Valid point, I did say it would be a lot of work :P
I was focused on the dialogue.

That won't translate any of the text expansions, or coded speech bubbles... And I suspect there are a lot of those.

Nexus files (like their steam counterparts) are published. You could decompile them or like Ledier said access the GitHub. To decompile them. You'd need the editor setup and functioning... But you're going to need it anyways if you want to manually translate the speech bubbles throughout the game.

Text expansions is system variables, I do not believe those would translate.

Our github link is here: https://github.com/ledeir/srrreboot
If you need help with github, shoot me a friend request and I'll help you in DM.
Syrael 23 May @ 2:31pm 
The folder contains only a lot of convo.bytes -files. I guess Nexus is really doing some magic here.
Would be nice if you can help me out with Github.
ledeir  [author] 23 May @ 1:52pm 
1. Download the zip
2. Inside the zip navigate to: SNES Tenth Street Demo/data/convos/
3. You should see a bunch of .convo.txt files
4. Open them with your text editor of choice.

That being said, its entirely possible Nexus is doing something I don't expect to the files... If that's the case I can point you to our source on GitHub...
Syrael 23 May @ 6:42am 
Cool. Thx :)
ledeir  [author] 23 May @ 5:52am 
I'll double check and let you know tonight.
Syrael 23 May @ 2:34am 
Okay, I just downloaded it from Nexus, but most of the files are .bytes.
How do I open them in the proper way or am I missing something?
ledeir  [author] 22 May @ 6:29pm 
The good news is that it is technically possible.

The bad news is that it would probably require a significant amount of work from someone who is fluent in both German and English. It is not something we would attempt.

Such a person could download the raw version of the mod from Nexus and then run through all the conversation files swapping the words from English to German. The actual process is straightforward, just time consuming.
Syrael 22 May @ 6:33am 
Is there any way to have this translated into German? There was an SNES version which is german. Are there any files with translations or something? Would be glad to help if needed.
ledeir  [author] 19 Apr @ 6:46pm 
Glad you got the gear, hopefully things will be easier for you now!
Don't hesitate to ask questions if you need to.
And thanks for letting me know about the spawning. I'll add it to my list...
Gilbals!? 19 Apr @ 6:24pm 
Ok, I do that and I get stuff, but the spawning bug is still a thing, and it doesn't matter how fast I end a combat. Even in the apartments, I can kill the 2 in there in 1 shot each, take 3 steps to leave that area, and they respawn on top of me. It's a definite bug.
ledeir  [author] 19 Apr @ 7:50am 
The original game definitely had some areas which were confusing and lacking direction, the beginning was one of them. Probably why it gained cult status instead of widespread appeal.

Follow the ganger you talked to immediately in front of the morgue, he'll lead you to the weapons.

The restaurant respawn while you are still there is probably a bug caused by the fights taking longer without the gun. (They respawn on a timer)
Gilbals!? 19 Apr @ 2:51am 
Am I dumb or is something wrong or I don't know? I never beat the old SNES game. I barely played it. I walk out of the morgue, talk to the dude, talk to some people, let the dog out, follow it to a loop where I get attacked, end up back in the main area, get attacked, go in a restaurant and find a key and a note, get jumped, about die to a mage and gunner, leave near death, walk out, get attacked, almost die, go back with a key to check the apartments, get attacked, die.

I'm playing on Normal, is there a pistol or knife or armor I can get before I start getting magic and bullets in me that almost 1 shot? I feel like there's no direction here. Was it like this on SNES too?

Also in that restaurant, if I explore it after fighting the dudes, they just spawn on top of me again immediately and I die. Is this just broken or is it supposed to be like this?
ledeir  [author] 14 Apr @ 8:43am 
I hope you both enjoy it!
donstarlancer 13 Apr @ 5:16pm 
Oooh nice. Can't wait to check this out. I grew up loving the SNES game as a young teen.
shake 13 Apr @ 4:12pm 
Thank you for all the work. When I was a child I wanted to play it on SNES, but could not find a copy. I look forward tothe story. Realy Thank you!
ledeir  [author] 7 Mar @ 9:33pm 
Glad you got it working! Have fun!
The_Bane 7 Mar @ 2:43pm 
@ledeir The prop pack was the issue. I had to un sub and resub to get the prop pack to install correctly.
ledeir  [author] 6 Mar @ 2:31pm 
@The_Bane - Its been a while since we've seen any can't start messages!

Usually that happens because Geeked's prop pack hasn't been subscribed to or it hasn't downloaded yet (its large so sometimes it takes a while)

Let me know if that helps. If it doesn't I'll dig through old comments to try and identify other possible causes.
The_Bane 6 Mar @ 10:56am 
I can't start it with either a new character or the default character.
The_Bane 6 Mar @ 10:02am 
I can't play this. It just continually shows UGC loading. Anyone run into this and have a fix?
erazerhead99 9 Jan @ 5:52am 
Ok, THX.
ledeir  [author] 8 Jan @ 7:15pm 
I'm sorry to say that we have no plans to adapt the mod to the Hong Kong engine.
Last I checked the process was rather involved.
erazerhead99 8 Jan @ 6:58pm 
Will this mod be at any point be adapted for the Hongkong engine, or will it stay on Dragonfall?
Pika Pika 24 Dec, 2024 @ 12:13pm 
Thank you!
ledeir  [author] 21 Dec, 2024 @ 6:23pm 
Apparently I never turned my computer on yesterday...

There are a handful of places throughout the game which give you "Reputation" hits, but its almost entirely determined by your behavior in Drake Tower.

Key decisions are:
- Make a decision. I can't remember if I removed this in the end, but at least in earlier versions if you let the escape prompt asking which way to go timeout then you would usually get a bad end.
- Kill the robots, not the people. Killing the guards is a huge bad end flag.
- Go down, as long as you didn't kill the guards I think that option is safer... On the downside, this is the ending which sometimes bugs out.

Glad you had fun!
DaveOfDeath  [author] 20 Dec, 2024 @ 5:53pm 
@Ledier may need to answer this. I know there is a time component at the end, but I'm not sure what other flags get set throughout the rest of the story that may have affected the outcome.
Pika Pika 20 Dec, 2024 @ 5:46pm 
Very nice work. Really liked it... but I got the bad ending. How do you get the good one?
Geeked  [author] 8 Dec, 2024 @ 5:02am 
@dadsunite - Shadowrun 2 should be in Las Vegas - with a story frame like The Hangover (because memory loss) of Armitage trying to figure out what happened to Kitsune. Some of the other Shadowrunners from the original should be in it. And Go.
ledeir  [author] 7 Dec, 2024 @ 4:55pm 
We look forward to seeing what you come up with ;)
zer0_w0n 7 Dec, 2024 @ 12:04am 
Well thanks Gents, we never got Shadowrun 2 as promised in the credits so this is just as good.

Oh and you're right, the editor has been pretty easy to learn.
DaveOfDeath  [author] 3 Dec, 2024 @ 5:41pm 
That was a good time...
Geeked  [author] 27 Nov, 2024 @ 10:09am 
Granny Cookies mission was fun to make - glad it was fun to play
ledeir  [author] 26 Nov, 2024 @ 9:23am 
Dave and Geeked get credit for the side questions. They did a great job on them!
At this point I have no idea if there are any editor guides around, I would expect there are.
That being said it is pretty straight forward and easy to learn.
zer0_w0n 26 Nov, 2024 @ 5:23am 
Ledeir - this is absolutely awesome.

I loved this game as a kid and this mod, and it's little extras like Granny Cookies and her side quest are just great.

Do you have a guide that could teach me how to work the editor?
OldeBalls 27 Oct, 2024 @ 7:48pm 
I'd always thought the Genesis Shadowrun game was way better than the SNES one but good work for doing this anyway, looks super interesting.
ledeir  [author] 17 Sep, 2024 @ 6:44am 
I'm glad you finally got it working, even if you had to go with the "nuclear" option of doing it manually. ;)
IceKnight069 16 Sep, 2024 @ 7:56am 
Hey peeps, got my final reply from Paradox. They are just a publisher and the game is considered complete. They supplied one final link... Hopefully it helps someone.

My advice is to use old installs. If not possible, these instructions worked for me. Well the idea did. Download mod pack from a site like Nexus. Place unzipped data in the correct path. Open as a mod and publish locally.

IceKnight069 13 Sep, 2024 @ 6:14pm 
New wrinkle. My desktop (old install) allows me to contect to the Steam library and downloads/updates are good. On the NEW install, bad link and no updates. I think the Paradox thing is the issue. Don't know what to make of it or how to fix it, however.
ledeir  [author] 12 Sep, 2024 @ 6:51am 
The help is appreciated IceKnight.
Its a strange problem...
IceKnight069 10 Sep, 2024 @ 11:55am 
In an effort to assist, I reached out to Paradox Support. They apologized for not being able to help directly (not something they created, so don't cover). But they did TRY to help by doing some searches. These techniques did not work for me (yet?) But I am supplying in the event they might help others. YMMV.

ledeir  [author] 10 Sep, 2024 @ 6:45am 
That's definitely odd...
I'll try on a different computer when I get the chance and see if I encounter the same thing.
IceKnight069 9 Sep, 2024 @ 9:50pm 
I just tried to do this yesterday as well as today. Fresh install of Steam on a wiped/reloaded computer. The browse buttons no longer work inside of the games for me. And when I fire up a web browser and hop onto Steam with a Sign-in, I have the same issues as @Great Old One. I wonder if the button not working is a factor. Very sad atm :(
Geeked  [author] 3 Sep, 2024 @ 11:19am 
all of this is 400mb at the very most - game has never been reliable on telling you if something has been downloaded - and the download speed is also unknown - and its not recognized unless you restart the game a few times and steam a few times.
ledeir  [author] 28 Aug, 2024 @ 7:07pm 
@Great Old One - Hmmm... Usually once you restart Shadowrun Returns its enough to get it going... Perhaps a steam update messed up your settings?

In the steam client, open the steam menu, go to settings and check the downloads and cloud options. I've heard having cloud off can mess up other games.

Also, right click on the game in the steam client, go to properties, and see if cloud is enabled. That's another thing which I've heard messed up other mods.
Great Old One 27 Aug, 2024 @ 7:39am 
I cannot for the life of me get this mod to run. I've tried all the tips and tricks, and it just refuses to download. They're listed in properties, but they're sitting at 0 bytes.
ledeir  [author] 23 Aug, 2024 @ 7:01pm 
@the-freshmaker05 - when you subscribe to it, and the prop pack, the next time you open Shadowrun: Dragonfall it will start to download. Once it finishes downloading, you may need to restart Shadowrun for it to be playable. You should then see it as an option when you start a new game or you can go directly to the content screen and start it from there.
Hope that helps!
