dqx_launcher_assets

This repository houses some batch scripts that overwrite the exposed Japanese assets with English.

This contains:

• Relevant images that contain Japanese text
• Dialog tables
• String tables

I do not own these assets or work for DQX and am purely doing this to be able to understand the client in my native language (English).

How to use

• Install ResourceHacker
• Copy all contents of this repository into the installed ResourceHacker folder
• Copy your DQXLauncher.exe into the ResourceHacker folder
• Run DQXLauncher_port_assets.bat to port the files in this repo into your DQXLauncher.exe
• Back up your old launcher and copy DQXLauncher_modified.exe into your DQX folder
• Rename DQXLauncher_modified.exe to DQXLauncher.exe
• Enjoy

Thanks @Blodh for updating the assets into English.

Scripts

DQXLauncher_dump_text.bat

Dumps the dialog and string tables into a readable *.rc file, which gets dumped into the launcher_assets folder.

Note: This will overwrite the translated assets with the new files in the exe. Make sure you back these files up if you plan on dumping them again.

DQXLauncher_compile_to_res.bat

Compiles the modified *.rc files that were dumped into *.res files that can be imported via ResourceHacker.

DQXLauncher_port_assets.bat

Ports the finished files (PNGs, Bitmaps, Dialog and String tables) into DQXLauncher.exe, which will spit out a modified DQXLauncher_modified.exe file for consumption.
