This tool can be used for subtitles extraction of Shenmue HD games (both sh1 and sh2) from *.sub files, same as *.sub file update. These files stored in one of the "common" TAD/TAC archive, which can be extracted with ShenmueHDTools or similar utility.
Each language stored in separate .sub file. All dialog, notepad notes, game and system labels stored there, so this file is only one you should change to apply full texts localization. However, some labels stored as textures (like main menu icons - New Game, Continue etc.).
How to use:
I have no plans for future improvements, but if you have any requirements - feel free to share. Same as bug reports.
Font edit tool is not exists at the moment so that is my priority, you can check replies in this topic for additional information if you are interested.
Download ShenmueHDSubsRebuild v1.01:
Various utils (DC to PC subs translation export, voice dubs cutting script):
Make back-ups of your edits as often as possible. And thank you for making this game better!

If someone wish to extract translation from DC games quickly (piracy copy) I can provide instructions and modded tools, just PM me.

How to use:
- Extract content of the "common" package and find the *.sub file with the language you want to change
- Copy this file in separate folder
- Launch ShenmueHDSubsRebuild.exe
- Press SUB2CSV button and select your *.sub file, *.csv file will appear in same folder. If file already exists - you will see notification about that. Be sure that you will not lost your custom changes!
- *.csv file format is UTF-8, comma delimited, text in double quotes. You can use text editor (like Notepad++) or table processor (like Excel or Calc). Avoid using double quotation marks (") symbol.
- When you finished with changes, press CSV2SUB button, *.sub file with same name will be updated (or created).
- Copy updated *.sub file in the mods folder with proper hierarchy, or repack TAC/TAD files, or whatever mod installing method you are using.
- If text appear with mistakes or does not appear at all - some problem in *.csv structure exists. If some symbols appear as ? means game can read the symbol, but can't find it in the font set. You can try to check "Replace Missing Characters" option before conversion - it will replace missing characters with English letters in *.sub, while they stay untouched in the original *.csv file. That is temporary measure until fonts edit method is not found.
I have no plans for future improvements, but if you have any requirements - feel free to share. Same as bug reports.
