A Nightmare on Elm Street

Not to other blocks but to FAT pointers to all other blocks.

If you'll add 10 bytes to second block, then you need to increase FAT pointers:
Start of third block: 03C4h+0Ah
Start of ...: 08ECh+0Ah
...

 

I explained myself badly, sorry. I was thinking +10 to pointers and not 10 bytes to blocks.
03 C4 + A(10) = 03 CE
08 EC + A(10) = 08 F6
0D 86 + A(10) = 0D 90
...

You have patience.
I have work now. I thank you very much for your help and especially your patience.

I think I understood this time. The twelve pointers at beginning of the LEVELS.BIN file are the texts blocks pointers.
And each block of texts has its own pointers for the sentences.

 

Hi,
I finished "DREAM.EXE and LEVELS.BIN" files. Thank you very much for your help.
But, I did not find these words:
ON LEVEL
POWR
SOUL
RESCUED
Why?
I found the first names in DREAM.EXE file. I searched through all the files and could not find those words.
Is it graphic images (view)?

 

Yes, PLAYFLD.CMP. Packed with some sort of RLE compression.
This screenshot displays memory dump taken with DOSBox debugger after game unpacks the file.
Decompression code is located at seg000:213A.

 

Hi,

Is it possible to translate these words?
ON LEVEL--> NIVEAU
POWR--> FOR.
SOUL--> AME
RESCUED--> LIBRE
If yes, how do we do it, please?

 

I believe the problem will be solved. A frend who likes graphics, helps me. I keep you informed.
I thank you very much for your help.

 

Now I can compress file if you or your friend will redraw messages in it.
Here is the decompressed file. It is 320*200 with 4 bits per pixel.

 

Hi,

My "friend" managed to extract the images from the game:
DREAM 10

The Playfld.cmp file had part of the words missing. The other words were in the Item.cmp file.


The game is 100% in French now.
I thank you very much for your help.

 

Hi,

Here are all the files translated into French:
Off_rus

There is no longer a problem for the person who wants to translate this game.

I thank you for your help,

Good day.

 

Great! Glad to see that this project was successfully finished.

But why are you omited yourself from credits? I see:

"Nocturne" - it is the person you were helping to
"Nyergud" - creator of the font and graphics tool
me - Provided some technical info

Where is "hrvg54"?

 

It was not my project. I was only helping...
I like to help, but in the shadows.
It allows me to "get to know" people like you.
My pleasure is to see a project succeed.

For me, it is you and Nyergud who are the most important people in this translation.

And I thank you for your help and especially your patience.

Hi,

I would like to translate this game: Don't go alone.
I tried with IDA and UNP for pointers... It works too.

But, I have two problems:
1) I do not know how to find the fonts to add the French letters.
2) There is very little free space (bytes). And I do not know if we can enlarge "Alone.exe" file? I added 40 bytes at the end of these file. Game did not crash... But IDA did not take into account the word I had added at the end of these "Alone.exe" file.
Game:
DontGo

I opened a post for this game:
"Don't go alone", Translation in French

 

Error, sorry.
