Clephas Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) Apparently, the AGTH wiki, which held all the h-codes made so far (for the most part) has been closed... probably because of a violation of the terms of use or something, lol. Since that was pretty much the most central place to find them, I'm curious if anyone knows of any other places still active that have h-codes listed... Edit: I went ahead onto the internet archive and copied the entire h-code list from a snapshot... lol Edited August 23, 2017 by Clephas Quote
Infernoplex Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Isn't this old news? Sanah posted about this back in ... 2015 http://sanahtlig.blogspot.rs/2015/08/rip-agth-code-database.html Quote
Clephas Posted August 23, 2017 Author Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) No... that was the old agth database, which was an independent site with an internal search engine that let you search games by their romaji names for their h-codes. Edit: the AGTH wiki was closed sometime in the last couple of days, because the latest snapshot is from 8/19/2017 Edited August 23, 2017 by Clephas Quote

Edit: I went ahead onto the internet archive and copied the entire h-code list from a snapshot... lol could you put it somewhere else or even make new agth wiki? I think making new agth wiki is the only answer as for now. So any back up data is important. The H code turtorial is also important. As for current H code listed place is probably the original agth thread in hongfire or in each games titles discussion in vndb usually has someone asking for H code There's the entire page data backup from the wiki before it's being closed. I'll upload it here incase the wiki stop providing the backup link link:https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-2lfrzqN2aOR25KdnNCbHhmbEk Edited August 23, 2017 by Tortedelini Quote

Tortedelini Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 It said in the wiki rules for closed wiki that In the case of complete closure of a wiki that previously had content (that did not violate the Terms of Use), the database of content would be made available for download. (http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Community_Central:Closed_Wikia) So apparently Agth wiki didn't violate any ToU because it still has database backup when you open the Agth wiki now Quote
Deep Blue Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) it's up again though it seems to be a bit broken at the moment with many links not working properly and things missing too... Edited August 25, 2017 by Deep Blue Quote
Nandemonai Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 You sure? I get the "not a valid community" message when I try to go there. What's the URL for the database? Quote

I think it's already expired i think. I provide the backup link there incase the wiki stop providing the backup Quote
Deep Blue Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) it seems they are doing some fixes or someone is doing something to the wiki because when i posted I could see the page with the codes and right now it's just the front page...kinda working... with every link broken. edit: working again http://agth.wikia.com/wiki/H-codes Edited August 25, 2017 by Deep Blue Quote
Nandemonai Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Yeah, that's what I thought the link was. Whenever I go there, I get redirected here: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Community_Central:Not_a_valid_community?from=agth.wikia.com Quote
Tortedelini Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 It seems that the wiki is closed permanently now. Guess we have to open new wiki. For anyone that need the data backup, check the google drive link i post, it's all there, but in xml format and i don't know how to convert xml files into html or full content. So if anyone already has a backup, you can start a new agth wiki again Quote
Deep Blue Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) now it doesnt work anymore D: a shame really and how sharing codes for ITH can go against any kind of rule is beyond me (If that was even the reason for its closure) Edited August 27, 2017 by Deep Blue Quote
ChaosRaven Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 A user from VNDN created a new Visual Novel Text Hooking Wiki with the H-codes from the old AGHT Wiki. He also added a nice little text hooking guide that covers the most common tools for it. Quote

I'm glad someone cared enough... it would suck for some people if they couldn't play games only compatible with the older text hookers that still need h-codes, hahaha. Quote
kivandopulus Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 So far I can remember only one Windows game that ITH could not handle - that was "Interlude" . It's time to create ITH wiki with only couple of dozens of entries in it. Quote
sanahtlig Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) I've encountered multiple games that required one text-hooker or another. The very game I'm playing right now hooks correctly with AGTH, but not ITHVNR. In any case, I'm glad the text-hooking community found a solution to this. I've written a short article about it.

Tortedelini Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) Thank you for the support! It's sad to not having a H-code collection site, though it's always available if you search on hongfire, or each titles discussion page in vndb or anime-sharing. But having a collection of H-code in one place will always come in handy. Text hooker and dictionary itself is a powerful tool to help people learning japanese through visual novel. That's why i want people to use these tool as a learning method, so a H code is a big help for someone who want to learn jp but the hooker can't get the text from that game, especially if the game has high diffculty of vocabulary. I would never recommend machine translation as a way to reading raw visual novels. Feel free to add another H code or anything related with text hooker there. Also big thanks for anon who enter the H-code data from the old agth wiki. Edited September 17, 2017 by Tortedelini Quote
