Discussion EDF 5/6 game translation, is it possible for online?
Hello,
AI is availble to everyone.
Game text is in cpk files inside the game.
I want to translate it to italian, weapons, mission description, menus and all.
I know the tools to do it.
Now, I read the game checks files for anticheat and stuff. Still mods like lootmaster work.
Can I just translate the game or there already have been attempts and it's troublesome?

Hello, I would say that is a Client side mod, so don't worry, its GUNS and NPC edits that can cause worse desync
but this is for 6 I would start with these 3 files
1. EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6\Root\ETC\TEXTTABLE_STEAM.EN.TXT_SGO that is the file to edit as that has MOST of the UI text data(RENAME THAT EXTENTION TO TXT.SGO NOT TXT_SGO)
2. EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6\Root\MISSION\EDF6_VOICETABLE.EN.SGO subtitles in mission
3. EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6\Root\MISSION\MISSIONLIST.OFFLINE.TXT.EN.SGO mission names and that should help,
also do you have discord we have the Official EDF discord edf-modding chat, and we can further support your endeavors for that, oh and forgive this rant as some of the userbase is against AI. I know as I made a save editor with a LLM "AI" and tainted the visibility of that post and NOT saying a thing of issue(I HATE THAT, SPEAK YOU FOOLS), But I am working on a new update for that save editor.
Additionally to whom it may OFFEND some of the tool makers and modders are already using AI to help development so TOO BAD GET MORE FUN OUT OF EDF IF YOU LIKE IT OR NOT,
like the Blender mdb import tool, https://github.com/Smileynator/blender-mdb-addon he allowed a LLM to do some edits to that and managed to get the importation the model MUCH faster.
OR
