  5. Okay some more background information about this problem just to try to make sense of everything. - For the remastered version developed by Nitroplus, it is available on both Steam and JAST USA. - The steam version was released on Aug, 12, 2019, and it also has a Chinese localization by Kagura Games. Not sure about the JAST version. - On Aug 13, 2019, JAST released a free update patch for the original Saya no Uta that supposedly changes/changed the game to the remastered version including the game engine. Compared to the original, JAST says the remastered has better CGs, a better translation, Win10 compatibility, and an obnoxious script.npk format on a new game engine. Maybe it is the same engine but they updated the game engine version? I have not tested JAST's upgrade patch to test JAST's claims yet, but might later. - JAST says the release version is May 05, 2013, but it is not clear if this date is for JAST's original localization of Saya no Uta or for the remastered version. Probably this is the release date for their original version, but I am not sure. - VNDB says the game engine for the new remastered version is Diesel Engine of which there are quite a few translations available, but I have not looked through that list to see if any of those translation involve unofficial patches yet. If they do, then that is proof that some method already exists to patch the game engine to load custom scripts. - Both Steam and JAST's remastered versions use the same .npk format to pack the script.npk file indicating they are likely both on same game engine version despite any superficial differences in marketing. - However, those superficial differences in the game engine are a substantial difference in content since the Steam version is censored because Steam. JAST has a DLC/patch available to fix the Steam version. In other words, the Steam release should be avoided due to censorship, which is pretty typical of Steam + VNs in general. - Garbro recognizes this *.npk format and, besides none, has 3 existing decryption schemes for it, Minikui Mojika no Ko, Sonicomi, Tokyo Necro, but nothing works on the script.npk file. - There is this person on steam that claims 'It's possible to patch the game, since it uses the same NPK2 archive format that Tokyo Necro and Sonicomi uses. The only thing is, the encryption must be cracked.' -Exciel - The ascii/string header for the script.npk file in a hex editor is NPK2, 4E 50 4B 32 02 00 00 00 , or NPK2 'STX'. Conclusions: - The next step towards developing a patch for the remastered version is to look through the Diesel Engine list to see if any version has an unofficial patch available for the script files. - Then either 1) obtain the Diesel Engine and see if it can unpack the script.npk file or 2) reverse engineer the obfuscation and or encryption in the script.npk to unpack it. Repacking should be possible by using the original game engine, or just reverse engineering that packing process too. The alternative way to patch this game is to use the original version instead, which seems to be fully open source?, instead of the remastered version that uses .npk. Besides CGs, there does not appear to be any major content differences. The difference in translation quality does not matter if translating it again. The Win 10 compatibility thing seems more like a marketing gimmick that should be easily fixable for the original version somehow.
  6. Ever been interested in the history of visual novel "fan improvement" patches that have come up over the years? This video will go over most of the major ones along with potential pros and cons. Includes H Scenes, Overall Presentation, and Translations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB28Ke2H2XY
  7. Honestly, I don't understand the code you gave me very well either. The use of re is to replace something, I have used it before to download the photos of a Hentai manga to a CBZ file, making the script capture the name of the page and save it in a variable, and then a re acts on the variable deleting the characters that are not accepted in names, because otherwise the script fails because it cannot save the file The code you give me is in both Java and Python Where I know a little is Python and my_string='fahuo aaaa dislgjsd oooodfuabfaaaaaagAAAAAAdggs iiiii' #(?i) means case insensitive and global is enabled by default for re.sub new_string = regex.sub( r'(?i)([a-z])\1\1\1+', r'\1\1\1', my_string) I think what this does is act on the my_string variable to create the new_string variable with the same value as my_string but reducing the repetitions, or I don't know, since it is regex.sub instead of re.sub and I don't know if this checks some difference, but I see that it acts on a code variable already established, and not extracted from elsewhere. My script on the other hand is automatic execution. Just create a file.py in the Excel folder, open it with a text editor and paste my script inside it. Then just by Double Clicking it will reduce the repetitions in all the Excel in the folder (If there is any Excel open it will fail) Keep in mind that you must have both Python and the necessary libraries to run the script installed on your computer. I think you only need openpyxl because it is a basic part of Python Installed with Windows+R/cmd/ pip install openpyxl
  8. While some may ponder on why 0 exist when the original Steins Gate is already conclusive enough, the answer is surprisingly simple, namely to allow Mages to milk Steins Gate as much as possible. Of course, adapting from the ending directly would obviously very controversial (And back then Mages still has some standard to not going DaSH), so they decided to show us on what happen with Okabe when he did his best to raise up from his big failure. So the fans would see that Okabe's journey to get the true ending is not simply skip the game and then peek the walkthrough to see the correct choice, but instead it'll be full of complication and danger. Anyway, for the VN, actually it's the adaptation of the light novel of Steins Gate spin off, so in a way 0 is like the fandisc despite calling it as midquel (Not sequel) is also fit because it happen in the middle of Steins Gate. Lastly, I can say that at least Mages still write some nice character writing, especially in regard of Daru and Suzuha relationship. That's all for what I can comment in regard of Steins Gate 0. PS - I did remember that initially it didn't have PC version, but the people at Committee of Zero worked hard to add this on PC back when it's just released in 2016.
  9. i've had this little Sweetie♥ on Preorder from AmiAmi (an Exclusive) since some time way back within 2023. She was due out in March 2024... and She just Came Today~ She mates-up to the Natural-Skintone OBITSU 26 very well indeed;
  10. Here is the updated script that merges the code I wrote and yours. I have not tested it because running files that do anything without user input terrifies me. The *.xlsx file enumeration code is very interesting. It only uses the os standard library instead of glob that most people use. It is functional programming though, so no clue how it works!

  12. Greetings Friends, I've been super busy creating custom music for clients, but I did manage to upload a new MP3 track that you can freely use in your projects, just like my thousands of other tracks. It's on my Sci-Fi 12 page: "ANCIENT ALIEN WORLDS" https://soundimage.org/sci-fi-12/ The Ogg version is available on Gumroad. CUSTOM WORK If anyone needs help with custom music, feel free to contact me...I'd love to help!
  13. Tokyo Babel maybe? https://vndb.org/c15447 Edit: To be clear, this is literally the only VN that came to mind when I put together 'black hair, non-standard art-style, demonic heroine, and technically human protagonist'.
  14. Ohh, thanks for the Mega and Internet Archive link Yes, those two sites are not blocked, Mega does have the little detail that it has a free download limit of only 4GB per IP (to download VN I jump between public PCs) I'll download them later, today I got sleepy walking around with screens (a lot of vice) (I'm writing in Spanish and translating with Google, if you don't understand what it says, then I don't either, keep alternating between ¨very addictive¨ and ¨a lot of vice¨ that thing, let's see what it turns out to be...) Anyway, then I will download it and for the repetitions I will write down that code because there are never too many codes But I created this Python script that reduces the dialogs for me as well My script works as follows 1- It must be executed in a folder with Excel files and none must be open or the execution will fail 2- It will go through cell by cell of each Excel 3- It will look for the characters from A to Z that are repeated 6 times and change them to 5, it will repeat this process until it fails because it does not find 6 repetitions 4- It will change characters repeated 5 times for 4 followed by ellipses (...) import you import openpyxl import re # Function to replace sequences of six identical letters with five def replace_six_by_five(cell_value): pattern = re.compile(r'([a-z])\1{5}', re.IGNORECASE) while pattern.search(cell_value): cell_value = pattern.sub(r'\1\1\1\1\1', cell_value) return cell_value # Function to replace sequences of five identical letters with four and '...' def replace_five_by_four(cell_value): return re.sub(r'([a-z])\1{4}', r'\1\1\1\1...', cell_value, flags=re.IGNORECASE) # Function to process Excel files def process_excel_files(): excel_files = [f for f in os.listdir('.') if f.endswith('.xlsx')] for file in excel_files: workbook = openpyxl.load_workbook(file) for sheet in workbook.worksheets: for row in sheet.iter_rows(): for cell in row: if isinstance(cell.value, str): cell.value = replace_six_by_five(cell.value) cell.value = replace_five_by_four(cell.value) workbook.save(file) print(f'File {file} processed.') # Run the script process_excel_files()
  15. The program version has been updated and everything works now. Thanks to crskycode.
  16. i feel like the color was either black/violet/dark blue. the art style is kinda similar to hakuoki i think
  17. i saw file game in steam is .npk file I don't know if there are any other files.
  18. Visual Novel Translation Status (24/03/2024) Welcome to this week VNTS Reviews, and for the title I'll tell it in PS. As for this week, compared to the last one we have several updates, so in theory this should be interesting week. That said, those updates are not quite interesting to me for the most part, but it still worth to note anyway. So overall this week is an almost average one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it. Shinzou Translation released Nagi no Koi on last Sunday. For the VN itself, I knew that it has two love stories with one of the story has amnesiac MC, while the other story has the MC find his happiness in the arranged marriage after he failed yo become the lord in his territory, and I also knew the team got the approval from the developer to work on this. Feel free to get Nagi no Koi of you're interested, and have fun. For the rest of fan translation updates, we have Akagoei 3 is at 48.12% translated, Majikoi Ryouken After is at 46.19% translated, Taima Seiko Alice is at 20% edited, and Ushieta is at 35.6% translated with Airi's route is past halfway (55.7%) translated. HuneX announced they currently will release Steam Prison FD within this year, and as the bonus there'll be English version of it with Mangagamer responsible for the translation work. No much to say other than it's nice that it's also will be available on PC. We also have PQube announce new Memories Off, SINce Memories, with the most important thing is it'll be available in English, which mean it's the first Memories Off VN in English. To elaborate, Memories Off series is the series of charage by KID, and Never7 slice of life writing is obviously influenced by Memories Off series with the sci-fi plot appear near the end. For the release time, it's still unknown when PQube will do it. That said, I know the artist is the one who work on Aonatsu Line and Yukiiro Sign (Also Aquatope anime), and I immediately recognize her style when I saw the announcement. Aniplex announce their newest VN, Tanetsumi no Uta, with them will release it in this year. For it's premise, it's about the 16 years old young girl Misuzu who's going to the adventure to face True Winter with Misuzu's late mother in her youth, Misuzu's future daughter, and Misuzu's stillborn little brother. Aniplex also announced the exact release date for their (Redundant) Tsukihime Remake Part 1, and it'll be on June 27th later. It's too bad there's no PC version announcement of this, although it may took a year to work on it just like Mahoyo. Shiravune finally announced the exact release date for Kara no Shoujo 2, and it'll be on April 19th later. What I can say is the release are mostly redundant since we already have the translation for Kara no Shoujo 2 since 2015 thanks to Mangagamer. If anything else, at least Innocent Grey made the trial (Which is very different from the main story) as the Prologue in the new version that Shiravune took. Lastly, they also announce Shukusei no Girlfriend 2 which is inevitable if we see Criminal Border. The sequel here put the focus on the new girl to focus is Maja, although she's not exactly new with here appear in the first part as the magical girl who antagonize the MC. No idea of the exact release date for this, but Shiravune listed Q2 2024 (ie at most June 30th) as the estimation time, and let's hope there won't be any complication before the release. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week. PS - Since we have new VN announcement with the artist herself worked on Yukiiro Sign, I made the parody of Sherlock Holmes 'The Sign of the Four' with I changed 'Four' into 'Two' because we have Kara no Shoujo 2 exact release date announcement, which is very fitting seeing both of Sherlock Holmes and Reiji (Kara no Shoujo MC) are detectives.
  19. I hate to say it, but that doesn't really narrow it down. Demon and half-demon heroines are pretty common in visual novels. What color was her hair? Her eyes? What kind of story was it?
  20. This game has a ridiculous number of releases, which makes sense given its age. Which version do you have that has that .npk file? There are other versions like this one that do not have .npk files and are playable via various interpreters. I have not found one for Windows, but I also have not looked very hard. It seems to be an The text files are in plain text as well. Different releases use different game engines, so it might be worth checking out the other ones unless you have a particular reason to prefer the release that has the .npk. What are the reasons to use that one?
  21. Okay so, hear me out, there's been a long ass drought of Ace Attorney, and so you should totally checkout Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane. It's a heavily inspired Ace Attorney indie VN that'll make you feel right at home. Kinda pricey at 20 bucks, but you get the standard 5 case Ace Attorney experience with all the fun point and click exploration/investigations and climactic cross examinations with moderatos and allegros and slightly over the top characters you could ask for. And yes Arcane is in the title because there's also magic. Like, this 'dumbass noble mage totally used the magicks to commit this crime' type of magic ^This clown here's Nick- I mean uhh Tyrion Cuthbert (Teer-ee-on? Ty-ry-on? Cooth-bert???). Yo Idk dafuq kinda name the devs were going for, but at least he got the desk slams like Nick. ^This cutie here is Maya Fey. She's a mage named Celeste this time around, and Tyr's actually competent sidekick/bodyguard. Btw Tyr has his own built in Athena Cyke's Mood Matrix via his "Eye of Horus" where he can involuntarily pick up on people's thoughts and emotions (yellow text + purple/blue emojiis above). Kind of makes him overpowered at times with the level of omniscience he can get but it's cool. Not every day you get a protag who can Maximillion Pegasus Millenium Eye these fools ^This hottie's Aria Steelwind. The female Miles Edgeworth I guess. She's cool. Ice princess type. There's also romance, if you care for that LOL! Go play it
  22. To my mind, space sci-fi represents the optimism for the future that has yet to be repressed by people's increasingly negative outlook on our civilization's future. They are futures full of exploration, danger, and wonder, with cultures both different and the same. While many space sci-fi are dark in atmosphere, that doesn't get around the fact that even in the darkest space science-fiction, there are wonders and horrors that stimulate the mind and the spirit. I usually don't make distinctions between types of future sci-fi (as opposed to modern day sci-fi), incidentally. Space sci-fi is relatively rare in JVNs, which are my specialty. One that comes to mind is Fake Azure Arcology, where people were forced to flee from a massive storm of asteroids that devastated Earth's surface, forming unique civilizations within the arcologies they fled to. In a mix of high technology and restrictive lifestyle, it describes the unchanging human condition, even in circumstances that are drastically different. Komorebi no Nostalgica, one of my favorite sci-fi VNs of all time, is based in a world where humans warred against their AI slaves until the slaves won freedom, at the cost of taking the bullet for humanity destroying its own history for the convenience of politicians. It is a world where, interestingly, history is mostly lost to the younger generation, with the older generation only having faded memories of what was destroyed. In this game, society has almost become a blank slate, and the game extensively explores the troubles and possibilities of human-like AI in the two different types - the ancient android Cinema, , and the victorious Metocell, whose emotional emulation evolves over time and experience. More familiar to English-speaking readers is the dystopian worldscape of the Baldr series, where people have practically fled into the virtual world to escape the limitations of the physical. While the Baldr series is a fun read, it is also the most cynical and pessimistic approach to sci-fi I've seen in VNs. It shows the nastiness of human nature, the poor decision making of those with power, and the inevitable failures of a society that lost its way long ago again and again. In the Baldr series, AI alternates between 'ghosts' of the deceased, god-like beings that are omniscient in their own way, and monstrous amalgams that blindly follow their programming with only a surface imitation of flexibility and thought. Sci-fi can be a wonder or horror, but it is always looking at the future.

  24. I want to translate into my language. but i cant extract .npk file do you have any tool or extract .npk file to help me pls
  25. The page I pointed to lists 3 options for offline translation. Sugoi, LEC, and Atlas. Once the Textractor plugin is downloaded, the software is available 1. Sugoi has a repackage I made available here which is available on Mega and has additional links for the latest model on other hosting providers. The licenses for everything are at the bottom. The software itself is open source, but the model itself is redistributable but only under a non-commercial license. The software required to run it that went into the repackage is available from github. See the thread for links. Mega and github are not blocked right? 2. LEC might refer to LEC Power Translator. Description - Power Translator is advanced machine translation software capable of translating text, chat, emails, web pages, documents, pdfs, jpgs and scans in English to/from Brazilian, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Russian. Commercial software. Not redistributable. 3. Atlas might refer to Fujitsu's ATLAS which has been discontinued. Commercial software. Not redistributable. Edit: In order to produce the patch, I used the UI in my repackage. But if you just want the Sugoi Toolkit to work for offline stuff, then you can download it from the links I provided in the "Sugoi Toolkit" section. If Patreon is blocked, then perhaps the internet archive link works? There is also this pixeldrain link for Sugoi Toolkit 8.0 that was posted on f 95 zone. Edit2: Oh! I forgot to mention I solved that repeating character issue. By 'I solved' I mean that I asked an expert and had them do it for me and then I copied their regex. Here is a demo at regex101. In regex 1. find the characters [a-Z] in the following string 2. For any of those characters that repeats more than 3 times 3. reduce the maximum number of repetitions to a maximum of 3 __code__ ([a-z])\1\1\1+/gi, $1$1$1 __code__ So in javascript, it would be... __code__ const regex = /([a-z])\1\1\1+/gi; // Alternative syntax using RegExp constructor // const regex = new RegExp('([a-z])\\1\\1\\1+', 'gi') const str = "fahuo aaaa dislgjsd oooodfuabfaaaaaagdggs iiiii \n" "AAAAAAAA BBBBBBBB hhfasfuahaaaaaHHHHHHH OOOHHHHHHHH"; const subst = `$1$1$1`; // The substituted value will be contained in the result variable const result = str.replace(regex, subst); console.log('Substitution result: ', result); __code__ In Python it would be... __code__ try: import regex except: # https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html import re as regex my_string='fahuo aaaa dislgjsd oooodfuabfaaaaaagAAAAAAdggs iiiii' #(?i) means case insensitive and global is enabled by default for re.sub new_string = regex.sub( r'(?i)([a-z])\1\1\1+', r'\1\1\1', my_string) print(new_string) #prints: fahuo aaa dislgjsd ooodfuabfaaagAAAdggs iii __code__
  26. so all i remember is that its either the guy is human and the girl is a demon/magical being. or that the guys is a magical being/demon and the girl is human. the art is beautiful . i cant remember what platform it was released i havent really played it so some info might not be correct like they might be half demon or half human or something please can anyone help me remember this visual novel
  27. Greetings! The weekly Dev Status is here! We’ve made just several more improvements to the story and we can say the players’ feel of the first version’s plot is finally perfect. Mostly we’ve added new lines for some situations for them to be more clear and clean, as well as revamped one of the backgrounds. But these minor changes led to greater outcome. While we’re going through the code and its complexness our writer has already begun planning the specifics of the story of the future versions. We’ll gladly tell you more when they’re ready. We’ve also been thinking through how to easily send feedback about the game to us. Other than simple polls we wanted to know your opinion on specific features right after your experience them, so you could not only tell us what you like and dislike but let us know how you felt during your walkthrough. Thus, we’ve decided to add optional forms that you can fill if you’re willing to. The more feedback you give, the better Project Genome will become. Thanks for reading. Don’t forget to subscribe to our socials for more: Patreon | Boosty | Subscribestar | Itch | Discord | YouTube | X (Twitter) | Instagram | VK | Telegram Yours truly, Fluffy Tail Studio —RUS— Приветствуем! Еженедельный Статус Разработки уже здесь! Мы внесли еще несколько улучшений в историю и можем сказать, что игровое ощущение сюжета первой версии наконец идеально. В основном мы добавили новые реплики для некоторых ситуаций, чтобы они были более красивыми и понятными, а также переработали один из фонов. Но эти незначительные изменения привели к выдающемуся результату. Пока мы разбираемся с кодом и его сложностью, наш автор уже начал планировать особенности сюжета будущих версий. Мы с радостью расскажем вам больше, когда они будут готовы. Мы также продумали, как можно легко отправить фидбек об игре. Помимо простых опросов, мы хотели узнать ваше мнение о конкретных функциях сразу после того, как вы ознакомитесь с ними, чтобы вы могли не только рассказать нам, что вам нравится и что не нравится, но и сообщить, что вы чувствовали во время прохождения. Таким образом, мы решили добавить дополнительные формы, которые вы можете заполнить, если захотите. Чем больше фидбека вы дадите, тем лучше станет Project Genome. Спасибо за прочтение.
