dqx_en_config

Python scripts that generate hex to paste into a hex editor for a translated English DQX settings client.

I do not own or work for DQX and am purely doing this to be able to understand the client in my native language (English)

How to use

• Open DQXConfig.exe with a hex editor like wxMEdit (something that supports utf-8)
• Search for 45 56 54 58 10. This indicates the start of text
• Copy from the first byte that has string data all the way to the last string right before "FOOT"
• Paste the bytes into app/<file>_orig.hex (one for controls and one for settings)
• Run main.py to generate easily-read json files for both of these hex dumps
• Port over (with hyde_json_merge) or translate the json files
  • If using hyde_json_merge:
    • You need to put the orig file in the src dir and remove _orig
    • You need to put the new file in the dst dir and remove _new
    • Rename both files to add _new in the out dir and put them in app
• Run parse.py to generate app/<file>_new.hex (one for controls and one for settings)
• Copy the hex in each file and paste directly over the bytes in your hex editor
• Save the executable
• If desired, open your edited DQXConfig.exe with ResourceHacker and replace with assets in imgs

How to install

• Back up C:\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix\DRAGON QUEST X\Game\DQXConfig.exe (rename it to DQXConfig.orig.exe or something)
• Paste the patched config exe (see releases on the right) into this directory
• Have fun
