Requesting Help for Creating PSUJP Gameplay Guides

[NabsTheCracker]

Alrighty! Well after a little bit of confusion after I got home... Here's my reworked post.

First and foremost, I would like to mention...
To anyone interested in installing and playing on the PSU JP servers... The rumors are true, you can play for free, online!
Although! From what I understand you cannot:

Trade with other players, or pick up items they drop.
Use your Player Room, thus preventing you from accessing the Player Shops.
No Special Missions


Hope not be broken, you can do:

Hit Level 180, as well as Level your different specializations.
Do all standard missions in each area.
Communicate with others.
A full use of the given Menus (Mails, Chatting, Friending, Groups)


Without further delay:
Hello! Welcome to the Thread. Here I hope to have a layout of several guides for the JP PSU servers, including: Installing the game, creating an ID, paying for play time, Menus in-game, as well as whatever other miscellaneous things I may come across.
I created this thread originally as a question thread about a Program, PSUJP Translator v0.1, which, I now have a guide to downloading, as well as some expectations you should have for it when you download it.
However! After a bit of playing around, I discovered that a translator probably isn't going to happen! At least not an in-game translator. So, I decided, since there is no one solid place for all of your basic translated needs... I'd try to make one! For myself, and the players new to the JP Servers, or maybe who just don't fully understand exactly what they're doing.
And here we are.

Currently, I have guides for:
Installing the JP PSU Game
Creating a JP User ID
Installing PSUJP Translator v0.1

If you have anything you would like to add, or maybe you're not sure how to go about it... Or maybe you just have a question, or some criticism to offer! Post it here!

I hope to have here:
A text/image layout of what the JP Menus mean, as well as Mission Counters, locations, etc etc.

As far as item names, to the extent of my knowledge you will have to do a bit of looking yourself to find these.

0.1? lol so its 1/10th from being complete? D:

i wish someone would do this

[NabsTheCracker]

After posting those images in the original post, and messing around a bit with the program's capabilities (that I have figured out)...
I have noticed it can do the following:

Translate item names, though, for me it is having problems doing so.
Translate text said by someone, but not their name
Mail messages, though, I haven't tried this yet.


If anyone knows of any additional functions of the Program, or how to operate a function, please, say so!

I would also like to ask, does anyone (or would you be willing), to take Screenshots of the US Verison of PSU's Menus? I would be more than happy to make a layout of what each menu (to some extent, I can't do the entire game, at least not quickly) does, so that there is some reference for those of us who cannot reach Japanese.. or who just aren't too adapted to the game's layout.

I would like to apologize, however, if there is some sort of (which I'm sure there is), active on-the-floor training going on through Pso-world members/staff; while I am not trying to ignore what else is going on, I would like to have a formal guide laid out, so that others in the future may use it without having to rely on others, as well as so I could introduce someone to the game, without having to spend quite so much time explaining exactly what's what.

Once again, thanks in advance to anyone who posts with some constructive criticism or information!

You say it doesn't work well, but do you know if anyone has developed on the program at all, or if there were add-ons floating around the internet somewhere to make it function better?
It has been open for editing for a while now, has anyone from Pso-world picked it up and maybe buffered the program a little?

Ah well.

Nope i asked the same thing when i join about a year and a half ago and ha i found you muhahaha.....in Psu......

[pstargod]

To start: This post is a big lengthy due to pictures and explanations, asking about the PSUJP Translator v0.1

I yesterday heard about PSU being free over the Japanese SEGA servers, with limitations, so I decided to try it out.
Though, obviously, everything is in Japanese due to this, and I was looking for a translator, eventually coming across PSUJP Translator v0.1 (http://psujp.wordpress.com/psujptranslator/).
I installed the following items:
python-2.6.6
gtk-2.12.9-win32-2
pycairo-1.4.12-2.win32-py2.6
pygobject-2.14.2-2.win32-py2.6
pygtk-2.12.1-3.win32-py2.6

Then proceeded to use them in that order, as the instructions from PSUJP Translator v0.1 informed me to.
Although, after launching psujpt.py through Python, I have the Propt, and the PSUJP Translator v0.1 windows available, then I launch PSU.
Although, I have no translations, anywhere.

Am I doing something blatantly wrong? Or am I just missing something?

Thanks for the help in advance.

EDIT:
Well, it translates text from chat and when I pickup and item. Although, I would safely say it's not working well.

Screenshots of what I have managed to get out of the Program thus far;
http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/PSUJPTranslatorSS1.jpg?t=1295319321

^ No text in the above Screenshot (that is readable) was originally in Japanese, in any way shape or form. ^

http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/PSUJPTranslatorSS2.jpg?t=1295319337

http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/PSUJPTranslatorSS3.jpg?t=1295319906

Here is some successful translations, the text entered being the standard Shift+F1, Shift+F2, etc, "helpful phrases" text messages that are macro'd.

I would also like to mention, I really haven't much of any idea what I'm doing, as far as what this translator, or others are capable of. So any information would be of great help.

i cant even download the translator can you upload your copy or something?

[XbikXBd]

i cant even download the translator can you upload your copy or something?

No just no that program sucks lol he is working on a photo guide.

[NabsTheCracker]

i cant even download the translator can you upload your copy or something?

Installing PSUJP Translator v0.1 (not needed)
Here's a guide, to contribute to the cause~.

This first guide is for a, somewhat mediocre, translator for Chat in-game for PSU. At the moment the ability for it to translate other things is broken, but I will try to find a way, or person who can, fix up the program so that it will translate more.
Keep in mind, Menus and Voices will not be able to be translated, since they work a bit differently. I plan to work up some Menu Image Guides in the near future.

Images of the translator:
Kanji to English translation of the "Helpful Phrases" Macro'd into the standard game for players.

What the Program will attempt to do when translating item names
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/PSUJPTranslatorSS2.jpg?t=1295342464[/SPOILER-BOX]

Download these in order, and then install them in the order you downloaded them (or one at a time if you want):

1:
PSUJP Translator v0.1
http://psupedia.info/~essen/psujpt/
This will give you a .zip file

psujpt-0.1.zip (this is what you unzip)


which you will unzip and get these files:

psujptcfg
psujpt
INSTALL.txt (these are instructors, similar to what I am telling you here)

I don't remember the extentions to those other 2 files.

2:
Python 2.6.2:
From: http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.6/
I downloaded Windows x86 MSI Installer (2.6.6) (sig), when you click it, it will star the download for:

python-2.6.6.msi


3:
GTK+ Runtime:
From: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gladewin32/files/gtk%2B-win32-runtime/2.12.9/gtk-2.12.9-win32-2.exe/download
As soon as you open this page it will begin the download for:

gtk-2.12.9-win32-2.exe


4.
PyCairo:
From: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pycairo/1.4/
I downloaded pycairo-1.4.12-2.win32-py2.6.exe
As soon as you click the file name, it will begin the download for:

pycairo-1.4.12-2.win32-py2.6.exe


5.
PyGObject:
From: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pygobject/2.14/
I downloaded pygobject-2.14.2-2.win32-py2.6.exe
As soon as you click the file name, it will begin the download for:

pygobject-2.14.2-2.win32-py2.6.exe


6.
PyGTK:
From: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pygtk/2.12/
I downloaded pygtk-2.12.1-3.win32-py2.6.exe
As soon as you click the file name, it will begin the download for:

pygtk-2.12.1-3.win32-py2.6.exe


Once you have all of these, or if you want to do it as soon as you get each one, either way, be sure to install it (by double clicking it and running the install wizard for each one. All you have to basically do is hit next over and over.)

After that, Open psujptcfg.py in a text editor like notepad (note: NOT MS Word!) and change the line 9 to the path to the log files you want to monitor

You can do this step by finding your psujptcfg file where ever you saved the first file you downloaded and unzipped. Then you right click it, and select Open With, and open it with Note Pad.

The 9th line in the file should look something like this:
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/Pathway.jpg?t=1295339910[/SPOILER-BOX]

If you're having trouble finding you SEGA Folder, you should be able to find it this way...
Start -> Documents -> SEGA -> PHANTASY STAR UNIVERSE Illuminus -> LOG
Within the LOG folder, there should already be a few .txt files you can open in Notepad. Right-click one of those and choose properties, and on the General Tab's page, you should see something like "D:\Users\Nabs\Documents\SEGA\PHANTASY STAR UNIVERSE Illuminus\LOG".
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/Log.jpg?t=1295340029[/SPOILER-BOX]

You can copy-paste that by starting on the left side and pulling your mouse all the way to the right, and pasting that onto the 9th line of your psujptcfg file.
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/LogProperties.jpg?t=1295340041[/SPOILER-BOX]

After that, just run your psujpt file by right-clicking it and choosing "Open with python."

Installing the Japanese Version of Phantasy Star Universe: Ambition of the Illuminus (required)

Before this Guide, I would like to mention, you may download, and play this game for free, while having it be legal! SEGA themselves put the Links on their site, as well as allow you to use their servers... With some downsides.
You cannot do the following:

Use your Player Room
Trade with other Players
Pick up items dropping by other Players
Do special Quests

If I missed anything, please inform me, for the sake of others using this guide!

If a text/image based guide isn't for you, check out cristfc's Thread showing a YouTube video of the same process.
http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=176829

This Game Client was downloaded, and Screenshotted via Windows XP Media Center Edition. Though I have also installed the game on Windows Vista Home, and Windows 7. If you have any other problems using a different operating system, I may not be able to help you. Regardless, please ask! I will try my best.

Downloading the Game Client (Free):

1: Finding the game files.
You can find these at http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/download/psuilluminus/httpdownload/
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/DL1.jpg?t=1295348241[/SPOILER-BOX]
At the bottom of the page, there will be four links, you will need to download all four of theses. They will consist of:

setup.exe （503KB）
setup-1a.bin （2,050,285KB）
setup-1b.bin （2,050,782KB）
setup-2a.bin （1,245,877KB）

Once all four are downloaded, run setup.exe

Note: The middle button, in the bottom right, will be your next button for this install Wizard.

You will see this window:
[SPOILER-BOX]]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/1.jpg?t=1295348530[/SPOILER-BOX]
Then this, which is just a Terms of Agreement message. Click the top check-circle, basically saying "Yes, I have read this."
[SPOILER-BOX]]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/2.jpg?t=1295348691[/SPOILER-BOX]
Next is this window, which is asking you where you want to save the files.
[SPOILER-BOX]]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/3.jpg?t=1295348692[/SPOILER-BOX]
And again.
[SPOILER-BOX]]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/4.jpg?t=1295348693[/SPOILER-BOX]
Being as I'm not a master of Japanese, I just assume this one is asking if you would like to make a shortcut on your desktop.
[SPOILER-BOX]]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/5.jpg?t=1295348694[/SPOILER-BOX]
Another "click the next button" screen
[SPOILER-BOX]]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/6.jpg?t=1295348696[/SPOILER-BOX]
Then it will begin installing
[SPOILER-BOX]]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/7.jpg?t=1295348851[/SPOILER-BOX]
After installing, you will most likely be asked to install an older version of DirectX, this is required to play. So go through this install Wizard.
It's in English, so it should be self-explanatory.

After that you should be given a "Finish" type window on the installer for PSU:
[SPOILER-BOX]]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/8.jpg?t=1295348845[/SPOILER-BOX]
Then another window to hit next on.
[SPOILER-BOX]]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/9.jpg?t=1295348846[/SPOILER-BOX]
Then you're good to go!
Hope this guide helped, if you're having any trouble, let me know!

Signing up for a PSU ID (required)

1. Go to: https://ipas.isao.net/signup_psu/psu/dcws_disp3.cgi?template=mail_input.htm&siteno=
Here, the two boxes are basically just asking for you to insert your Email Address twice, the green button being "Submit."
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/SignUp1.jpg?t=1295349716[/SPOILER-BOX]

2. This next page will basically telling you what it should say in the email you recieve.
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/SignUp2.jpg?t=1295349701[/SPOILER-BOX]

You will want to click the link under "【登録情報入力ページ】" in your Email
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/SignUp3.jpg?t=1295349706[/SPOILER-BOX]

Which will take you to this page, which is where you enter you information such as a name, ID, Male/Female, etc.
You can just Copy-paste their "Example info" like I did, or you can enter your own... Keep in mind, I'm not entirely sure what it actually says.
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/SignUp4.jpg?t=1295349707[/SPOILER-BOX]

Then you get a confirm your information screen
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/SignUp5.jpg?t=1295349708[/SPOILER-BOX]

Then you will get another window, giving you download links if you did not already download the game.
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/SignUp6.jpg?t=1295349711[/SPOILER-BOX]

At this time you need to check your E-Mail Inbox again for a second E-mail, containing your ID and Password to login.
(I blocked the letters between the first and last characters of the password so you can't take this account, sorry~)
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/SignUp7.jpg?t=1295349713[/SPOILER-BOX]

Now you're set to log in!

Although, if you're unsure how to do that, here's a quick guide! (Assuming you have the game installed, if you don't, check the post above this)
Open PSU, and you should get this Menu:
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/Login1.jpg?t=1295350036[/SPOILER-BOX]

Choose the second option
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/Login2.jpg?t=1295350036[/SPOILER-BOX]

Then once you get to the "Hit Enter" screen, obviously hit enter.
Then choose the middle option:
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/Login3.jpg?t=1295350037[/SPOILER-BOX]

Now here is where you use the ID / Password you were E-mailed, in the second E-mail. You can't copy&paste, so have it memorized or have a way to see it while on the log-in screen.
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/Login4.jpg?t=1295350038[/SPOILER-BOX]

Then just hit enter until you are here:
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/NabsTheCracker/Login5.jpg?t=1295350039[/SPOILER-BOX]

Then create your character, and enjoy!

I hate to be the bringer of bad news but I can't really get things off the ground without any real ability to translate.
Is anyone willing to provide English Screencaps of the game menus, for translations?
Or maybe you know the language well, and could translate the menus directly?

It says you need a zip code, but im from Canada would putting in my Postal-Code also work? Cause usually it doesn't work for anything to do with zip.
