| YuyuKoishi7:
I play on Windows 7. It sounds so complex! Just to be sure, which locale do you use? Maybe I should switch to the one you use in order to make it work? |
| yoshimo:
I use the English (United States) locale. I know that works. I have not received confirmation or negation on other locales other than the Japanese locale. If you're going to switch to a different locale, you may as well just switch to Simplified Chinese and play the game without the patch unless you want the text box bounding to work. Also, I have found more information regarding the Japanese locale issues. It appears the encoding does not support certain bytes that are passed to it. As a failsafe, it changes the bytes to something else. I'm not sure how it gets to the "something else." What I do know is that it ruins the string in a way that cannot be easily fixed. In fact, it might be impossible to fix, as you really can't get back lost text. I am considering implementing language-specific fixes, but that would be really inefficient; however, it is increasingly seeming to be the best fix. |
| yoshimo:
IMPORTANT UPDATE! The Japanese locale (hopefully) is now supported! I spent an entire day figuring a fix for you guys; be happy! :3 I also implemented a very important fix that affects all locales. Model loading didn't work correctly on locales other than English. This would cause issues in certain stages, and will probably cause a crash! Because of this, I highly recommend all users update their patch to version 1.0.2! Check the original post for the download! Side note to YuyuKoishi: I cannot replicate the issue that you report having, so I cannot look for a fix right now. Once I find a pattern with those who suffer the problem, I will immediately look for a fix! |
| RegalStar:
(Japanese locale) Now the game will run all the way to the final boss, but it seems that loading the ending still causes a crash. Less seriously, all conversations are now gibberish. |
| yoshimo:
Darn, I was really hoping I wouldn't have to deal with spoiling content. I will look into this immediately. The garbage text is normal as it's supposed to be decoded by the Chinese locale, but it's being decoded in UTF-8. This is done simply to prevent certain locales from crashing. A translation patch should resolve the problem as long as it's compatible with my patch. I am very sorry with the inadequate amount of testing I am doing. I am prioritizing this project over playing the game myself, so I don't test the game fully as I've only gotten to Stage 4. I will update the OP to explain that there are still issues. I'd also like to personally apologize if you were doing a legitimate run and this happened. I was really hoping something like that would never happen; it may as well be my worst nightmare is respect to this project. EDIT: Okay, this is actually very bad. This is so bad, I'm pulling the download off the original post. Encoding.Default is actually used in many places.This means a lot of data get decoded differently in several different aspects of the game. THE PLAYER SCORES ARE SAVED THIS WAY, which means that any .dat files people share MIGHT NOT BE COMPATIBLE ACROSS LOCALES. I will put the download back once I can eliminate all of these issues, because there's nothing worse than segregating a game community. EDIT 2: Maybe not as bad as I initially thought. Player data seems to load fine no matter what the locale is due to the characters used for it being near universal. I am however staying wary of it. EDIT 3: I am NOT playing through the whole game just to debug a crash. Let me take a shortcut and give myself a boost. ;) ...Even with the boost, I'm absolute trash and beating her is difficult. FINAL EDIT: After struggling with beating this woman (Don't take that out of context!) for at least an hour, I believe I may have fixed the issue. I made seemingly appropriate changes to the several locations where the default encoding was used, and I do not receive a crash when the ending loads on either English or Japanese locales. Before you ask, no, I am not debugging other locales right now. I will debug a locale once someone reports there being an issue with it, as YuyuKoishi and RegalStar did. Before I distribute this new release candidate, I need to do some final checks, but I will need time to do that. |
