Uninstall it

Go read this book instead.

I garuntee you it will be a much better experience.

Had same problem with Tsukihime PLUS disk. Uninstalling helped.

Play Tsukihime.

Also, SEIBAAAAA thread.

You don't have eastern character support installed. Good luck finding an XP CD.

?You are installing it using the patch, and not the auto run screen?

>>702741

>good luck

lol, torrents don't exist mirite

>>702734
I tried that already. I did not like it.

You are installing it using the patch, and not the auto run screen, right?

If you don't have the east English language pack, download it (I believe Microsoft's site has it)

>>702743
Wait, how should I be doing it?
>>702741
can't read em either way, so I didn't bother.

>>702744

You won't enjoy F/SN then, just forget it.

Fucking seriously.

>>702752
I've enjoyed things that are similar to A Game of Thrones. If it's beginning wasn't so bogged down, I might have enjoy the book itself a bit better.

>>702744

Do you even like the fantasy genre at all then?

>>702754
1.) When you mount the disc, an install screen should auto run, DO NOT RUN THIS INSTALLER, go to the patch and use that to install it

2.) Doesn't matter if you can read it or not, some things won't run without this

>>702759

Oh, right, so you're pissed that the civil war only starts about half way in.

Jesus christ, do you faggots need fight scenes every 5 minutes to stay interested?

>>702750
Wait, the game isn't working because I was too lazy to download character support?

>>702760
I don't actually like fight scenes. I didn't like it because it didn't get anywhere, and it was just "Here's character X, he'll be important later".

yeah? Well Character Y is interesting now, why don't we talk about him?

"No, Character X is going to be more important"

But he's not right now...

>>702765
You fucking retard.

>>702774

So you don't like changed perspectives?

It's not like any of them are significantly HUGELY important in comparison, everyone does shit that has effects on everyone else.

>>702782
Not everyone plays Visual Novels.

Downloading character support was something I didn't need, so I didn't do it. Am I to believe you have character support for Arabic?

>>702765
Yes

>>702796
If I was going to be playing an Arabic Visual Novel I sure as fuck would have character support for Arabic.

>>702765
protip, for most visual novels that weren't released in English, you need moon support on your system.

>>702788
It wasn't that he switched characters, it was how. Also, I don't think I liked his writing style all that much.

Or the fact that all of his characters had fanciful faux European names like Eddard, and then modern nicknames like Ned.

>>702734
Any chance there is a pdf version of this?

>>702750
>If you don't have the east English language pack, download it (I believe Microsoft's site has it)
Wait, are you sure? I thought you didn't need that with MESSAAAAGE's UBW installer?

Then again, everyone should have the Asian language pack, what's wrong with you people?

>>702803

>It wasn't that he switched characters, it was how.

You've lost me.

What's different about the way it's done?

>Also, I don't think I liked his writing style all that much.


Lol, and visual novels are better?

>Or the fact that all of his characters had fanciful faux European names like Eddard, and then modern nicknames like Ned.

>>702815

And there aren't any other examples of that anyway

>>702814
You don't need applocale, you do however need moon support

even if you run it on a 98 SE (lol Message), you need a jap version.

>>702815
>visual novels are better?
Visual novels can have mediocre shit writing because they have the addition of fancy pictures, music and LOL IMMERISININO

If you wrote a book with the average writing quality of a VN it would be so painful to read.

>>702825


>Visual novels can have mediocre shit writing because they have the addition of fancy pictures, music and LOL IMMERISININO

Not really, no.

Shit writing is shit writing. If you can get over it in VNs, I have no reason to see why someone couldn't get over writing style for actual books, unless it's UNSPEAKABLY HORRIBLE, which martin doesn't go under.

>>702815
I mean "how" in that he switched to a new character each chapter, and he had about twenty characters. By the time he got back to Character A, I really didn't care anymore. And he did "What will happen to A?! Don't know, let's go see B".

And I meant writing style as in the way he writes. Hell, I gave up and moved onto Dresden Files. Modern day Chicago and wizards aren't even my cup of tea, but Butcher could probably write a cook book and make it interesting.

>>702832
It wasn't horrible, I just didn't like the pacing. Everything was too slow to be jumping around like that.

Not to mention that he seemed to just put in nudity for his own sake...

>>702841
>Not to mention that he seemed to just put in nudity for his own sake.
Sounding kinda eroge here, book.

>>702833

>I mean "how" in that he switched to a new character each chapter, and he had about twenty characters. By the time he got back to Character A, I really didn't care anymore. And he did "What will happen to A?! Don't know, let's go see B".


There are 8 of them. One is killed off, and one gets a tiny amount of chapters in comparison.

Your complaints are overexxagerated. And to be quite frank, there are only one or two instances in the novel where cliffhangers are used at the end of a chapter for a particular character.

>And I meant writing style as in the way he writes.

No shit sherlock. I'm saying VNs are written MUCH WORSE, and if you can't put up with Martin you're really looking in the wrong place.


> Hell, I gave up and moved onto Dresden Files. Modern day Chicago and wizards aren't even my cup of tea, but Butcher could probably write a cook book and make it interesting.

>>702841

>It wasn't horrible, I just didn't like the pacing. Everything was too slow to be jumping around like that.

You've just proved my point, you'd prefer ACTSHUN. The plot isn't exactly slow, it's merely detailed and intricate.


>Not to mention that he seemed to just put in nudity for his own sake...

LOL, and you want to play an H game? Have you forgotten how people call these kinds of things PORN WITH PLOT?

>>702846
yeah, yeah, I know. But when the normally so reserved queen starts walking around naked because it's a national emergency is a bit Deus Sex Machina.

>>702848
I didn't say they weren't overexaggerated. I just said they were complaints.

>>702825
Visual endings also have the advantage of displaying one sentence at a time. I'm sure most people who grew up with the web don't read perfectly linearly, but skip forwards and back sometimes. I recently read An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge and the ending was weakened by accidentally reading it too soon. VNs don't have this problem.

>>702852
I don't need Action, but I'd like some dialogue that is more important at the moment.

And yes, I realize I'm playing an eroge. Martin's scenes just seemed thrown in.

>>702854

>yeah, yeah, I know. But when the normally so reserved queen starts walking around naked because it's a national emergency is a bit Deus Sex Machina.

Oh give me a fucking break. Are you expecting her to get dressed after having sex, THEN going to sleep?

>I didn't say they weren't overexaggerated. I just said they were complaints.

Then your complaints are pretty dumb, seeing as I already pointed out cliffhangers are barely used throughout, and in fact, in numerous occaisons, the story of another character is progressed through a differnet one.

You're just failing to see that the book tells 3 stories, not one.

>>702858

>I don't need Action, but I'd like some dialogue that is more important at the moment.

In other words, you don't like realistic characters that don't always ONLY talk about major plot devices.

>And yes, I realize I'm playing an eroge. Martin's scenes just seemed thrown in.

And they aren't in h games?

At least he writes better sex scenes than Nasu does.

>>702857

That is one of the most retarded advantages I have ever heard of.

>>702869
You probably read really slowly

>>702878

if anything, I read really fast.

I have NEVER had that problem.

>>702859
No. I'm saying that having them have just finished sex was so that Martin could imagine her naked. It's Author Appeal. It's like Heinlein writing about red heads.
And jeez, what's with all this? Must I read Martin? I planned on going back to the book one of these days anyway.

>>702863
I don't want them to speak only of the plot.
I just didn't like the writing, alright? I hear he deconstructs all these tropes, but so far all I see is him using them.

>>702885

>No. I'm saying that having them have just finished sex was so that Martin could imagine her naked. It's Author Appeal. It's like Heinlein writing about red heads.

Again, h games are better?

If it really irritates you enough to STOP READING the damn thing, you should NOT be playing eroge, fucking seriously.

>And jeez, what's with all this? Must I read Martin? I planned on going back to the book one of these days anyway.

No, but if you're going to critique him, have some valid examples that don't make you look hypocritical.

>I don't want them to speak only of the plot.

Then why are you clamouring about discussions that merely flesh out characters for who they are?

>>702897
I never said that that's why I stopped reading. You're reading too much into what I'm saying. I said I didn't like it, I was asked why, I gave a few reasons. I didn't say they were incredibly horrible things, I just said I didn't like them. I ultimately stopped reading because I didn't like the author's writing. Not because characters were fleshed out, not because there was so many PoV changes in so few chapters. I just didn't like it that much and decided to read something else.

One day I plan to go back and finish it. It was not so bad that I would never again read it. I said "I didn't like it", not that I hated it. It was not exceptional, but it was not bad. It was average for me, and incited no emotion.

It was not a bad book, I just didn't enjoy it. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's a good book, and I will probably enjoy it when I come back to it. But at this point in time I did not enjoy it. Do not take this personally. I am not decrying your intelligence or claiming you have bad tastes. I am simply saying that my tastes differ from yours on this subject, and possibly and most likely many other subjects as well

>>702913

>I never said that that's why I stopped reading.

Then don't use it as a freaking example of why you disliked it, because anything that you dislike from it contributes to why you would stop reading.


>I ultimately stopped reading because I didn't like the author's writing. Not because characters were fleshed out, not because there was so many PoV changes in so few chapters

Those are PARTS OF WRITING STYLE
Honestly, you keep clamouring for LOL SHUT UP ABOUT IT ALREADY, but why do you continue to make such horrid contradictions? I'd go as far as to say you actually haven't read it, because you haven't picked at a single valid part of his writing yet.

Now that we have that business sorted out, Saber image dump while I install moonspeak.

>>702918
Writing style as in "the way he structures his sentences, plot threads, and dialogue." Yes, PoV changes and character flesh is part of writing style. Again though, it is -how- he did it. I did not care for the way he wrote. It was not "Oh God this sucks" it was "meh, I'll come back to this". It was a simple thing of me not being interested at the time. And if you must know, I stopped reading at about the point were Bran was pushed off the roof. A little after that I decided that since I was just letting the book sit around and not reading it, that I should just return the book and come back to it later before I owed the library any more money.

Now, I'm going to post Saber. Please stop asking me why I didn't finish the book.

This thread is hilarious.

Feel free to join in any time, by the way.

>>702944

>Writing style as in "the way he structures his sentences, plot threads, and dialogue."

which you have failed to further explain on at all.

>Again though, it is -how- he did it.

And this...

>And if you must know, I stopped reading at about the point were Bran was pushed off the roof.

You picked probably the worst possible moment to quit reading.

I am honstly not joking, that's probably the point where the book picks up.

>>702954
I think so too.

WHy do you even have so many pictures of a character from a game you never played?


It's fucking st-oh wait, this is /jp/

>>702959
AGRIAS HIJACK LOL

so moe i died

>>702957
Yes, I've heard that's were the book picks up. But on the graph of Fine and Interest, Fine was winning. Like I said though, I'm going to pick the book up again.

And really, perhaps the reason I can't defend my point beyond vagaries is because I stopped reading it months ago. I've read quite a few books since then, and I can't be expected to remember what I didn't find interesting about one from the tail end of things.

Why does this upset you so much?

>>702960
There is this thing called the anime

>>702960
Paladin threads in /tg/. I like the character design, so I started collecting them and decided to actually play the game.

>>702961
Agrias is Saber from an alternate reality.

>>702979
I'm not going to lie, I haven't seen that either.

>>702970

>And really, perhaps the reason I can't defend my point beyond vagaries is because I stopped reading it months ago. I've read quite a few books since then, and I can't be expected to remember what I didn't find interesting about one from the tail end of things.

They can't have been that much of a problem at all if you can't remember them.

>Why does this upset you so much?

It doesn't. I'm merely questioning you because I am bored shitless right now and your complaints were all extremely misinformed.
Admittedly said author is one of my personal high preferences, but not my favourite by any means.

>>702988
I can't remember it because it left no impression on me. That was the problem.

>I'm merely questioning you because I am bored shitless right
Oh... in that case continue.

>>702980

>I like the character design

I'm really not seeing what's so appealing.

The fact she has a semi sensible get up shouldn't be a plus, it should be a REQUIREMENT.

>>702988
Can my opinions really be considered "misinformed" if I got the information from myself?

>>702997

>I can't remember it because it left no impression on me. That was the problem.

Obviously it did because you're remembering some of it, and apparently found it impressionable enough to recall that you distinctly did not enjoy reading it.

>>703003

If you judge the entire of the book off by the fragment you read and deem overexxagerate those points, and claim they apply to the author's writing ENTIRELY, yes.

>>703002
Dress+Breatplate+Tasset. It's pretty much that. And the hair thing that I can't remember the proper name for. Ahoge?

>>703007
The impression it left was one of "meh, I'll come back to this". The memory was only stirred up when I was told to read it.

>>703016

>The impression it left was one of "meh, I'll come back to this". The memory was only stirred up when I was told to read it.

Annnd that's an impression.

When compared to;

>it left no impression on me

Which was said about 2 posts ago, really doesn't add any leeway to your arguments.

>>703009
Like I said, the fines outweighed the interest. I wasn't judging the book on just that fragment. I merely said "I did not like it". It seems it was assumed that I hated it. I just didn't feel like finishing it at the time. It doesn't mean I wont ever like it. When I was younger I didn't like The Horse and His Boy, from the Chronicles of Narnia. Recently though, I reread it and enjoyed it. It's not a bad book, it's just got slow pacing.

It's still on my list though. Uh, Game of Thrones, not Horse and His Boy. I'm going to go back to it, probably soon. Just not right now.

>>703016

>Dress+Breatplate+Tasset

Lenneth Valkyrie had that shit going on ages before Saber.

>>703026

>I wasn't judging the book on just that fragment.

Then...why stop reading it? Obviously you assumed it would be more of the same, and thus wouldn't interest you and thus stopped reading.

I can't imagine why else you would have.

>>703021
Fine then, instead of leaving no impression, it left very little impression.
And it's not supposed to give leeway to my argument. I'm not even arguing, I'm just giving reasons why it didn't interest me.

I just didn't like it as much as I could have, my library fines were piling up, and so I turned it back in and checked out White Night of the Dresden Files. It was a good, fun book to read. From there I moved onto Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn and it's sequel, Well of Ages. They were also good, fun books. Hell, Well of Ages was an interesting read because it was pretty much a whole book of the main characters, now rulers of a city, sitting in the Keep with three armies at the gates going "Ah shit, we're fucked." and still coming out of it alive.

>>703031
Lenneth doesn't wear a tasset. But I liked her design as well, and she even has a helmet.

>>703040
because the fragment wasn't good, and fines were piling up. So, yeah, I guess I did judge it on a fragment, but I didn't toss it away in disgust, I just put it aside.

>>703056

Uh, yes she does.

>>703049

>And it's not supposed to give leeway to my argument. I'm not even arguing, I'm just giving reasons why it didn't interest me.


And you are arguing the validity of those reasons.

>

I fail to see how this is relevant

>>703060

>So, yeah, I guess I did judge it on a fragment, but I didn't toss it away in disgust, I just put it aside.

Same thing ultimately.

>>703075
That's not a tasset, this is a tasset </Crocodile Dundee>

>I fail to see how this is relevant
It's not.

The fuck is going on here?
Run it in applocale, choose the last language or simply install the language packs

Arthur? More like King GARthur, amirite?

>>703087

>That's not a tasset, this is a tasset </Crocodile Dundee>


>Tasset
>One of a series of jointed overlapping metal splints hanging from a corselet, used as armor for the lower trunk and thighs.

>ONE OF A SERIES

>ONE

It's a tasset.

>It's not.

>>703092
what's applocale? The instructions I was given said it wasn't needed.

>>703101

Hurr durr google.

>>703102
I think you misunderstood me. I was implying that because it's not big and noticeable that it's not a tasset. Much like how Crocodile Dundee claimed that the person's knife wasn't a knife because it wasn't big and noticeable.

And I brought it up because.

>>703106
Why trudge through google when I can just ask the person who brought it up and get the Cliffnotes?

And like I said, I was told it wasn't needed.

>>703118

>trudge

It's the first fucking result

You'd get it faster there than here

>>703113

I've never watched those movies.

But regardless, she has a tasset.

Edward is my new favorite tripfag.

>>703134

Sup Edward

>>703122
I prefer people to pages. But fine, applocale, google.

>>703134
Why do I get the feeling that's not a compliment?

>>703141

the results you'll get from the links on MS's site or wikipedia were written by people.

>>703143
Yes, but they're static

>>703143
Also, reading the page it seems to me that now that I've installed character support, Applocale is useless to me.

>>703146
GET IN THE FUCKING CAR!

>>703146

And Anonymous is different how?

>>703152
It's slightly less static.

>>703157

Not significantly enough to immediatly value it higher even though it is actually nearly probable to not get a response.

it may not be on the same level as bugging a real person, but it's still more dynamic than a webpage.

>>703165

How is it anymore dynamic? If an Anon gave a reply that answered the question, it is highly unlikely that said Anon will respond to anything else pertaining the question, unless you claim his information is inaccurate.

You type stuff in, you get an answer, there is nothing else.

Exactly the same.

>>703178
It's much faster than anything else though. If I have a question about the website I can only look around the website or email the owner.

Here I can just say "Hey, what's the deal with X?"

And, it seems though that I'll need Applocale anyway, because East Asian character support is not supporting...

>Edward !F8wHraWURw

You care far too much far what's in the name field.

Does this make you happier?

>>703189

>It's much faster than anything else though. If I have a question about the website I can only look around the website or email the owner.

No, you could just google it again.

Look, nobody even GAVE you an answer to your question, if you'd typed "applocale" in google instead of posting, it would have been much faster.

>>703209
Yes, but...

You know what... fine. I did.

Alright, back. Downloaded Applocale and everything.
I've got the thing running perfectly now, no error messages or anything.

One problem though, it's still in Japanese, and no amount of patching seems to do anything.

>>702734
Nothing to do with this thread but I just finished A Storm of Swords, it was fucking amazing, A Song of Ice and Fire as a whole is quickly becoming one of my favorite Fantasy series.
Now to go buy A Feast for Crows.

>>703750

Mirrormoon are such faggots really.

>>703750
delete your fucking installation of Fate/Stay Night and run the translation patch.

lol, after all this time you still can't figure it out?

>>703795
Again?!

SO let me get this straight, I have to uninstall it again, run the patch and then run the install again? That's what I did though.

Do I need to do anything different if I'm using applocale?

>>703813
if there is no fate game on your hard drive the patch will ask you to insert your game cds and install the game and the patch at the same time.

>>703801
it's not exactly intuitive, and there's no readme.

>>703750
The patch creates a new folder with a new .exe. You should not use the original.

It's not asking me for the disc...

>not exactly intuitive

>>703871
Yeah. I'm not getting that forth screen.

My mouse is clicking five times for the one though, so I'll go do things muuuuuch sloooower. I don't think it would skip over it that often though.

>>703871
And now that I download it straight from the site instead of /rs/, I don't even have the right patch.

>>703900
did you delete fate/stay night folder from your computer? if you did i dont know what the fuck is going on. do you have vistaids?

>>703911
I did delete it, and I don't have Vistaids.

I went to the actual Mirrormoon site and downloaded it, not trusting /rs/ anymore. Finally asked for the CD. I'm assuming I had the wrong one, or the wrong version or something

>>703930
you probably had just the fate route patch which is full of aids apparently but i never had problems with it.

>>703879

At least it confirms that /jp/ is pseudo-/g/, not /touhou/.

i saw this error when i did not use AppLocale when patch 2.0 was not out yet...
try running it in japanese "mode"
