and the fixes for the backgrounds?, I believe there are still some the ps2 should have

>>3961280
I don't think anyone's looked into that. No.

Here it is. I was about to make a new one.

!w4lolitaKs will be responsible for keeping Editorashi threads alive after I leave to work on the script assembler.

To answer some questions from the previous thread:
>>3959760
The text style is probably not specified in the text itself, but in one of the other parameters to the call that does it in the actual script. But if you notice anything unusual about the inline text, do post about it here.

>>3960566 see >>3956886

>>3960614
From grepping through my scripts, it's #622 in nik_015. I think oni_re_02 is the culprit.

>>3961115
That's a side effect of how the disassembler merges the same lines together. The proper order is 820,821,817,822,816,823,817,824,825,826,827,816,828&
#44;811,817,829,830,831

>>3961276
Would be better to link to the front page, since there are a set of basic guidelines and notes on the process. http://editorashi.oxyhost.com

>>3961500
And I think I just found a bug in 4chan's new script:

Testing,,,,,,,,,,,Testing,,,,,,&
#44;,,,,Testing,,,,,,Testing,,,,,,&#
44;Testing,,,,,,,Testing,,,,,,,,,&#4
4;,,,

People gave up on the PS2 music one?

>>3961500 on >>3960566

Are we supposed to simply email you with the files when they're done? Where can we send them?

>>3961562
Pack them in an archive and /rs/ them.

697 / 1115 of onik_015.txt

My god, some of this is bad. There were some lines I had to spend ten minutes deciphering, going back between the original text and what they wrote, trying to figure out how the translate it into actual English.

>>3961656
Why the hell do they keep thinking 'demon' is plural? It's demonS, goddamnit.

>>3961516
It's not new, the board has always split certain characters when they're on the new line boundary.

>>3961656
I guess I'll finally work on those tips then.

>>3961582
This

Bump.

Do we have a vague idea of the progres on the text editing?

I think the first chapter is about 1/5th 6th done ish.

>>3962292
Someone's doing the 1500 line script, someone else is editing the tips. The first two script files are done or partially done.

>>3962292
You can see the recent changes as the dates next to the files on the lists. Click on them to see what's been changed.

You're all bad cuntomers, how many of you bought the game?

>>3962390
I did.

>>3962390

Lol, I remember seeing that. looks like translator-san has a Dvorak layout

>>3962390
I might've if the translation wasn't shit and they gave me a physical product. Just kidding, I still would've pirated it.

>>3962390
I am not gonna be a hypocrite.
I pirated it. I did helped with redirecting faggots that ask where to download the game to mangagamers site.

>>3962390
I sure didn't, and if it weren't for the anons who uploaded it, you'd get no patches either.

Maybe the Editorashi and other patches will actually result in more sales from MG since we can fix the damn thing ourselves now.

First i was like:
Ah a voice patch should be easy to do with what i learned from mirror moon

Then i was like:
>ps2 version of higurashi
>over 60.000 wavs JUST FOR THE FUCKING VOICES
FUCK DAMN SHITCUNTS

I bet Anonymous has now put more work into this game than MG did

>>3962498
Because creating simple patches and proofreading are so much harder than fully translating the script in the first place.

>>3962507

It'll be close by the time you guys are finally satisfied

>>3962491
You're doing it?

Going through Higurashi's arc.nsa I found this bg I think is used in a minigame...

Rika confirmed for Sorincha from Kakurenbo

>>3962649
Any word on inputting CGs?

>>3962762
Why not just port the whole PS2 game then?

I'll have to finish the text-only patch first, then edit into versions with PS2 BG/sprites/CG combinations. (CG's won't take too long though, since you only have to add them as backgrounds and take out sprites during the scenes in question.)

If anyone can upload the backgrounds, sprites, music, and CGs it'd help though, so I don't have to ask around later.

>>3962799
It's all been uploaded on the Internet somewhere.

DEM HANDS

is the manga gamers release just the first arc, or did they do all 4?

>>3962983
The first 4 arcs.

>>3961276
obligatory sage for SHITrans

>>3962799
Kinda want this dude to find his nonsense.

>>3963035
back to /tlwiki/ please

>>3963523
Sup REdev, your butthurt is showing

I'll have most of the tips done tonight. That takes out about 600-800 lines from the tab. I'll move on to the main story line tomorrow.

>>3961656
MG's translation, or the editing?

>>3963035
>>3963570
What's wrong with REtrans? I'm a bit late to the party.

bump

>>3963684
>What's wrong with REtrans? I'm a bit late to the party.
The stupid line by line editing mostly makes things unnecessarily unwieldy - I like to work on my good old notepad+, but this dumb thing forces me to paste every fucking line individually and click to commit it. I can only see the paranoid/obsessive type to liking this sort of system.

>>3963806
>he still uses a text editor

>>3963993
Pardon my ignorance, giggling asian girl, but what else would you edit text with?

>>3964003
Would you edit pictures with a hex editor?

derp.

>>3964019
What would you use, then?
If you say "a word processor" I'm going to laugh.

pico

>>3963806
Man, just right click the latest tab next to the file you want to save, save it, then edit it with notepad.

You completely miss the point of RWI. It's not about getting all the scripts, editing them, then uploading a whole bunch of changes that may likely overwrite someone else's. That's why it's specifically designed to be DIFFICULT for you to do that.

Instead, you should update each line as you progress through the script, so that others can see your changes *as soon as possible*. That is the entire point of RWI over a wiki or some other unstructured format --- to enhance multiuser concurrency and transparency. Of course it's going to be slower from the point of a single worker, but together, the achieved throughput is higher.

>>3964130

Awesome, I love software that's designed to be obtrusive and restrict productivity.

Also, if you use Firefox, the following shortcuts will be useful (copied from the last thread):

In the file view:
Alt+Shift+E - view editable version
Alt+Shift+O - view original version
Alt+Shift+R - view recent changes for the file

In the record view:
Alt+Shift+S - submit changes
Alt+Shift+J - previous record
Alt+Shift+K - next record
Alt+Shift+F - back to file view

In record updated page:
Alt+Shift+J - previous record
Alt+Shift+K - next record
Alt+Shift+F - back to file view

So, I'm on the second episode.

Serious fucking spoilers after this point, and I'm not gonna tag em. You aren't a child, you can not read them.

I just got to the part where K1 is about to buy "Mion" the doll, then he realizes that Shion and Mion are different people after all, and Mion sees K1 buying Shion the doll.

I actually felt so bad for K1 that I stopped reading momentarily.

When does NIGHTMARE MODE begin?

>>3964144
You as an individual are less productive, but the combined productivity is greater since there's less management overhead. That's how I understand it, anyway.

>>3964130
Cudder. The interface is absolute shit. It's clunky and inefficient. The only redeeming characteristic about it is that there's means to get around that inefficiency by pulling scripts from the interface. Your points only really work under the assumption that a larger group is working on it. However, honestly, there's only like 4, maybe 5, people actively working on it.

>>3964158
You already know the answer to that, what with having watched the anime and all. Right?

Right?

I think a real Suversion System with proper changing history tracking and editors to compare the changes you're about to commit with changes someone might've commited while you were editing, highlighting the parts that are different etc. would be best. It might be more work to set it up 1. on a server and 2. on everyone's respective computer though.

>>3964158
What do you mean by NIGHTMARE MODE? Like when shit starts happening to K1 or in general?

If I remember correctly Shion takes Mion to the dungeon after Watanagashi along with the village elder. Then Shion is the Mion from then on. You never see them together until the very end. And by that time Mion is already broken from torture/watching torturing.

>>3964175
How is it inefficient? You'll find it's even more inefficient if you spent time editing only to find someone else had already worked on the same part. And actually, there are over 10 anons who have contributed to it so far.

>>3964184
Doesn't sound like he has.

Not everyone has watched it, after all.
If that's the case with him then he's lucky that he doesn't already have the entire story spoiled.

>>3964193

I don't understand your obsession with inefficiency. So you're saying it's a net loss if someone does 50 lines at once, and they overwrite 15 lines that someone else did? What even are the chances of that happening? Have you checked the logs to see if all 10 anons tend to edit all at the same time? I'd be surprised if any more than 3 people worked on it at the same time.

>>3964184
Why the fuck would I watch the anime before I read the VN?

Thats worse than watching the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy before reading the books.

>>3964130
Anyways. Using the suggestion you made earlier, here's a handful of the edited tips for the first chapter. I mentioned that I'd be doing them earlier. I already did 02 using the interface, and I checked for changes, so it's cool. Cudder, can you take care of this?

Also, I'm skipping tip 07 and 17. So anyone else, go for it. I'll have the remaining tips done tonight.

http://www.mediafire.com/?wza1yiz432y

>>3964234
Er sorry, I meant tip 01.

>>3964234
Actually, fuck it. I'm done for the night. I'll check the changelogs and edit the remaining tips tomorrow.

I decided to do some of Tatarigoroshi on a whim. Almost done with the first script.

>>3964225
Well, most of us watched the anime a few years ago while it was still airing. Maybe you missed it.

>>3964234
I'll merge those in, but try to use the interface next time, OK?

bump

>>3964590
I started it, but dropped it after two arcs.

>>3965655
You are one lucky bastard.
I just finished the first arc and I finally knew why people said it the anime suck.
The way K1 go crazy is totally different from how it happened.

>>3965755
the manager had a meaning in the VVN, in the anime it came out of nowhere

I play with PS2 backgrounds because the original are an eyesore to the point I was afraid to get brain tumors. So I waited for the patch and now I'm enjoying the game with original sprites on superior backgrounds with more diverse BGM. Fucking awesome man

I've managed not to watch the anime and ignored all the peer pressure by fellow otakus. Now I feel so grateful since I can finally play the VN.

Compared to Umineko, there's no god-tier music, some of it sounds cliched though still effective. Higurashi is also more character-driven rather than Umineko's plot/mystery-driven. Rena, Mion, Satoko or Rika are easily more interesting as characters compared to Jessica, Ange, Maria or Beatrice (until further revelation).

Just finished Tatarigoroshi. The resolution is wow... unexpected. I wish I could jam it in inside Satoko. She's pure love and willing to fight for K1.

The part in Watanagashi with THE EYES was great and unexpected. I've seen the anime but the VN is still very enjoyable.

>>3965798
You should compare them to the real develpoed Umineko characters, the MILFs, also I find beato more interesting than the Higurashi girls

>>3965846
Agreed with that. Also the part in Onikakushi with "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." makes me bawww. If I'm K1 I'd already run and hug and cry and scream under the rain. Getting butchered to death afterward is fine at that point.

I don't know how I feel about the CG patch. Sure the PS2 art looks nicer, but the original art is how the story was intended to be shown. Same for voice patches...

>>3965924
The voice patches are really good, in Onikakushi they were quite interesting, they did a good job. even if the story wasn't intended, it's nopyional, you decide

>>3965924
Advise: custom so the game will be most enjoyed for you personally. If one choice bugs you more than the other, get rid of it.

>>3965924
It's not like the PS2 sprites are an unrelated fan project.
It's another release meant to present Higurashi to a lot of fucking people.
Silly inhibitions like that should not bother you.
Just ask yourself 'What do I want to look at for the next dozen hours'.

>>3965924
Advise: custom so the game will be most enjoyable for you personally. If one choice bugs you more than the other, get rid of it.

If you want to experience how the story was intended to be shown truly, don't play the translated version, seriously.

All of you are still hard at work editing Higurashi. Thank you for all your hard work. ^.^

>>3965950
I love you, Tomoyo.

No I love her first, fuck off.

You guys have no chance anyway, she belongs to Sakura. End of story

>>3966022
Death.

>>3966027
It's such a shame that Sakura's heart belongs to another.

Hows the music patch going?

I really want to hear dead end symphony before it's too late. (And have the awesome CGI cutscenes)

from where do you want to take the voices? thats retarded lol

Anybody got the Usoda sample clip?
I figured just adding that would do.

>>3966890
The voiced PS2 version, obviously.

>>3966890
it was madew for the onikakushi patch of Sonozaki futago, it was pretty good

>>3966890
The voice patch isn't done yet.

>>3967126
It is. It just hasn't been released publicly yet.

onik_015.txt: 866 / 1115. I doubt I'll be doing any more until after Christmas, so good luck to anyone who does.

Extract them with BGI tools as usual.

PS2 music patch was being worked on by Yuyucow. He released a beta version here : http://archive.easymodo.net/cgi-board.pl/jp/thread/3939631#p3943901

>>3968803
Thanks, anon.

HAVE YOU FIXED YOUR HIGURASHI TODAY?

>>3969200
Don't rush them.

>>3969219

Yeah it's a bunch of bmps and I am stupid and clueless as to how I should insert them into the game.

I want to do some text editing. What are good things to work on. I can't entirely tell from the editing history, as some chapters need more than others.

How far is MG's translation of this anyways? how many more missing?

>>3969434
Manga Gamer's translation cover the four question arc.

The four answer arcs are due out in Feb.

>>3969455
thanks, so I reckon they'll sell the next 4 separately?

>>3969478
They'll come together just like this batch did.

I will respectfully decline. Have a Merry Christmas~

Rika-chan likes me. I'm so happy! ^.^

DEM HANDS

>>3969612
Clap, clap, clap for you!

i think i'll begin playing when the voice patch is up. might as well play it in full features.

>>3969200
And if their translation of the answer arcs turns out to be of the same quality as this one... we know what to do, anon.

>>3969612

The problem is that CCS didn't exist in 1986.

>>3961254
So what happened with the sound effects correction patch?
I don't want toplay it with messed up sounds.

>>3969568
You no good whore.

>>3969712

I also want to know which ones MG messed up.

>>3969659
I am helping with the proof readin, so hopefully it will be better.

>>3969901
get out MG devs

>>3969659
Lolwut. Coherent effort?

Huh? I want to edit the file I just got through, but I can't find it. The one where he meets Shion for the first time. Anyone know what it is?

>>3971111
I dunno, lol.


Seriously, look at what's in data01000.arc. They're not there, at least in my copy.

Learn to use sage properly if you're going to post rubbish.

>>3971202
No.

>>3971202

Get out, stuck-up devs.

>>3971432
Haha no faggot!

Keiichi to making me rage a little bit here, doesn't he realize his friends are trying to cover for him? (Playing the third chapter now)

>>3971655
he's paranoid, like rena is tsumihoroboshi

>>3968803

Some CG are missing, like the one where K1 remembered what he did to Rena and Mion

>>3971655

It's not his fault, bro.

bampu~

>>3971655
Some scenes from ch3 mirror ch1 and ch2, like Satoko getting panicked because K1 holding a hatchet to Satoko screaming to get the demon away from possessing K1. AAAAAA.

>>3971690
I don't think there is a CG patch yet.

Tested adding CGs. Should be pretty easy when I go to do them. (This won't actually be here, by the way. I just needed a quick place to insert one to see how it'd work.)

>>3973155
Awesome. You have just rigged my erection, fine sir.

bumping

>>3971111

They don't exist. The script numbers reflect the day numbers in the jump menu, and Tatarigoroshi goes from Day 5 to Day 8.

>>3973155
I like the PS2 sprites but I find them a little lacking in...expression? Will the batshit ones like the one you posted be included?

>>3973155
This is excellent news. Also, posting a sprite error. Picture included, ch. 2 spoilers.

Post the Dessert Fiesta at Angel Mort, Sion and K1 are on a date. He has a little flashback, and this error comes up during that.

Er, my bad.

What is the general progress of the editing effort?

>>3973155
i love you, can't wait for patch release

>>3974220
Yes, the PS2 CGs that go with the original chapters (Onikakushi-Himatsubushi) will be added. This means psycho Rena and rape-face Mion.

Also, I seem to be having a problem with the original mangagamer images that are inside data02000.arc. After extracting them with arcextract, they are in tlg format, aren't they? Or is there something else I must do to make them editable? In return have delicious non-ham-handed Ryukishi art.

I, er. I don't think ALL the files are there. I just looked through all of Wata and Tata, and the conversation where K1 meets Shion is nowhere to be found.

Yeah. They aren't there. In fact, any file involving any of the dialogue with Shion in Arc 2 isn't there. This is incomplete.

>>3975228
This is strange. I extracted all of the scripts from data01000.arc and hid the ones which don't have any scene text. Perhaps the text is on one of the CGs?

>>3975329
I'm talking about large segments of text that simply are not there. Anything involving the slice of life Shion dialogues is absent, and I think the cooking competition in chapter 2 is absent two. These scripts all have the lead in's to huge event, but do not actually have the events themselves.

I'd give you an example, but the site is down.

>>3975329
Also, Cudder, for ease of use, can you put an asterisk or something by files that have been looked at once already, so we don't have to click 40 buttons to find a starting point. Furthermore, might I suggest that we move files that have been, decided by, perhaps by a democratic method, deemed "finished". One of the concerns you expressed is that since multiple people will be looking at the same file, the editing direction could perhaps deviate from the original material, and editors fixing other editors fuck ups could make things convoluted pretty fast. There's no real direction at all, so I'd suggest that we move to finalize the files we're working on. Also, segmentation of files by chapter would be kind of nice, but it's a minor thing really. Once you get the remaining files extracted, god knows how big the list will be.

>>3975368
It's up, but the DNS servers are a little flaky. Add "38.99.70.199 editorashi.oxyhost.com" to your HOSTS file to get around this.

Alright, Cudder. Take this for example.

1. Wata_003.txt The lead in to the cooking competition.
2. (In game, the cooking competition happens here.
3. (In game, post competition, there is a discussion with Rena and Mion as they walk home)
3. (In game, Sion will visit K1's house to give him a lunchbox since he skipped lunch at the competetion.)
4. (In game, K1 will watch TV, have a little internal monologue, then go to bed)
5. wata_004.txt picks up right here. It starts with the beginning of P.E. Class the next day, where Rika says she can't participate because she's sick.

The contents in between 1. and 5. Are completely and totally unaccounted for.

These scripts, as far as I can see, are lead ins to major events for the first part (only talking about Chapter 2, haven't looked into 1 yet). And all of the major events are totally omitted. I can guarantee you that Chapter 2 isn't 1500~ lines long like the script files here would suggest. There is a shit ton of completely omitted content.

>>375443
>In game, Sion will visit K1's house to give him a lunchbox since he skipped lunch at the competetion
http://editorashi.oxyhost.com/transproj.PHP?proj=editorashi&file=wata_003.txt&start=900

???

>>3975443
are you talking about lines 1-5 in wata_004.txt? I can see those just fine.

>>3975454
Could you be more specific with which files you're referring to? If you're talking about watanagashi, I've been editing the first five or so files, and I haven't noticed anything missing.

>>3975474
Oh, disregard that. I suck cocks. I didn't realize it showed 100 lines at a time. Hahahaha, oh wow.

>>3975484

>>3975443

>>3975480 here. Misunderstood your post; never mind me. Second quote holds, however.

>>3975490
I'm taking Wata_012 with me for tonight, so please don't modify that file.

>>3974867
Still waiting on this. Keep up the good work anons.

The site's been working fine the past couple of days, but since a few minutes ago, I can't edit things. I tried editing wata_007 and wata_008 recently, and got the top error in the picture when I tried to edit, and when I went back to the file, it looked like the bottom part. What's going on?

>>3975530
Update. I tried editing wata_009 and it worked fine. However, both 007 and 008 are still blank. I can see the original scripts, but I can't see the editable ones.

>>3968803
>>3971690


Someone has the remaining CG?


I'd like to see again the one with Rena asking to K1 to belive in them before he kill her.

And still, nobody has made a CG patch.

>>3975585
they're working on it. Patience, anon. It'll be a while.

How soon you think CG patch would be ready? I'm not trying to rush you or anything, but just curious if it's worth waiting for before continuing.

>>3975530

The host appears to be having some issues. We'll move to a different one if it continues to be like this. Meanwhile, I've replaced wata_007 and redone the (0) changes to it.

I'll add a redirect on REchan so that you can always find where the project gets hosted.

>>3975682
Alright, thanks.

>>3975608
Yeah, I'm pretty pumped for the finished product. It's going to be really nice.

Any word on voices in the mean time?

I had a thought: is it possible our edits will mess up the word wrapping in the script? I see the occasional newline character, and since our edits change the number of characters in a line, wouldn't that put those newlines in the wrong place?

>>3975728
There's only one person capable of doing that. And he probably won't work with MG's translation because it's quite bad and the amount of work would increase a lot.

>>3975880
Don't you think the group who was working on it prior will give it up though? "Professional courtesy" only goes so far after all. Plus, given that they do finish, the answer arc will already be out, and the hype that's generating this momentum will cease. To be honest, you might as well be saying "all hope is lost".

Argh. There was another error with wata_007 and it's uneditable again. Does this error make 007 uneditable for everyone, or just me? Can someone check?

>>3975900

Silly anon. A miracle will occur.

>>3975815
Unlike many Japanese VN engines, BGI will wordwrap properly, so that shouldn't be a cause for concern. In fact, MG's script has too many newlines...

>>3975942
That, or a C&D.

>>3975938
This is what happened when I tried to restore.

tl;dr: our host is fucked. I'm looking for a new one and will move. For the while, download the "latest versions" of the files to work on, and DO NOT TRY TO SUBMIT ANYTHING.

Have the two sprite errors reported been fixed yet?
Also, the issue with some of the PS2 BG's not carrying over into the patch. If they haven't been looked into/fixed, might I suggest making a to-do list?

>>3976017
Fffff, I want to pull Wata08-10 but I can't.

>>3976030
They're still accessible from here. I'm looking for a new host right now and should have the system operational on the new host within an hour.

>>3976042
Take advantage of this opportunity to segment the files into 4 chapters

>>3976042
A mechanism to pull all the latest scripts, for the sake of personal backup, would be pretty nice too.

>>3976046
explain?

>>3976102
Oh, it's a small task. Just separate the files from the 4 different scenarios into the corresponding section. It would be nice if we didn't have to scroll through 150 files every time we wanted to edit.

So are the inserted CGs going to have their own patch, or will they be added to either the sprite or background patches?

Let's see if this one will hold up. !w4lolitaKs is using it for the Hatsukoi project and it's been doing well for the past 3 months.

>>3976018

If you're talking about >>3974736, I think I remember reading that this "error" was actually part of the background, although I could be mistaken.

I'll be doing some Tatarigoroshi again tonight. Probably tata_05. Just a heads up for other editors.

Are we going with Sion or Shion?

Refer to >>3975880

There is a known way to make the voice patch via an automated process. Alternatively, anyone could do the grunt work involved in manually making it.

Also, we have yet to make a perfect music patch.

>>3976941

REtrans International provides leading-edge localization solutions for translation groups to increase their productivity and lower costs of ownership while increasing return-on-investment. How may we help?

Referring to the Tweaking Higurashi Page (Which is now severely outdated), remaining items on the "To Do List" are:

Port PS2 Voices: Some dude knows how to do this, but won't because of the extra effort it involves. At least not until either A) He's given up hope on the fan-made patch that's been in development for a while. (Or if it's release, not gonna happen) -or- B) There is news on that site confirming that they will not be completing the project.

Port PS2 Music: Someone needs to come up with a matching track list for the 36 tracks MG release uses. (Done or not?)

Port CGs: Work in Progress. Can the Anon working on this give us an update? Some errors may come up, and there are a few missing CGs that are unaccounted for.

Backport game to ONScripter: If we want to get a voice patch sooner than later, this needs to happen. But it probably won't.

Proofread and edit MG script: WIP as we speak. Still has no general statistics for progress

Port minigames, music box, staff room: Did people completely forget about this? I think most just gave it up.

Replace SFX with the originals (Not done):
First we need a list of matches beetwen the original and the lsysXY files MG release uses. Then it's just a matter to convert the originals to OGG, use BWCreate from BGItools to convert them and rename them so they match MG files. After that, copying them to the dir will suffice. An already organized sfx track list may be found inside the 0.txt script of the original game.

the ps2 music does not directly correlate to PC music outside of a few tracks. Most of it's a matter of taste, really. I have a mix of ps2 and PC music on mine, and I tweak it every now and again.

>>3976992
Where is 0.txt? I have a copy of the original game, and I can't find it anywhere.

>>3977076
Mind uploading it when you're satisfied?

It'll be a while before I'm 'satisfied', so here's my current list. It's basically the partial ps2 music patch with 3-4 different tracks.

How's the new site working out for everyone? It's a lot faster for me.

>>3977369
Thanks bro. When you finish the game, could you upload the final result? Given the fact that you've experimented with it, I'm assuming you'll probably have the best notion about how to go about making the final version/variation of the patch.

Also, does anyone have the two soundtracks uploaded? I know the ONScripter one is going to be easy to come by, but I have no clue where to find the PS2 ones. We should also probably upload the original sfx.

On top of that:
>At least not until either A) He's given up hope on the fan-made patch that's been in development for a while.
I don't see that happening. The Sonozaki twins translation nonsense is authorized by Ryu07 to conduct their translation, and when MG tried to get a C&D, they were, apparently, shut down by him. Furthermore, on the site, it's said "We'll hold any patches until next year, out of "professional courtesy"" suggesting that they could have potentially had a release this year, but canceled it. However, a betatester said he hasn't gotten anything, so they might just be full of shit. Really, who knows.

>>3977146
And with updating that site. I don't know who's in charge of it, but I remember that it was a temp set up, so it may be abandoned by now. I'd encourage anyone who can update it, or who'd be willing to host a new site to post all of the patches, as well as the music and sound files mentioned above, and any lists/progress/information that might be in the benefit of whatever patch it's correlated with.

>>3977407
Oxyhost is shit. Anything's better than that.

>>3977369

How partial is it?

>>3977410
Sure, I'll be happy to.

I remember links to the soundtracks in a few threads. Search around easymodo, and you should find them. I'd upload them myself, but it took long enough for the other one and I need to go to bed.

>>3977407
New site's doing fine. It does seem a little faster.

>>3977413
You could even say that Oxyhost accounts oxidize after a while.

Reporting a BG error, chapter 2 light spoilers.


1. During the fiesta and after the fiesta, the game spontaneously changes the bg from night to day and to night again.
2. When Mion, Rena, and K1 check out Rika's house, the BG shifts from Sunset, to Night, even though it is night.

>>3977410
I'll run through the archives and post a link repository, and whatever else. That's not a big deal, I'll get to it tomorrow.

>>3977410
There's an email on the bottom of the site. The anon running it might just need a few prods from that to do an update.

Keep thread alive

>>3977438
Dude, you're such a bro. I got to the scene where (CH2 Major spoilers):K1 is talking to "Shion" after the detective tells him she's missing. That orchestral piece that plays was the original music. So I figured I'd give your patch a try to see if it changed, and, lay lo' and behold. Thanks man.

This thread is almost autosaging...

>>3977045
Have you found the gameplay for the beginning of watanagashi?

>anon doing MG's job for them.
Nice.

>>3978454

Let's save the thread, and burn it down, and put up the new portraits.

>MG doing anon's job for them.
MG's work is good but not enough, so now anon will show everyone how to get it done properly.

>>3976992
I assuming your talking about me with the CG patch, that's not quite true. I am essentially backporting the game to onscripter by making a patch for the original game using MG's translated script, editing as I insert lines. I will only be adding CGs and other PS2 things to my patch once it's done, and release different versions of it. I'm thinking:

Original - Only (necessary) translated graphics + script
PS2 Sprite - Original with PS2 sprites only - CGs optional
PS2 BG - Original with PS2 BGs only
PS2 Full GFX - Original with PS2 sprites and BGs - CGs optional
PS2 Complete - Original with PS2 sprites, BGs, and BGM - CGs optional

CGs optional means there'll be 2 nscript.dat files included, one named nscript.dat (without CGs) and one named addCGs.dat, which when renaming nscript.dat to something else and changing addCGs.dat to nscript.dat will, well, add the CGs.

>>3978262
Glad you like it. That was actually the last track I replaced; I did it yesterday. Most new music from there on out should be PC music though, since I just finished that scene myself.

>>3979332
wouldn't it make sense to make an installer if there are so many different options?

>>3979475
we may eventually do that once we get it all done.

Okay, this is fucking ridiculous.

I've been trying to make the sfx patch. I seem incapable of making an ogg that bwcreate will accept. I converted all the PC wavs to oggs in THE EXACT SAME WAY, and bwcreate accepts only three of them. The others return a "Could not find required information to convert this Ogg into a BGI Ogg" error.
I could've had this patch done last night if I didn't keep running into this error. Does anyone know what bwcreate is looking for in an ogg?

>>3979332
That's perfect. How is that going along?
