/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Best girl is best.

I liked Manaka at first but hell, I love Nene now.

For someone who knows no/little Japanese, what should I start off with when it comes to naming my MC? (Unless there's a default that I guess I'll stick with) And is there a way to flip the NDS emulator so I don't have to tilt my head at an odd angle?

>>3311099
If you can't read at all I wouldn't recommend trying it.

>>3311099
Just pick a MC name you can think of off the top of your head. I picked a weird name that I don't hear often just because I liked how it was written.

>>3311099
Use the emulator linked in the OP and use NDS2xGL2.exe to play. Pressing spacebar will rotate the screen.

Also any name is fine. The game will offer you a list of names they can verbalise anyway.

>>3311115
Yeah yeah, I know, still can't help but be interested in trying it though.
>>3311144
Thanks for the help there. And where's this list where I can see what is verbalized?

I don't really get the naming screen. How do I input a kanji that has more than one syllable? Find a one-syllable reading for it, or something?

>>3311099
Go with something from a Japanese TV show you've seen. That's what I did, and both names ended up being registered in the game. That is to say that the name is actually voiced in the game.

>>3311245
Um, hit the last tab after you select the first kanji

>>3311280
Last on the right, not the bottom.

>>3311252
Heh, first thing that popped into my head unfortunately was Tomoya. Now to figure out the right symbols and everything and hopefully have it voiced. If not I'll just try to find a simpler name or something that hopefully is voiced.

>>3311245
to select the kanji, find the on reading for it and select its first syllable

For example
川 pronounced kawa but on reading sen so it's found under せ

>>3311337
If you don't even know kana then you won't accomplish much.

WHY HELLO THERE

How simple is the language? I've only taken a semester of classes plus what I've learned on my own (probably 130 kanji and some assorted grammar).

>>3311357
WELL WELL WELL WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE.

>>3311368
You should do fine actually.

>>3311368
That'd be fine.

>>3311368
You're good to go I'd say.

>>3311078

Wow that makes me wish this was animated 2D instead of 3D.

>>3311397
Yeah, 3D is pig disgusting. Aren't there any 2D animated dating sims?

>>3311397
Even if it's crappy 3D, the subtle movements in 3D are better.

How can I date my waifu in skip mode?

Also, I dont understand the skinship part very well, apparently touching the shoulder shoulde be ok, but I still get a broken blue heart and FEELING down when I try.

>>3311404
>>3311397
Closest I can think of is Otome Function, which is still in development. Maybe the School/Summer/Cross Days games, though they're not interactive.

2D animation means the art quality has to be pretty severely sacrificed to account for more frames.

>>3311410
Try touching other places.

Nene seems to like being kissed/touched on her hair all the time.

Finally got down most the symbols for Tomoya I think, just need to find り (Can anyone point me in a direction of where to find it?). And I think I got the last name right using the symbols I found through Rikaichan.

Why is this getting so much attention here? Is there going to be a translation?

>>3311519
By the sound of it yes, but it could just end up being dropped. (Hopefully not) I think people are still working on hacking it while some others are translating what they can.

>>3311519
Next level of dating sim. And it may get a translation, nothing confirmed yet.

Look at the tlwiki for progress. Hacking tools are speeding along, and some of the menus are translated (though not inserted).

There are script dumps, so if anhyone wants to start plugging away at them they're free to do so.

I hope this does receive a translation. It's perfect for me

Re: translations,

The format of the dumped scripts on tlwiki is as such:

----0001
//おはよう。
//今日も一日、
//がんばろう？
おはよう。
今日も一日、
がんばろう？

The first line denotes which segment the text belongs to. The lines marked with // are commented out. Neither of thse should be modified.

Everything afterwards is free for anyone to try their hand at translating. Just replace it with your translations.

Motivational Nene.

>>3311634
So many people added their names to translation already .. !

Let's hope they do their jobs like they want to.
I'll start plugging.

Can skip mode and real-time mode be exchanged between easily? Does it just ignore random time skipping?

>>3311953
Yea. It's probably best to go to real time, set a schedule for the day, then play in skip time. Or at least that's what I do. Skip time still uses some real time based stuff. For example fortunes and such.

>>3311953
You switch between the modes by going to the configure menu, btw.

Emails are busily being translated now.

Please wait while girls are dating warmly.

>>3311977
I suppose it just strikes me odd that you can play 100 days in skip time, then when you go back to real time it will be the same day. ..I assume

>>3312067
If you're going to complain about that, you should complain that even if you play 300 days in skip time it will still be fall, and they will never advance in school years.

>>3312084
Ah so it is like that? Okay.

Motivational Nene groping.

Fuck yes she came to wake me up in the morning. I can die happy now.

>>3312307
What? I hate you.

This game sure beats 3-D sluts.

>>3312504
But they are 3D sluts

I assume this can be patched and then loaded onto a DS rom cartridge to play on the system rather than an emulator, right?

>>3312307
;_; i want her to wake me up

>>3312534
If by patched, you mean language patched, we're working on it.

Sherlock Holmes and Watson-kun. That's kind of amusing.

Oh god, dream Manaka said she wanted to make a baseball team's worth of kids. Though she was joking.

HHHNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Just had the first date with Manaka in Skip mode, long event was long. Many kisses too, but those damned blue hearts during stage 3 screwed me up more than once.

>>3312906

Are blue hearts like blueballs or something?

I started reading the wiki page and I'm sad that there isn't a girl who's impressed by intelligence. Can you condition then to appreciate your brains? I wouldn't even want a girl who values something as stupid as athletics over intelligence in real life.

I never understood why events in these kind of games lower an attribute as well. Is he painting with lead paint and losing braincells in the process?

>>3312967
Rinko likes intelligence from my experience.

>>3312967
Manaka likes athletics and intelligence the most, at least for me.

Also, it seems like if you have a date scheduled in Real Time mode, you can't have a date in Skip Mode.

>>3313018
I have a date scheduled for tomorrow, and I've gone on 2 dates in Skip Time Mode

>>3313029
Seriously? I don't have the option at all.

Why is my waifu wearing a yukata and not her pajamas?

>>3313071
Oh wait, durr hurr. I thought since the option was on the bottom, that it was the "cancel date" option.

>>3313098
The option only changes to cancel when you actually have plans.

>>3312307
What's the resolution of the DS screen? That looks awfully pixelated.

>>3313132

Its got more to do with the lack of anti-aliasing than the resolution.

>>3313132
256x192

The DS's 3D capabilities are pretty awful.

>>3313138
The strange thing is, the background is smooth and anti-aliased while the character herself isn't.

>>3313155
The backgrounds are just bitmaps.

if you enable the graphics filters, some of the pixellation can be fixed.

>>3313226
How does one go about doing this?

>>3313226
If I do that the emulation performance gets a heavy hit, but im not a graphic whore, so i dont mind the pixelated look

>>3313239
If you're using the 2x resolution+rotation executable for no$gba,
NDS2xGL > Filter> Hq2x

More of my dear Nene.

>>3313274
Oh no, I'm playing on a Cyclo DS Evolution.

>>3313297
If you're playing on the real hardware then the screen is too small to have visible pixellation anyway.

gee, this game looks like shit

>>3313150
actually, a lot of DS games with 3D look very nice, even with low polys.

>>3313326
We value your opinion highly.

In other news, fuck yeah I am the kissing master. Every date comes off flawlessly too.

So looking at the Omoide Gallery, my Manaka confession was "type A". Does that mean there are other types? o_O

Good replayability, eh?

>>3313476
>replayability

It's not replay if you never stop playing anon

>>3313454
mine was type C, she confessed in the tenis court while her friends cheering on her

Just sent Nene her morning mail. She praised me for waking up early~

>>3313454
yes. there are 3 personality types
http://www19.atwiki.jp/love_plus/pages/16.html#id_fd37c03c

>>3313615

So how do we get the other personality types? I want Nene to tease me and call me cute again.

....

itemsss
how to get

Has anyone figured out the significance of the smilies below the stats, or what causes them to move up and down?

>>3313798
http://jfk.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/gal/1252234821/6

might have to start a manaka save

>>3313833
I tried my best to make sense of this, but to no avail. Anyone else?

Every time I think I've seen every hair style, another bunch show up somewhere.

Yet I still don't know how to change my girl's hairstyle. Dammit.

>>3314061
Dang, I can't wait till I can change manaka's

I recently got a mail from her asking if there was types of hair I liked.. but I could only answer yes or no basically, so nothing came of it.

>>3314061

I got a mail asking if I liked her current hair style. If I said no, she said it might be a good thing to change once in a while.

this table
http://www19.atwiki.jp/love_plus/pages/16.html#id_778edae5

you need 2 stats to produce a change
髪型変更 知識 魅力

i dont know how many hearts in there. i think 2.

>>3314274
>>3314282
dream event?

Is there a way to figure out which reaction to your daily activities when you pick them? Whether you get the circles, triangle or X.

>>3314334
I think that's a randomized element.

>>3314334
think that's random, i means you can't always be doing good everyday right?

Also, what is up with this creepy guy who keeps sending me mails?

>>3314375
gives you advice regarding dating and various other info etc

>>3314375
should be the help messages.

is this only after rock paper scissors?

>>3314410
What is that pervert doing to my Manaka?!

>>3314410
>>3314282
>>3314274
How the fuck do you get dream events apart from the first one?

>>3314814
It's random. If you keep your stats full they should be coming soon.

>>3313913
FAP FAP FAP, i need to unlock the indoor pool right now.

Hurry up and get here already, flashcart!

Indoor pool is unlocked and i got something else (GET message) but...i dont know what.

Anyone know how to get/buy/whatever presents?

http://www.mediafire.com/?5momwmyqzlz
full scripts are out. Anyone care to join in and translate.

Thank Nagato for it.

when DS idolmaster comes out are we going to drop this for it?

>>3315907

Considering the idea is a community translation, there will probably be continued interest in both.

>>3315907
Maybe. It has a trap so...

>>3315907
Do both! Use this as a warm up so that the Idolmaster game can be translated faster.

>>3315907
I certainly hope so

>>3315859

I'll wait until they are up on the wiki.

Some technical difficulties getting the scripts to the wiki, but they will get there eventually.

>>3315859
How was this extracted? Where were the scripts hiding?

Anyone know why everything in my game is sideways?

How the heck do you guys do all these sorta things? I'm stumped trying to get the girl to wear whatever costume I got as a prize, let alone wake me up in my room!?

>>3316275
The game is supposed to be played with the DS turned sideways.

If you're using the emulator in OP post, use NDS2xGL2.exe and press space to turn it.

>>3316226
They were hiding in compressed files inside of tmx_event.arc.

>>3316363
Hacker-san, hounto ni arigatou gozaimashita.

I'll name my character Saeba Ryo.

I wanted to take Manaka to the indoor pool, but the option is greyed out, wtf?

>>3311078

There is no left-hand mode is there? ;__;

Don't mind me, just gonna cry myself to sleep and attempt to get comfortable playing this lovely game in an uncomfortable manner. Fucking biased-ass devs

>>3316488
How, pray tell, could there be a lefty mode with one touch screen?
Besides, you can do everything with the stylus, just have the DS in your pal or on a flat surface and fire away.

>>3316502

I use the stylus with my left hand

It would be more comfortable if I flipped it the other way, so my hand doesn't cover up the 'reading screen' when I'm inputting selections

>>3316502
>>3316520

And before you start goin "JUST USE THE STYLUS WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND" i'm basically handicapped and cannot use my right hand to hold anything / it is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to do so, it would be much more comfortable to hold the DS like a book, just with the touchscreen on the left and the reading on the right

I got bullying Nene! Oh god I'm in bliss.

>>3316848
Stop that you, you... SON OF A BITCH

Does anyone know how to add things to the translation Wiki? I am like wiki illiterate, I want to help translating etc.

>>3317204
Go to one of the scripts, hit edit, and change the lines to English. For example:

//おはよ、マナカだよ▼
おはよ、マナカだよ▼

The part with the '//' is commented out, you translate the part that is below it so it would look like:

//おはよ、マナカだよ▼
Morning, it's Manaka.▼

then save page.

>>3317243

Oh shit that's easy. I'm going to have a ball with this!

Does someone know what are the smiley faces under the stat bars and how do you modify them?

>>3317272
I'll love you forever if you translate this dude.

>>3317348
It's probably how much she's satisfied with a certain stat. I guess it's normal having one or two at zero if you've maxed out everything.
It's mostly speculation, though,

I kinda want to start a new save to try out the other girls, but goddamn it feels like cheating. Fucking simulation games.

>>3317357

I'll add what I can. But I'm really surprised more hasn't been done though. This stuff can be done with like two years of Japanese at least.

>>3317426
This. I'd even feel guilty if I trued out Manaka's other personalities. Don't change like that for me! It's like lying!


Meanwhile I overslept and missed present-buyung. fffff

>>3317477
Don't be so hard on yourself. I stood Nene up on our first date because I overslept. I feel like shit ;_;

Why are some date locations locked?

>>3317477
How do you buy presents?

>>3317504
You need to level them up. You can only use a lvl.1> location as a date spot.

>>3317471
I would've done more. But I'm pretty lazy.

>>3317471
The scripts have been up for two days. Considering the game's been out les than a week this is pretty insane progress.

>>3317532

Oh. Japanese is my thing so this is like good practice for me. Haha. Finally something to do that is kinda like slacking off but still learning Japanese.

>>3317471
I'm doing what I can but I fucking suck.
Oh well, I'll just do the ridiculously simple bits so others don't waste their time.

>>3317588
Are you Tsoi on there?

>>3317531
Thanks

WTF I like did over 9000 and it didn't save it at all. Fucking shit.

>>3317477
Oh! by going to the calender, I can replay a scheduled event.

The only bad thing about this game is that Nene's sprite looks so soulless and creepy.

THOSE EYES.

>>3317619
Did you click save page?

>>3317612
...didn't even realize Manaka's name.... ;_;

If you want me to fuck off I will.
I was thinking that I could start plugging the locations or something.

>>3317635

I think so. Oh well...

>>3317624
nvm, it's adorable.

>>3317648
I think you're better copypasting everything to notepad and working there.

>>3317643
I don't really mind that much. I just thought a couple of the translations were pretty crazy.

I've been doing some of the easy menu options, though even some of those can be tough. probably will go back to doing more of those

>>3317527
>How do you buy presents?

this please

>>3317527
>>3317698
Asked in the IRC channel.
You need to go to the shopping mall in Real Time mode to buy things.

Added present buying and hairstyle changing to wiki.

http://tsukuru.info/tlwiki/index.php?title=Love_Plus#FAQ

>Asked in the IRC channel.
yeah but I don't use IRC. Thanks, anyway. So people got around making a dedicatd channel, huh?

>>3317735
Considering it's in the OP, yeah.

I just did some of the names out of boredom. Those are pretty easy.

ehg, someone changed stuff while I was editing it too, how do I merge them without losing work?

>>3317711
Related question: if i set "Go out" as the afternoon event, which range of hours is considered "afternoon" in the game?

>>3317826

Copy your section of text into notepad. Go to the new page, paste ONLY your translated section over the untranslated counterpart.

In the future, do this from the start and don't edit right on the wiki.

>>3317844
Hmmm... no idea, 15 to 18 maybe?

>>3317826
Oh maybe it was you who fucking screwed me up. You were translating the emails weren't you!?

>>3317871

Just follow this >>3317858 from now on and you shouldn't have problems.

>>3317844
In Skip Mode, I've set a couple of dates at 3PM which turned into afternoon on the schedule.

>ROM hacking: 83%

I love you guys.

Nene is threatening to withhold dates if my grades go down!

So never translated before but starting, I went to the wiki and got
gd_textres_jpn
and coppied 1600 - 1694 into notepad. I assume I want to take each section - for example-

----1656
//動物園：ライオン
動物園：ライオン

and make it into

----1656
//動物園：ライオン
Zoo：Lions

then insert it back into the wiki...is this correct?

>>3318039
Yea looks good.

>>3318039
Yep. Good luck with that.

>>3318039
This is correct

>>3318039
I'm also wondering about text size. I assume the English can't take up any more space than the Japanese text is this true? It would mean some are difficult to translate

>>3318053

This is not true. We are not dealing with fixed file/line sizes. We have the the details on the file format, so we can rebuild it to the necessary specs once we have the new lines.

>>3318064
OK thanks for letting me know. I'll put an hour or two in before work.

>>3318064
Sweet. What about character spacing?

Heroine personalities added to wiki.

>>3318091

There's a font for English already in the game. As for word wrapping, that will be taken care of by the tool that repackages the scripts.

is there any checks in place before I re-insert translated data or just go ahead and do it?

>>3318278
If you mean into the wiki, then no.

Oh hi.

;A; so cute

What kind of game is this?

does it have porn?

>>3318704
Did you get your intelligence and charm up to two hearts and then go on a date and get asked about her hairstyle, or do something different? Can you tell her which hairstyle you want?

>>3318704
im not sure, this is the second time she changed it. my stats werent very high this time so she didnt ask if i liked it..

>>3318710
>porn
>DS

Excellent, I see the scripts are posted up, so as I said, I'll begin helping you.

Question about the e-mail section though, as I haven't played the game yet, are lines such as:

部活動中

responses/messages between people who are texting, or are they descriptions of your's/or someone else's status? Because I could translate this as:

In the middle of club activities

or

Doing club activities


based on what the situation is.

>>3318793
They're the messages that your girl sends you. In that case she's saying something like "I'm in the middle of club activities".

>>3318810
Alright.

ffffff yesss

I added the story section straight from the Japanese wiki. I'm not sure about the school's name though since I have no idea what the reading is.

>>3318130

I was disappointed. Do they really only have so few personality types? Are people really not that diverse? Haha...

>>3318793

Oh yeah I was just doing some of these. I wasn't sure of the context was but translated them anyway...

I'll try to knock out some of the true e-mail convos tomorrow. I'm sleepy and it's still the holiday weekend, so my laziness is getting to me.

>>3318894
Disappointed, really? I was sort of put-off by the multiple personality thing at first, till I thought of it as jsut different sides of themselves. I wish we could get all three at the same time :<

>>3319123
I think it's pretty much the same as subtly boosting their confidence in conversation, or making statements like "you know, you don't need to hold back when asking something like that."

So far the other personalies seem to be nicely subtle. Noticable, but not complete changes to how they act.

Ok, just had another date with Manaka, first to the indoor pool and then to the aquarium. Much better performance than the first one, almost no blue hearts of death in all the kissing sessions.

But she used this swimsuit in the pool, but i want her to use a bikini instead, the next date. How?

Also, after the date I got a message and got a reward for 10 successful kisses. What is that reward?

>>3319210
not sure about the bikini, i think the swimsuit selection may be random or tied to your choice of clothing style
the reward msg for 10 kisses is probably a cosplay outfit unlock for winning the scissors paper stone game in loveplus mode

i'm more curious about that max heart tab in the left screen, never seen it before

Fuck this game, You can only kiss her? Fuck that.

When is some Doujin group going to try and release an actual eroge game for the DS that takes advantage of the touch screen?

>>3319228
Dunno, that tab was there in the first date too (when i took her to the zoo)

>>3319233
We're shy, sensitive guys who just want to be loved.

>>3319233
I'm personally hoping for a fighting game where you have to repeatedly hit the screen with your stylus to execute punch barrages right out of Fist of the North Star and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

>>3319302
It'd be even cooler if it was a fist of the north star game, and you could hit pressure points by aiming at locations of the body for various effects.

Such as blowing up peoples hands.

>>3319241
:getout:

>>3319233

Well, is there any developers and publishers willing to participate? It wouldn't seem that way.

>>3317735
You don't have to download mirc to go into the channel.
use a web browsing irc.
http://www.rizon.net/chat.php

>>3319239
you get this if you have all your bars maxed.

wiki says you'll get the chance for an endless refrain kiss. whatever this is.

>>3319711
It's really hard to max all your bars, especially since her mood goes down if you don't ask for dates or refuse a date to grind.

Has anyone figured out how to give presents? I have something for her, but don't know what to do with it.

>Fuck this game, You can only kiss her? Fuck that.
If you want your Love Plus ero, just wait for C77. I bet every H doujin of Love Plus will sell like hotcakes similar to K-ON hype.

>>3319820

But I want to enjoy sweet love with Rinko, not see her get gangraped by 20 fat gamers.

>>3319829
this is life! deal with it!

>>3319829
Right cause gangrape is only in nene and manaka routes.

Rinko route is "Give me the chocolate hisao" route.

>>3319921
Don't compare Rinko to that disfigured cunt.

>>3319725
This. present-giving, how?

So am I the only one playing real time mode?

>>3320071
I usually play in real time, though skip is good for grinding your stats or when you're awake at night all the time.

>>3320071
The game seems essentially built for both modes to be used. Skip to grind stats, Real Time to buy presents and interact with her.

>>3320172
and not forgetting pumping her mood up in realtime by calling her out to meet you and do skinship!

Pic related, it's my favourite.

>>3320428
Meganeko Nene? holy shit.

>>3320428
I think I just came dicks

>>3320428

SHIIIIIIIIT

Is there a translation project in the works? I'm too lazy to click the links, read the thread or type the games name into google.

Oh yeah I was wondering what do we do for the dialogue translations and how do we know no one has done them yet?

>>3321065
Well. fuck you.

>>3321074
You are a rude person.

>>3321041
>>3321069
sage for tonberryfaggot

So can you have sex with them of is this just an idolmaster cop out kind of thing?

>>3321117
No porn on the DS (other than homebrew).

>>3321069

I asked AoRF to post the scripts to the wiki (way too many to upload individually).

Until then, I think we can just keep a list of who is working on what files. I started one here:
http://tsukuru.info/tlwiki/index.php?title=Temporary_dialogue_progress

>>3321124
It could easily fade to black though. Virgin brides?

Dialogue scripts are up.

http://tsukuru.info/tlwiki/index.php?title=Dialogue

>>3321859
Great, but the wiki hosts other projects. This page should be at "Love Plus/Dialogue" or similar.

>>3322244
thanks. it is being fixed now. sorry for any inconvenience

>>3320428
Is this a shop?

>>3323748
No. This game has porn on it.

>>3323748
Why do people think there would be pornography in a retail DS game?

>>3323748
Shop from 2chan, yes.
