MH Oldschool

I have released a new version of the MHG Wii English Patch today.

Here is a list of everything that has been changed

• Changed all item names - following a unified naming scheme similar to the one used by Break Arts

• Changed all weapon names - using names mostly based off of the newer titles

• Changed all armour names - following the Japanese labels of G, S, and U with some changes based on newer titles

• Changed most status messages

• Updated settings menu translation (main menu and quest settings)

• Updated armour skill point names

• Updated armour skill names

• Updated weapon status screen

• Updated armour status screen

• Updated bowgun ammo status screen (ammo is no properly lined up now)

• Combo menu is translated

• Character creation is translated

• All quest names have been translated (new subspecies quest names, G Wii displays subspecies quests with different names)

• All quest objectives have been updated (subspecies are listed separately, they are listed separately in Japanese)

• All quest descriptions have been updated (new subspecies quest descriptions as well)

• All Gallery cutscenes have been translated (4 of them need pointers updated)

• FMV cutscenes have been fixed to work properly on console and emulator

• Start menu text has been updated (only in quests for the time being) (Abandon Quest text is messed up for the time being)

If you find any mistakes please let me know

Any feedback is welcomed

And special thank you to Yuzucchi for her wonderful tool to help edit quests, items, weapons, and armour.

For this patch I had to start from scratch on a lot of the translations due to broken pointers for the FMV cutscenes. Yuzucchi was a huge help with this making an amazing tool to help edit quests, weapons, armour, and item names with adjusted pointers.

Sorry i'm sure a dumb question - how do I apply the patch using xdeltaui, as it's looking for an xdelta type file.

Sorry I left the xdelta part in the post by accident I changed it over to a riivolution patch.

Thank you so much for your hard work, Adam! I am trying to apply the riivolution patch you provided (the current one in your download link, as of today), but I am simply not seeing it applied to my game (weapons and quests remain in japanesees). I've seen at least a dozen videos on how to apply a Riivolution patch, but I haven{t had any luck. If it isn't too much of a problem, could you provided some step by step functions to apply the patch? I just want to be able to know how I could do this.

Thank you so much for your time: keep the great wok with this mod,

A quirk with this riivolution patch is that on dolphin you need to make sure that both the XML and it's associated folder are in the default directory for riivolution patches as it's replacing main.dol with the patch. Eventually I'll make it a xDelta patch one I start editing multiple files.

Hopefully this helps.

This is insightful, thank you so much for it. Would you know what is the name of the default directory for riivolution patches for Dolphin (I{m using a regular Windows PC)? If so, how can I access it? Am I correct to think that the installation consists of simply copying and pasting the contents from the unzipped "MHGWiiNewEnglishPatchV2" folder (the "NewEnglishPatch.xml" and the "MHGii" sub-folder) and performing a right click in the ISO file at the Dolphin Menu and clicking "Start with Riivolution Patches"? Or is the process more complicated than this? Sorry if I seem like a beginner, but the patching process hasn't working for me.

When you right click a game in Dolphin and hit "Start with Riivolution Patches" then hit "Open Riivolution XML" it should open a folder in your documents C:\Users\username\Documents\Dolphin Emulator\Load\Riivolution extract my patch in there.

When extracted you should have a folder named MHGii and NewEnglishPatch.xml

Open NewEnglishPatch.xml through "Start with Riivolution Patches" to start up the game with the patch.

First at all.... thank you so much for this!!!

I want to translate some text parts, could you help me with programs to do that!

like -> ゲームデータを保存する translated into "Save game data" (sleep in bed) and
the text at the begining screen wich i suposse means" connect wii classic controller"

I have 010 editor....

First Quest is in japanese....... :/

I have been editing main.dol using a hex editor, the hex editor I am using is MadEdit.

I have been working on the patch still but progress is a little slow while I focus on my college courses.
Notable things I have done since this release

• Armour Skill points and Skill names have been adjusted based on more recent titles

• Monster Referance book text has been translated

• Some village ui has been translated (most of is not located in main.dol so)

What I'm currently working on

• Item descriptions (255/476 done)

• Armour descriptions

• Weapon descriptions
