeMap.Add('=', 0x4d);EncodeMap.Add('>', 0x4e);EncodeMap.Add('?', 0x4f);EncodeMap.Add('[', 0x6a);EncodeMap.Add('\\', 0x6b);EncodeMap.Add(']', 0x6c);EncodeMap.Add((char)(0x0361), 0x6d);      //  ͡ , could maybe be replaced with '^'? «https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_breve»EncodeMap.Add('＿', 0x6e);                 // TODO: Replace with a normal underscore if no other (shorter) such is found in the game fontEncodeMap.Add('`', 0x6f);EncodeMap.Add('{', 0x8a);EncodeMap.Add('|', 0x8b);EncodeMap.Add('}', 0x8c);EncodeMap.Add('～', 0x8d);                 // Fullwidth tildeEncodeMap.Add('•', 0x8e);EncodeMap.Add('【', 0x8f);EncodeMap.Add('】', 0x90);EncodeMap.Add('♪', 0x91);EncodeMap.Add('♥', 0x92);EncodeMap.Add('“', 0x94);EncodeMap.Add('”', 0x95);EncodeMap.Add('—', 0x96);EncodeMap.Add('¡', 0x98);EncodeMap.Add('↑', 0x99);EncodeMap.Add('↓', 0x9a);EncodeMap.Add('←', 0x9b);EncodeMap.Add('→', 0x9c);EncodeMap.Add('̈', 0x9d);                 // TODO: Consider replacing with '¨' if this isn't represented by some other character codeEncodeMap.Add('«', 0x9e);EncodeMap.Add('°', 0x9f);EncodeMap.Add('»', 0xa1);EncodeMap.Add('¿', 0xa2);EncodeMap.Add('À', 0xa3);EncodeMap.Add('Á', 0xa4);EncodeMap.Add('Â', 0xa5);EncodeMap.Add('Ä', 0xa6);EncodeMap.Add('Ç', 0xa7);EncodeMap.Add('È', 0xa8);EncodeMap.Add('É', 0xa9);EncodeMap.Add('Ê', 0xaa);EncodeMap.Add('Ë', 0xab);EncodeMap.Add('Ì', 0xac);EncodeMap.Add('Í', 0xad);EncodeMap.Add('Î', 0xae);EncodeMap.Add('Ï', 0xaf);EncodeMap.Add('Ñ', 0xb0);EncodeMap.Add('Ò', 0xb1);EncodeMap.Add('Ó', 0xb2);EncodeMap.Add('Ô', 0xb3);EncodeMap.Add('Ö', 0xb4);EncodeMap.Add('Ù', 0xb5);EncodeMap.Add('Ú', 0xb6);EncodeMap.Add('Û', 0xb7);EncodeMap.Add('Ü', 0xb8);EncodeMap.Add('ß', 0xb9);EncodeMap.Add('à', 0xba);EncodeMap.Add('á', 0xbb);EncodeMap.Add('â', 0xbc);EncodeMap.Add('ä', 0xbd);EncodeMap.Add('ç', 0xbe);EncodeMap.Add('è', 0xbf);EncodeMap.Add('é', 0xc0);EncodeMap.Add('ê', 0xc1);EncodeMap.Add('ë', 0xc2);EncodeMap.Add('ì', 0xc3);EncodeMap.Add('í', 0xc4);EncodeMap.Add('î', 0xc5);EncodeMap.Add('ï', 0xc6);EncodeMap.Add('ñ', 0xc7);EncodeMap.Add('ò', 0xc8);EncodeMap.Add('ó', 0xc9);EncodeMap.Add('ô', 0xca);EncodeMap.Add('ö', 0xcb);EncodeMap.Add('ù', 0xcc);EncodeMap.Add('ú', 0xcd);EncodeMap.Add('û', 0xce);EncodeMap.Add('ü', 0xcf);EncodeMap.Add('，', 0xd0);   // This appears to be another comma, positioned about one pixel higher vertically than the 0x46 one.
