And it isn't a joke this time!
Yep, decided to keep going and do TH11. Mainly because Naut and Nereid brought up the prospect of Satori Rush and it was like wooooah yesssssss

（日本の皆さん: 日本語で使用方法と変更点を追加したー プレイしてくれてありがとう、楽しんできてください！）
Main game: The main game is restyled so that it becomes a fairly challenging boss rush mode. The stage sections are removed, including most midbosses, so the game is entirely boss fights. There are no bombs (the Power system remains), and no continues. As a boss rush, I wanted to make sure that the player gets a type of challenge that they wouldn't normally experience playing SA. Ideally, in order to clear, you have to play very well: in other words, capture nearly everything. The lives system is kept the same; a pattern capture grants you a life piece, and five pieces make an extra life. Plus, since you can't bomb, you have to be able to keep surviving a pattern you may die on. This sort of play doesn't skew your score files, since those are already dependent on captures.
Unlike UFO, players can expect to survive a little longer, since there isn't any cough difficult stage 2 boss cough to kick your ass early.
Extra mode isn't really a point of interest, since Extra is already pretty short and it's just cut to Sanae and Koishi. Having no bombs doesn't provide that much greater of a challenge, and cutting lives here wouldn't make a difference. Seeing as many players have difficulty with Koishi, this is essentially boss practice as below.
Practice mode is probably what many people would use this for. It's simply Boss Practice, i.e. amazing. No bombs of course, but that only helps for practicing. You can practice problematic boss patterns quickly and repeatedly, without having to sit through the stage each time.
Replays work perfectly. A separate replay folder is created automatically to read and write from, so the boss rush replays don't get mixed up with the rest.
Instructions:
(Always back up your score files. They should not be affected, but it's always good practice.)
- Place the th11_bossrush folder directly into your game folder. You do not need to move any files around, the patch folder should just be a subfolder of your game folder like this:
th11/
├─ replay/
├─ th11_bossrush/
│ ├─ data/
│ ├─ patch_en.bat
│ └─ patch_jp.bat
├─ snapshot/
├─ マニュアル/
├─ th11.dat
├─ th11.exe
├─ th11e.dat
├─ th11e.exe
└─ otherfiles- Run patch_jp.bat or patch_en.bat depending on which base files you wish to patch.
A new executable (th11boss.exe) and data file (th11boss.dat) should be produced directly into your SA folder, and they will not overwrite your old ones.
Changes:
- Obviously, the stage sections are removed.
- Most midbosses are removed.
- No continues. Hardcore.
- No bombs. Way hardcore.
- Power system is decoupled from bomb system.
- A new replay folder for boss rush replays will be created automatically.
- New demo replays.
- Certain mysterious gameplay changes.
- Other small graphical changes to reflect the game.
- ACHIEVE SATORI
Known Bugs:
- Card names are in japanese, even if patch is applied to english version, in which case they become mojibake. This is because I'm too lazy to create two versions of modified stage files. Will not be fixed.
- Choosing to "Continue" after clearing Extra stage will crash the game. This is because ZUN reuses the Game Over menu here, and the continue option redirects to the nonexistent restart option. Will not be fixed.
- Sometimes music does silly things with the demo replays. Please ignore.
This took wayyyyy longer than it should have. There were so many bumps in the road that required way more work than I first intended. I'm very glad this is done.

<----- My reaction to this topic.
The best thing I've seen all day.
of course its just 00:30 here but I'm sure it'll stay the best thing for the remaining 23:30 of the day
I've been hoping this would happen since it was done with UFO, this is great.
-
Almost cleared (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=28284). Game over on Subterranean Sun. I totally saw it coming.
-
I have wanted this for so long.
At last my prayers have been answered. Let the table flipping commence.
-
Ten Evil Stars whyyyyyy (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=28285). Gotta actually practice that pattern now :(
-
Sweet mother of.
Satori is a monster!
-
Whoa.....Step aside, Koishi... We've just found SA's Phantasm Boss.
I didn't even realize how long Satori was taking until I started getting Extends from her fight alone. :V
Also, the hardcore no-bombing forced me to actually learn how to Yuugi (specifically her second nonspell)
-
Edited out. Posted below.
Working as intended.
-
You mean something went horribly right.
-
Yes, something went horribly right.
-
God among gods among men YES
This is going to be my first time fighting any of the other Satori-s because so far I've been too lazy to full run with CharNotNamedReimuA.
Edit: This doesn't mesh with Vsynch? If it does then enlighten this moron, if it doesn't then do you need other methods to alter the screen size to whatever-the-hell?
-
Finally, this came out for real (I understand it was a joke before, but my spirits really sank when I read "APRILFOOL'SDAY" or whatever the message was over and over and over again in the command line). It works fine (weirdly enough, the title screen is the Japanese one, yet the dialogues are still English because I patched the English version. Weird).
-
Well one doesn't necessarily need the interface after having played it in English already.
The point is, Satori Rush is very real. No more Mind's Eye April Fools.

Boss Rush clear on lunatic with 5 lives total remaining. (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=28287)
Gosh dammit Drake, I was asleep when you made this thread ;_;
Ehh, so, the patch!!
Now that it's been released:
1. No one need ever complain about not being able to do Yamame's 1st non!
2. No one need ever complain about not being able to do Yuugi's 2nd non!
3. No one need ever complain about not being able to do Catwalk! (Oh my gosh, I can actually practice it without having to wait through the first minute of Stage 5 Every Time :V )
4. Lots of other attacks are now easy to practice! No need to wait about 3+ minutes through zzzy 99% staticy stages~ (Utsuho's 1st spell etc.) Thank you so so much Drake ;w;
Also, a myriad of other attacks are now super easy to practice! (DBDB) so everyone with difficulties with SA, get your asses on this patch cause it's probably the best thing to happen to SA besides an actual Spell Practice option! (which would be pretty nifty to have, please make it Drake!! )
I wanted to say this earlier, but I was asleep! (Now I am not, time to play more SA~)
Edit:
I'm gunna kill you for what you did to some of the attacks! (Not gunna say cause Spoilers )
Just going to say, I lost VERY GOODfreaking 6 lives RUNS to them!! (Still, I had a great laugh, haha)
Oh, and Happy Birthday!
2nd Edit: No smilies here~
-
Nice job on this. Should prove a fun challenge.
*Nope that didn't happen, nononono. I failed to NMNB the game on Hard. Yeah, that's way better way to put it.* I like what you did with Stage 4 though.
EDIT: Okay, having played it some more. I am really satisfied with this patch. Great work! Satori Rush is really fun. Only thing i can mention I don't like about it is how you didn't omit Strawdull Kamikuso. :V
-
so, what do I do when the game keeps crashing during the in-game loading screen? is there anything specific causing this or does my computer just really really hate me for treating it badly`?
-
I wanted to say Thank You for making this.

Also, this replay didn't work for me until I renamed it to th11_01.rpy. I haven't watched replays before so I don't know if this is standard procedure.
Also I guess there's some sort of a strange version mismatch because when I watch this replay, you lose all lives in Satori's 5th spellcard (http://i.imgur.com/HtsXQdo.jpg) in a very weird way, like you're dodging some other pattern. But I can look at stage 5 and 6 regardless if I jump directly to them.
-
I survived Boss Practice Satori!
Pathetico.
Considering I died like 3 times to Mercury Poison and didn't know how to do Nitori's snake-y spell, I think this was amusingly impressive.
Edit: Just survived again, with 4 full extra lives, with two deaths to Nitori's snake-y spell. That's a quick improvement. :&
-
Hmm. Boss rush doesn't normally appeal to me, but Subterranean Animism appeals to me a lot. Will be trying and probably horrendously dying almost instantly.
-
Only thing i can mention I don't like about it is how you didn't omit Strawdoll Kamikaze. :V
Clearly I need practice at this because I died 5 times to it.
Clearly I also don't need practice at DBDB because I captured that card yet again without feeling challenged by it.
-
it crashed during okuu whyyyy ;-;
-
Hmm. Interesting. I will be trying to clear the boss rush mode.
Thank you for your efforts Drake! Another awesome patch.
I'm hoping for the EoSD one but it probably won't happen.

Huh, those are weird problems... I don't really know the solution myself though :ohdear: Sounds like a desync like how Touhou 11 desyncs on Utsuho when you start replays on stage 6, but it may be something else.
Does this happen on other replays?

CPU meltdown :V

Sure it works, just rename th11boss.exe to th11.exe as you'd usually do.

Spoilers!
Using the safespot to BoWaP will cause Satori to flood the screen with hundreds of thousands of millions of bubbles, perverts!
I'd like to think it should be fine to use the safespot though since it's pretty tricky to get into after Deep Mist Labyrinth ;_;
Ten Evil Stars now has larger stars!! No vertical safespot! Great for trying to time out though~
Oy, you didn't remove the safespot to Recollection "Wind God Hidden Among Tree Leaves"! Although that's significantly harder to get into than BoWaP's, heh.
There may have been some other changes, but I haven't found them yet, hehe
If Drake doesn't want this posted then I'll delete this post~
-

What. That's like a centric part of that card, though. >.>
These changes are all... honestly not great. Way to screw over the veterans, Drake.
Also, for a moment I was thinking the thing with Stage 4 was the changed thing (although that is another change, haha).
EDIT: Oh, and before you think that I think the Stage 4 thing was bad, no, that's not it. I like that. Everything else... that's just trolling. >.>

Could even remove Orin's 1st non safespot too, just to be extra evil, haha!
I dunno, they're cool changes since Ten Evil Stars was very easy with the safe height, now it's actually a very strong card to fight!
Also, I've now learnt how to do BoWaP thanks to that~
I couldn't get the patch to work with my usual file (probably my fault, couldn't do it with the UFO one but other people definitely could, I'll look into it some time), so I had to start with a new one (no practice stages!).
It made those few changes extra cruel, heh, but they're pretty neat :3
-
Drake, you won't manage to make this hard for Nindel unless you take out all lives whatsoever. :V Or at least remove the star pieces.

Wow can we ban you please, seriously
Ten Evil Stars
They aren't bigger, the inner stars move along a larger radius, also only on H/L.
Anyways I'm seriously thinking I could just do the same as UFO and give 1-ups after every boss (yes, they actually exist in SA's instructions). You'd have the same amount going into Satori, just less overall.
-
I'm sorry if I said anything that's hurtful. Yeah, I know, that was harsh. I'm just not a fan of when something that was always there gets suddenly changed. And I know, it's to make the player actually try to dodge the patterns.
I didn't think the vertical safespot of Ten Evil Stars was that much of a safespot. I mean, you still have to dodge the yellow bullets, and that can get annoying.
Can we just not get the banhammer thrown into this? It's not like I'm insulting your dignity or something. I'm just offering criticism. Sorry if it's in any way hurtful. V_V
-
It isn't very strong criticism though, and I can see why he decided to reply like that instead of something level-headed. If you think something isn't ideal, prove it's such and only then lay on the meanie face. Considering this is opinion-based (I think it's a VERY welcome change) you kind of jumped the gun and have nothing to complain about. :V
Edit:
Sure it works, just rename th11boss.exe to th11.exe as you'd usually do.
Doesn't change anything.

Well so much for using the boss rush patch for perfect Utsuho attempts, back to sitting through 2 minutes of boring to get to the actual boss. (frivolous reason)
This probably isn't possible and if it is it's probably a huge pain, I see no problem with it for the boss rush since the intent is to make it challenging but in stage (boss) practice isn't the point to practice the bosses, and doesn't that change negate the practice there? So is it possible to have the boss rush read one file for the stage but stage/boss practice use a different file without the change?
I could say the same for specific Satori fights but that's not changing the pattern (related: BoWaP safespot doesn't really need practicing but the pattern does, and sitting in a safespot is different from sitting in a safeline because it's nothing vs. something) and the whole idea of a Satori Rush is really cool. Now if I could just stop dying to everything...

Okay, this is what I had a problem with. Sorry if I didn't express it earlier. But yeah, if there's these changes, then what's the point of practicing the bosses? It feels like for the people who are used to everything in the normal game, they're suddenly being punished for doing something that made sense in the original game, and Ten Evil Stars
is the most prominent example of this. It's probably the only example, though.
-
All I can say is with this patch I'll have had enough satori for a lifetime. However I guess my only criticism is that it is just weird to fight "all" 18 character recollections as any shot type. Now I'm not saying this because I am terrible at kamikaze doll and stuff of that sort but in a live run you aren't going to be fighting those cards as those shot types. If I mess up on let's say Border of Wave and Particle, I'd have to fight Satori's recollection and 17 character recollections for another no-death attempt.
She makes one heck of a phantasm-difficulty boss though in this manner.
-
Could you make a version of this with no other changes (besides removal of stage portions obviously), for actual practice purposes? This seems oriented just around the boss rush, not allowing almost anything I'd actually use boss practice for, like learning the bomb timing for grazing Yamame/Parsee with different shot types, or practicing safespots (yes I'm inconsistent at BoWaP safespotting, specifically dodging the potential Satori ram at the end, long stage doesn't encourage practice).
-
Just posting for Linux users:
1. Install folder where Drake instructed.
2. Open Terminal inside /SA Boss Rush
3. Run wine cmd4. Run patch.bat5. Launch t11boss.exe in your game folder.
Worked flawlessly for me, still trying it out.
EDIT: Great fun. Me and Orin are on a first-name basis.
-
Awesome job. Satori is fun as hell. Thanks for the patch!
-
Took one shot at it, was fun. Will play with it more next week when hopefully I have more time to spare.
Petition to get midboss Yuugi back in, or at least Oni Sign "Anomalies, Strength, Disorder, and Spirits". It's hard enough at least for me that some more practice at it would be cool.
Also, bwa ha ha ha ha BoWaP. Somehow I saw that coming. Satori needs her personal space!

There was a test version that was posted in IRC that still had bombs. The BoWaP
spot still does "that thing" but aside from that it was the same. If someone has it maybe they could upload and PM it or something. Checked myself but I guess I already got rid of it. Also on BoWaP, I think Nindel said to use her shoes as the guide. I usually just bombed into the spot because I get scared of ramming her, but it's pretty big and shouldn't really be too hard to get down. Never had her ram into me so I'm not sure what to say for avoiding that. Just kill her at 0.XX seconds and hope it works out I guess? Or maybe there's some sort of strategy for this that I don't know of.

I dunno, it's a pretty easy spell for most. Too many changes on minor things like this start to be a pleasing everyone sort of thing thing and it'd be a pain in the ass for Drake to make all sorts of little mods of the same patch. I sorta agree with Karisa that changing BoWaP
and Suns
was kinda dumb (hurts practice and if people want to dodge them they will, no need to force your preferences on others), but aside from that I wouldn't really change anything in this. Maybe we'll see spell practice patches in the future, but aside from really hard spells like cat walk (which is already in), and important scoring midbosses (I can't really think of any in SA) I don't think midbosses should really be in the boss rush patches. It's just more crap in the way of getting to the boss. The people that are having trouble with that stuff can still do it in normal practice mode and get some stage practice out of it too.

But practicing it in regular stage practice takes like sixty extra seconds! Everyone else should have to deal with it because sixty seconds is real inconvenient for me. :derp:
(If other people find it easy, nevermind. ;))

Drake: I love you.
Love the changes you did on a couple of spellcards too.

I am very kidding. I don't find your criticism strong, but more importantly I find that your posts have been very inconsiderate. PM.
Doesn't change anything.
Weird. Can you PM me a screenshot of your folder or something?
So is it possible to have the boss rush read one file for the stage but stage/boss practice use a different file without the change?
However I guess my only criticism is that it is just weird to fight "all" 18 character recollections as any shot type.
If it's possible, it would be much more of a pain than I'm willing to deal with, and Satori would be the only one this is useful for. Without practice mode, in order to practice all of Satori's patterns you have to go through the boss rush to get there, which I think is worse than playing Stage 4 to play only the cards you want. Maybe later I'll just release files that eliminates the stage portion that you can use with the patch.
not allowing almost anything I'd actually use boss practice for, like learning the bomb timing for grazing Yamame/Parsee with different shot types, or practicing safespots (yes I'm inconsistent at BoWaP safespotting, specifically dodging the potential Satori ram at the end, long stage doesn't encourage practice).
I get the scoring aspect, but if you want to practice scoring you should practice game-long. And I'm definitely not going to go encourage "safespot practicing" despite whatever use you may see of it :p
ten evil stars dumb change
I changed Ten Evil Stars because it's a huge wimp for a card at the end of the game. I really don't see how anyone playing Hard or Lunatic would see a big difference between playing Ten Evil Stars, and essentially doing nothing. Because you're essentially doing nothing. The boss practice is still for practice; I only significantly changed the play of one pattern that you should not need to practice ever. Is it really so important that you get to practice moving to the middle and tapping left and right a few times? Rather, does making the card actually worth playing somehow invalidate its use for practicing the reading of its bullets?
-
So how come you didn't change Yuugi's first boss card or whatever it is? It's more of a freebie than Ten Evil Star or anything ever in the history of Touhou Lunatic. Or maybe even Easy.
-
Naut suggested I replace it with the demo version the night before I posted and then I forgot about it.
-
I'm looking forward getting raped by Satori! :V
Good work Drake, I'm glad it's not a joke this time. :V
-
Weird. Can you PM me a screenshot of your folder or something?
Yes! (I can't read so -edit-)
-
http://i.imgur.com/TJnW9Ko.png
This is why hiding file extensions is bad, and you should turn that off.
Your vpatch is still launching the original th11.exe (displayed as th11), while you renamed your th11boss.exe to th11.exe.exe (which is (in)conveniently displayed as th11.exe). The point is to replace the original th11.exe with the patched one, so rename the original to something else first.
-
Mmm, no, I think I just misunderstood exactly what I need to rename / how the vpatch works. It's working now.
-
Yessss, you have no idea how happy I am....WHY DID MY COMPUTER HAVE TO BREAK.
*Ahem* I'll make sure to keep this patch in mind once I get back something to play Touhou on.
-
Naut suggested I replace it with the demo version the night before I posted and then I forgot about it.
Do it. I need to try this out sometime but considering how long I haven't played Touhou, I'm sure even Hard mode will destroy me.
-
Awesome! Now I want to leave work early to try this :P
-
edit: nevermind, I went full retard
-
Cleared it. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=28324) 1.8 lives remaining; would have been 4 if I hadn't died on Okuu's last 2 spells. :c
-
Yeah, put the demo version Shackles in, pretty please.
-
The Satori rush is ridiculously fun. Thanks a million for including that.
Everything else is very well done. Guess I have to learn to do ten stars legitimately now :(
-
The demos are pretty hilarious, too.
-
If I may add a suggestion it would be to kick out Parsee and make Yamame drop an extend on her final instead. :V
-

Please don't bully Parsee :ohdear:
She'll just get more jealous!
-
Why would you kick Parsee out? Is it because she's easy? Then you might as well remove Yamame and Yuugi as well.
-
Nereid keeps dying to Yuugi and has complained about dying to Yamame and Parsee before so they must be doing something right.
-
But I'll die on anything, so I wouldn't base anything on my performance.
edit: I posted a clear video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCUd6I48kNo)
-
I got hit by Parsee's 1st non a few days ago. Stuff happens. :V
-
Since you have a confirmation? in your bugs section I will give it to you.
Yes the game crashes when you pick the top option after clearing extra. I remember back in the day when I used to find her hard, now I can beat her easily without bombs.
-
Thanks. I figured it was going to be the same as UFO since I use the same method to disallow continues and I doubt ZUN would've had a reason to change the EX clear menu to the game over menu for UFO, so. Before public release I did a run of Koishi to check, grabbed a perfect, then forgot why I was playing in the first place and quit immediately on clear, and I really just didn't want to bother running through again, doop.
-
Nice though I will mostly be playing this for Satori.
I hope you don't mind me asking but how did you get those other spells into the game, the scripts are too confusing and I have only been able to give bosses extreme amounts of health or have them skip non spells? (You'll still get the life piece too.) I was trying to port MOF to SA awhile ago but I stopped because enemies weren't affected by my shots and there is this invisible thing that stops the stage script if you destroy it and of course since the boss dialog clears all enemies from the screen the boss never shows up. You'll get to enjoy the music though lol.
-
I don't think you'll be surprised by me just answering "it's hard". There's little documentation about the instructions since all it does is decompile the ecl file in a readable form, much like decompiling an executable into machine code, and I don't blame xarnonymous for not wanting to study how each instruction works lol. It took several weeks to finish this and UFO for the same reason; understanding the flow of instructions is a challenge.
Porting MoF scripts into being run by SA could be done since the ecl files use the same instructions more or less, but you will very likely have to modify the executable as well in order for things to work coherently at all. I think I ran into the same problem you're talking about when cutting out the stage and patterns for MoF stage 6.
-
I can understand where you're coming from. But still even with little knowledge of the game's code you still managed to do an impressive hack.
I guess I'll just fool around with the scripts and see what happens.
-
Lol @ the surprise buttsecks for BoWaP safespotting. You should've done the same for Orin's nonspells. :V

Thanks for making this.
SA was pretty brutal compared to Ten Desires(only one I've played a lot) and I really missed spell practice mode.

This truly is awesome! Thanks a lot for making this, having lots of fun with this.
Also it seems that increasing the radius on the inner circle of stars on Okuu's third spell card has inadvertedly created a new "safespot" :V (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySMEobi6gr4)

I am totally okay with that spot.

Can Marisa even get into that? It looked like a very tight squeeze through the suns.

Yeah, easily. Getting up there isn't the hard part though!

Yeah, it doesn't work for me. Of course, because when i put the folder into my SA Archive, and use patch.bat, nothing appears, neither happens
I do not understand it D:

y u do dis give mi bombs back
Seriously, why did you have the idea of removing the bombs? You get enough power from the bosses and planted stage enemies, and half of the shots' bombs (along with the hots themselves) are very poor. Having no continues is fine, but no bombs? Casual Touhou players can't do that. :colonveeplusalpha:
Essentially, the patch turns the game into this:
gameStart;
if Death > 0;
then gameOver;
else gameComplete; //No lives left
end
Too hard, Drake. Way too hard. (Same goes with the UFO patch. Of course you had to do 2 of the most difficult games in the whole series.)

I haven't tried it, but I think someone said using the modified .dat (renamed back to th11.dat) with the original .exe file gives you just the modified stages, for use in practicing bomb-grazing Parsee or whatever.
Not sure how well it functions though, and you should back up your score.dat regardless before trying anything of course.
-
Replays will be completely broken because they won't save to the replays_boss folder and they will desync anyways. Besides that the two aren't connected enough to cause other issues, probably.

There's a part of me that wants bombs
and the part of me that just wants to git good
this is fun as hell though and satori is amazing now
EDIT: and apparently I'm a year late to the party

There's a part of me that wants bombs
Which is the whole of me right now.
Drake, how did you make this patch? I want to modify it so that I can use bombs.
-
As was already mentioned in the thread, you can rename the th11boss.dat back to th11.dat and run it with the original executable. This lets you bomb.
It also lets you continue, even though it still says out of order. I was highly amused when I realized dying to BoWaP brings you back to the beginning of the Satori, so you can enjoy Satori all over again. :D
Personally, I think no-bombs is better unless you're bombing for score or something, but whatever.
