I might help you but screenshots will be better than the transcription.

I'll repost them, there was another guy who wanted something translated but I don't have the pictures for that transcript.

end of text

This game is really out there. I'm stuck at the first part, because I can't read Japanese. It's very neat though.

Excuse me, I speak Japanese, and I keep seeing people write "Chu-teng" for these kanji 中天. When I read this it says Chuuten. Is there any reason why people like OP are writing "Chu-teng"?

>>880987
The game is named "Chu-Teng", even though it is Chuuten. I think "Chu-Teng" is how it would be in Chinese, using the same kanji.

Wait, I missed the last thread. Has the game already been found?

What about Garage?

>>880903
>>880896

Reposting the screenshots of >>880856

I understand your glee, OP. But

>new chu-teng thread since apparently the old one 404'd

http://archive.foolz.us/vr/thread/877493/#q880674

This makes me believe that you deleted the old thread on purpose. It's not really that hard to keep threads alive on /vr/, and considering that the last one was alive just barely an hour ago suggests you deleted it (unless mods decided it wasn't videogames... but that would be kind of asinine since they clearly are).

Try to keep your thread alive for at least 300 posts before considering making a new thread. Unless you want your threads to be as hated as Dendy threads.

>>881005
The game was found like 3 threads ago.

>>881015
What? The two threads before that one went to 700 replies.

>>881008

>>881008
WHY OSAMU WHY?

>>881019

Who is コアン (koan)?

>>881027

>>880903

To the Suinshin in the heaven's palace
give me your power.
You can listen to him somehow.
You have to do it for me, Im invisible now.

*Translation seems weird, but I had to change some expressions to get some sense in english for them.

>>881017
Well I was away for a week. Guess I'll have to look 'em up on Foolz.

>>880987
>eak Japanese, and I keep seeing people write "Chu-teng" for these kanji 中天. When I read this it says Chuuten. Is there any reason why people like OP are writing "Chu-teng"?

Sato games often use weird readings on some chacters, Eastern Mind is often referred as Tong Nou 東脳. Still, the chinese reading for Chuuten will be Zhong tian.

>>880906

Suinshin might be sleeping
because the lack of lighting.
If that happens, giving him light would be a good idea.

>>880909

Suinshin likes Shin singing voice.
But I hate it. He/she likes hunting, reading and praying too.
Oh, he/she also likes Maichiu food.

>>881015
i didn't make the old threads

>>880912

When returning to the Moon Palace
Look at the moonlight that fills all the Heaven Palace.
I hate that moonlight

>>881198
>Look at

*Look for/find

>>881198
Thanks for translating. After you translate >>881008 and below (if you are), can you translate this? It's Shin's character profile.

>>881217
Also this. It's Maichiu's character profile.

So what exactly is the story as to how it was finally found? Did someone buy it off an online auction?
Is the game actually fun?

And now that this treasure was finally found, what next?

>>880856

Koan can become either light or darkness
Sacred Koan is burning and shining in the Sun Palace.

That's why there is no light other than Taiyan's light in the Sun Palace.
Before evolving into light everyone burns
irradiated by Taiyan.

You will burn too in the Sun Palace.
Go right from here, Go to the planet on the left
Jump on the planet on the left wall.

That's the only way out from the Sun Palace.
But if you have a frog feather*it will take you
to the exit.

*note: still I might have lots of mistakes because I never played the game and lots of this things require some context.

>>881412
The "feather" is the item that looks like a blunt, if you use it it transports you out of the sun palace.

>>881423
Oh, also it's not really a sun place. More like Sun Shrine/world/place. And I can't remember where I got that item from.

>>881450
not really a sun palace*

>>881517
>Heaven Temple

*Star temple

>>881217

Shin

habitat and role

He is a bird that sits and wanders in the "?" room in Heaven Temple. Suinshin likes his singing voice, but everytime he sings he steals light from the temple. Kamideoniha (seems like the name of some skill or spell)

>>881224

Heaven temple light. "?" room.

He is the chef in charge of the temple.

Personality

Since she met "??" she was inspired to show
him her feelings cooking. She can't cook when he is offended.

Can you guys pls post more pics?

Or even better,tell me how to run this "game" in my PC with Win 7.

Why no one makes YT videos about this game.

The world needs to know about this!

>>881628
Be careful. Before you know it, Pewdiepie or whatever his name is will play it.

>>881627
Thank you.

>>881517

the first two videos are from my channel

I don't understand why Osamu Sato did things like this?

It was because it seemed like a cool idea or something?

>>881672
He's creative. And it is a cool/creative idea, if you're implying it's not. (imo)

Have we the plot yet ?

>>881696
The plot is to collect all of Nanshu's face parts (see OP image) and get to Ge-teng(?)(outer heaven). You are stuck in Chu-teng (mid-heaven).

Wait!

the fact that we found an extremely rare game and uploaded it to the internet...doesn't make the game "common"?

What's the point of having the game then?

>>881735
it doesn't make the game common because there are still very little copies of the game in the world

>>881735

Someone found this thread speaking broken english, and uploaded it.

Still credit to /vr/.

Just so you know Osamu Sato is a corporate designer in promotional material, not a game designer.

The level of hyperventilating happening with his games reminds me of pretorn jeans.

If he were to see these threads he would think youre all mostly retarded.

>>881820
>stop having fun

>>881820
He directed Eastern Mind, Chu-teng and LSD.

>>881820

You clearly have not played LSD:DE.

>>880987

That's how it appears in the credits of the game.s

Well I've tried every item I have (see pictures) on pretty much everything, and tried everything I could. I'm stuck. Is anyone as far as I am that has some ideas? Right now we need to wake Suinshin/get the light of the "Seven Stars" for Nanshu's eye.

still want to know why this guy cries

>>882371
In that screenshot he just sniffs, nothing much to see.

>>882371
the text is phoenetic, reads: fu fu fuuu fuun
which I think is japanese for wahh wah wahh

I'm having a problem running Eastern Mind. I downloaded the Portable DOSbox with it pre-installed, but I can't get into the game because as the opening cutscene is fading in, DOSbox crashes.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

for anyone having trouble with mega.co.nz or wants more based sato here's the torrent:

http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8650438/Osamu_Sato_Collection_%28Eastern_Mind__Chu-Teng__LSD__Artwork___Mo

I only just heard the news about Chu-Teng
I've got the emulator but I can't get a hold of the game itself. I've got a link to some Japanese download website called kye.nu but I have no idea what the password is.

>>883906
You don't need the password, although the password is "OsamuSatoChuten" (or something along those lines)
https://mega.co.nz/#!5QBHhSjL!dRK1AHvac1f1WJI2sQyTCm4tv7BypQkvmwD6g5v1LOo download this and read the readme

OH GOD YOU GUYS SUCCEEDED!?
I was away all last week with no internet access

>>884034
yeah
no one has beaten the game yet though

Have the efforts for translating this started yet?

>>884071
no

>>881017
Garage hasn't been found yet. I thought some people were going to buy a copy from Japan?

If I'm wrong can someone tell me where to download Garage from?

>>884078
I was talking about Chu-Teng in that post

>>883906
the password is OsamuSatoChuuten

>>884071

I could try a script translation (no hacking skills, sorry), but first I need to play the game so I can make a good translation.

>>884359
There isn't really a script, the text is all in bmp image files.

>>884361
if someone could rip all of the .bmps and make them into a .zip or something that would be gnarly

>>884365
Yeah, but the guy who was messing around with Director hasn't posted in the thread in awhile...

>>881703
that's weird.

>>884367

I think the project can be browsed quite easily with an earlier version of director.
The iso is strange, once you access parts in the game the files become visible through browsing on a mac. By making the image writeable it should be easy to replace the texts, but getting it organised could be something else.

Once the game is completed and knowing where most of the text goes and how it plays out, and making all files visible on the iso is where a translation would be fit to start.

I might start taking screens and organising it on a site somewhere for people to step up and translate it

Some stuff to translate.

女官鍵
月の宮の女官サンニュイが持つ箱を開ける鍵。

Court Lady's key
Key that opens the box that the Moon Palace Lady Sannyui holds .

>>885131
Ah, I already used the golden key for that. Guess it's uselss now then.

>>885135

Could you upload the description of that golden key?

>>885156
Yes. The golden key opens like everything, and you can make a copy of all keys at the guy below (I'll post his character profile)

>>884398
I just popped the thing open with like...7-zip and HFS explorer, and I don't really know if there's anything missing, but I don't see what would hide files, really.

玉手箱鍵

Tamatebako's Key
(Tamatebako is some kind of origami box, look in the wikipedia)
Key to open the so-called Tamatebako that the Sun Shrine Taiyan is hiding carefully.

That's weird, I thought Taiyan was one of those monsters.

>>887835
"They" are. There seems to be some secret room in the Sun Shrine somewhere, but I can't find anything.

>>887842
Or maybe I already opened the box. I might've.

>>881409
you are looking for the pieces of Suichin's body that are in Chu-Teng, some anon had a copy and uploaded it, it's interesting more like something you want to understand, i'm guessing Garage

>>887865
Ok first of all his name isn't Suichin it's Suinshin, and you are looking for Nanshu's body parts and not Suinshin's.

>>881820
>A man has more then one job, so he can't be good at one of them

That's idiotic.

The games achieve their goal well, which is off-putting exploration. If you enjoy stuff like Yume Nikki, you'll like his games.

bump

>>891748
Have people lost interest or is everyone too busy during workdays? I haven't really been able to help in any way, so I'm just waiting. Hopefully I'll be able to rip the floppy disk on monday.

>>891784
I think people lost interest, or just finding the game was enough for them to move on
Still no one has beat the game yet

>>885162

It doesn't say too much and it has a couple of weird kanjis.

星万能鍵
星の宮の万能鍵。もとはといえば,
この宮から?づくりの流行が始まっ
た。星の宮には、能力ある職工の光
が多くいるのだ。

Star Master Key
Master Key of the Star Shrine. As for the origin, it started a fad (?) of (something) from that shrine. It has a lot of proficiency in the Star Shrine.

tbh i'm still waiting for directoranon to come back and see if he can rip all the text images to see if we can actually get cracking on a translation

>>891784

To rip the floppy disk? It has been already done. See that buggy port for windows in the pastebin. It contains the rip of the .dmg file.

>>891924
no, there was a floppy disk that came with osamu sato's book the art of computer designing.

>>891924
I'm talking about the floppy disk that's included in Osamu Sato's book. As far as I know, I'm the only one in these threads who has it. It's unrelated to Chu-Teng.

>>891942
What does it have on it?

>>891947
we dont know. that's why we're ripping it

>>891947
I'm waiting for a usb floppy disk drive to arrive, it's taking way more time than it should. Hopefully it'll be here by monday.
From the letter the floppy disk was in, it seems to be a program for Mac 6.07~, and that you "double click to bring sound and animation to life". It also seems to contain Sato's own font, OS COMPU BOLD.

>>891942
It's still interesting, just rip it whenever.

I think people lost interest because yes, we did find the game but since it's in japanese nobody can really enjoy it all that much. At some points it just becomes spamming your inventory on everything that looks weird enough and that's not very fun.
Had it been a more intuitive, something like LSD, I'm sure people would still be interested.
I'm waiting for some kind of translation to play it too.

Never looked into it much but

Whats this whole Chu-Teng thing
Like can someone summarise it

>>892020
Osamu Sato was a strange guy who kept a dream journal for 10 years. He made some good techno music, used a Mac to make 3D artwork, and developed a couple of games. Chu-teng was the second game he released, and it was so obscure that when people started to get more interested in his stuff recently (from playing LSD on PS1 emulators), nobody could find a rip of this game or any place to purchase it.

Some guy on /vr/ had a copy in his attic and uploaded it.

The game's pretty neat, though I'm constantly getting stuck and can't read shit in it.

>>892057
How does it play? Is it an RPG or something?

>>892059
Adventure game, it plays just like Eastern Mind, his first game.

>>892057
Osamu Sato wasn't the guy who kept a dream journal. That was Hiroko Nishikawa.

>>892094
My bad; Nishikawa is a woman.

>>892094

and Hiroko Nishikawa subsequently worked on this game, maybe her and osamu fucked she had a dream put it in the dream journal hiroko told osamu and thats how you make an LSD dream emulator

bumpity bump

>>893224
yooooo!

>>893224

So the items are stored with their text?

Neat.

Heya guys. I've been absent for a week or so. How did we get the game? Did we?

>>893421
Some kind anon had copy of game and was kind enough to give it to us for free.

I've been VERY interested in this game for a very long time.

I played the absurdly confusing original Eastern Mind: Lost Souls of Tong-Nou and I've been searching for Chu-teng info for years.

I guess I'm at the end of that road.

>>893224
>>882218
What am I missing?

I saw this for sale two years ago at this Asian couple's flea market booth a couple years ago.

It was packaged with Eastern Mind, sitting on a cardboard slab contained in shrink wrap.

I should have bought it. It was only two bucks.

>>893224
Do you have a download for that?

>>893919

I saw a hobo once try to sell me this in exchange for a cheeseburger.

I kicked him in the face and went TALK TO THE HAND

>>893224

and all the text is in bitmap?
we could convert this in no time

>>893224
I got it working on the Japanese version, so no fucked up font.

>>894447
Interesting how some of the images are in english.

Browing the package myself, looks doable but i dont know much about Director.

Can screen cap and replace any image, a bit manual but totally doable.

Ill upload all i can rip out of the game if no other Anon beats me to it

>>894584
Someone already ripped the dir files and stuff awhile ago.
also help

>>894447

Right click seems invaluable though, sucker.

>>894589

Yeah but rip as in, organise all that needs translated and sorted. I cant seem to export the BMPs directly, but screencapping does the same effect just more manual. Any DirectorAnons know the score? Not a big deal

>>894597
They're already organized.

>>894589

Replace the texture exactly as you opened it?
Its an image it doesnt have attributes?

Some of the images are positioned in a certain place when you open it could be all the difference

New to these threads, mostly out of curiosity. Not to burst anyone's bubble or anything but besides rarity and weirdness, does the game have any redeeming qualities? I saw the live stream not too far back and it seems pretty bad as far as point and clicks go.

>>894602

Where?

>>894605
in the game files

>>894604

its more unique in the rare kind, have to escape a dungeon and get exposed to all kinds of bizarre looking things.
not the best game but worth a crack for something different.

>>894607

Faggot

>>894616
?????

>>894617

Need to have the files extracted from the game to edit it, no shit theyre organised and sorted in the game.

>>894623
It lets me edit them in the Mac version of Director 4.0.

>>894629

Yeah but photoshop, and to show TranslatorAnon.

>>894630
I guess you could just screencap them all then.

>>894631

Its no biggie to screencap..
Where can i get Director 4.0 for mac?

>>894632
There was an .sit file but I put it into a rar file here http://www.mediafire.com/download/ujxaie3qmvzh17i/Macromedia+Director+4.0.rar
Just add all 10 of the disk images in the Basilisk GUI then open the first one and install. The working serial key number is in there too.

>>894638

Thanks anon

>>894607
with the images being text, the game is gonna be translated?

>>894680

Eventually.

>>894680

Just going over a run through now, super quick to extract the goods.

Hopefully ~10 hours can upload a translation pack for

sorry i cheated

>>894747

OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK, WE ARE FUCKING DEAD

>>894778

and then the credits started going

>>894747

HOW

>>894778
Whoa, what the fuck

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVHNSjEyLOM
Here is a video of the ending.
>>894796
I edited the script in Director so that you could use the golden key to awaken Suinshin, although you are supposed to use a fireball. The fireballs disappear after a number of rooms and I couldn't figure out how to get them to Suinshin.

>>894875

Excellent

>>894778
>>894789
>>894791
There's supposed to be a .mov ending video. Maybe the game noticed you cheated?

>>894886
Is it in the Youtube video?

>>894886

There is a video in the end of it.
Some videos can only be extracted from the iso once they are played, its a strange one.. maybe effected the ending.

create thread #4?
bump

>>895080
no

bump

Cutting through the cheese of the textures now, expect a translation pack in prob 2 days.

TranslateAnon prepare your anus pls

>>895260
my body is ready for the translation pack

Going through the textures, the drawer wants the golden oval with purple diamonds, come shaped piece with purple star, the stick and the book with the purple star on it. Doesnt want any of them from here?

>>881820
Then let's hate on Earthbound too, because Shigesato Itoi wasn't really a game designer, either.

You are an idiot.

>>894687
That's great to know, I'm relieved.

I don't think I'd be able to finish this, my moonspeaking skills aren't sharp enough.

bamp

800 odd pieces needed for translation.
Some gaijins bust a nut for a day and can start stapling it back in.

Cleaning up the graphics and will upload within ~24hrs

Also unfinished business in the space sun domes, some token with the moon on it or something.

>>895645
nice anon.

>>895645
that sun done level should be in the list of worst video game level ever like who wants to spend all day going through random tubes hoping something will pop up just so they can spend 3 minutes clicking through everything in their inventory. Also can somebody translate these 2 pics.
http://i.imgur.com/9Tm55Uo.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/B25P0p8.jpg

>>895363
Actually that is what he gives you when you give him a bowl or cooked bird.

>>895740

check

>>895723

its actually only a grid of 4 x 5 or so. the feather gets you out of there.

>>895761
Oh never knew the feather gets you out of there I thought it gets you out of the Sun Shrine which nobody found. Are we still trying to look for the Sun Shrine/Palace or are we like trying to translate everything?

>>895772

Trying to um, get the fire to suishin however you spell it in the tomb i guess. Someone edited the game and the last step is to give something to the eye caught behind the rocks.. pretty close?

>>895781
Then if that is the point and if he just gives you something that lets you give something to the eye thing to end the game what is the point of this so called "Sun Shrine/Palace"? Also what is the point of this leg/key thing?

>>895789

The leg was to get the other items in the pit, 2 legs to walk with. Not sure about the rest

>>895645

Well done, anon.

So, we can get this going, hopefully making it easier to figure out how to get the fireball to Suinshin and then...I guess it's over? We've solved the game?

Huh. It's been quite the ride.

>>895805
I don't think the game will be over from there my expectations are for Suinshin to guide or tell you the entrance to the Sun Palace/Shrine and and then you have to open some Tametabako with the Tametako Key (Grey Key) and then get the Seven Stars? Or maybe the game doesn't want to be like that and that never happens like the unused pointless Jin in Eastern Mind that could not be reincarnated.

>>895810

I think Jin was just a bizarre way of making a philosophical point through the medium of vidya.

Here it seems like we're genuinely missing like a third of the game. But getting the game in English is a pretty good first step to figuring this all out.

>>895805

Well if its in english we will at least know wtf is going on so yeah should be easy to figure out.

Picking up a lot of speed with the graphics shouldnt be long

>>895821
Oh well, I've like tried clicking everything on everyone and now I think the sun shrine is going to be another one of those things like trying to find the way through the Lost Woods, but without Nintendo Power and with a twist its in a foreign language that only some people understand making the process much more longer and annoyingly repetitive.

>>895836

I'm impressed you even got that far. I got pissed off and stopped before even really figuring out all there was to the Star Shrine.

Something about the level design of these constantly repeating fucking spheres and having to ferry my stupid ass back and forth between them just got on my nerves after a while.

That space place wasn't much fun either. Maybe it'll change once the game's in English but it hurts to say that Eastern Mind is better...

>>895852

of course Eastern Minds better, this is a dungeon game on crack. Probably why it didnt get published, cause its pretty standard. But still unique, and for abandonware it does alright?

>>895852
Yeah I am only trying to click everything to be the first to find everything I only gotten this far thanks to archieved 4chan threads that helped me get this far I would've never gotten this far if I didn't know the password or the Japanese Translators which helped us understand the story and yet I still don't know the purpose of the wierd shark cone thing that you have to get in everytime you go somewhere different or the purpose of the first part of the game which youy spawn in and just have to find a oval thingy to fend off grey pieces. And is there any clue why Outside Directors Games never got that popular, but just was featured in Japan. It seems like wierd Japanese games never get that popular and only 100s of copies get made or in this case Chu Teng has 1 or something copy and never gets heard of.

>>895865

>And is there any clue why Outside Directors Games never got that popular?

Do you even have to ask? Look at what you are playing, dude.

>>895871
It appears I am playing something different we all should play something different once in a while like a puzzle game. Games like this remind of the games I find on the Yahoo download puzzle games there are very unique and different as well.

>>895863
>Probably why it didnt get published, cause its pretty standard.

Not at all. I can't think of another game like this.

>>895881
I'm sure the Yahoo puzzle games like the person mentioned earlier are pretty similar to this game in some ways.

I just realized that if you go to the center of the one place with 4 entrance door tubes that it takes you back to the entrance of the place just like the feather. Is this anything new I've always been trying to get out of the place by going to the place that has a chance of a gambler spawning.

>>895901

No...that's just the default way of exiting the Star Shrine. You just go back on yourself.

>>895904
Then what is the point of this ridicoulesly annoying gambler to a Moon Rock place?

>>895909

I have no fucking idea. I thought losing to him made you lose items?

>>895904
WHOAH! I just found out if you take the fireball thing after you have just got it in 2 fireballs and go to the center place and exit you keep the fireball thing FOREVER! PROGRESSION!

>>895914
>wat

shoot it at the fucking, guy in the tomb

>>895916
Forgot to say because I was too excited only lasts forever as I know of areas outside that sphereical loopy place.

>>895920

OK set yourself on fire

>>895924
Well now my goal is to go around clicking everything with it and hope that someone makes this an truly infinite fireball. Maybe this will unlock the Sun Shrine?

>>895927

where the guy hits you with the bat, the symbol opens up. 100% saw it when pulling textures

>>895932
Thanks for letting me know now I am going to try and see if I can find someone to make this an infinite fireball or if that place helps me with anything

>>895936
Actually I can't get to that place yet and need to find someone to change my fireball into that 4th fireball item seen earlier on the images for the textures of the game.

Anyone know any update on the Sun Shrine or what to do with this fireball I've been trying to figure out what to do with it stupidly for half an hour now?

Could someone translate this. This might be vital to my progression on the infinite fireball.

>>895961
And this. Don't know if anyone has translated it.

>>895965
I believe this has been translated before. Are there archives anywhere? Maybe all of the translations should go in a pastebin?

>>895970

Yo i am glued to doing this, strangely addictive, texture grabbing. Im touching them all up to prep them for putting them back in and making em clean for a translate, will be rummaging what has been done already towards a pastebin for anyone to pick at translating..

tldr yes

>>895973
I feel like a knight that must fulfill his journey and rely on these translator geeks always busy with their job of translating and wait for him to answer my questions. Anyways I hope I can get this fireball to Suinshin anytime soon. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Can you translate those 2 pics above just right now to make things quicker?

>>895973

How's this going to work anyway? If the text is all images, you just going to upload all of the images and then...collect everyone's translations of them and then edit the images yourself?

Because I don't think any of us have Director the edit the images ourselves, or the font to use a different program or something. What font does this game even use? And how is modifying images like (>>895965) going to be handled?

QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS.

>>895965
Just tried google translator hope this eases out your progression.

Contract of light
Seven stars bestowed to the Hoshinomiya
I was hidden in the room shining Seishuku of 28
It's Hoshinomiya Suinshin
In response to shine knitted in light
It is carried by the free wing
The judgment of the sword sparkling
Devoted deep into the pedestal
As long as the seven stars
Under the contract of light
Hoshinomiya is forever
Keep on shine

>>895985

Im using director.

ive already sorted a way to replace the images, someone else has trouble aligning the text but im sure it really cant be that hard if we are just dealing with BMPs.

Every image can be doctored and put back, ima edit the text off and put some english there.

Photoshop + Director + /vr/ = good times

>>895991

That's strangely legible for google translate.

>>895991
Awesome thanks! Can someone tell me who Seishuku is?

>>895993
I wouldn't be surprised considering this game using very specific words and is not like trying to translate words you would hear from a typical conversation.

>>895995
And you forgot to mention the what the Hoshinomiya is.

>>895996
Yeah I wonder what that is. I also want someone to inform me about the Tamatebako that the Sun Shrine is hiding carefully and next I would love to know if anyone has any more clues what to do with the Fireball?

>>896004
I think if someone gave a full translation of what Sein says about Suinshin that would be incredibly helpful

>>896023

Someone did.

Dig back through the various threads.

>>896025
So far Maichu's food and Shin's singing are useless facts. And we need to give him light and I'm still lost on what to do! Anyone have any tips or any new updates to share that might help me? I also have two youtube videos that I uploaded under the name NitroTypeMasters and I'm the same person who has this Fireball that lasts forever outside the one sphere place.

>>896043

Calm. Patience.

Wishing no offence, you're coming across as a little pushy.

Your best bet is to chill for some time while we try and work out this whole translation business.

>>896052
Oh, sorry. I'm just trying to keep this thread alive and I'm really desperate for info on this situation and I'm tired :(

>>896054
I think it would be quite useful if you investigated the suspicous lighting of the Star/Heaven temple light room which Sein hates. That might be useful for any hidden rooms or making your fireball and "infinite" fireball.

Ohai writing up check off list for texture translating for paste bin its hurting my feelings should be done within hour or 2

>>896074
What do you mean it's hurting your feelings :(

>>894607

Which .dir or .cst is that?

>>896059
To be honest. I think all the lighting in this game is wierd :(

>>895970
I'm copying the translations to this wiki.

http://easternmind.wikia.com/

>>896095
Awesome I love your wiki! Nice to see more info get passed also I am a major contributer to another wiki myself called the nitro-type wiki.

>>896078

IT HURTS MY EYES TYPING SO MUCH

>>896107
Your eyes? I spend hours on a computer and never have that problem? It may be because you barley use the computer alot and not used to it or you have your computer too close to you or you have to pay attention closely to the symbols which is the only reason I think that would be hte problem. Also about typing I do lots of typing it is the main reason how I got to 130-140 wpm averages ;)

>>896074

ok going to upload what i have and catalogue the rest soon.

http://pastebin.com/u8KgQpyH

pls halp

>>896114

all files are uploaded, just not catalogued. worded bad.

>>896114
Awesome I'm going to review each of these and use this to my advantage :D

>>896114
I just tried opening an image and I get the error
Unknown method in chutengtranslationpack

>>896120
My guess is that it is either mac images or the files are corrupt.

>>896124

2 secs

>>896128
I don't quite understand?

>>896129
ima fix it

What was the problem?

>>896136

no idea.

normal zip this time, and editable pastebin.

http://pastebin.com/biVW618R

>>896137
I thought this was a translation pack of all the images being translated to english not a complete copy of the game files?

>>896139

its all the files that need translating. in a pack.

>>896140
>f all the images being translated to english not a complete copy of the game files?

Oh ok! That still works I guess and I'll try to still find a way to make use of these files!

I'm confused. What identifies the difference between the Star and the Sun symbols in this game? Is the Star symbol the one with the 8 points?

will combine all available translations and catalogue tomorrow.

gg anon

If we could get some information about the bitmap compression of Director, we could make a script that would patch the dir files without needing to re-import them in Director 4.

>>896162

some images are arranged strange, and all the red text will be typed out within director itself, no drama.

I wonder why there is that cursor when you want to go somewhere shows up on the text of the projector thing.

That's wierd! I just left my Basilisk doing nothing for an hour and then later it stops responding and crashes on the projector board area!

bumping to keep this shit alive

>>896347
Yeah I'm going to try and work on more guessing and clicking to see if I can progress any further with this fireball and try to find the legendary Star Shrine.

The most unusual or different place I've managed to get with the fireball is to the area with the drunk guy and that capsule. I got a better more pixelated version for the translator to translate ;) Looking forward to you translating on my journey to use the all mighty fireball.

>>896515
Yeah they don't just put stuff like that in games for no reason although how did you get to the capsule flower guy with a fireball that is pretty impossible from what I've seen.

>>896537
Well what I did was that I got the paper and stick into fireballs then moved right until I got to that big sphere place then went to the tube that leads you to that place with 4 tube doors then moved straight from there then took a left to the crazy guy that just sends you flying across all the spheres then that is how I got to him. It pretty much makes sense and it all works out now I just need to figure out what to do at that area.

>>896537
visit the teleporter guy [the spindly guy who looks like he's slapping you]

>>896540
Awesome finally a guy who is on my side of the progression (I think). Are you trying to click everything rapidly and try to beat the game like me? I hope so I would appreciate a team of hardcore gamers working to complete this game in a fair and quick manner :)

>>896545
i'm not really trying tbh

>>896567
Aww, well I hope someone is out there trying to do everything possible to complete this game.

>>896572
technically someone cheated and beat it

there's gotta be some way to get the fireball to suinshin, though, and since the game is so short when you reroute the code, i'm sure there's gotta be some long complicated quest or something. maybe i'm just hoping that the game isn't as short as this

>>896578
Yeah I got the same exact feeling! I feel that there is going to be this Star Shrine that is extremely different and difficult to find. Although someone hinted earlier that in the textures that the place where you shoot the Sumo guy that the Star thing opens behind it after you kill it.

>>896586
yes i am also curious about that little symbol. gotta be a way to open it

>>896602
I have a feeling that there is something in the Sun tube maze considering how these is still this missing sun token thing noone has recorded achieving yet and the Star Shrine is obviously hidden somewhere very hidden. I'm going to explore that boring place more just for the curiosity and boredness it posesses and the curiousity behind it.

>>896612
I'm getting the strange feeling that this game is like Metal Gear where you have to do something completely unexpected and very unguessable to the point where you would have to visit the game files to learn how to complete the game.

>>896630
we have to get the fireball to him, that much is known from observing the code

>>896630
I hope not that would bring hell on anyone trying to beat this game without cheating! I'm done exploring this space place I'm going to try clicking on different spots on a character and see if that helps I tried clicking on 20 different spots on the teleporting guy that takes you to a drunk guy or something and nothing happened now I am going to try and click on other spots of a character I think looking more into the moon shrine panda people would give me a different result because I've already spent almost about a total of 2 hours on this space place to find nothing in it.

hows the progress on the translation pack?

I find it unusual that you can get to all these other panda people in the combination place, but you can't access the Panda that has the dark background or the one that is sad or something or the one that turns his head slightly at the last sentence.

Well this is pretty wierd. I went to a room with none of those panda people in the tables that means there is something to fufill here or this place is plain useless like most parts of the game.

OMG I tried combination TRIANGLE TRIANGLE TRIANGLE Then used the Cone Thing on the Green Panda and now I am at the asshole that stole the black orb!

>>896729
yoo what? which cone thing

>>896731
The one with the star on it I think and he said some words after that pic which I forgot to screenshot, but this is probably some useless information.

>>896736
what did the item look like

>>896743
This is it I think. If that doesn't work then try clicking on everything in your inventory.

>>896746
ok i got it to work. it seems it only works on a certain section of dialogue.

might be worth trying it on all of them? idk

>>896757
Hmm that is interesting now I gotta spend an extra 20 minutes making sure I've clicked everything possible to check off the moon shrine combinations from my list.

Whatever he says after that flashback thing or whatever is different from what he says at the last part. This will be some info probably worth translating.

>>896763
make sure you try every item on every section of dialogue

this game is very much a trial and error game if you dont know what youre doing

>>896790
Yeah I remember when I didn't know any of the game and trying to use the bow and arrow on the sumo guy that hits you with his head bat that I got killed from it. Now I learned that the Arrow cannot be trusted with shooting down birds or sumo wrestlers :P

Incase anyone is interested here is what I check before marking an area as useless.
Click on everything in your inventory everywhere
Click everywhere on the screen
Check for any translations in the past archives
And finally try spinning around the area and moving back and foward between places to check repetitive incase there is some hidden thing.

>>896787
you guys need to stop saving these as jpegs

>>896817
Why?

>>896821
because jpeg artifacts

>>896823
And what is that supposed to mean?

>>896827
jpegs are worse quality
save them as pngs

>>896831
Ok next time I will set the default format for my next picture as png ;) Thanks for letting me know.

I tried everything on that space rubbisth thing. I guess that marks the sun place off of my list. I highly doubt someone would be that insane to hide something somewhere in one of those places nobody would guess that ll look the same.

bump

When is the Translator or Director Anon on to help us on our journey?

>>897145
translation pack was released earlier in the thread. i'm talking to my japanese speaking friend to see if he can help. if that fails, translatoranon yall gotta help us
