Setup: Textractor

1. Open the Textractor folder > x86 > Textractor

   • 99% of the time x86 is better
   • You can also create a shortcut or pin it to your taskbar

   

2. Open Textractor app and check Extensions, if something is missing from my list, you can drag it from the folder into the extension window

   

3. Open your Visual Novel then on your Textractor > Attach to game > Find your Visual Novel

   • Sometimes it is named engine, not actual VN name e.g. SiglusEngine

   • It should look like this after attaching

     

4. On your Visual Novel, play it so it can generate the text from the game, after 1-2 dialogues, check back on your Texthooker and find a suitable hooked text from the drop-down menu

   • Check Extra Info and Tips if you have trouble finding the proper hook or the text is messy

5. If it's working properly it should look like this:

   • Click Save hook(s) if everything is alright

Extra Info and Tips

Info 1: Finding the proper texthook

Finding the proper texthook (click here)

• Some VNs is hard to hook, messed and/or missing text, on which case you need to manually find a hook(video guide) or search the internet for one (e.g. Riddle Joker hookcode) then add hook > save hook

• Some VNs problem is the version itself, you'll be safe using JP only version rather than steam/multi-language versions

Info 2: Using Regex to remove unnecessary text

Using Regex to remove unnecessary text (click here)

• When all text is present but there is unnecessary unwanted text, you need to use regex filter which is usually on the 2nd tab of Textractor

• For regex you need some techy knowledge or search around for a specific VN

Info 3: Setting the dialogue speed to max to prevent missing text

Setting the dialogue speed to max to prevent missing text (click here)

• Some Visual Novels are sensitive, and that it will only textract a portion of its text since the dialogue appeared slowly
  • Max up the dialogue speed in the VN settings
