Running 10.10, managed to get Onscripter-en working, but when I try to run that command from the patch folder, I get a message saying that SDL couldn't be initialized. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Can you post the exact text of the error message (and any output that appears before it?)

Also, are you using one of the prebuilt ONScripter-EN binaries or did you build it yourself from source? If you are building yourself, you might want to try to configure with the --with-internal-sdl (or --with-internal-libs). This will add a few megabytes to the resulting binaries but will ensure that they are statically linked with the versions of the libraries that we develop with.

When I get some time I'll try some builds on 10.10 and see if there might be issues that we can address in future releases.

I'm sure he's fine, but still it's some nasty stuff over there.

How can you be so sure right now...?

Maybe because he's writing in his blog.

Really? Could you or anyone else link it?

There's what I get. I had gone through this thread and found some instructions, so I ended up using Subversion, so I'm assuming that's building from source? If I was to configure with what you said, that would involve building it again, right?

[Roto]

Yeah, your SDL definitely isn't playing nicely with ONScripter-EN. I wonder if the build system is incorrectly detecting SDL 1.3 and trying to link to that (which won't work without some changes to ONScripter-EN.)

To rebuild and install with internal everything, which should avoid these incompatibility problems, run:

make clean
./configure --with-internal-libs
make
sudo make install

in the ONScripter-EN directory.

Edit: I just did some testing on Ubuntu 10.10 and I'm unable to reproduce the problem. I started with a fresh installation, and installed the following packages:

sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion libjpeg-dev libvorbis-dev libbz2-dev libfreetype6-dev libsdl1.2-dev SDL-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsmpeg-dev

I checked out the latest version of ONScripter-EN from SVN (http://svn.unclemion.com/repo/onscripter, make sure you are not using an ancient Hæleth or insani version), ran ./configure, make, make install, and everything worked fine.

It doesn't look like SDL1.3 is in the ubuntu repos yet, so unless you've installed it manually (or added another package repository to your apt) that shouldn't be the problem. If you still have your nonworking onscripter-en, try running ldd on it (`ldd /path/to/your/onscripter-en`) and paste the output (either spoiler-tag it or send it via PM, it will be long.)

Just to make sure I'm making it from the right directory, I'm supposed to build from trunk, correct?

[Sonozaki Futagotachi]

branches/onscripter-en-20110305 is the most recent release. The trunk is stable at the moment, so building from it should work, but we can't guarantee that at all times. (Hmm, maybe I could make a "current-release" tag or linked branch for those who want to do builds...)

Is it Episode 8 tiem yet?

I was going to ask the same thing.

I've been following this thread for a very, very long time. And I finally decided to join so I could ask the question quoted above.

I read a post about a week or so ago that said that by the weekend we'd know if a patch was going to be out that was last weekend. I also remember reading a post about 75% of the game being roughly translated so far and only about 50% properly cleaned up.

I also remember reading that someone said they most likely would not release a 50% patch like they've done in the past.

So I ask does anyone roughly know how far along the translation is, and how long do you think it will take before we see a patch?

Also I greatly appreciate the work you guys are doing great job keep it up!

If it was, there'd be a release. Have patience.

I think it's already been said (and shouldn't be surprising) that this is the hardest game in the series to translate.

[Aeriven]

Appreciate the update, k//eternal, good luck with Episode 8.

If you guys don't mind me asking, how are things with the Episode 8-compatible patch of Episode 7? Have you definitely decided to wait until a 50% patch of Episode 8 to release it, or is it still up in the air?

(I'm honestly a lot more anxious for Episode 7 than 8, since I wasn't able to buy a copy of Episode 7 and didn't want to pirate it. I'm having Umineko withdrawals!!)

[AuraTwilight]

I think they said they wouldn't be making a 50% patch for Ep8, considering the choices in the game and whatnot.

If you want you could always buy the legal download version from HobiBox (that's what I got while I waited for EP 8 to come in the post).

I could if I was REALLY bored and impatient, but the time EP7 came up on Hobibox, I'd already bought my copy of EP8. Kind of pointless for me to buy EP7 now, plus money is kind of tight at the moment.

Oh well, "no news is good news" is the mantra around here, so keep on trucking, Witch Hunt! I've got two English thesis papers to write to keep me busy anyway. XD

I was going to order my copy of EP8 at the beginging of April... If anyone knows if Amiami is still running let me know...
