Avernum escape from the pit, help with executable.

[raulpuro]

Hi
Is a translation with which I have been fighting over two years, Well most of the texts are .txt easily editable, but the executable from game (Avernum.exe) contains many texts and is a hell editing with a hex editor, I can not resize the string, I have to save constantly...

In Avernum.exe the texts are uncompressed, but I wonder if it is possible to export it to a txt or is there a simpler way to edit and then reinsert it again.

Attachment, the original executable, the texts start a little after the word "inflate 1.2.3 Copyright 1995-2005 Mark Adler" and end after "The Orb of Thralni Gives You the gift of flight!"

This is the url of the game demo.

I understand that this is very complicated but appreciate your help.

Greetings.

Simple solution: hex editor

Alternative solution:
This is a tool I wrote some years ago for a translation project.
Take a look at the description and the runtime help, it "may" be the tool you are looking for:

Hi,

Thanks for the URL, the program is great, very comfortable and even allows to increase the size of text, but unfortunately corrupts some images, but surely this is logical, the application is not made for this translation.

Edit:

You can select the entries you want change, you only have to remove the txt, now works correctly. Thanks a lot Aluigi.

Yeah exactly you must keep only the string you want to replace and delete all the others

I'm very happy that exestringz is still useful.

Hi,

Well, i have finished translating the executable, thanks to exestringz i have saved months of work, in the game there another file that is similar, but is not an executable and exestringz unfortunately does not work. I just wanted to ask if there is another magical application to extract and insert these texts.

Greetings and thanks.

That file is just... anything.
I don't see other alternatives to the hex editor.

Hi,

Yes, appears that contains nothing because the texts are far apart, but contains between 3,000 and 4,000 lines for translate.

Well, a good hex editor and patience, thanks for looking at Aluigi.

Greetings
