Hello everyone. 
I am translating Renai, Karichaimashita "After Story" from Japanese. Extracting the text files went smoothly, but I have one problem and that is the character names.
I would like to know how I can translate the names, since when modifying the text, an error appears because the game cannot find the script that corresponds to the name.
I investigated and it turns out that the names correspond to a "macro" script or something like that. 
I searched through all the data and honestly I did not find the lines of code that correspond to the names (both in .ks and .tjs files)
Does anyone know how to find and modify them?
I know very little about programming so I have no idea.

Excuse my English and thanks in advance.

The actual names of the characters are in data.xp3\scenario\avan\Init_VariableADV.ks They are being used to both display the character name and look up the voices, so they cannot be changed there.

The macro you are looking for that displays them is at data.xp3\macro\Macro_Direct.ks

; ◆ネームレイヤ
名前表示＆記録

translates to Name Layer, and Name Display & Record.   @macro name="ネーム表示_ボイス" translates to something like Name_Voice_Voice. There is a second macro for names without voices called @macro name="ネーム表示"

So the code to modify the names for the voices macro is this.

    [if exp="mp.text.charAt(0) == '【'"]
        @ch text=%text charaname="&mp.b"
        @eval exp="f.ADV_CurrentCharaName = mp.text"
    [else]
        @ch text="&'【' + mp.text + '】'" charaname="&mp.b"
        @eval exp="f.ADV_CurrentCharaName = '【' + mp.text + '】'"
    [endif]

The @ ch text= variable/macro controls the main display name, and the @ eval exp=f.ADV_CurrentCharaName= variable/macro controls how it is displayed in the history log. So you can lazily update both by doing something like this...

    [if exp="mp.text.charAt(0) == '【'"]
        @ch text=%text charaname="&mp.b"
        @eval exp="f.ADV_CurrentCharaName = mp.text"
        [if exp="mp.text == '【絵未】'"]
            @ch text="【Emi】" charaname="&mp.b"
            @eval exp="f.ADV_CurrentCharaName = '【Emi】'"
        [endif]
        [if exp="mp.text == '【八純】'"]
            @ch text="【Hazumi】" charaname="&mp.b"
            @eval exp="f.ADV_CurrentCharaName = '【Hazumi】'"
        [endif]
    [else]
        @ch text="&'【' + mp.text + '】'" charaname="&mp.b"
        @eval exp="f.ADV_CurrentCharaName = '【' + mp.text + '】'"
    [endif]

Then just do that for every character. Keep adding [if   ]   [endif] blocks for every name in data.xp3\scenario\avan\Init_VariableADV.ks

The above is good syntax for debugging because it appends the name to the current name plate which proves the game is reading and updating the names correctly. For the final patch, once you have finished adding every [if][endif] block for all of the characters, comment out the original japanese name by prepending a semi-colon.

    [if exp="mp.text.charAt(0) == '【'"]
        ;@ch text=%text charaname="&mp.b"
        ;@eval exp="f.ADV_CurrentCharaName = mp.text"
        [if exp="mp.text == '【絵未】'"]

I am not sure is the code after [else] ever activates, but if it does, then that will also need to be updated.

    [else]
        @ch text="&'【' + mp.text + '】'" charaname="&mp.b"
        @eval exp="f.ADV_CurrentCharaName = '【' + mp.text + '】'"
        [if exp="mp.text == '八純'"]
            @ch text="【Hazumi】" charaname="&mp.b"
            @eval exp="f.ADV_CurrentCharaName = '【Hazumi】'"
        [endif]
    [endif]

Then do the same thing for the other macro without the voices to update that too.

One very important thing to keep in mind is that the scripts.ks files use tabs instead of spaces. Tabs \t not spaces must be used when indenting the lines or the game will crash if using 4 spaces for indentation.

Another thing I noticed about this kirikiriZ game is that the dialogue scripts like 0_FDちなこな_1.ks are encoded in UTF-8 which is very cool. I am pretty sure that is a no-go for kirikiri2, but it is nice to see at least some kirikiriZ games natively support utf-8 using dialogue.ks scripts instead of always requiring the emote format (.txt.scn).

Wow, I didn't expect such a detailed answer to my question.
Like I said, I don't know much about programming, but I can understand what I have to do with the code you showed me, since you explained it pretty well.

Now I'm going to get to work

Thanks you very much.

i've been trying to extract the pc version but can't get it to work: krkrextract, garbro, and arc_unpacker haven't been able to decrypt the files, arc_unpacker can extract the tlg's but they aren't viewable

hmm, so i'm guessing this game is unsupported for the time being unfortunately for both PC and PS3.

Does anyone know how to unpack Shiina rio v2.34~2.37 script files (.SCN)? I tried searching around on github and old Chinese unpacking forums but only found something that worked for the newer engines (v2.50) which are just simple text files.

Anyone able to get access to Muv Luv's sprite files? I specifically wanted the mid-animation talking and blinking faces, but I haven't found anything resembling them in online archives (spriters-resource, etc,). I tried riox and the version I had wasn't able to extract the sprites, only the CG's.

I'm trying to extract the standing CGs to [Anim] Kago no Naka no Valkyrie, (v7167).

I was able to do it with a previous version with no problem, but having since lost it and found a "new" version, I can't seem to figure it out.
This version needs no extraction, only decryption, as it uses .cwp files. I can't seem to get arc converter to work if that's even the right tool. Garbro and other such tools I've attempted have been no help either (not surprising, as they're more for unpacking). Can anyone advise?
Further, there's a weird thing I've never seen with any other game before.
The game content seems to be only 300ish MB. But aside from setup.exe, the cg and audio files, there's a "blackbox" folder with 4 files named blackbox 1,2,3,4 respectively, each averaging 1.6 GB. When installed the game is only the 300ish MB. Strange.

Anybody knows how to extract files from .pack files of Nie no Hakoniwa - Dollhouse of Offerings? I can't find any reliable info about this files and any know apps (7-Zip. GARBro) can't open them. Unity code compiled into native libraries (il2cpp) so i, sadly, can't figure it out with just "cracking" into original game code
