MGQ Paradox English Patch v1.21a
Well this has been a long time coming. After the nightmare of patches to the game causing dozens of hours of extra work and invalidating plenty more, we finally have a patch that’s actually compatible with the current version of the game. Yes, that means you need 1.21.
So… if you’re waiting on a patch that translates a big chunk of the story, you’re still going to have to wait. If you’re already playing the game anyway, a giant portion of the skills, items, jobs, interface text, etc. is done and this patch should help. All the h-scenes that were available in the demo are copied over, but no more than that. Now that the giant hurdle has been overcome just to get this far, actual content translation can progress at more than a glacial pace. Thanks for your patience, and sorry if the lack of content in this patch is disappointing.
Install instructions:
Copy patch into fresh copy of Paradox 1.21. Run the patch.exe program and click ‘patch.’ That should do it.
Bugs? Probably. Feel free to report them. If you’re having problems with the patcher itself, it DOES eat a ton of RAM so reboot, close other programs, etc. if you don’t have much RAM in your computer. If you hacked your 1.20 to 1.21, I can’t guarantee that the patcher will work with it either. I’ll probably upload some manual ways to patch because this patcher can be really finicky and slow…

Dargoth's Monster Girl Game Translations 
I love you, please impregnate me with little succubi boys.
Since they are boys, wouldn’t they be called incubi?
Fuck yeah. You’re the boss.
I’m still drooling over the though of future full translation
So everything concerning items, abit of the story, and the demo H scenes, well with the shit storm of all the patches Toro has been given, I can’t really ask for more, thanks for toughing through that bullshit dude. Hope there will be less bullshit to tough through
Thanks!
Yeah!!!
thanks for the hardwork! we believe in you!
Hurray, Santa!
Thank you good sir. Any progress is good progress truly and sincerely.
Thank you for your hard work!
awesome work dargoth and team. god speed.
YOU ARE OUR KING. MAY YOU LIVE FOR AGES!
Thank you Dargoth,
Till you release a manual patch, here is the one I made using your executable patch and decrypting the contents afterwards

https://mega.co.nz/#!WMlW3YzA!hnXFC1oeupPvZtiRXIBGS_yjsxVpQ8lHa_qJA_6VfkM
This only contains the Data Folder and Game.ini
If you aren’t using 1.21 well upgrade before overwriting the Data Folder, if you are using the EX with 1.21 just overwrite the Data Folder and it will essentially uninstall EX.
Use the Manual Patch Method For MGQ Paradox 1.21
1. Download an RPGMaker decrypter (Included in EX or google it)
2. Decrypt all files in Game.rgss3a
3. Move decrypted files into game directory, overwrite when asked
4. Rename/delete/move Game.rgss3a so it doesn’t conflict with the decrypted files
5. Move and overwrite using “MGQ Paradox 1.21_Dargoth.rar” patched files
On step 2: Run RPGMaker decrypter, Open File Game.rgss3a, Tools, Extract All Files; This should make an Extracted Folder containing two folders, Data and Graphics;
Note 0: MGQ Paradox English Patch v1.21a was not designed for versions bellow 1.21, please upgrade to 1.21 before using
Note 1: If Game Folder is in Japanese or Gibberish (A Sad Attempt To Display Japanese) rename it to something like “MGQ Paradox”
Note 2: Game.rgss3a must be either changed or removed as it is read before the content that you are overwriting
Note 3: If you already have a decrypted version of 1.21 only Step 5 is needed
Note 4: If you encounter a save error try EX_0.5d_Save-Fix.rar, found in the readme for EX
Thanks MGQ_EX, but the princess is in another castle! lol…
I’ll wait for the more content patch, I might as well stick to the EX untill then.
I know your .05f patch had some content from Dargoth’s earlier patch, so could you please make a new EX patch incorporating the changes in Dargoth’s latest patch?
DungeonMasterBobbySmith, I’m working on it though it will probably be a while to parse through all the data. Right now I’m reviewing Dargoth’s scripts to mine, noticing things that where off aesthetic differences, etc… Once that is done well down down the rabit hole
Thanks, just be sure you don’t resurface as a mad hatter. lol
Casian Sarpe Socaci, I’m tired and have only got to the extraction part so I leave this for when you get the memo…
Included is a modified version of Dargoth’s Patch (Based off the one I did right above) which has a few script interface alterations (If it wasn’t translated it got copied from what EX had as I went down the list making adjustments to both sides) and I also included this:
Modified Game.ini For These Additions:
WinMode= Discription
Fit fits the game window to monitor size
Full switches to full screen unless already full screened
Window switches to window screen unless already windowed
Resize resize the window to whatever size defined in
Width & Hight (Might Cause Crash)
Width Set As Positive Integer
Hight Set As Positive Integer
If for some reason someone wanted to play in close to full widescreen, as its a nice feature EX had why not have the same for Dargoth’s

Also included is the extracted rvtext files that I have yet to review. Good night, morning, or whatever the case may be…
Is it possible to encrypt the files back once the patch is applied?
Leaving it decrypted makes the game take a few seconds to start up, and a bit laggier on Windows, exponentially longer start up and magnitude of lag when trying to emulate on Linux.
It’s possible Top Key, however as most of my work involves decrypting it I haven’t looked much into it.
In RPG Maker VX Ace Editor it is rather simple to recreate Game.rgss3a,
File > Compress Game Data, Create encrypted archive
I assume there is probably a standalone tool somewhere that would handle the task, perhaps something like https://github.com/gavin-black/rpgm-patcher
If you find more info on it I would like to know but right now I’m a bit busy to research it further
I just got home and I’ll look over the file. I’m only interested in the database one since that’s where I saw the changes. I did get a clean copy before I left when I woke up and applied Dargoth’s patch and looked around in the items via the game. I saw very slight differences in weapons and armors and where I used simple clear descriptions Dargoth used fancier words. He did however have proper descriptions for the ones I did not but I know that’s because he has Jap knowledge and I just had crappy machine translations. I’ll see what and how many of the skills he did compared to what EX had and I think it’s time we took our conversation to private about EX. This is the name I go by on FB if you could contact me there that’d be great if not then you think of something else 😛
Casian Sarpe Socaci, you could send me an email
mgq.ex.paradox@gmail.com
Thanks for looking over the database, anything that is aesthetic don’t concern yourself with as I don’t have any intention of scrapping work unless it is totally wrong.
Ok, I did everything the post said, and when I try to fight enemies using abilities, I keep getting an error! I took a pic of the error: http://www.mediafire.com/view/da71bdc2q194oup/Constant%20error.png#
It’s the exact same error every time I try to use an ability, a normal attack, and even when I use defend all around! If it’s going to do this every time I fight, then I still can’t proceed with the story, and I can’t even farm enemies for job points! Luckily, I made a copy of my game before doing this. So, I guess I’ll hold onto the game in 1.21 and wait for a fix. Just one question though: is it possible to transfer save files form my original game to my updated one? In case you needed to know, my original is a 1.02 with an ex patch.
I’ll look into this, as for transferring saves it shouldn’t be a problem. There was an error with EX 0.5d though, however clean the save and it works just fine.
Mind uploading a save that generates this error? I tried normal attack, special skills, used some items, and it does what it does…
Of course it is, just copy the Save folder over to the directory of the version you want them to be in. I don’t think versions of the saves matter though, just don’t use a recent version save in an earlier version of the game. That should be obvious that crashes may occur if you use recent saves (e.g 1.21 save) with early versions of the game (e.g. 1.02)
@Casian That’s good to know. thank you.
@MGQ_EX Here is a link to a .rar containing a save file of my characters ready to farm in the Safaru Ruins: http://www.mediafire.com/download/6la5ftyoc322gnb/Error+Save.rar When you get into the save, just move into any direction, and do what you do best.
Chiron Maximus, you have the combat set high really no more then two steps… But I don’t see a problem, tried normal attacks, defending, stealing, talking, and spells.
Try the latest version and if that doesn’t fix it try getting a clean copy of Paradox.

It worked. Now I can fight again. I’ll hit up the Forest of Spirits and see if I can get through the cutscene. Might be untranslated, but I won’t care.
IT WORKS COMPLETELY!!!!!!! I was able to continue through the cutscene and the sentences actually made sense! I guess all that’s left is to wait for the next stuff, and to make sure I pay attention to future updates and such. Thank you so much for you help!
Well, the combat does work, but the h-scenes and some of the conversations in the castle are botched up again.
Chiron Maximus,
First off, yey its fixed!
Second, yeah h-scenes are gonna be crap for awhile…
I might temp them after a few other things are looking better, however if anyone wants to take a crack at Common Events 2000 – 5000 in the Dialogues file please feel free, post a link to what got changed, and I’ll see about integrating it into EX
English or Japanese one? Also, is it fine that I opened it in Notepad? I’m not trying to change anything, I just wanted to see what it was about.
Either really, English contains the translation and Japanese contains the original. Notepad or Notepad++ is fine, they are just text files. Changes to the English one will take effect next time you start the game.
wich version is the one available on dlsite?
Version on dlsite is always the latest one.
I might wait a bit longer for some more content, also I don’t have internet at home atm so I will wait also for when I have a internet connection at home as well. Thanks again for all the hard work Dargoth 🙂
Tamam0
I am waiting for translated fights, conversations and h-scenes. Until then I won’t touch it.
It is good to see some progress nevertheless
ty for your hard work sir!
how many percentage progress in this patch? i guess it is still 30 % anyway good job sir dargoth
Thanks for the work~
Gonna ask a noob question where do I get the 1.21 update been to the dlsite I used but just shows update info and not a dl link…. I’m lost.
You re-download the entire thing. Just hit the download button.
I have wrong version error even though mine is already 1.21
Just curious. So, the only h-scenes that are translated are slime girl’s and bunny slime’s?
Thank you for your hard work.
bit disappointed in it only being the demo content and nothing more. But that’s mostly because of how much time it took which was mostly because of waiting for 1.20.
There’s more, just not a lot more. Four bandits cave and most of the slums are translated at least.
It seems like the translation doesn’t take into account changes to traits that were made in 1.20? Most traits have been significantly altered since the last translation patch…. (for example, Kitsu now has 10% increased crit chance)
It’s on the to-do list.
“All the h-scenes that were available in the demo are copied over, but no more than that.”
Jesus christ, see you all in a year when the 10% translation is out.
Dont be an ass ^^ Its free and Dargoth do it at his own pace
“a giant portion of the skills, items, jobs, interface text, etc. is done and this patch should help.”
What kind of percentage would you say is translated in these categories? 100%? 60%?
This project operates on Dargoth time, comparable only to Valve time. Next month means 3 months from now. Bad weekend means another two months. It has been this way for all of his projects, for many years now. To expect anything else is unrealistic.
But it’s still honestly disappointing to know that this is still not farther along than the demo.
Yeah, a touch disappointing, though I am honestly grateful since I didn’t have to lift a finger to do the translating myself.
That said, I am battling the compulsion to play whack-a-mole with the prattling trolls… Sadly, the efficacy of such antics is akin to dynamite in Caddyshack.
Comparable to geological time
Hurray for progress!
Thanks for doing this! Waiting for the story translation here, but it’s nice to see progress.
I thought D said it would be first island done?
> The patch is literally nothing
This isn’t surprising considering how many months it took TT to fix bugs lol. RPG Maker games suck for this type of thing.
At the very least it’s nice to be past that giant hurdle. Thanks for the update!
Thanks for your work Dargoth & Team, i appreciate it.
I don’t care if this patch almost add nothing new to the table but the fact that you update your blog is good enough for me.
I go playing skyforge&the way of the samurai 4 in the mean while…Ah and yes testing English tree of savior cb as well 😀
DARGOTH-SAMA BANZAI!
will most likely take a month or two but i think ill wait for a more complete patch, Thx anyway 🙂
Much better than nothing.
Thank you.
Wow, not even the battle talk for the first few enemies is translated? I didn’t expect too much from the start, but this is ridiculous, since it means, you can’t actually PLAY the game in its current state at all…
Thanks for the hard work. I’d be lying if I said that I that I wasn’t disappointed at the amount that’s been translated over the past three months, but you’re volunteering your free time so frankly, i’m grateful for whatever i’m getting.
I suppose it’s my fault for letting my expectations run wild, but if there’s no communication on the progress for three months it’s hard not to let it. I guess what i’m trying to say is- Thanks for all your hard work, It would be nice if you could let us know at least once a month if there has been any progress on the translation so we know what to expect. If you don’t like doing that then that’s fine too, after all, in the end it’s your show.
Thanks for you hard work 🙂
is there an updated walkthrough yet?
Awesome, now if only there was a link to 1.2, so that people don’t have to look back into older posts to find it. *hint hint*
You really should bookmark this site then
http://sukebei.nyaa.se/?cats=7_27&filter=2
Ask and it shall be given to you *hint hint*
Dude, I can’t read half of the stuff on this page. how am I suppose to find- *sigh* Ok, I’ll try reading through all of it, but just so you know, if I don’t find it, which is likely, I will ask for a more direct link.
Duuuuude! Chrome translates foreign languages automatically, the search bar is somewhere in the upper right corner just type Paradox in it and you’ll get all the versions as a result. Go by version number not by text.
Honestly that site always gets translated in my browser.
I found it already, and you should know that I hate chrome. I prefer Firefox.
I was a firefox user myself once but I found that chrome fits my needs a lot better. Each to their own I guess but I’m pretty sure firefox should have an option to auto-translate foreign language webpages to your preferred language. Also that site isn’t necessarily for Paradox I’m pretty sure you can find other great games. Well mostly for fapping 😛
… I found it already.
Can someone enlighten a dummy over here on how to update from a fresh 1.20 to 1.21? I have all the files ready.
Nvm, imma just dl the 1.21 version and be done with it.
Glad to see you are done with a big chunk of the non-story content stuff. Alot of people complain that there is little story progress, but these things are needed, and might aswell get them done with first so you can focus on getting the story content done after.
Anyone experience Luka just start walking in one direction without any way to stop it? Seems to happen whenever I click out of the game to do something. Definitely wasn’t happening before.
Huh, actually it seems to happen whenever I try to use Cheat Engine. Just starting up the thing causes the game to mess up for some reason without even having to hook the engine up to the game itself.
i read somewhere that the bf girls are recruit able now, is that still the case or no?
BF girls were recruit-able back in 1.20 so they will be recruit-able in all future updates sans bugs on ToroToro’s part.
Ok, I’m just going to come out and say it: During the whole wait, I’m not sure what version I have and I’m not sure what to do. Can someone give me step by step instructions? I might just download the things and see what happens, but I’d like to know what to do so that I can do it properly and not half-ass it.
I checked my files and I think I have 1.02 cause there’s a file with Japanese that says “v.1.02”, as well as an EX patch, but I’m not sure which one.
If it says 1.02, then it probably is that. If you don’t believe it’s 1.02, open the game.exe and check the upper left corner; The version number is there.
Very many thanks. ❤
Is there an EX patch for 1.21? until a larger patch has been released, ill prolly stick to EX.
i wish rogue was here 😦 he would be a godsend to speed this up
No story progress. Well, that’s the way it is. I really wish that I could help or contribute in some way, since my offer was denied (that’s fine, I understand). But all I can do is wait patiently. I believe in you and the team. Not in a “It’s-five-on-one-in-Gears-and-I’m-just-being-a-sarcastic-dick” way, but in a “It’s-five-on-one-in-Gears-and-you-have-the-Torque-Bow-and-I-know-you’ll-win-it” way.
lol
I don’t mind the wait and I won’t complain because you are doing this completely for free but I do want to express my feelings and I feel terribly disappointed. I was hoping you would have translated all or most H scenes plus all the items, skills etc… Only then you should focus on the story… At least thats how I think a game like this should be translated but then again you can do whatever you like. I’m disappointed because the very long wait didn’t translate in content of any of the topics I mentioned above so you basically failed to deliver everything I was hoping for. It didn’t took me more than 10secs to find text in japanese as soon as I loaded my save and I’m not even one of those who are playing the game in engrrwish so I’m still at the beginning of the storyline! I thought you had people helping you!
Anyway this is way better than nothing so I will check and play until I reach the end of the translated storyline. Thanks for your effort and see you in the next patch.
PS: If you played the game already you should have an idea of how much % of the storyline you have translated so in future updates you should mention how much its translated just like rogue did, even if its just a rogue estimate. Better yet you should mention on the comment section how much % the next patch will cover to avoid a wave of disappointment.
Same anon here. Now that I’ve checked more carefully there are really LOTS of translated items! I hope the team puts this much effort in translating the H scenes for the next patch.
Why would you need a translation for the h-scenes? I can tell you what’s happening without even watching them. There are much more important things to translate in the game.
Fuck the h scenes honestly. I’d prefer the story over the h scenes. Would be happy if that was the last thing translated honestly.
You are missing the point though. The thing is its not only MUCH easier to translate H scenes because theres not a whole bunch of npcs involved but also requires MUCH less text to translate. If you play the game for the story only then you belong to the really really small minority of people here. While I do care much more about the story I realise that is something that’s gonna take a while to fully translate and considering the difficulty and demand of our community it’s wiser to translate the H scenes before the story. It would be even wiser to translate the H scenes of the girls that can appear within the translated story but that would only bring more work.
I want to take this chance and speak about something else. I noticed during the storyline at the village where they are selling the phoenix feathers there are some npc’s with their speeches translated and some who are not. That’s something that I would definetily not do. In a RPG people like to wonder around and speak with npc’s so you either translate the whole village or none…
You can’t be serious Anon above me. If you play the game primarly for the tits then YOU belong to the minority my dear friend. Why do you think this game has gotten so popular? It wasn’t because of the H-Scenes thats for damn sure.
While I do enjoy the various H-Scenes I play mainly because the story is so great and it’s also the reason why fans are so fanatic about getting the translation out. Even if you knew what was said in the H-Scenes you would not learn much new other than Luka’s pleads for mercy and the monsters being all dominant.
So my point is that Dargoth must take thats most important to the fans first and that is NOT the H-Scenes.
Not like ony of us can change the way Dargoth is going at it, but I have to agree with anon 2 spaces above me.
H-Scenes might not play important role story-wise, but those are integral part of the game and I dare you to tell me that you don’t sometimes lose on purpose out of boredom or just for the heck of it.
And then you see wall of japanese or piss-poor machine translation which is a huge put off.
There is not that much content to translate, and while I disagree to translate all of it at a time, it would be more than nice to have them translated continuosly together with main story.
I have to ask, does anyone know of a good way to get Small medals? been farming the bloody things in the final tower basement for 4 hours and only gotten two. there has to be a better way
You could remember their locations and quickly run through NG+s. Amira gives 10 from affection and you get some from the Saki performances, iirc. Other than those and raising your item drop rate, there’s also the option of using Cheat Engine to acquire them.
been considering using cheat engine, but finding the right code for the medals is beyond my skill >-< its easy enough when you can raise and lower the amount you have at will.
Might work if i scan and spend some and then re-scan for lowered value… gonna try that
nvm that, apparently you dont lose medals when you turn them in as i thought, so scanning like that wont work. can ayone tell me how one would go about finding a value that wont change? out of all the other 6k values i mean
Dude, you don’t lose medals when you use them at the queen? Then why, when I got the King and Pop classes (of which I had to choose the choice under king of the place), I lost the 30 that it costs? Care to explain that?
i went to the medal queen to decrease the amount i had to scan for the decreased value, but when i asked for the noble job i didnt lose my stuff, still had the 32 medals i had before. ive got everything up to the lord thing for 30 medals and still got my 32 medals on me. i havent even used the cheat engine yet, so either this is something new for the patch or my game is drunk. either way, im not complaining.
guess ill just go through ng+ for the last 18 and imma be golden
… I feel cheated.
Well… I don’t know about cheat engines but it is possible to improve your chances of getting small medals from Honey Pots and Mimics. Merchant and Black Marketeer jobs get a passive bonus to item drop rates. Master the jobs sufficiently, and you earn the ability to increase item drop rate regardless of your current job.
pretty sure u lose medal. I have 20 archangel bras with cheat engine
