Ao no Kanata VN script

[UtkarshAgni]

Guys, I decided to try and translate Ao no Kanata visual novel. But I have no idea how to extract the script and then repack it from my pc. I tried various arc unpacking tools, but nothing worked. Can someone give me 'very detailed' tutorial on how to extract the script and repack it? I'll really appreciate it

Dude, give up. That VN is cursed.

You can ask for advice to the people that tried translating that VN. Maybe they can forward you the extracted text.

May the force be with you if your taking that project

Guys, I've actually managed to extract the files I wanted (names like ep01, ep02...) and they have no extension. I first tried BGI ScriptEncoder.exe to decode ep01 file but it only converted it to a blank .txt file. So then, I used BGI python program (bgi_dump.py) in the cmd but it is giving me the following error:

[

C:\Users\Name\Downloads\data01100>bgi_dump.py ep01
Dumping ep01...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Name\Downloads\data01100\bgi_dump.py", line 60, in <module>
    dump_script(script)
  File "C:\Users\Name\Downloads\data01100\bgi_dump.py", line 40, in dump_script
    text_section = bgi_common.get_text_section(text_bytes)
  File "C:\Users\Name\Downloads\data01100\bgi_common.py", line 63, in get_text_section
    texts = [x.decode(bgi_setup.senc) for x in strings]
  File "C:\Users\Name\Downloads\data01100\bgi_common.py", line 63, in <listcomp>
    texts = [x.decode(bgi_setup.senc) for x in strings]
UnicodeDecodeError: 'cp932' codec can't decode byte 0xf7 in position 0: incomplete multibyte sequence

]

Sometimes the decode error is 0x9a, 0x8a. If there is anything that I'm doing wrong, please let me know.

You should try to use arc-reader to extract files from .arc archive and decrypt them. To edit script-files use EthornellEditor. Thereafter pack them with AE VN tools with parameter [ARC] Ethornell Buriko General Interpreter v1 and replace .arc file in the game folder.

 

P.s. if you have problem with compiling tools, you may use these files: http://rgho.st/666TYxVp2

I guess, since the VN was picked up, this topic should be closed
