[Game] Umineko no Naku Koro ni - Translation Project

How long are they? (Also, what's a "MAD"?)

[Kitsu]

I don't know the exact definition but a MAD is fan-made video...nothing official.

And the UMG's have different lengths but you could say they are all about 5 minutes or so

First: 4:56
Second:4:08
Third: 4:32
Forth: 5:30

Btw: The UMG's all come with extra tracks and Wallpapers.

[izmosmolnar]

Correct me if I'm wrong but are they fan-made? They look pretty damn impressive, if they are made by enthusiastic fans with too much free time in their hands.

[Klashikari]

Yes they are. Well, Shinra Etsuko can be considered as a pro, but those who create the video are fan. And I really doubt they have any connection with Ryukishi or 07th Expansion.

EDIT: Okey-dokey, give this build a try for non-JP locale.

Well, it still says that my locale is wrong etc, but if i right click and go to system menu and title back, i get the main menu and i see text and everything right from there onwards.

I tried playing it a bit and everything seemed to work as usual. Even all the kanjis and stuff show correctly (atleast in the grimoire), so i think you just need to remove that locale check and it'll work just fine. Good work.

[Sonozaki Futagotachi]

Hmm, but if you still get the "locale wrong" message, it's because the script couldn't find one of the sound files with characters in the name. That likely means the file (and others) didn't get copied over correctly during installation.

You will need to change your locale to Japanese and redo the installation, but after that you can change the locale back to normal and the new onscripter-en executable should still find the Japanese-named files. And now you'll get to hear all the music you should!

Of course, let me know if there's still a problem ^^

If you've already finished Episode 1, you can easily check whether the music files are playing by doing the EP1 Hidden Tea Party.

Spoiler for EP1:

If you don't hear organ music right at the start, then you're probably missing a huge chunk of the music and sound effects.

[chronotrig]

Alright, we've just heard back from BT about the spellings for the character names.

It looks like 'Ange' is the correct spelling. Also, BT was kind enough to send a list of the other characters up to EP3 (including Virgilia and Ronove) along with their spellings. All of the spellings used in our patch are correct.

[Ankoku-chan]

What about Akiba?

Found some bugs in the onscripter I linked to before, so try this one instead: http://www.sendspace.com/file/na9iqs

That's weird, i really can't hear the music unless i use applocale.
I'm running vista business, so can't change my locale, and applocale doesn't work right with the installer because the launcher starts the installer, and applocale doesn't seem to realize that i want that to be run in jap-mode as well, so this is a bit of a problem.

They are equivalent to the AMV
But while the AMV (Anime Music Video) mainly use anime scenes + some music playing on the background, a MAD does not restrict to anime, they can use images/animation from manga, games, anime, live-action stuff, random images, etc...

[ClockWorkAngel]

So there's actual developtment for cross-platforming then, nice to know!

Thanks for the hard works WitchHunt!

That's unfortunate. You likely need to copy the BGM, ME, SE, and sys_se directories from the Umineko installation DVD to the installed location, in order to make sure you have all the sound effects. (It's not just filenames with kanji - at least one filename uses fullwidth roman letters, annoyingly enough.)

That's how i generally installed it, by copying the folders, generally it shouldn't matter because if i use applocale to run the game, i can hear music that has a fully kanji filename. For example the one that plays when maria reads the letter in ep 1.
Just for clarification: I can't hear it with the new executable except when using applocale.

While i'm by no means knowledgeable about onscripter, can't you just use something like the setlocale function to set the locale to japanese? The program seems to be written in C++, so the function call setlocale(LC_ALL, "Japanese"); should suffice.

I'm trying to get onscripter to play nice with Unicode.

The very latest onscripter executable should play the kanji-named sounds, Applocale or no - at least it does on my XP system (US_en locale), and I tried it via Applocale for other languages as well. Could you be having a Vista problem? Are you able to run in XP compatibility mode?

Just want to track down the issue.

I tried XP compatability and running as administrator, neither helped. My locale should be Finnish. And yes, i think it might be a vista problem, though i haven't the slightest what might be causing it to not understand unicode...

[Kitsu]

I know it's impolite to ask...especially in the english translation thread
But a Chinese friend of mine wanted to play Umineko, but since her english sucks use the Chinese patch. But me and her a unable to find it so does anyone know where to get the Chinese one?

[Rena Ryuuguu]

-sighs- I don't know anymore what to do, I tried to instal Umineko EP4 over repeated times, but it always stops to instal by the umineko.exe and freezes . I'm annoyed . because I played all the other games, and now I want to play ep 4 with the eng. patch but I can't even instal EP 4 ,_,

[Kitsu]

My friend has a similar problem, but she uses my disc that's why it's rather strange since it works totally fine with me. But could it be that Umineko doesn't work with Vista?
