On the other hand... at least it's consistent.

Quali affordance? What a title

The engine may not like Finnish characters. As it is a lot of them have problems with plain English text, since they were originally designed for Japanese only. You can try to ask the developer directly with support for VNR, contact him with a more detailed info of your problem and configuration.

In the executable the font size is controlled by two bytes, one at 858e and the other at 8590. The default is 14h (20). You will need to change both of them.

So this isn't as much of "how to reverse the original mosaic filter" but more of a "how to draw a penis" tutorial...

Since the original translation project stalled, the work on finding how to change the font size, wordwrapping, etc. was stopped too (we wanted to wait until the translation was done, in order to decide the final font size.) If you want, say so and we'll try to resume that work.

That package contains only the halfwidth and proportional executables. AFAIK proportional might still contain bugs like this: [We did the text extract/insert for this project.]

Remember that you also have the option of translating it. Don't know Japanese? It's never too late to learn... and you can then contribute back to the community.

When referring to working on this game, the phrase should be "I have some ourands to do."

meru has been attempting to finish off the translation; if you want we can get you the latest version of the patch.

This is important too. If they preserve separation of each line, then it shouldn't be too hard to do most if not all of this automatically via machine translation: they might not be accurate in translation, but here it's similarity we're after. All we need is for e.g. "He sat under an apple tree" to turn into something like what it would be in Japanese and vice-versa, and be different enough from what "I ate a doughnut" turns into. MT each original line and each translated line, compare with all translated/original lines respectively, choose the closest match for each one. If your translation is just a paragraph aggregate, then you'll need to do some more preprocessing to split things up.

The engine has to be able to read the scripts, so it must know how to decrypt. Post or PM a link to the executable and one of the small files, we can take a look if we have time.

If the file hashes differ then you have a corrupted download and should try again.

Text insertion difficulty varies with the engine. The more common ones have tools available, but there can be many variants on one basic engine and there are also numerous one-offs that require a custom solution. While text hooking and extraction has some universal tools, there is currently no universal solution for insertion. It's debatable whether the majority VNs that currently get translated are because they use common engines with tools available, or the other way around.

You could say that Little Busters is now... ... a little busted.

Please compare the SHA1 hashes of your files with those published in the verification information. This error very likely means that your download was corrupted.

Aaeru is not alone in creating controversy. That said, traffic increases are good when they drive visitors to the site, as you have the possibility of gaining new users. Just be sure your infrastructure can handle it.

It would be helpful to say what times you're getting these errors. Check the Apache log around those times, there may be more (private) information there about what caused it.

Kimi no Nagori wa Shizuka ni Yurete Translation Patch Released We are pleased to announce general availability of a translation patch for Kimi no Nagori wa Shizuka ni Yurete (君の「英訳」は静かに揺れて). New Features: 1. Your Choice of UK or US English This is to our knowledge the first publicly released dual-dialect translation patch, allowing the choice of reading in either UK English or US English. 2. Easy Installation Video Another first for the VN community: an installation video is provided simultaneously with the patch, making it easier for users to follow the instructions. We hope you enjoy this release and welcome interested translators to use our technologies. We are committed to bringing innovative solutions and breakthrough firsts to the VN translation community. Please use this thread for support.

The more compatible the better... you don't need HTML5 to do this sort of thing. MS had a DHTML demo with IE4 back in the 90s that already had a lot of the features necessary to make an in-browser VN. Displaying mostly static images and text, and playing some audio, has been within browser capabilities for over a decade.

The other issue is that you are assuming there is one and only one possible way to translate something, and that that is the one version the consumer must take. If MG does decide to translate it, it will very likely be different from the translation by Aaeru, even ignoring simple changes such as EN-UK vs EN-US spelling. There's also the literal vs non-literal/localisation debate but let's not open another can of worms here. This gives the consumer choice, which is important.

Latest versions of XP, Vista, and 7, free download from Microsoft, useful for testing compatibility: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11575 No install needed, just download and use.

You can also vote here for what you want translated. (Edit: just noticed that's thread #666!)

In other words we'll decide things on a case-by-case basis, but so far there seems to be no problems. Exactly... that was the old culture. Here is the new culture.
