[Game] Umineko no Naku Koro ni - Translation Project

[GyroidFanatic]

You know that everything's *inside* the WinRAR file, right?

[Karen Ishigami]

I also have a problem...

I installed the patch, and it keeps telling me that I have to set the regional language to Japanese or to install the music files, but I have everything and executed the program on AppLocale too. I also reinstalled it again, getting the same files, and the patch is telling me that.

Any suggestions?

if someone has the same trouble

Start -> Run -> dxdiag
Sound tab
Accelerate it!

Yup, the new patch actually uses DirectSound like it should (that's the "audio fix"), so you need to be sure your settings are right

Let us know if you find other problems with playing Umineko, I'm working out onscripter issues this week

Ah... Thanks for telling me that. Now I'm just having the same problem as Karen Ishigami.

Alright, let's try and fix this now.

There are a few problems when using Applocale with our patch, so if you're getting the 'regional language settings' error screen, this is how you can fix it:


Find the Umineko game disk, right-click it, and select open.
Find the 3 folders called BGM, sys_se, and SE.
Copy those folders into your game folder (Program Files\07th_Expansion\Umineko4), and tell it to overwrite all files.

Also remember to run the game with Applocale every time if you haven't set your regional settings to Japanese.

Wow... Long Patch is Long. And I'm not even halfway through the episode...

Thanks for your help again. Hopefully, this'll be my last question, since it's still not working (Clearly, I lack comprehension skills and/or computer skills). What's applocale? And you just copy the files, right? You don't cut them from the folder, do you?

Reporting that the game is working under Linux, with onscripter svn version 20090110. The only bug I can report is that it sometimes switches between fullscreen and windowed mode on its own, but it's kind of sporadic and I haven't been able to find a pattern, other than it happening when a paragraph ends up sowing (and you get that page like icon at the end of the line, instead of the arrow).

OMG! This is so long! Sorry guys... I thought we pressed you a little... O.o

AppLocale is a Windows Application that allows you to run a program in a certain "locale" without changing your whole Windows setting to it.

I prefer changing the Windows settings, though.

Also, out of curiousity, if you didn't know how to extract a RAR file, how did you extract the Umineko opening movies?

[bahamut zero]

Is it possible to transfer save's between the different episodes? up till now I only had Episode 3 installed, now I installed Episode 4 and obviously everything I unlocked before (TIPS, Teapartys, everything) is not there anymore....

Edit: Don't bother, I just tried the unlocking function, everything works as before

[ClockWorkAngel]

That was an exciting two days XD. Great fun. I lol at the result from the Both option at the end. It was great.

[Jan-Poo]

that's the first i checked XD then i did the other two °°

[Mystearika]

the both option creeped me out i was sure something was going to scare you with a loud sound

but i like it at the same time

[UnknownBeast]

WUT!? You can click them as choices?

*loads up game* *loads up savestate* *clicks first choice*

...

*clicks second choice*

... ... ... ¬__¬


*clicks third choice*

... WHAT THE CRAP.


Something's telling me that those "last minute edits" and "bugs" was for this.

Make sure to pick the second option a couple times.

We have 2 message bottles. Which are both different in content, and indicate that everyone from the Ushiromiya family died.

This way, I'm looking now at Umineko at this angle

1. Episodes 1 and 2 are the what if's of the Rokkenjima incident, the stories inside those 2 message bottles. They are shown to us as it is.

2. Episode 3 is what happened, or rather as Ange put it, where the plans of the culprit didn't go according to plan. This is the world that results to Ushiromiya Ange's unhappiness.

Well, I'll need to distract myself again with other things or else I'm going to die of waiting.

Spoiler for EP4:

Yup, I'm also looking at it that way.. but, the repetitions exist. I don't think they're simple stories in a bottle.

Yet, why have they become written stories in a bottle? Is it because 'the person in the center of the repetition'/'Beatrice'/'the culprit'? failed in this game and gives out the notes to enforce it's existence or something?

How should one really look at this overall?

I'm so confused.. @_@

We announced that the last minute required for the patch were the edits and bugs, and we maintain this claim (which is rather a fact).
The omakes you saw so far were always done right after the first translation draft was made, which was absolutely not affecting by any means the releasing date.
That is because we always go through translation first, and then afterwards, the editing and the qualitycheck/testing. Ergo, absolutely nothing related to the delay.
And honestly, I don't see any of us having fun into belating a patch for the hell of it.

I would like you to stop doing such assumption. Feel free however to report us critics of the actual content, especially the typo and the grammer issues.

[Jan-Poo]

especially the typo and grammar issues

uh about that, isn't "Zucchini" more appropriate than "Zuccini"?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zucchini

I see that if you try to search "Zuccini" it gets redirected.

[Klashikari]

Good catch, we are going to put that on the "to do" list for the second patch.
If you have more things to report, please send us a PM.
