- Extract all files into your Dynasty Warriors 7 folder, or any folder that has the LINKDATA files.
- Run Patch.bat
Alternatively, if you have issues with the .bat, you can run xdelta manually as:
xdelta3.exe -d -s LINKDATA.IDX.bak LINKDATA.IDX.patch LINKDATA.IDX
Files should be renamed before patching, ".bak" is used for the original file in the above example.
Use "xdelta3.exe -h" if you need help with using it.
Known issues:
- Overhead names, and names on in-battle messages are asterisks
Unfortunately, I can't fix this. I tried, but I lack the coding and ASM skills to be able to fix it.
If someone who knows their stuff and can get it working, that'd be great.
- Idling on the main menu and triggering the AI battles will crash the game.
Just don't idle on the main menu. At least idle in one of the sub-menus, and the game
won't autoamtically kick in the AI battles.
- Blacksmith seals are broken
Yeah, just ignore this one. They show up fine on the right while highlighting the weapon.
Just hope this doesn't cause crashes, hasn't during testing.
- String lengths
Every string on every page in the game has a hard-coded length. I can't patch all of them.
I've tried to patch all the gameplay-relevant strings.
Untranslated text:
- All DLC content
DLC content isn't on the XL disc, and I have to access to the DLC, thus I can't implement
what I don't have. If anyone can get them off their HDD, then I'd be happy to patch it in.
- Narrator text
I'm not 100% sure where these strings are, but I'm pretty confident it's one of the files that
I couldn't stop from crashing the game.
- Encyclopaedia
I couldn't prevent crashes with converting this file from English either.
- Warrior info on load screens
Same deal, couldn't stop the game crashing everywhere after patching the English version in.
