Frequently Asked Questions and Problems (Tech Questions Go Here!)

@ Alfredo Jones - Google Translate seems to be temp blocking any IP that sends them enough translation requests in a row.

SysTran and Infoseek still work, though.

My own odd question - I bought a doujin game on dmm.co.jp/en/ for the first time and am having a pretty weird problem - the page that I'd download the game from,

You must be registered to see the links

, loads the very top bar and nothing else.

In comparison,

You must be registered to see the links

, with the various Debonosu games I've bought, loads perfectly fine (as do the video and ebook tabs, which load fine and tell me I haven't bought any).

But the doujin games page does, well, this.


I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that shouldn't be happening. (I've sent a support request to DMM, but fuck knows when they'll reply.)

Any ideas on what's going wrong?

Edit: And the bizarre answer was I jsut needed to click the Japanese button, which shifted it over to the correct formatted and I could download my purchase. Wacky.

Here's a question - why are opening posts/threads that don't contain proper information even allowed? If you're going to make a thread about game, post the relevant information - what kind of games is it, what fetishes are in, and so on.

It's not allowed, but there no script to auto detect & act in such case. You need to point it out to the relevant forum members, and even then, they usually ask the thread starter to update the 1st post before doing anything else.

But yeah, recently there has been more thread started without much of info....

Hey, I don't know if this is the right thread to ask this but I was wondering if anybody knew how MATURE QUEST in particular displays the protagonist's sprite on screen and changes appearance when she changes costumes. It's obviously some kind of script but I can't for the life of me find out which one makes it work like that, it's probably a conbination even. So if anybody knows anything about that please let me know, some help would be appreciated.

I've been dealing with this issue for a while but it seems like games made in GMS2 all have no audio for me? I don't get sound in Ghost Hunter Vena, Parasite in city, or Anthophobia, but I used to so I can only assume it has something to do with either my BIOS, my drivers, or a Windows update, anyone know what to do to get the sound back?

May i ask for some help regarding the following: line 1350:Errno::EACCES occurred.
Permission denied - Save/system_data.rvdata2

This error occurred on Fallen bitch leona's exhibitionist atelier.

 

[Byzantine2014]

That's an odd one, try:
-Running as administrator
-Check game extracted correctly (sometimes there's a mistake during extraction)
-Check the error file is actually in the game data folder, and hasn't managed to disappear off somewhere; also check permissions for said file (right click, then properties)
I haven't played the game, so if that doesn't work then try checking the game thread if you haven't already. Hope it does work though!

Hello, I wanted to ask if anyone knows how to extract text from pac/idx files then convert it back

 

[Belkezar]

[Windows 10] - Strange text error I've been having a few Studio Ego!/Debonosu games - which is that the in-game text will completely fail to display and instead come up as just gibberish.

Spoiler: Samples, Click to Enlarge

I thought that maybe I was missing the fonts, but the newer game actually gave me options to select fonts with nothing changing. And the actual system menu comes up in Japanese once I open it.

Anyways ideas as to what's going on and how to fix it? I've only found a few references online to these issues; one person casually mentioned having multiple odd fonts installed to handle Debonosu games, while another mentioned having the issue and the issue suddenly going away with no idea why.

 

[Bryanis]

Can't say for WIN10 - but that kind of giberish in japanese game usually happen when you try playing the game while not having your local setting set to japanese - Using some emulator like LE can work, but not always.

If you already have your local setting to japanese, unless the game was unpacked before switching to japanese which could have cause some problem in the data file, I dunno :/

I'd already installed the game in Japanese locale, but it looks like the answer was running LE in Admin mode on top of already being in Japanese locale. I have no idea why doubling up on the Japanese locale is what did the trick.

Yeah, it quite probably is because using the 'Run in Japanese (Admin)' profile for Locale Emulator makes the 'Fake System UI language' enabled in LE, too (which is by default off in standard 'Run in Japanese'). I think a similar result could be achieved by changing Format (in the region settings of your OS) to Japanese. But it is easier to use LE, I guess.
Anyhoo, I'm glad you found a solution!

Is there a program I can use to replace files like music/se files? Some of the files are are all in one file like data.wolf or something similar. I was wondering if I could go into the file to extract/replace something inside.

hi,
i am trying to play 撃電妖異譚─EP1─ from circle kame.
this game has an anoying feature that spams time/numbers in microseconds ( 01:32.383 ) into my clipboard and kills all my efforts to translate text.
i usually use agth and translation aggregator to translate games. can anyone tell me how i find out which line i should supress with agth ? the standard 32x16 doesnt work at all and i have no clue how this works.

Questions for fellow machine translators:

1. For ITHVNR usage w/ RPGM games, has anyone figured out a good way to get the names separate from the text? In the past I have been either removing the name or replacing the name manually in Translation Aggregator w/ the substitutions function but I would like to figure out a more elegant method.

2. Regarding Translation Aggregator - after about 15 minutes of usage w/ Google Translate the dreaded suspicious activity message pops up. Has anyone figured out a method to consistently avoid this error message?

So, I opted to buy another game through DLSite, and things ended poorly for me again. In this case, it's because I didn't see the part of the FAQ that indicated it was impossible to get through user authentication (it's a protected game, RE234198 - dlsite.com/ecchi-eng/work/=/product_id/RE234198.html ) in an emulated environment, and I use a Mac, not a Windows computer. Is anyone aware of a workaround for this issue?

 

[KillerDxD]

So all of a sudden i can't make anymore new threads due to insufficient privileges, any admin know what's going on here?

 

[DarkFire1004]

@KillerDxD Yeah, I was messing around with stuff to test out something in the admin console and I think I accidentally locked out registered users from being able to make threads. Please check again now. Sorry for the inconvenience!

 

[blerghit]

Anyone willing to tell me how to buy game from the japanese DLsite? didnt seem to accept my english dlsite login.
