Hello,
Im sorry if I made double topic. I asking like novice. Me and other people would like make translation for this game, unofficial ofc. My question is. How to find and extract text from the game. Many thanks for any advice.
The text files for the game can be found in the Sunless Sea game directory:
- Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\SunlessSea or C:\Program Files (x86)\Sunless Sea[/li][li]Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Failbetter Games.Sunless Sea/
Various categories of game data are inside in different folders, all in JSON text files. Each file has two different instances, for example Tutorials.json and Tutorials_import.json - the first is much longer with lots of spare formatting, and the second is the the trimmed file the game actually uses. The major files text-wise are tutorials (various mechanic explanations), areas (port descriptions), events (storylets), exchanges (store descriptions), qualities (items, accomplishments, qualities, officers, etc), and tiles (logbook descriptions).
Many of the JSON files don’t have line-breaks so you may want to use an editor to format them more legibly, such as this online one. Hope all that helps!
Many thanks, May I ask you which program can unpack files from the game? Or if you have this files or their location I will be very grateful )
The game data files are all JSON files, which is a type of data storage file used by some Javascript. Though the formatting can be difficult to read, any text editor can read them as they are plaintext files, and some JSON-specific editors such as the one I linked above can format them more nicely.
