VPet-Simulator: How to Create Your Own Translation

First of all, sorry for my English, it’s not my native language.

• What is this guide about?

  I will show you what you have to edit in the game so you can have custom texts. You will be able to change the description of the food, the name of the statistics, of the activities, what your friends will see on Steam while you play…

• I don’t know anything about programming 🙁

  You don’t need to know programming. You only have to open the documents that I will tell you in the guide, see the line of text that I indicate and change the text that you want.

  To understand the guide:

  Base2306.lps ▶️ Line 216

  [Document you must open] ▶️ [The line you should edit]
  Where it says “Feed” put “Shop” or “Store”. You would see this example like this:

• What folder is it in?

  You can access the document in two ways:
  – In “This PC” go to Local Disk (C:) > Program Files (x86) > Steam > steamapps > common > VPet.
  – In Steam, right click on the VPet game > Manage > View local files. The VPet folder will have been opened.

  Once here, follow this path > mod > 0000_core > lang > en to edit the base game texts, or read below if you already have a mod that translates to your language (but want to edit/customize it).

• What program do I open the document with?

  Open the documents in the program Notepad++, Brackets or in Notepad that you will have by default on your computer. In all those programs you can see the line number of each sentence on the left side of the window or at the bottom. The line number is what I will use throughout the guide to mark the Lolis phrases for you.

• There is already a mod with my language but I want to edit it, how do I do it?

  Go to “This PC” go to Local Disk (C:) > Program Files (x86) > Steam > steamapps > workshop > content > 1920960 > (your language mod folder) > lang > (code of your language). In this folder you will have all the files that I mention in this guide, the lines that you must edit are the same.

• I have mods that add jobs, games or meals and their name appears in Chinese, how can I edit it?

  To edit the texts of the workshop articles, access the Disco local (C:) > Program Files (x86) > Steam > steamapps > workshop > content > 1920960 > (mod folder) > pet > vup.lps
  
  For example, the 白い約束[Linger]‘s mod 原版动画扩展-原神启动！ it is among the most popular. This mod adds the action of lying on a bean bag while looking at the phone, but it is named in Chinese. Once subscribed to the mod, access its folder on the Local Disk (C:) > Program Files (x86) > Steam > steamapps > workshop > content > 1920960 > 3023184003 > pet > vup.lps. Once there, edit in the second line after where it says “Name#” put what you want the action to be called. For example “Name#Chat”, so in Steam “Lolis Chat Happy” will appear.

• I want to change a single word in the whole game

  You can, for example, replace Lolis calling you “master” with “sensei”, your name or whatever you want. I’ll use this example to tell you how to do it (with the docs already open):

  In Notepad, click Edit > Replace… In Search type “master” and in Replace with type “sensei”. Also, turn on Auto Fit and tap Replace All. You will need to do this on each document.

  In Notepad++, press Find > Replace… In Search type “master” and in Replace with type “sensei”. Press Replace All or Replace on all open files (previously have all VPet documents open).

  In Brakets, click Search > Replace or Replace in Files, and fill in the bar that will have appeared at the top of the document.

• Tips

  The lines should look like this 缩放等级#Zoom level😐
  Be careful to not erase these symbols # : |

  Always remember to save any changes you make to documents before closing them.

  The changes will not take effect until you restart the VPet game.

  Put \r if you want to put a line break in some sentence.

  To edit the mods documents you must first subscribe to them.

  If you can’t find in this guide a line that the author of VPet has just added, it will be in the document Prog2308.lps. There all new lines of dialogue / phrases / words are added.

• Panel 🌏 面板
  Base2306.lps ▶️ Line 210 to Line 217

  Panel of the pet’s parameters, such as hunger, experience…

  Base2306.lps ▶️ Line 218 to Line 222

  On line 219 there is “Learn”, if you edit it it will change both in the Interactions submenu and in the Learn submenu itself.

  Prog2308.lps ▶️ Line 3 to Line 5

• Random dialogues
  Base2306.lps ▶️ Line 2 to Line 12

  They are quite useless phrases like, for example, “You know? With right click you can open the menu.” You can write whatever you want and Lolis will eventually say it.

• Triggered dialogues
  Text2307.lps ▶️ Line 1 to Line 24

  Lolis will say these phrases when she is hungry.

  Text2307.lps ▶️ Line 25 to Line 46

  Lolis will say these phrases when she is thirsty.

  Text2308.lps

  The entire document is made up of phrases that it will say if you touch it when it studies, does one of the jobs or broadcasts live. There are 146 different phrases to customize.

  Text2309.lps

  They are dialogues between you and Lolis that you can start with her by starting the VPet chat. In these lines you can customize both your questions and their answers.

• Charging screen

  

  Base2308.lps ▶️ Line 10 to Line 12

  When loading VPet, these phrases will appear in a blue box, but it will go from one to another very quickly. The ones you have time to read are lines 11 and 12.

• System information

  Base2306.lps ▶️ Line 298 to Line 302
  Base2308.lps ▶️ Line 30 to Line 37

  They are phrases that will inform you of Lolis’ status (for example that she is sick or does not have enough level for x activity), phrases about ChatGPT, about failures in opening mods, etc.
  In line 299 and 300 I recommend adding a colon and a space “: ” so that it can be read better as in the second image.

• More information about the system
  CGPT2308.lps

  This entire document is of sentences about errors, updates, tokens, etc of ChatGPT.

  Prog2307.lps

  This entire document is system messages. I am going to point out some relevant lines here:

  Prog2307.lps ▶️ Line 1 to Line 7

  Touching her head reports that she loses energy and gains mood, reports when she has finished an activity about how much experience or money she has earned and how long it took him, the description of the task while doing it (remaining time, accumulated money…), etc.

  Prog2307.lps ▶️ Line 27 to Line 29

  Some phrases about starting and configuring the VPet chat.

  Prog2307.lps ▶️ Line 58 to Line 59

  Checks whether to exit the game or whether to restart it.

• Info for Steam
  Base2308.lps ▶️ Line 26 to Line 29

  When you play VPet, your profile will show the status:
  [name of your pet]
  + [activity it is doing]
  + [mood]
  In these lines you can edit the mood.

• Food

  Enter in “My PC” > Local Disk (C:) > Program Files (x86) > Steam > steamapps > common > VPet > mod > 0000_core > image > food.
  There you have all the food images in .png format, so you can edit them in Adobe Photoshop and customize them. Remember to save them in .png format.
  

• Lolis

  Enter in “My PC” > Local Disk (C:) > Program Files (x86) > Steam > steamapps > common > VPet > cache.
  There you have all the images of each action that Lolis does in .png format.
  You can use them to change the color of her hair, her eyes, or even add elements (but be patient because there are more than 300 files in which Lolis is repeated up to twenty-some times).

  In case it helps you, I have used it to clear an error from the action of playing video games (it has an orange stripe in the upper left corner that should not be there) in the images 500_-2706105073273982419_8.png, 500_3191017398895222380_15.png, 500_-3861852189110773805_8.png, 500_-5968274225653914180_8.png, 500_7386235638289352396_15.png, 500_-8239142015298320943_15.png.

• Configuration window

  You can change the width by editing the numerical value of this line:

  Base2306.lps ▶️ Line 462

  If you increase the number, the width of the window will increase and vice versa.

I have not found the following phrases in the documents, so they will remain in Chinese:

In the shop

In the food parameters this will sometimes appear:
恢复 which means “Recover / Recovery”.

It will only appear if you have made Lolis eat that food very regularly.

In the system menu:

In the Feedback example:
详细描述 which means “A detailed description”.
