As some of you noticed we have another visitor from the Chinese Touhou scene over at DoujinSTG.  In the past they've made contact with players such as ycw and newcashcash, but not much has transpired beyond that.  A visit by Dodgeball brought forth the question of whether or not more foreign players will come to the site, so this is an invitation to take part in their competition and any future events that may arise.  Now, it did start about a week ago and I failed to say anything because I'm lazy and irresponsible.  They're also apparently offering a prize with some monetary value, but this is more for having some presence in their community.


The main thread.  The second challenge of this three-parter has just commenced and will last until July 8 at 15:59 GMT.  I'll admit that at this moment I'm not 100% certain of the conditions of this challenge and will try to find out ASAP.

The registration process should go smoothly enough with a machine translator.  There will be a verification question which seems to only ask for the name of one of the games (it'll be numbered).  You can grab the answer from here.  Posting is pretty simple, but I haven't experimented with all the options.  To upload a replay with their system you can refer to the image below.




The competition thread also requires you to hide your submissions by setting the faith level to 100.  Might not be 100% on this since some replays are available for download, but my submission was eventually covered up.



It'll put tags around your post so you can remove those if you were posting elsewhere and hid the content by accident.


Now!  For the ability to save practice replays which I'm sure more people are interested in, and were it not around this particular event wouldn't exist.  Thread is here (should be accessible to visitors).  Unfortunately, I can't offer precise instructions to get it to work.  From whatever the translator is feeding me I'm led to believe that the Chinese patch has a part in it (and where to obtain it?), but I'm also told that it isn't necessary.  I'll just leave this here to make it more public and everything.

So, I hope those playing the games will enjoy having another welcoming community to interact with.

From my quick read of the Chinese threads...

The details for the competition (part 2):
Quote from: Chinese
挑战东方红魔乡Stage3任意难度。道中No Shoot(中BOSS可以射击,道中其他地方射击录像作废),并撞指定的杂兵(可以用决死,但请注意Miss和Bomb后无敌状态撞的不算数)。要求通关。
请玩家选择一个难度挑战,如果挑战多个难度,则只有其中最高难度的积分有效哦。

指定杂兵:
所有毛玉列队的最后一只
前半段道中两列一对妖精的最后靠旁边的妖精。
Challenge EoSD Stage 3 any difficulty.
Stage portion no shoot (can shoot in mid-boss, replay disqualified if shoot in any other part of the stage portion).
[With the character, I assume] hit/slam onto [as many as possible] these specific wisps and fairies [shown in the picture].
(You can deathbomb, but stuff hit during bomb/death invincibility do not count)
Please choose a difficulty to challenge; if you try multiple difficulties, only the score on the highest difficulty counts.

The fairies / wisps to hit:
1. the last wisp of each line



2. the last fairy further to the side

How points are awarded:

Lunatic:通关获得2积分,撞上每2只指定的毛玉获得1.5积分(最后计算时去掉小数部分),每只指定的妖精2积分,取得3SC获得1积分,取得5SC获得3积分。
Easy - 1 point for: a) stage clear, b) hitting every 2 wisps or fairies.

Instructions on installing the patch
If your EoSD has Chinese patch, replace files with the ones in th06_cn.zip
Otherwise, use the programs in th06_replaypatch.zip to patch (one is for Japanese and one is for English, dunno which)
If non works, then your EoSD is not v1.02h, or that you patched it with something else.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These challenges are really creative :V Hmmm, maybe I'll try since it's EoSD, but I can't deathbomb very well...

I...thank you.  So that's what it was!  Should have tried a little harder to understand it.

I've tried both of the replay patches to no avail (it always seems to be looking for the .exe file from th06_cn.zip which won't run by itself).  I'll bug one of the members for the Chinese patch since it was rather short-sighted of me to drop this invitation here with no easy means of joining in.

Also, the first challenge has been extended by a week since the second one is running for two weeks.  Not too late to fit in a submission (after I cough up a working method)!

For this one you'll receive points for reaching graze targets before Patchouli's battle as well as capturing spells (not applicable on Easy).  Shooting and dying is allowed, but no bombing during the stage portion.

I almost forgot this challenge. It's much more fun than the lmperishable Night (dancing with the rabbits) challenge.

Oh look I'm still the worst for not finding an easy way to get the patch to work.  I'll put something up eventually, someday.  Or if you care enough you'll register to read the threads and find another way to run the patch.

Third challenge is up (for over a day now) and doesn't require the patch because it's EoSD Extra!  Two weeks as usual.  Any shot type and a clear isn't required, but the player should meet one of the minimum point requirements which are as follows:

Graze:
2000   1 Point
4000   2 Points
6000   4 Points
8000   6 Points
9999   7 Points

Point Items:
100   1 Point
200   2 Points
300   3 Points
400   5 Points
500   6 Points

Score:
100M   2 Points
200M   3 Points
300M   4 Points
400M   6 Points
500M   7 Points
