======================================================================== SQUARE'S TRANSLATION ======================================================================== Rudra’s Treasure Patch {R2} July 1st 1999 ======================================================================== *IMPORTANT* We ask you NOT to distribute the patch without this file, as it contains useful and required information concerning the project. Welcome to Square's Translation's third official release of Rudra no Hihou translation patch. Rudra’s Treasure is a game never released in North America and we think that it would had better be translated because of the game’s quality. All fourthousand years,the god Rudra appears on the planet and annihilates the currently dominating race in order to replace it by a new lifeform. After the above tribes were gone,the human race began to spread over the whole planet. Now,there are sixteen days left until the fourthousand years are expired. There are different signs indicating the approaching disaster. But this time,the humans prepare to take their fate in their own hand. Four people enter combat against the cruel god.

The prject begun with the somewhat 'dead' Transrelic. Ancient members of this group met up with Tiger Claw and Dark Lich to discuss forming an all new group, with translations of 3 Squaresoft games going on{ Live A Live, Rudra no Hihou and Treasure Hunter G}. They finally came up with 'Square's Translation', a group set out to tackle the very best of the untranslated Squaresoft RPG's. Chrono is now working on this super translation and we hope that this translation will be one of the best of Square’s Translation. ======================== 2.1 Chrono’s Statement ======================== -Font changes weren't really needed for Rudra. It already had a latin-letter font. I only had to insert some double characters for the fighting screen. Also,I moved the uppercase letters two lines up,in order to have them on the same level with the lowercase letters. -The rom won't be expanded at all. I located all the pointers and there's enough space at the end of the rom. -The menues are somehow compressed. -Also,the text in the prelude is somehow wired... -And the magic system. The letter insertion for the magic system has only place for 6. the english names are much longer than the japanese ones. I hope I can find a method for doing that. -Also,I'll write a .tbl file for the games. After that,I'll dumpa a script with this. -For now,most of the items and enemies are translated,I think. - I'm going to prefer the game text until the compressions are cracked. ======================================================================== 3.Project Staff ======================================================================== Here is a list of the current staff members of the Rudra’s Treasure translation project.
