[Game] Umineko no Naku Koro ni - Translation Project

[UnknownBeast]

I think this is your problem.

Spoiler for From the Readme:

Once you are done with the installation of the original game, please test it beforehand in order to see if everything works fine. We strongly recommend you to check the content and the state of your installation: please be sure to check if the BGM tracks in the BGM folder are all present compared to the content of your game disc, and if their titles are indeed in Japanese. If something is missing or misnamed, please reinstall or copy-paste the missing/corrupted content from the CD to your installation.
This is very important: all Japanese titled files must be readable. If you still can’t have proper Japanese file names, please check again if your system is set in Japanese locale or if you installed the East Asian Languages.

I have a question: will the translation for the 4th game be like the translation for the 3th? You know, like when the patch for the third game was just finished after the 4th game release and all? It's not a critic and i'm also not trying to say something like "if I was the one working in it....=/", i'm just asking XD

[paula_mink]

It would be superb if Witch Hunter releases the translation before the next EP.
Keep the good work, everyone is looking for it! 8D

Episode 4: Alliance of the Golden Witch

• 24% (chapter 0-7)
• 77% towards 1st patch

Only two chapters left!

[Marion]

The partial patch will also include the other episodes right?

EDIT: @UnknownBeast: I just did what you said and tested the game. My japanese fonts are all installed but the music still won't play in the tea party.

[actawesome]

They finished translating and inserting eps 1-3 after ep 3 had already come out. I think by the time the next comiket happens and ep 5 comes out The Witch Hunt will have a complete patch for 4 =D.

[chronotrig]

Marion: Could you show us the files in your BGM folder? That way we'll be able to tell if the names are wrong or whether you're missing a file.


As to the patch releases, we'll obviously try to get them to you quickly, but it's also important to do the thing right. I think our quality has gone up a lot since we've started, and we're going to keep it that way.

Please remember though that EP4 is massive. The part we've translated so far is just as big as half of EP1, and the entire first patch will actually cover a bit less than a third of the game.

I hope that we can finish the question arcs before the answer arcs start, but I can make no guarantees.

...On the bright side, we've now translated over 50,000 segments of text

It looks like writers tend to write more the more they write.

Think about Harry Potter or Stephen's King The Dark Tower, they start with a 200 pages book and they end up with 600-700 pages.

I "fear" that Ryukishi will make even longer novels in the future ^^;

@marion

When you say "My japanese fonts are all installed but the music still won't play in the tea party. " do you mean you just installed the language pack, or you actually set system locale to japanese?

Assuming you have windows xp, what's shown in the image under the spoiler, is how to set locale to japanese properly:

Spoiler for hidden image guide - not sure how to thumbnail XD:

Assuming you have the east asian language pack installed, and follow the steps in the picture, it really should work :@

[lovelysan]

Aim for an October release of the full! WOO!

(Ha, sorry, I just love the appropriate-ness of that month for this game XD .)

[rogerpepitone]

Set the character encoding to UTF-8.
Look over the files in the bgm directory. One of the files should have a name starting with "Ride on".

Is the full name "Ride onБiФЄНsЛ@В╔ПцВ┴В─УЗВ╔НsВнВ╞ВлВ╠ГCГББ[ГWБj.ogg" or "Ride on（飛行機に乗って島に行くときのイメージ）.ogg" ?

Yeah i know what you say, but if the quality remains the same (or becomes even better) the more the merrier =D



And dark tower's final book has over 1000 pages =P

Spoiler for Image of all BGM files:

I copied it directly from the CD, so there shouldn't be any reason that the files are missing. And I doubt I put it in the wrong location, since other music works fine.

@777chris777: I followed the image you provided and it is as you outlined it in your image guide. The last part is what I didn't do, but even then the fonts are still working. In any case I'm going to restart the computer now and see then. I'll edit this post when I'm done.

EDIT: I just tested it out again and it works now!~ Although slashes appear as yen symbols in system messages for some reason, the music began to work. Thanks for your help everyone :3

Did your Wiki page got chosen by the key of the Golden Land and offered up as sacrifice or something? *deletes bookmark* >_>

Their is a website now, so I imagine using the wiki would be moot.

http://witch-hunt.com/

If you did not see it before.

[Klashikari]

This is correct, we chosed to discard the wiki for several reasons:
1) For all intent and purpose, the website was already enough.
2) It became clear over the time that people are checking the website more than the wiki (and this thread and my blog are still present as additional information sources).
3) The purpose of the wiki was moot for over half a year, as we just don't use its system (as we explained before with the script removal, we got near-zero external help).
4) We do not wish to burden or look like a rogue project compared to the rest of the BT projects.

We obviously know that this change will surprise some people, but we are certain that everyone will adapt to that quite easily either way.
That is to say, our gratitude to BT. Without this group, the project would probably be never born.

Let's say... furniture lasted long enough. It is time to use a shiny new one completely

[Psycho13in308]

Well I found for the current Windows onscripter-en to read Umineko's files properly if Linux users want to play with all the effects. When you run it in WINE type "LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine onscripter-en.exe" in Terminal after navigating to the Umineko patch directory.

[UnknownBeast]

Yeah, useless furniture are to be disposed off, of course. Not even a corpse should be left over too. :P


I know about the website. I just had the Wiki page bookmarked cause it has a more detailed progress update. >_<;

[Jan-Poo]

Yeah i know what you say, but if the quality remains the same (or becomes even better) the more the merrier =D

And dark tower's final book has over 1000 pages =P

True true, but there's a downside: the more the novels are long the bigger will be the work for the translators, and longer our wait.

[777chris777]

@marion yea np, from what you'd said in your previous post I assumed that was the case^^

@unkownbeast yeah same, the more detailed progress report was why I liked using there also, but yeah, other than that, the site has enough information^^

@jan-poo Longer waits are fine, especially if it means we're getting more content. It's not as though we're talking about duke nukem forever XD



-> On a side note it may not be a bad idea to leave a link to the witch hunt site at the baka tsuki domain, if you're allowed. Just incase some "less informed" people are unaware of it :X
