new translation : github.com/thevm/jack/tree/english
first off you need to replace this "for file in listdir(dir):" by this "for file in listdir(unicode(dir, 'utf-8')):" in split_file.py.
be sure to put qgen and tx2gam in the same folder.
create a *.txt file and put "split_file.py --merge2 jack.txt" in it, save it as merge.bat
put merge.bat in the repository, double click on it, it should create a txt file name "jack.txt" in the repository.
go in jack o ninetail game folder, select jack.qsp and jack.qproj, copy them, create a new folder named original, paste both file in it.
open qgen.exe, in qgen open jack.qsp, it should be in jack o nine tail game folder.
in qgen click on game, import a txt2gam file, select jack.txt in the repository and import it and replace everything.
in qgen, click on game, save, be sure to go in jack o nine tail folder and click on jack.qsp to save over it.
Enjoy
Just to clarify some thing the translation is not complete yet but it is playable
DO NOT download the repository using the webbrowser or the zip file it will corrupt most of the text file and you wont be able to compile them, you need a third party program to download it, many are availlable on github, be sure to download the English branch, not the master one or the test_fix one.
i personaly use atlassian sourcetree to clone repository from github, it is easy to understand and specify wich branch to download in the advanced clone option.
i did not translate or did any of the work, but the explanation to do it are quite... well not clear to me
jack.txt should have around 7500 kb if it vary more then +/- 100kb your file is corrupted and wont work.
I can post on forum yet so if you could explain to everyone else on the forum im sure it would be helpful to the impatient who can't wait the full patch.
