  how to make it work, please tell me.

I am so sorry, this forum is so dead about any technical help for VN extracts, or fan-translating, etc... some GitHubs now in reading-only mode (you can't post any issues, ask questions etc), and that's all very frustrating.

 

I wonder if you still plan to work with Artemis engine. I don't know many things about how it works, just interested. Thanks it's not that difficult...

Hello everyone. I'm new to translation, the truth is I don't have much idea about programming.
Any way, I want to translate the vn "Hitotsu Tobashi Renai", and when trying to read the .ks files (where the scripts are), the letters come out with garbled characters.
I tried to extract the files (with GARbro) using "Karigurashi Renai" encryption but the letters are still illegible (Also, i try without encryotion)
I tried using other tools like "KrkrExtract" but I got an error message.
By the way, I also tried using Notepad++ and the result is the same. 
I changed the region of my PC to Japanese (unicode) but nothing changed.
I've been thinking about this issue for several days but I can't figure it out. 
The most curious thing of all is that a Brazilian team has already partially translated this vn, so it's not impossible. (Also, I can read the patch they made perfectly)
Honestly, I don't know if it's a question of the font, that is, I don't have it on my PC, or it's a question of decryption.
Thank you in advance for your attention and sorry for the spelling, since English is not my language.

GARbro won't extract the script into a readable format, for scripts dont use GARbro its for images/music. KiriKiriExtract will work, once you've successfully extracted the script with it you'll be able to edit it in notepad++ and it should be normal text. 

What error did you run into while using it? I've used it before and it worked fine, I can tell you the exact steps I did if you want or you can tell me what went wrong

GARbro no extraerá el script en un formato legible. No utilice GARbro para extraer scripts, sino para imágenes y música. KiriKiriExtract funcionará. Una vez que haya extraído el script con éxito, podrá editarlo en Notepad++ y debería ser texto normal. 

¿Qué error te ha surgido al usarlo? Lo he usado antes y funcionó bien. Puedo decirte los pasos exactos que seguí si quieres o puedes decirme qué salió mal.

I would like, if it's not too much trouble, for you to show me the exact steps, because, as I said, I'm new to this and I don't understand it very well.
Btw, thank you very much for responding.

No worries. Your data should all be in a .xp3 file, so it'll unpack images, music, sprites etc, as well as the script.

-

• On the GitHub page for krkrextract download ALL of the files, make sure you have everything, it won't work unless you have all 3

> KrkrExtract.Core.dll

> KrkrExtract.Lite.exe

> KrkrExtract.UI.Lite.dll

• Copy and paste all of these into the same folder as your game folder.

• Drag your game (the .exe for running your game) over and drop it onto the "KrKrExtract.Lite.exe" file. The game should then open and the krkrextract window will open alongside it.

• In the krkrextract window that opens, you can drag and drop your data.xp3 file onto it, and it'll begin unpacking/decrypting it for you, once it finishes, you'll get a new folder where the new files are. Inside you'll find where the script files are, the .ks script file should now be openable and readable with notepad/notepad++

Also, if it works, you'll have to delete the original data .xp3 file so when you edit the new files it'll show up as your translated text when you open the game

I did all the steps and it doesn't work for me.
I get the errors that I will show you in the following image.

(Also, the game doesn't start if I don't delete the KrkrEctract files from the game folder)
I decided to reinstall the game in case it was an installation error, but I keep getting that error.
Interestingly, in other games like "Girls in Glasses" and "Taimanin Asagi Premium Box" it worked perfectly and I was able to extract the files. I even decided to try another Asa Project game, which is "Renai 0 Kilometer" but, in that case, it only opened the game but KrkrExtract did not (or rather, it appeared in a fraction of a second and then disappeared, and then open the game)

(I want to clarify that my PC already has the "Languages for non-unicode programs" option changed to Japanese)

Again, thanks for responding and sorry for the inconvenience.
