			<description><p>Thanks for the translation file.  I'll dig out my copy of Robbox and add the files to my copy.  Personally I never bother if the english is poor, all i'm bothered about is the game play and sometimes (depending upon the game) the graphics.</p>
<p>Realore have been one of (if not) the biggest contributors to the game giveaway project.</p>
<p>Regards</p>

			<description><p>First off, Robbox is a great game. It's quite fun and somewhat challenging. However, it has some problems. The biggest problem with it is the English translations. If you Google up Robbox and look at some of the reviews, most of them state that the English in the game is awful. That prompted me to take action, as it bugs me that people pass up such a good game because of the translations and miss out on the rest of the game. So, I have taken the liberty to edit the translation files (located under Data\Docs in the installation folder) so that the English mistakes are fixed and some general text improvements added.</p>
<p>Download here: <a href="http://links.giveawayoftheday.com/mediafire.com/%3Fjmd0n0mkjmd">http://www.mediafire.com/?jmd0n0mkjmd</a></p>
<p>Installation Instructions:<br />
(If you don't have Robbox, please get a copy from Realore's site.)<br />
Vista with UAC on (In-place update):<br />
1. Make sure that you have already run the game once.<br />
2. Browse to C:\Users\&#60;your username here&#62;\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Realore\Robbox\Data.<br />
3. Extract the Docs folder in the zip file here, so that you have a Docs folder under the Data folder.<br />
4. You're done. Test out the new translations by running Robbox.<br />
* If you want to make the change multi-user (or don't have UAC on), follow the XP instructions.</p>
<p>XP (and similar):<br />
1. Back up your C:\Program Files\Realore\Robbox\Data\Docs folder first, by making a copy of the Docs folder.<br />
2. Overwrite the Docs folder with the one in the zip file.<br />
3. You're done. Test out the new translations by running Robbox.</p>
<p>Please test out the new translations so that there aren't any mistakes. If there are, please post here and I will make adjustments. when everything's good, I'll contact Realore and submit the new translations to them so that they can apply it in their current version. It's GGAOTD helping the developer, big time. (Maybe they'll in return give us some of their games, we'll see.)</p>
<p>List of text files<br />
data2.rob - Game config and string table; see below<br />
hints2.txt - In-game hints (green question marks)<br />
Intro2.txt - Pre-game intro (available when starting a new game from a new profile)<br />
mess2.txt - Some messages, mostly help text<br />
runstring2.rob - In-game LCD screen scrolling text; see below<br />
tips2.txt - Level loading hints<br />
tool2.txt - Button tooltips</p>
<p>How to report corrections<br />
Name the file the mistake is in, name the string number (either something like $01 or #002), and a snippet of the sentence that should be corrected. Then, write what it should be corrected to.</p>
<p>Notes for data2.rob and runstring2.rob:<br />
In Robbox, files ending with .rob are XOR encrypted, to prevent people from changing stuff and messing up the game. However, I have figured out the key used to encrypt them, decrypted the files, made changes (which works), reencrypted them, and placed them in this package. A link below is the unencrypted version of the file, for easier reporting. If you're interested in making your own changes and trying them out, use the XOR Tool <a href="http://links.giveawayoftheday.com/softpedia.com/get%2FProgramming%2FOther-Programming-Files%2FXor.shtml">here</a>. The key is 0x21 (that is, the hex number 21, the decimal number 33, the ASCII character "!"), and it works for both encrypting and decrypting.<br />
The unencrypted versions of data2.rob and runstring2.rob is here: <a href="http://links.giveawayoftheday.com/mediafire.com/%3Fwgnjzznyzzm">http://www.mediafire.com/?wgnjzznyzzm</a></p>
<p>How to encrypt/decrypt .rob files<br />
Download the XOR Tool above, unzip it, and open a command prompt there. Copy the .rob files that you want to decrypt. Enter "xor (space)", .rob filename (such as data2.rob), a space, output filename (such as data2.txt), a space, and encryption key (such as 0x21). So what you would have would look like this:<br />
<code>xor data2.rob data2.txt 0x21</code><br />
You can then open up your decrypted file and make changes. To encrypt, just do the reverse:<br />
<code>xor data2.txt data2.rob 0x21</code><br />
This will encrypt the file so that Robbox can read it.</p>
<p>*****Thank you for helping me help you help us all!******</p>
