[Game] Umineko no Naku Koro ni - Translation Project

[DKnight768]

Hi, I don't know if someone else had this problem before, but I googled, searched this thread and skimmed through the last posts and found nothing.
When using the EP6 English patch, my CPU usage goes through the roof, both cores at 100%. I am using Windows 7.
When I check taskmanager, the game, explorer.exe, itype and ipoint(microsoft keyboard and mouse stuff) are consuming all the CPU time.
The game doesn't even show on the taskbar; if I minimize it, it goes nowhere (but I can still alt tab).
When closing the game, the CPU usage still stays at 100%, and I can't kill any of those 4 tasks mentioned. I can't even shutdown after this, the system stays at "logging off" and I have to unplug the computer.

Playing EP6 in Japanese takes about 0~10% CPU and causes 0 problems, so it's definitely something in the patch. EP5 in English works flawlessly too (standalone EP5 with the old patch).

This is of course very annoying because the text crawls when there's effects like rain and the music stutters and stuff, and then after playing I have to unplug the computer and restart if I want to do something else...

I agree that this needs to be changed, but I'll change it to "for a long time" as I think it fits better in the context. "For many days" just doesn't sound like a long time and I think that's what it is supposed to convey. That a long time passed.

I agree here. I've also thought about it myself while reading. Fixed.

this should probably be 'Until I happened to'

and considering the translation note:



the patch should probably read as 'Until I happened to meet that person'

FIXED!


again this should probably read a little differently, but I need a second opinion from someone who can read the original japanese.

I also agree here, but as I don't have any suggestions for changes, I am going to leave it as it is for now.

it should also be 'know your place' instead of 'know your own place'. I also think it should be lowly humans instead of stunted humans, but again I'd need a second opinion from someone familiar with the Japanese.

haha, fixed xD. I've also been bothered by this. Just didn't bother fixing it until now as we never actually planned on releasing it, but now it's fixed.

EDIT2:

two more Bern letter typos



should be 'definitely be able to'



see should be 'sees'

And these should be fixed as well.


Thank you very much for reading through and pointing out these errors.

I'll add updated download links to my earlier post.

Ryukishi has updated his diary. (I think this is the right page for this XD)

Spoiler for Update 1:

ご連絡が遅くなって、本当に申し訳ございません。
EP7は無事にマスターアップしておりますので、ご報告させていただきます。

実は前回の日記で、絶好調！とか書いた直後から、スランプに入ってしまい、絶好調とか書いた次の日記で、絶 不調とは書けないよなぁ…、なんて思っていたら、そのままずるずると日記を書くタイミングを逸してしまい、 そのまま佳境に突入してしまったわけでした…。

今回の修羅場でも、スタッフの皆さん、本当にお疲れ様でした！

EP7は、これまでとかなり雰囲気の異なる物語となります。
全てのエピソードの中で、もっとも「解答的」な内容です。

その「解答」の塩梅に、かなり悩みました。
答えが「２」だとしたら、「２」と書きたくないのです。
せめて、「１＋１＝？」という風に描きたい。
しかし、あまり難解に描き過ぎると、意味がわからなくなってしまうし……。

その辺を、とにかく悩み抜いて調整して、描いたのがEP7です。
『うみねこ』を、一番楽しんでくれた方々に、一番楽しんでいただきたい。……カッコつけた言い方をすると、 そんな仕上がりです。

これまでの全て、精一杯を詰め込んだEP7を、どうかご期待いただければ幸いです。

・－・－・－・－・－・－・－・－・－・－・

ひさしぶりにネットに繋いで、さくたろう速報さんを見たら、「日記コネーーーーー！」って書いてあってビビ リました。
本当にごめんなさい。更新します（汗）
これからは、もっと下らないことでもちゃんと更新するように努力します……。

Spoiler for Update 2:

今、連絡があったので、誤解がある前に……。

竜騎士07はツイッターはやってませんよー。

関係者が誤解されているという連絡があったので、大急ぎでご連絡までに……。

Update 2 seems to just be him talking about how someone on Twitter is pretending to be him... according to google translate.

Translation anyone!?

[Zero Sora]

Well I think the first update (from what I heard someone else say) is about Ryukishi saying something along the lines of him "not being able to wait for people to play Episode 7" or him being unable to "wait to sell Episode 7" or something. Apprantly he's very excited about releasing Episode 7. It also talks about how he put a lot of effort in Episode 7 when it comes to revealing some of the core mysteries. He wanted to make sure he got everything to fit in properly. So Episode 7 is packed full of lots of things and he hopes people will enjoy it.

Then again, my source isn't totally reliable. So, don't believe what I said a until someone trust worthy actually translates it.

[Edit] Just ran it through google translations. And what I posted before seems to be the gist of what Ryukishi was saying. But still an actual translation would be nice.

UPDATE:

Ok, a fixed version of the Extra Tip Patch here now. Install it like the last one. This contains fixed grammar in Bern's letter and slight fixes to the menu.
If anyone is interested, download it here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3XVB4VTS or here: http://www.mediafire.com/?vakaualn8o3a0i1

UPDATE 2:
Fixed typos in Lambda's diary mentioned below. Updated the download links to the new fixed version.

Only compatible with Episode 4, Alliance of the Golden Witch.

How difficult would it be to try to repack this to work with the mac version? Is there an easy way to do it?

What that tells me is I need to stay off the internet until 7 gets translated.

[~Ayane~]

im gonna stay on the internet the whole comiket, until i get to spoil myself to death with delicious spoilers >:3

but i hope he will leave some mysteries just so the flame wars can continiue, my life would be soooo empty without them : (

[Zero Sora]

Of course some mysteries will be left for Episode 8. Assuming there is an episode 8. I'm guessing the epitaph is one of them, and Battler's sin form six years ago will be another. Battler's sin is a pretty big one because it's the reason all of Umineko happened.

I'm currently writing a a story based on Umineko. Like, it is its own story, but it borrows the concepts of Umineko. The red and blue truth. The setting of an island. Murders. A witch (sort of). A repeating game between the two main characters. So it's pretty much a fan fiction, but also it's own story. So... plagerisim. Yeah, plagerism. Or a hommage. Depends on how you want to look at it. But I prefer calling it a hommage to Umineko.

It's just that Umineko is such an interesting concept, so I had to write something like it.

I don't really know how the mac version works because I don't have a mac so I can't answer. It is probably possible though.

[killuapo]

Actually, it's pretty complicated because the Mac English Installer of Episode 4 seems to recompile all the arc.nsa and stuff files into the core of the .app, so files don't sit in the same place as they should with the Windows Installer.

However, you can try to install the Mac 4.3 patch with the installer-free version (copy all of the files from the disc in a Umineko4 folder, copy files of the fullsrc folder into the Umineko4 folder, put the "Installer-free" patch in there, get a Mac build of POnscripter and put it in the English Patch's folder) and try to put the Extra-tip patch into there. I can't try right now, but try please and tell me how it works.

Problem fixed: see my post here http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost...postcount=4518

I'm having trouble saving and loading with the Mac version of the EP6 patch. At first, I noticed that if I saved and exited, when I restarted, none of my save files would appear, nor would EP6 remain unlocked.

So I checked the files in /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Umineko6/ and many seemed to have corrupt filenames:

%B0ݴ%A0envdata
%B0ݴ%A0gloval.sav
%B0ݴ%A0save1.dat
%B0ݴ%A0save2.dat
%B0ݴ%A0screenshot/
etc.

as well as copies of these files and folders without %B0ݴ%A0 in front.

Furthermore, the Console has messages like this when I try to save:

8/13/10 3:34:36 PM [0x0-0x2f62f6].com.witch-hunt.umineko6[7444] can't open save file sav/save1.dat for writing (not an error)

And when I quit:

8/13/10 3:45:21 PM [0x0-0x2fa2fa].com.witch-hunt.umineko6[7459] can't open gloval.sav for writing
8/13/10 3:45:21 PM [0x0-0x2fa2fa].com.witch-hunt.umineko6[7459] Quitting...

Well, my copy of episode 7 came today. I wasn't expecting it so soon, but I'm not complaining. Now all I have to do is wait for Witch Hunt to make Ep 7 compatible with Ep 5 and Ep 6 translations.

I might also browse through the game while I'm waiting. Maybe I can determine if there is going to be an Episode 8 from the ending.

Oh no you don't. I hope you realize that making a partial translation for ep7 is quadrillion times more important than making ep5 and ep6 translations compatible with ep7. These things can wait, believe me.

[Thunder Book]

So why isn't the Episode 7 patch out yet? You've had what, a whole 12 hours to translate it? It should be out now. /joke

I'm pretty sure making EP7 compatible with previous Episode translations isn't that time comsuming.

Assuming that Episode 7's coding is not different from the previous versions

[LaplaceNoMa]

Yeah, that's the case.

By the way, links are down. 500 internal server error.

[k//eternal]

That's why we have multiple mirrors on the files, I suppose. Thanks for the heads-up, though

[LaplaceNoMa]

Well, Episode 4 link doesn't have mirrors
I've just reinstalled windows and realized that I didn't save the patch. >.<

Will have to wait now.

[Besumi-chan]
