Virtual Families 2: Our Dream House - Finding Text

[Vivvian]

Hi, I'm Vivvian. It seems that this game was never translated it to spanish. I'm struggling to find text files. In previos games (Virtual Villagers) text was in a .xml file, so it was really easy to edit. But now I'm really lost, and the few .dat files I scanned trough a hex editor didn't give any sigh. I really want to translate it, so thank you so much if someone can help me

Thank you so much! It seems that the game text is in a .rdata file. Now, is there a way to convert it to .xml? Or edit it?

You can upload somewhere .rdata sample file, post here a link and I will check it later.

It seems that this file is some kind of .rdata section dump from EXE file:

The .rdata section contains data that is to be only readable, such as literal strings, constants and debug directory information.

You can use hex workshop to directly edit strings http://www.bpsoft.com/downloads/

or use sysinternal's strings tool to dump text to file https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysint ... ds/strings

Code: Select all

strings64.exe -o rdata.rdata > out.txt
