Will m004 work with Bootleg?  I'm trying to get bootleg to work, but it won't work without m003.
 
eN7eRaF, I dunno what you have done but that screenshot looks awful.  That is not how it is supposed to look.  Your border graphic and font look very messed up.  perhaps fancy transparency is not on?

@above, I am not sure why bootleg would not work with M003?  Explain?
 
Oh, I'm new at this and I'm still working my way around bootleg.  I didn't realise that I could turn that off.  Nevermind.
 
VERY IMPORTANT:  As this installer is very complex and the files used  interact with each other, there are bound to be some initial issues.   touphScript is also deployed and may have its own issues.  I will correct any issues within 1 week of today and pass any tS related ones to Luksy.  Think of this installer as a bug tester for M004b.  LASTLY: I suggest running this on a clean 1.02 exe.  If going over M003 installed exe, there may be issues.  A lot of internal changes have been made since M003 and these might not be accounted for.  In future I will account for them.

At work, But once i'm home you bet i'll be installing this baby!
 
The new Menu Overhaul with ReTranslation is absolutely awesome!
Now I have to figure out how to install this project with Aeris Revival and the Hardcore Mod.
Thank you!
This is obviously an immense amount of work.
 
I am uploading M004a in a moment.  Need to really to plug a few holes in the uninstaller (and reinstaller).
 
Here's a thing worth of note :

The retranslation won't work on the Aeris Revival and/or Hardcore mods.

I'd like to have an independant installer for the Retranslation... soon...
 
There is no point in a separate installer for Re-translation when all you are doing is ticking a box or not inside this installer. It also makes my job 100% harder and won't be happening.

This project should work with those other mods.  What happens when you use this installer with them?  How does it "not work"?  I will be trying to fix this.

Also M004a is uploaded.

The Re-Translation installer got stuck in the same place and had to use the Task Manager to exit it.
 
Noticed nothing... Was stuck in the screen where it says to be patient. Also, the log.txt in the data folder has a lot of errors like "Too few text entries". Also it never encoded the flevel, while the text got dumped...
 
Yeah it is touphscript.  With retranslation the files have to be encoded from my list, and if script has been altered in flevel it won't work.  Presumably Aerith revival and hardcore mods are changing script in flevel. 

There is a way around this, I can skip updating certain files in flevel (obv those would not be translated at all).

Does anyone have a full list of exactly which of the flevel files these 2 mods alter?  I will also notify luksy that his program hangs when this is the case.

In the Aeris Revival thread... and in the log of the Hardcore patch.

Is it possible for us to force the encode so that it'd encode it non the less? Or is it better for us to change some things for it to encode properly?
 
There is no way to force encode, if the person has altered script files to a certain degree in flevel then the retranslation with tS cannot work to edit text in them.  It is impossible.

The only way around this for now is to simply skip the affected files, and at the end of the Retranslation project, ship those files separately edited at encode time.
 
When installing Menu Overhaul on top of the Hardcore Mod, the installer froze during the flevel.lgp modification.
Here is the toughscript log.txt file:

Aeris Revival replaces all of the scene files, but it only actually makes changes to a few of them.
Ultima Espio said there are 3 scenes that conflict between Hardcore and Revival.
Unfortunately, he didn't mention which 3 scenes . . .
 
The problem is as stated above.  I need to know exactly which flevel files these mods alter so I can skip them.

That log list you have there is a start.... that might be all of em but id need to know for sure.  Also, might be other issues with retranslation.... It is important I get as much feedback on that as possible.

edit:

I will also talk to luksy later tonight and get some sort of check in place so that a. does not crash b. skips problem files.
