Hi there, this is my first attempt translating a VN. I still know nothing about coding and extraction, and I tried my best to follow the instruction in the main posts but the extracted files aren't working.
The game I'm translating is a short VN by TARHS called the Table of N http://www.tarhs.com/N.html. It's made with Kirikiri, and what I assume are the script files are in .ks format. But when I try to open it on Notepad++ it comes up with text that don't make sense and I don't know how to fix it. I tried extracting the image and the sound files as well, but I couldn't open any of them either. Does it matter if it's a fairly old game from 2012 that uses Kirikiri2/KAG3?
I tried a couple tools (Garbro and CrassGUI http://ucla.jamesyxu.com/?p=50) which got me the same results (? to a total beginner, at least) and I can't seem to get KrkrExtract to work. Was I supposed to launch krkrextract.exe and drag the game.exe there or did I miss something?

Also, just to anticipate the next step, what would be the best text editor in this case and for a beginner like me? Thank you so much!!! It's my first time wanting to translate a VN so bad and everything about VN dev is new to me, so any pointer is appreciated!!!
