Text

"TextTree" could be renamed to LanguageTree, is more intuitive, the point is every entry here is the "parent" of several string texts, but the entry itself is not a text (is the parent of a group of texts), so is better to use a name more abstract like "LanguageTree"

For a Language first are specified the language_id and the number of "children" text strings

Offset	Length	Name	Example	Notes
0x00	0x02	language_id		0x00=Japanese 0x01=English (United States) 0x02=French 0x03=Spanish (Spain) 0x04=German 0x05=Italian 0x06=Dutch 0x07=Portuguese (Portugal) 0x08=Russian 0x09=Korean 0x0A=Chinese (Traditional) 0x0B=Chinese (Simplified) 0x0C=Finnish 0x0D=Swedish 0x0E=Danish 0x0F=Norwegian 0x10=Polish 0x11=Portuguese (Brazil) 0x12=English (United Kingdom) 0x13=Turkish
0x02	0x02	character_encoding		Works as a replacement of the BOM 0x00=UTF8 0x01=UTF16 0x02=UTF32
0x04	0x04	strings_number		number of text strings for this language_id

Now for every strings_number are repeated 12 bytes to define every string that are references to other tables

Offset	Length	Name	Example	Notes
0x00	0x04	label_offset		Offset to label, relative of the label table
0x04	0x04	string_length		Length of the text
0x08	0x04	string_offset		Offset of the text, relative to the text data start address

Language Modifications

All modifications made to the <language>.xml files extracted from RCO's with rcomage belongs to this category

How to add custom texts

Rebug package manager example goes here

Photosensitive epilepsy text removal/replacement

Epilepsy Warning screen

Text is located in all <language.xml> files inside sysconf_plugin.rco

It can be blanked (replaced by nothing), or replaced by any other custom text and ASCII art

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- This XML was generated by Rcomage v1.1.2 -->
<TextLang>
	.
	..
	...
	<Text name="msg_health_warning_start_scee">PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY
IF YOU HAVE A HISTORY OF EPILEPSY OR SEIZURES, CONSULT A DOCTOR BEFORE USE. CERTAIN PATTERNS MAY TRIGGER SEIZURES WITH NO PRIOR HISTORY. BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT, CAREFULLY READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL.</Text>

</TextLang>

• Notes
  • To make accurate texts that fits to the screen is needed to know the number of characters in width, and number of lines in height (for every TV resolution mode ?)
  • Some experiments with ASCII art http://www.ps3hax.net/2013/04/tutorial-how-to-edit-ps3-epilepsy-warning-on-cfw/
  • VSH.self is responsible for loading the epilepsy warning screen. To disable it completely use this patch

Adding custom language packs

• PS3MFW_Builder::PSheb_project. Info about the PSheb project needs to be improved, splitted and moved to several wiki pages:
  • Info about .xml modifications moved to Languages page
  • Info about .tcl "language pack" task stays in PS3MFW Builder page
  • Info about replacing or adding characters/glyphs in the official .ttf fonts moved to XMB Fonts page
