PS2 sprites-only patch v1.1

What is the difference between this and v1?
I thought the problem only happen for the misplaced background?

Awesome

>>3939637
Yes, you shouldn't need it at all. I talked about it in an earlier thread :
>There shouln't be any problems with the sprites (except maybe one ? "me_se_th_b22.bmp" was 520x480 in the MG release, while others sprites were 640x480. I replaced all of them with 640x480 sprites, including "me_se_th_b22.bmp". I don't think it could cause a problem from the way the game handles the sprites, but I'll put the right-sized version of this sprite in my updated patch, just in case.)

tl;dr : Download it only if you encounter a problem with a Mion sprite, and there are 99% chances it won't happen.

Cheers to the people working on this. You guys are real bros.

So anything new on the SFX "correction" patch?

Thanks bros. Damn, Mion is sexy in that swimsuit.

what about voice patch?

inb4 fans of the sausage fingers come and flame you for your "shitty taste"

I'm a few hours in and no ~nipaah. What's going on here?

>>3939686
There's no nipah in the first chapter. At least, from what I heard. It is used in later chapters.

>>3939674
They're probably like 2 guys.
Or maybe it's R07 samefagging.

>>3939631
HALLELUJAH!

This fixes that problem with Angel Mort and the classroom changing from day to night randomly, right?

>>3939694
>R07 samefagging.
If only.

>>3939694
Get out 07th Production devs?

How come the Sprites Only, and the BG Only patches are both bigger than the one that combines the two?

>>3939716
BT died few months ago.
So I doubt there is any other guys from 07th that would lurk western forum.

>>3939694
Nah, bro.
R07 is still depressed about BT dying.

>>3939718
I think it was very obvious that the suggestion it was actually a 07 dev was not meant to be taken seriously.

>>3939721
If there is a 1% of a 07th dev lurking any western forum, it would be BT.
He was the guy that send the letter to witch-hunt for your information.

>>3939708

what happened to mion's boobs?

>>3939962
They are bigger than the rest of the people's, also you can see them better in Angel Mort outfit

What is this game about anyway

Wait, someone here is making a proofread patch? Is the translation written poorly?

Would it kill mangagamer to hire a native english speaker?

>>3940310
knowing what higurashi (umineko as well), sengoku rance, FSN, and various other VNs are about is essential knowledge before deciding to post on /jp/

>>3940323
that would mean costing them more funds which would come out of there porn money

>>3940323
Yes, didn't you notice it with Edelweiss, english kills people, I'm not a native english speakers and I would do better really ''doing a corpse an an atomy''

>>3940349
*anatomy

>>3940323
This is the one thing I don't get it.
Why would they spend massive amount of time and money to perfect the BGI engine when they could just release/leaked the alpha patch to /jp/ while we spot the problems and mistakes for them for free.

Do they really think that the BGI can deter piracy?
Pirate will always be pirate while buyfag will be buyfag.

>>3940381
because there's a high chance that the criticism /jp/ will give out will cause so much mental breakdown that they will start living on a diet merely consisted of there own feces

So what are the other 20% of the backgrounds that aren't replaced, exactly?

>>3940402
various pictures of toilets

me need the ps2 bgm patch...

>>3940402
Some part of Okinomiya city when going in a date with Shion, I'm there right now and 3 in a row

One thing i don't understand about MG, the left the honorifics, ways to call family (in Shuffle they left otoh-sama) but when Shion, who calls her sister onee in jap, a relatively unused for since it lacks honorifics, they decide to translate it to sis, wtf is their criteria

Thank you everyone. I can now play Higurashi without ham.

>>3940460
Well, sometimes they have different translators working on the same thing, so you'll notice inconsistencies. This was really obvious in some of their earlier releases, like Edelweiss, where some translators were obviously more competent than others.

I've been playing Higurashi Matsuri for a while and these are the results:

PS2 OST:
1- Ansoku no Jikan (breakfast)
2- Pakapaka Sanpaichi (meeting rena)
(ansoku no jikan again when they arrive at the school)
3- Daigiyaku Ten (K1 goes into Splinter Cell mode to detect Satoko's traps)
4- Chiyokotto CITY TIME (Satoko's theme song?)
(ansoku no jikan when the bell rings)
(Chiyokotto CITY TIME,they start eating)
5- TRICK OR TREAT (mion and K1 bullying poor satoko ;_;)
6- Yoru Suzu no Shirabe (going home)
[Oh, there are choices in the ps2 game. Anyway, I don't know what the fuck Mion asked me because there's no backlog but I've chosen 'Of course'.]
(TRICK OR TREAT again, they both got al deredere now, K1 is the man. I guess if I were to choose the other option this would have been the scene where K1 tries to piss Mion off by ignoring her.)
(ansoku no jikan, meeting Rena and Mion)
(Pakapaka Sanpaichi when they start walking around the town)
(Chiyokotto CITY TIME, Rika and Satoko appear)
(they sure love ansoku no jikan)
(Daigiyaku Ten during the competition for rena's love)
(TRICK OR TREAT, rena wants to omochikaeri K1, hao~)
(Daigiyaku Ten ...but he is defeated by Rika's cuteness)
(Yoru Suzu no Shirabe at the rubbish dump)
(ansoku no jikan at the school, next day)
(Daigiyaku Ten for club activities)
(TRICK OR TREAT, still club activities)
(Yoru Suzu no Shirabe, going home)
(I missed you, ansoku no jikan)
(pakapaka sanpaichi, at the dump again)
7- Jigoku no Kiyou (finally a new song, when K1 is alone reading newspapers about what happened in Hinamizawa)

So yeah, now I'm going to try to insert those in the game. Let's hope it magically works and that both of them have a similar number of tracks.

The PS2 music patch is here, cats and kitties.
http://sites.google.com/site/tweakinghigurashi/home/completed

Would be nice if you could make a website with updates on the project.

>>3940493
Look up. Nobody's put the sprites/bg patch there yet though.

>>3940490
That's not the ps2 music patch, bro. It's just the OST of the original doujin game.

>>3940490
Music patch (COMPLETED, BUT MORE CAN BE DONE, READ FURTHER)
- http://www.mediafire.com/?dhuunoxtinz (Himatsubushi-hen version, full 4 chapters) [mirror: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5DYVP1X2]
- http://www.mediafire.com/?nmyimymm4vy (Demo version, music from 1st chapter only)

Is it just me or has the site not updated for everyone?

>>3940501
I see the same thing. Could be they just misunderstood what that music patch was.

Also, I really doubt that
>>3940483
and
>>3940490
are the same person. I mean, less than two minutes passed before the first one said they were going to try inserting the music. I do not think they'd successfully insert it, test it, upload it, and link it to us, all within that amount of time.

>>3940490

You need to learn to read.

>>3940514
oops my bad. i meant original soundtrack but whatever.

Also I hate to beat what is almost certainly a dead horse, but is it better to decompile data05000.arc, copy over new music files as needed, then recompile it with AnimeED?

>>3940542
Whoah! It works! Amazing.

>>3939631
Nice. Thanks for all your work.

Does anyone know what's the filename of the song which sounds when you arrive at class the first day and fall into Satoko's trap? It should be either msys04 or msyssa but that doesn't seem to work.

>>3939941
Rika is a good girl.

>>3940578
Nevermind, I got it with the awesome way. Trying to delete all of them with the game running works because you can't erase the song that is playing.

>>3940460
Do you really expect normal people to know what Higurashi?
It doesn't seem like MG is trying to capture more english market and are just targeting the sankakufags.

>>3939780
Why is this sprite+bg patch smaller than the bg only and the sprite only patches?

>>3940607
>cry of the Higurashi

Rika will die.

But her soul will chose to go back in time, the the time when she was happiest, and she will be at episode1.

Keichi who loves Rika want to be with her too and want to be in a time when Rika'd love him, but since she already loves Satoko he'll go back in time before Rika is born, and became her mother.

>>3940635
So Akasaka was Hei all along?

>>3940630
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanna_japonensis

Does this patch only work on the MG version? Or can I do something to get it to work on the original game?

>>3940648
>The males call with a distinctive, melancholy sound of "KEKEKEKEKE"

fucking zergs

I've seen it translated to "When the cicadas cry" before, but a higurashi refers to a specific type of cicada. If they were to simply replace it like that, it would be like replacing "tarantula" with "spider" or something. I prefer them leaving it this way, though a tl note for people who don't know what they are might have been nice.

What happened to the gun?
Remove due to moralfaggotry and Sony PS2 Family Friendly motto?

>>3940667
It didn't make any sense for her to be carrying around a gun at all times anyway.

>>3940667
The producers got sick of the constant "Why Mion no use gun?" questioning.

Super beta ps2 OST patch done. It replaces the first 6 songs of the soundtrack for the ps2 ones. There were some instances of songs of the original doujin OST (the patched one, not the MG version) which didn't have an equivalent in the ps2 soundtrack, so I left them there. Only one song of the ps2 OST has been removed so far, because is absolutely impossible to replace it without fucking up everything. Too bad because TRICK OR TREAT is a fun song.

Uploading it to mediafire now.

too bad i'm playing it on the original graphics and you guys are fags for using this

>>3940667

It was just an airsoft gun, they probably were just too lazy to draw it.

>>3940683
It is a lighter isn't it? And almost 99% of Yakuza smoke isn't it?

>>3940667

Shmion has some NICE tits!

>>3940698

She really does, they look so nice and firm.

>>3940694
It's an airsoft gun. Were you here when higurashi was airing? There were threads made by people asking why Mion isn't using her gun all the time in /a/.

>>3940701
I prefer Rika's DFC.

>>3940702
I was waiting for Triad super slowpoke subs that time so I avoided /a/ like the plague.

>>3940702
Yeah, now that you say that, I remember something like that... (I didn't really frequent /a/ at the time or anything, but I remember googling it.) Was a while back, so forgot about that.

So nice and healthy~~!

"If in the first act you have hung a pistol on the wall, then in the following one it should be fired. Otherwise don't put it there."

Good work. Looking forward to the potential voice patch as well.

Higurashi ps2 OST 0.1: http://www.mediafire.com/?lgxyjmm1zj4

Absolutely untested, so I'd be nice if some of you if there's something wrong. Changes a few tracks which sound in the slice of life scenes and the first creepy song. You already know how this works, extract at the Higurashi folder and play.

#870 550x [150M] [Nipponsei] Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai Game PS2 Matsuri OST.zip

It is definitely more professional sounding compare to the doujins work earlier.

>>3940765
They are entirely different, and the ps2 one is far better. The first songs are not that good because they're just lighthearted tracks but the serious ones are really better in the ps2 OST. Also, some songs of the doujin OST will be left in (like that awesome one that sounds when they play tag) because there's no equivalent in the ps2 soundtrack.

I'd think the "white knights" would be the ones that refused to help in the first place. (which, at least from their posts, seemed to be because of anti-piracy shit)

bump

>Hinamizawan

The ps2 OST patch is stalled until I can solve this problem. The game freezes at a small cutscene with Rena so I can't keep doing this till I find a solution. I'm not using any speedhacks in the emulator so I don't know what should I do to avoid it.

Just finished the demoned away chapter

For some reason in the first half of Rena's "chasing you down with hatchet" she's in her R07 sprite, then it changes back to PS2 sprites. Is this just me?

>>3941787
It's clearly a side-effect of the Hinamizawa syndrome.

>>3941777
From what I can tell, it's a fairly common issue. Not sure how exactly you'd be able to get past it, though, unless there's some way to skip the scene.

>>3941777
sad news, hope you can fix it

also, DAT FACE

>>3940884
I got past the serial part, but the following screen gives me a error when i click next, Im gonna look for a better link

>>3941832
I could avoid it because unlike the original, Higurashi Matsuri is not a kinetic novel so you can read the question arcs in the order you prefer. However, that scene is unavoidable in Onikakushi so I'm pretty much stuck.

>>3941870
That's teh Cg where K1 imagines rena behind him when talkig to the phone and it's like you said unavoidable, but can't you skip to the next day?

>>3941870
You should upload a save file and see if someone can progress for you, then re-upload.

>>3941893
That's actually not a bad idea. If there's a way to move that save file to a real memory card (if it's in the same format as real PS2 saves, it should be easy to do so) I could progress past it myself for you. (Assuming the freeze doesn't happen on real hardware, anyway.)

>>3941890
Impossible.

>>3941893
Do you know where does PCSX2 save the savefiles?

>>3940630
>>3940607
A cicada is a cicada. A Higurashi is a breed of cicada.

>>3941925
Well, I've never actually used it, but I assume there should be some folder in the directory it's run from called "saves" or something. If that's not the case, then it could be in users/[username]/AppData somewhere, but I think it's more likely that it will save somewhere in the folder you're running it from

>>3941942
That's what I thought but the folder is empty despite I've loaded save states a few times already. Anyway, I can upload the memory card file where the saves are supposed to be.

>>3941925
PS1 Emulators usually had a memory card-file, in which save games were saved the same way they would be on a real ps memory card. I could imagine PS2 emulators doing the same. There's probably some way to choose a file for that in the options dialogues.

I just googled it a little. I guess it isn't that simple in this case, what you're going to have to do is find the option to export saves somewhere in the program. I think .ps2 is the format you're going to want to export it in, or something like that.

Here's a guide I found for whoever ends up copying it to a memory card. http://forums.ngemu.com/pcsx2-forum/91742-transfering-pcsx2-save-game-ps2-guide.html

Well I know how to get the save onto my memory card. I'm just trying to help him get me the save.

http://www.mediafire.com/?mchdzynmjm5

Mcd001.ps2, my memory card file. If anyone can load it, the last save is the right one, just before the games gets stuck.

Alright. It'll be another 20 minutes or so before I have the game downloaded, and then a little bit to burn it, but I'll upload a save past that point as soon as that-all is done.

>>3942003
I love you. The OST is already ~25% replaced so if we can get past this I'll be able to finish soon.

can the background maker check the temple background, I do believe there are some backgrounds in the ps2 backs but they aren't replaced. If you uploaded the ps2 backgrounf I'd be able to help with this better cause I remember there were more backgrounds when i played the Onikakushi patch

And this is the extracted savefile from the memory card. Use the in tutorial >>3941987 if you want to load it in a ps2 (if you want to try it in an emulator too, >>3941996 should work).

http://www.mediafire.com/?40mom0zgjjz

>>3941777
Does the game have full screen cg like that?

>>3942094
The ps2 version has CGs and some short cutscenes, which is not that good because they fucking broke my emulator.

Download finished, I'm extracting and burning now. My PS2 seems to like your save just fine, or at least it shows up like I'd expect on the memory card browser.

>>3942153
did it work?

>>3942204
I think so, or at least my PS2 recognizes it from the browser. I'm still burning the DVD of Matsuri. Says that will take 11 minutes to complete. Then it should be pretty quick, to progress past that one scene, and upload the updated save file.

>>3942114
You should get r1888, it handles cutscenes pretty well. You can manually disable the speedhacks that tend to fuck them up.

god this thread makes me wish somebody would translate Matsuri

If you're bg fixing the first arc, then just check the demo ps2 port since it has all the backgrounds and bgm's matched according to the ps2 version.

>>3942237
I'm using it without any speedhack and that cutscene killed the game, but thanks for the advise.

Alright, here you go. http://www.mediafire.com/?25fmttylt5g 8 and 9 are both past that point, I just made two in case the first one was too soon or something.

If you run into any more issues, let me know, we should be able to get past it much faster now. (Because I obviously don't have to download and burn the stuff again, it should only take a couple of minutes, after I notice the post.)

Thanks, let's see if I can use that save now.

What's this?
It's happening during the part where rena has the cleaver and is following keiichi in the first arc.

It doesn't crash, though.

>>3939740
>>3939747

>>3942526
It looks like two gray dicks are about to cover her in semen.

Did a little bit of work on the script by myself after Cudder pointed me in the right direction. I think I know enough to do the script cleanup (as long as it doesn't involve modifying transitions or anything), but modifying the pointers by hand would take infinitely more time than actually editing the text. I also don't know enough about low-level file modification to throw together a program myself.

Chances are, Cudder already knows all this, but here are my notes anyway: http://pastebin.com/m3b6ef07e

The save worked perfectly by the way, thanks for that anon. The last part of Onikakushi is more tricky so for now I'm just replacing the easy cases (like, instances of new X song on the doujin OST - new Y song on the ps2 OST) and I'll mess with the rest later.

All the ps2 shit belongs to the company that made the ps2 game, what 07th expansion owns is what MG bought.

>>3943465
It's probably waiting for patch updates too.

How much longer should the voice patch take? Should I, who am hungry to play, just start already?

>>3943575
Yes...it's fine as it is already. If you;ve already read Umineko 1-4 then there's no reason to hold back because of lack of voices.

>>3943593
The issue is that I love Higurashi's seiyuu, but that's no excuse for holding back then? I've read Umineko, so I have no direct problems...
All right, I will stop waiting. Thanks.

>>3942494
Awww, fuck. I went to the scene you mentioned and I got the same error window. This only occurs for the monochrome BGs (black and white, or, in this case, red and white). That's because when I saved them under paint.net, I left "color depth" on automatic selection, and it chose 8 bits instead of 24 bits (since the pictures were monochrome).
I remade them in 24 bits :
http://www.mediafire.com/?nzzuyu3qxtr

Just paste them into your Higurashi folder, the game will pick them instead of the ones in data02000.arc.
I'll redo the whole patch anyway, since I'd hate to leave some bug-inducing BGs in it.

>>3943650
You'd end up being disappointed in the end anyways since the whole game wouldn't be voiced. Different arcs replace others that are in the PC version.

>>3943650
You could wait for the PS2 music patch at least. That probably won't take too long.

>>3943664
So do we ABSOLUTELY need this if we're using the original BGs or just for the PS2 ones?

>>3939631
DAT FACE!

>>3943689
The character sprites are totally fine. This problem only concerns some monochrome backgrounds.
If you're using the sprites-only patch, you don't need this.

Higurashi ps2 OST 0.25: http://www.mediafire.com/?z4vygyonmem

Replaces most of Onikakushi's OST, except for some tracks that I'm not going to decide whether I'll change or not till I'm done with the rest. I'll be glad if you test this and tell me which ones remain the same from the patched MG version because I haven't been keeping track of them (though right now I kinda memorized all the OST). I may have missed some songs so your help will be useful.

Starting from now it will be more annoying because Higurashi Matsuri is not a kinetic novel like the original, meaning that I'll have to be careful with the choices. Also, the soundtrack of the next chapters may be even more different than the doujin version, which would be my nightmare. Dear god, I hope you hacker guys can port this to onscripter.

Wait, there are choices in the game? Does that mean there multiple paths or do they just lead to quick bad ends?

>>3943901
First you uploaded the game and now this. Good job.

>>3943916
I'm not quite sure about the bad ends part (wouldn't most Higurashi chapters have a canon bad end anyway?), but you can read the question arcs in the order you want.

>>3943935
oh yeah derp
well, thanks for the patch - keep fighting the good fight

>>3943901
Do you know that there's a ps2 port of the onikakushi arc since months ago? It has backgrounds, cg's and bgm's exactly like in the ps2 version. It'd have been faster to look at its script than to play the game with an emulator.

I thought it just had the voices and the cg

how do you save? the interface is different from the Umineko one, right-clicking doesn't bring up the menu

>>3944013
Restart the game. Go to Config. Make sure to switch the right-click function to call up the menu.

>>3943996
It would have been faster that way, yes, but I've already replaced some tracks which sound in other arcs thanks to this. Also, it's quite fun playing this and the voices are great.

When the hell are we going to see this in th anime!? Thats why I thought Rei was going to be about... Satoshi coming back. Boy I was wrong... (Sigh)

Why don't we have a Sound effects patch yet? i mean the ones from the original release that MG messed with.

So I'm finally reading and I notice that Ciel-Sensei doesn't have a sprite. Is this normal or did I miss something?

>>3944035
Satoshi never woke up in the manga. Shion did not take it well.

>>3944051
She has 3 different sprites. I'm not that far in the game either, they're probably used in the latter arcs.

>>3944018

much thanks

i'm also having problems installing the font patch. the provided font doesn't copy into my Fonts folder. any other Anons having this problem?

>>3944096
Try double clicking on it, a window should come up. Then click install.

Is there something I can do about the bright blue log window? It's weird to have something creepy happen, miss a line, then get this huge blue screen.

>>3943664
Done.

PS2 sprites and backgrounds patch for Higurashi PC v1.1b :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DCVEAIFX

PS2 backgrounds-only patch v1.1 :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CVPZZB82

Both fix the problem reported by >>3942494.

If you don't want to redownload the whole thing, you can also get the 31 fixed backgrounds from >>3943664 and paste them into your game folder, it'll have the same effect (files put directly in your game folder override the ones in data02000.arc). It might make your Higurashi folder a bit messy though, you'd probably prefer to just paste one big file.

>>3944340
Read more carefully. Seriously, unless someone changes that you will have to resort to it to avoid the bright blue.

>>3944091
Yeah she doesn't have a sprite until the third chapter.

A friend of mine just wants the sprites so she can mess around with / exploit them. Is there any way to extract the PS2 sprites from the .arc file?

>>3944382
I'm sure someone will provide them once you admit to the world that your "friend" doesn't exist.

Anyone have a DDL link for the game? I tried searching for one and all I got were news articles and links for the anime.

>>3944390
...Fine, I want them. Could somebody please tell me how to do it?

>>3944393

Say what now?

Is this the fiestaaaaaaaa?

>>3944411
I'm not lying? And why would I lie about this? What do I stand to gain?

I feel so dirty for actually changing the sprites...

>>3944430
No, just no porn

>>3944430
WHAT FIES-TA?!

move your fucking ass and do the voice patch already

>Higurashi VN with porn.
I'm very much fine with this.

>>3944490
You REALLY want to see Ryukishi draw porn? Really?

>>3944507
Just for novelty's sake. And it would probably be hillarious.

>>3944507
Actually those Umineko edits from yesterday were pretty hot

>>3944507
sausage dick and sausage pussy

do not want

>>3944507

It can't be worse than Kanon

>>3944507
Correction:
>Higurashi VN with porn NOT drawn by Ryukishi

>>3944513
>sausage pussy

>>3944514
Is that a challenge?

>>3944481
>move your fucking ass and do the voice patch already
it's been done already. search for it before asking, faggot.

It's not working...

Crass or ExtractData should get the files out of the arcs for you. However, the bitmaps are in the strange format BGI uses for transparency, so you might have to swipe BGI Tools from here and figure out how to convert back: http://www.mediafire.com/?lmjjojzwhzm

>>3944628
Thank you, Anonymous.

Is the PS2 OST much better than the original one? I'm not sure if I want to download it. Any suggestions? Should I?

>>3944681
No, the PS2 OST is worse.

>>3944681
Don't download it anon.

>>3944711
Bullshit. The school life type music is pretty meh, but the serious stuff is much more tense and atmospheric.

>>3943326
That looks pretty close, but the instructions aren't actually that long.

>>3944512
>Umineko edits
WHERE

>>3944762

I didn't really know what I was doing, but I'm glad I wasn't totally off-base. It did seem strange for the instructions to be as long as I had them, but it seemed to follow a pattern over the couple scripts I checked out.

>>3945019
Will we be seeing a (fixed) MG translation patch of original Higurashi soon then?

>>3945028

That depends. Someone still needs to write an app to do all the pointer management, because there is no way I'm doing it by hand. I might give it a try tomorrow, but if someone wants to expedite the process, there should be enough information to do what we need on the pastebin page.

>>3945116
I'm working on it. A BGI script disassembler/assembler. Something that would turn the scripts into a format like:

setbg black
delay 10
setbg bg052
sound wa_3934
text "Welcome to Hinamizawa"
...etc...

>>3945181

Perfect. Once that's done, I'll start razing the scripts.

It'll be pretty badass if the CGs could be put in after someone gets the script.

Could someone tell me what this means?


(in b4 pleasure of being cummed inside)

>>3945895

A couple of those characters are hard to decipher. If you could copy the error from BGIError.txt after it pops up, it'd make figuring it out a lot easier. It looks like an unknown instruction ("op code $0111") was sent to the engine, but I can't say for sure.

This thing is going to be a BITCH to fix... this is part of the code for the first bit of Onikakushi.

(There's about a gross of instructions before that which just show the 3 opening CGs and perform the fade effect. Holy fuck.)

And yes, it looks like BGI's VN script is based on a stack machine. 3F calls the routine that can either write text, print graphics, emit sound, check the keyboard, shoot a kangaroo, or a bunch of other things I'd rather not think about. It also seems to take a variable number of parameters of variable types.

looks like it hit autosage. time for a new one
