The future is now. Note that merge_spm2 will search for SPM by signature, so you can run it against resources.assets or the subresource containing them.

I’m surprised a serious game engine would be so wasteful... Anyway, I didn’t feel like parsing out the complete heirarchy of useless junk so I just did some ghetto extraction of graphic data.

Anki implements a smart Spaced Repetition approach that tracks performance over multiple days and paces introduction of new cards. Words in this deck are scheduled based on usage frequency in the games and contain sample usages drawn from the script (please don’t sue me). The idea is to provide study material that is immediately useful for something you (well, I ...) actually care about, rather than typical useless vocabulary about business and travel. The sample sentences provide an opportunity to recall in context, which I find accelerates learning. I’m interested in feedback; let me know if you try this. I plan to produce more decks in the future, but may not clean them up for release unless it seems people are finding it useful. Update 2012/01/19: see the EDICT documentation for details about markers in the definitions. For example, the (P) marker indicates more common usages. tox2deck.zip (Tales of Xillia 2 frequency deck) Technical details... This deck was produced using both Tales of Xillia 1 & 2. I wrote tools to extract game data and convert the scripts. Then I used mecab to analyze the sentence structure and extract root words . With that, I counted the frequency of each word to prioritize them. Definitions were extracted from the excellent EDICT . Selecting sample sentences was a little complicated. I wanted to pick sentences long enough to mean something, but not be full of unknown words. The priority policy I settled on was to sum the frequency of all words and divide by the word count. i.e., try to bias towards sentences with common words. This works reasonably well, but I’m not extremely happy with the results. There’s room to improve in this area. While mostly automatic, the results were not completely perfect. I manually deleted some junk which got included due to various parsing quirks. I have also been cleaning up problems with individual cards as I see them. The most common complaint I have is with made-up game words which were parsed into individual kanji. Overall, I’m pretty happy with it though. I plan to publish revisions with further cleanup in the future. 2012/12/29 / toxtweak The giant minimap in Tales of Xillia 2 drives me crazy; I can’t stop staring at it all the time. So finally I had to do something about it ... This bit of junk patches the game to disable various overlays. I tested with ToX2, but I think it will also work for ToX1. Let me know if you try it. disable_minimap.txt: Disable the annoying minimap! disable_chapter_label.txt: Disable the annoying Main Chapter / Character Episode label. disable_bonus_label.txt: Disable the annoying Bonus Scene label during event scenes. (Haven’t tested this yet...) disable_all.txt: All of the above. enable_all.txt: Enables everything (back to default). If the game is already installed, remember to replace TLFILE.TLDAT in /dev_hdd0/game/BLJS10188_INSTALL/USRDIR. toxtweak.zip Contents: // toxtweak.cpp, v1.0 2012/12/29 // This tool tweaks data in Tales of Xillia & Tales of Xillia 2 to disable // the annoying minimap and other overlays.
