I’m looking for a translator for FFIV/FFIV: Easy Type (yes, this does imply that you’d work on both games. However, I doubt that the scripts would be very different, in fact, FFIV would likely be exactly the same as FFIV:ET, just with some things deleted).

Thus far, I’ve got these hacks done:

• Classes and Character Names hacked in every possible menu. Classes expanded to allow full class names (with “Dragon Knight” being the longest)
• Main Menu fully hacked and operational.
• Status Menu and Equip menu hacked to the best current possibility.
• Magic Menu hacked to allow for 8 character spell names (and with the inclusion of squishy tiles, I can fit the “Blizzard” family of spell names in, and I’m one space away from the “Thunder” family).
• Item Names hacked to allow for 11 characters (and possibly more, if I hack the menus to allow for space, or implement a VWF) per item
• All encountered pointer systems retooled and hacked for script use. Partial intro translation inserted and fully functional
• All basic battle funtions translated, but not hacked.

I need to:

• Hack the Item, Config, and Save menus
• Fix the item shop up a bit (adding proper text and fixing the bug, basically)
• Hack the Namingway sequence
• Hack the hell out of the battle system (to allow for longer battle command names, monster names, item names and spell names [both in battle and in the menus themselves])
• Get a fully translated script, and insert it
• Possibly do a VWF hack

As you can see, I’ve got alot done, but there’s still some major ASM mods needed before it’s ready. However, I could easily insert a translated script whenever I am given one.

Contact me either by email (DarknessSavior@gmail.com), AIM (RazielDarkheart), or PM me on the RHDN forums if you’re interested. Interested persons will receive a script snippet to translate, and if the resulted translation is satisfactory, you will likely be offered the position of translator on the project.

Thank you very much,
