- Rance Quest Magnum 2.050 Partial Interface Translation Patch - July 5th, 2012 Version
- What's included in this patch?
- 1. ランス・クエスト.ain - Contains almost all dialogue, text, names, events, etc. in the game.
- 2. ランス・クエストAFF.afa - Contains animations with filenames translated by the above file. Without this, animations will not play.
- 3. ランス・クエスト追加CG.afa - Contains CG for the 2.05 update. NOTE: You do not need this for a fresh install, ONLY if you are upgrading from a previous version such as 2.01. If you ran the 2.05 updater before you looked for this patch, you don't need to add this file since you already have it.
- 4. Version.txt - A text file that determines the version number of your game. It's included for completeness, but you don't really need it.
- What's translated so far?
- Quest Names and almost all descriptions.
- Skills (some were skipped since they aren't in the game)
- Almost all quests and dialogue. Some is translated here and there.
- **If you haven't already, install the Magnum/2.01 patches first.**
- 1. Download this archive and extract it some where: http://www.mediafire.com/?4qjgc34t0cc6xqd
- 2. Open up your Rance Quest install folder, located at C:Program FilesAliceSoftRanceQuest.
- 3. BACK UP YOUR CURRENT ランス・クエスト.ain FILE. This is in case anything goes wrong somehow.
- 4. Navigate to C:Documents and SettingsHP_AdministratorMy DocumentsAliceSoftランス・クエスト and back up the 'SaveData' folder. This is in case anything goes wrong somehow. You don't need to do this if you haven't played the game yet.
- 5. Take the new ランス・クエスト.ain file and move it into your install directory. It should not overwrite anything since you backed up the old one.
- 6. Move the other files into the same folder. You should now have all of the files in the install directory.

- From the old patch link:
- > Rance Quest is pretty forgiving. It saves after every quest. You can redo anything and >change the outcome so don't worry about screwing anything up. This means you can play the >game now if you want and go back to see something new translated at any time. You can reset >skills later using a purchased item, and almost all characters will be 'reincarnated' and >have them reset once anyway. There are also a ridiculous amount of characters so you can >experiment with different set ups.
- > Quests give you points which increase your charisma level, which is shown at the bottom >beside your gold. You can change members in dungeons as many times as you have charisma.
- > Items are found in chests. Red chests are trapped, yellow aren't. Rangers (ninja) have a >skill to bypass the trap. Items are kept separate until you complete the quest or use the
- >green escape exit. Then you can pay to identify anything that isn't. Identified items you >keep, rest you lose. Red tinted unidentified items are rare.
- If all else fails, ask Rance General.
- Credit for 99% of this patch goes to the original patch maker, who remains anonymous. All I did was edit some things and make it compatible. The old pastebin can be found here.
