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?

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

or use sysinternal's strings tool to dump text to file

Code: Select all
strings64.exe -o rdata.rdata > out.txt
