Text Extractor & Injector

PGMMV Text Extractor/Injector Guide

This tool simplifies the localization process of your PGMMV game projects, allowing quick extraction and injection of text for translation.

Extract Text to CSV

1. Upload project.json: Use "Extract project.json texts to CSV" to select and upload your game's project.json.

2. Download CSV: Click "Download CSV" after uploading. Your texts are now in a CSV for easy editing.

Inject Localized Text

1. Ensure PGMMV Editor is Closed: Close the PGMMV editor to avoid conflicts.

2. Upload Files: Upload your localized CSV first, then the project.json file.

3. Inject and Download: Click "Inject CSV and Download" to receive a new project.json with localized texts.

Important Notes

• Backup Project: Just incase something goes wrong!
• Editor Closed: Ensure the PGMMV editor isn't running during injection.
• Replace Original File: Replace the original project.json in your project's /project/data/ directory with the downloaded file.
• Don't Change IDs: Modifying IDs in the CSV can lead to issues.
• Ideal Use: Use this tool for localizing texts added through the PGMMV editor when you are finished with your game.

When you extract your project.json into an CSV, there are 3 things you need to consider if you are editing from the CSV before you inject it back in:

1. \\ = \ meaning if you want to add a \ you must put it as \\
2. "" = " meaning if you want to add a " you must put it as ""
3. If you want line spaces, they must be put in as \n

If you don't follow those rules above, your injection will ruin your project.json. Sorry, these are hard set rules the project.json has to follow for the PGM editor to read things correctly, there is nothing I can do about. This injector was more for taking actual texts and only translating them and filling out the rest of the languages, however you can edit as you please from the CSV if you so desire. Just follow those 3 rules!
