Do-it-Yourselves GUIDE
I was requested to port the same mod to other languages, which is not possible for me, as i'm lazy.
Instead, i'd promised to write down a Do-it-Yourselves guide, so that everyone could have a look at how i did it
So, lets start, shall we?
Things needed:
1.
Replace Studio
2.
Font Creator (optional, if only if you're gonna edit the font)
3. An s60v5 phone
and a lot of patience, and a PC.
The Process:
Replace Studio is the most important of them all. Since we're gonna edit more than 200 .r01 files having the same text, you're gonna need it. Its not possible to manually find all the instances, and replace them, manually
So,
1. Install Replace Studio and Open it up.
2. Load the Replace.srx script, which i've saved. It got all the buttons.
3. Now, on the right pane, select the location of your extracted_ROFS/Resource folder.
4. Enter the File Mask as *.r0x (where x= your language code | For English, its *.r01)
5. Mark the Search Subdirectories.
6. Click Ok
7. Now, on the left pane, double click on any the Options, Back,..... (here, i'd use Options)
8. In the Search For dialogue, replace Options with Options in your language.
9. .....
Before going into Replace with, let me get into sub basic of .r01 editing with hex. ;D
Options has
7 characters. If you check my Replace with dialogue, you can see that i've left equal no. of spaces.
ie, the symbol è = 1 char.
So, how i replaced Options is
.
So, total no. of chars =
7 characters
Likewise, replace the Back, Cancel etc.
10. Now, in the top pane, click on Search and Replace Icon.
11. You'd get a dialogue to Replace, Replace rest in file, replace all remaining etc etc.
12. Now, is the test for your patience. You'll have to press Enter key everytime you encounter a Options, Back... like the image.
13. Skip all the instances that you get like in the image.
14. The whole process could take almost half an hour, and would strain your eyes :-\
So, i'd recommend to Play some soothing music to make your work look easy
15. After the whole process, just use the place the font from my mod, and paste it in Resource folder
I'm not writing anything about font editing, as you could just try opening the font yourselves, and you'd understand it.
Hope you understood. Got any doubts, feel free to post 'em here
Either me, or anyone who knows a biit about hex-ing, would help
