Viper Games/SGS.DAT Tools

Bluelyth:
Its ok, its probably cuz my computer hasn't been shut off in the past month =p Something could have happened to my ISO's also.  Aslong as I know its not the tool, it narrows down the problem. I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks.

JG:
I'm now taking offers to help script the Viper games with my side-by-side game text extraction tool. All SGS games are up for grabs.  I can get the text out of GT1 and the Islands games through other means (the shift-jis text is wide open in the .dxr files) Can't promise anything on M3 yet.
So far I have V6, V8, V10, V12, GTS, and CTR rules finished. BTR (through Anex86) and M1 (which uses a 20 pixel tall font instead of 18) have been started, but the rules havent been finished.  Guynarock, V16, F40, F50, M5, GTB, and RSR havent been started but will be ready by the time I'm ready to release this to scripters.  Please send me a private message on which games you're interested in scripting, and I'll work out a plan of attack for this project.

If you know how to use Window's REGEDIT tool, that's a plus.  It'll certainly help extract save file information in case theres a rules problem later in the games than which I tested.


12/30 Update: Support for M1, F40, and F50 added. Had to pause for a while at F40 in order to support another new font set, since F40 uses a smaller font. I now have fonts for the common 18x18, the 20x20 used in M1, and the 16x16 used in F40. I'm aware that Typing uses yet another font, but I hope that's it.

1/1 Update: Support for V16, GTB, RSR, M5, and Typing added.  That should be it for the SGS games.  I'll take a peek at M3 to see how difficult it'll be to implement, as a side-by-side translation as I'm playing would help write a FAQ/walktrhough, but since we've got that M3 parser tool, it's not absolutely required.  So the only real work left are the PC98 games emulated through Anex86.  I've got access to BTR, Animahjong X, and the two Reserve games - so, five to go.

Oh, and I guess I should point out that you need Windows 2000 or XP to help out.  9x versions dont have the neccesary Unicode support to make this program work without alot of backwards programming tricks.

Echelon:
So I'm a little behind ... what does Grapholic actually do?

I'll probably have my hands on basically all of the Viper games soon, thanks to hentaimegaworld
(I got GTB today)

And the Lanjerie games are huge. o_O

Bluelyth:
Grapholic extracts all the images from the dat files in many hentai games as bmps. Bmps are put in order to form the animated gifs we all know and love.

JG00 asked for this in my thread, so here it is:

Oh! Text Hooker ver 1.0

The latest version is 1.0, which was made in 2004...so it's pretty outdated. Plus, it needs a patch from the Hongfire forums for it to function properly. It's pretty primitive, though.

The patch can be found in the main site:
