Tex Murphy: Mean Streets 1989 text extractor

[jack7277]

Hello, I'm making a translation of the game to russian, need some help.
I did rus fonts and now need an extractor of the text, then change it and put it back to file.
if someone will help, many thanks to him )

I don't understand what 3fh/63 means.

original topic here, you can take a look at the examples.

Indeed, there is something strange about that sequence which is similar to that at offset 0x8e92.
Anyway the following script at least is a starting point for making additional tests:

Code: Select all

get NAME basename
string NAME + ".txt"
get END_OFF short
xmath STRINGS "(END_OFF - 2) / 2"
for i = 0 < STRINGS
    get OFFSET short
    math OFFSET + 0x28
    slog NAME OFFSET -1
next i
