[Game] Umineko no Naku Koro ni - Translation Project

[777chris777]

I'm not sure about the chinese umineko site, I've seen it posted on one of the umineko threads on this site quite a while ago I think, as I'm pretty sure I went there from a link once. Couldn't say for certain though.

As for installing umineko, if it's an official cd and if it's on windows xp with a japanese locale setting that shouldn't happen. I'm not sure about how it would go on vista as I got rid of it a while ago but I do remember that the popup warning thing you have set up on vista by default (which says something like: program.exe wants to do something, will you allow it yes/no) actually blocked alot of stuff from actually opening at all. You can disable it in the control panel somewhere but since I no longer have vista installed I can't remember where.

Either way, if you let people know your operating system etc I'm sure someone could help.

just install it following the mac installation guide: Create some folder for the game on your hdd. Copy all folders from the umineko dvd to the folder you created, and then move the contents of the fullsrc folder up one level, into the folder you just created, and you're done.

@Sonozaki Futagotachi: i noticed that even when running your version with applocale, i couldn't hear the music at the start of ep 1 tea party. So no matter wether or not i use applocale, i can't hear that piece. Then there's the maria-reads-letter music, which i can't hear without using applocale...
...weird stuff.

Ok, the ep1 tea party music seems to be a general bug, I replicated it; it's a sound volume setting thing that I must've broken in that last release ^^;

Thanks,

Hmm. I'm still puzzled by this, so: here's a questionnaire for those of you who run Vista and have tried out the most recent onscripter-en.exe program (http://www.sendspace.com/file/wivu0p), running in non-Japanese locale.

1) Were you able to run it on Umineko okay, even when not using applocale?

2) Do you have administrative privileges on your Vista computer?

Based on some searches, I'm beginning to suspect Vista doesn't like programs that try to use Unicode-based functions to open files, if the user does not have admin permissions. So, I'd like to know if it ever works on Vista.

Thanks for your help!

I'm kinda jumping in the middle of this but I have Vista and it works fine. I'll try to explain what I did. I found the instructions for this on some guys blog and I can't find it anymore. Basically what he said is that Vista sorta has applocale built in, you just have to know where to look. Go to the control panel>Clock Language and Region>Regional and Language options>the administrative tab> then hit change system locale and tell it japanese. Works fine for me, and I can easily switch it back to english although it seems to run english stuff fine, so I haven't bothed to change it back yet.

It's on hold until June because Chronotrig has finals.

[Bearpigman]

Hey everyone
After telling my friend about the glory that is umineko, he tried to install it on his mac (osx 10.4.11) and ran into a problem. We followed the instructions on the main page (copy the disc, bump up fullsrc folder) and though it runs fine, and the sound on the menu screen works fine, as soon as the game itself begins (Nanjo and Kinzo talking in Kinzo's study) the sound becomes blaring static. Is there anything that he is missing or should have? Thank you very much!

[chronotrig]

As the head translator of the Witch Hunt, I must apologize for some things said that were not correct.

As some of you may know, the end of the first EP4 patch had a screen saying that the 2nd of 3 patches would be coming out soon.

I'm sorry to say that, due to recent changes in my schedule, such a patch will not be released soon, or indeed ever.
I sincerely apologize to everyone who was looking forward to this.


Again, the second of three patches will not be released by this team...

Spoiler for minor details, no spoilers:

...Because, thanks to a reworking in my schedule and the hard work of two new translators, we will be pleased to present to you a fully translated version of When They Cry 3 in a single new patch. It will be completed by this June, and will include all of Episode 4.

As some of you may know, I've been the lone translator for this team since the prologue of Episode 2. Since EP4 was so overwhelmingly huge, we enlisted the help of two other translators to bring the patch to all of you as fast as possible. Squirrellord has given us the equivalent of two average-sized chapters, and we received one chapter's worth from crazysjd89.

Klashikari has long since finished all the pictures for the entire episode, and is working on editing the script as well as populating the in-game and out of game Grimoire notes. And of course, k//eternal will be staying on as our other major editor, so we can finally get to cleaning up a lot of the typos in Episode 1. Mion of the Sonozaki Futago has been doing some great things with the engine. The Music Box will be reachable and working in the next patch, and it seems that at least Windows XP users will be able to run the game in any local. Finally, even though we haven't quite finished yet, I'd like to give a special thanks to Dormeur, the only Japanese member on our team. EP4 is packed with obscure references and technical language, so without this guy to quicken the research phase, the translation would have taken much, much longer and many things would definitely have been missed.

We apologize for not updating our site with the recent progress before now. As a group, we wanted to make sure the new translators would actually give us their stuff before announcing them. Basically, we didn't want give people a false impression of how soon the next patch would be released.
But now we can say for sure: the patch will be completed by the end of June.

And it's all thanks to the support we've gotten from everyone here, as well as Ryuukishi for making the last few chapters the perfect finale for the question arcs.

chronotrig, I hate you so much right now.

Spoiler for ?:

Awesome news! You almost gave me a heart attack.

[Kitsu]

Spoiler for minor details:

God, you just scared the heck out of me!
But seriously thank you guys. Everyone of the team is awesome and I'm really thankful that you guys make it possible for so many people that don't read/speak japanese to enjoy Umineko. Thank you
