Using textractor with Gamemaker games #1084

Open doctorhibert opened 1 year ago

doctorhibert commented 1 year ago

I've been having an extremely bad time trying to hook VA-11 HALL-A. I don't know if it's gamemaker or just the way the game is programmed, but I haven't been able to find a single reliable hook for the game.

Even after using the "search for hooks" function and pasting one of the script's lines, I can't find one that works consistently. I can find one showing the current text, and maybe the next, but it seems to change every 2 or 3 dialogue boxes, maybe there's one hook per character, or something.

I looked online, but I haven't been able to find a hook code. Does anyone have any idea where to get one, or some other way to hook the game?

Get the updated version of texthook.dll in Alpha build archive #868 With GameMaker hook use the Regex Filter extension .+\] or Regex Replacer extension |REGEX|.+\]|BECOMES||MODIFIER||END|

Now it can hook onto the game, but It puts out gibberish like this, even after switching my system locale to english and trying both the regex filter and regex replacer: image Sorry about not replying earlier, I just realized I even got a reply in the first place.
