Stone Story RPG - Game not changing strings?

Post by The_Reaper_CooL »

Hello there guys!

I've fully translated a game which came out a couple of days ago called Stone Story RPG. It's a Unity game, and I translated it as any other, but it doesn't matter if I change the strings in the files the game doesn't get localised, the strings doesn't change.

Any idea what causes this, or how can I fix it?

file " sharedassets0.assets "
extract it with " UnityEX "

search and unpack all files " sharedassets0_0000#.-131 " with " UnityText " ( english language )

Thanks, but this doesn't contain all of the strings that are in-game. Most strings are in the EN_General, EN_Items and EN_Characters files. I've translated them, imported them back in and it doesn't work. That's what I need help with.

Okay, I've figured it out, so the topic can be deleted.

Why need to delete the topic? If you figured it out, maybe you should share your experience with the translation method.
It's a forum anyways.

You're right!

So I think it uses an older version of Unity, but if not, then here's why it didn't work:

First of all I translated the English text files, but it didn't work, only sometimes. Then I translated the German ones, and they worked most of the time. I've realised that the problem lies in the file sizes: If the file I import back in is bigger or even smaller than the original size, the game doesn't read all strings or simply crashes.

So what I did is I've translated the German files, because those contain unicode characters which I need, and then compared the size to the original ones. Because my files were smaller I put some spaces at the end of the file, so the size would match the original one. Then I imported the files back in, and it worked.

Basically every file should be the exact same size when you import them, and this includes the whole sharedassets0.assets as well.
