/jp/ - Otaku Culture

go back to /prog

i throught that they alrdy translated all of the Higurashi o.o

>>4067438
They are redoing mangagamer's translation.
You seem like a perfect candidate for helping, why don't you try it?

>>4067412
Did you mean /prog/?

I just started reading this, and wow, mangagamer has quality control that would be unacceptable in any professional product and is several cuts below most fan translations.

Well, their money currency is in Euro!? I mean, that's absurd!

>>4067473
Not that Simple English editing is any better.

>>4067473
It does get noticeably better later (like after Onikakushi-hen) but yeah some parts in the first chapter were terrible.

>>4067473
>implying mangagamer is professional

I'll be going over tata_*. Whoever did it last didn't get all the errors.

What's the general total progress.

Also, RETrans is still shit.

>>4068635
Over 25%

Also, that's because we haven't updated it yet, but wait another week or two.

You guys fixed the eye-searing blue background of the text log yet?

>>4068975
Not yet, but should be easy considering we're already editing the text.

>>4068975
Sure, I'll remember that.

So um. Why haven't you guys made partial patches on a per route basis. Isn't Watanagashi and Onikakushi already edited at this point?

Honestly, this is fucking stupid.

Yeah, I did notice the parts with "Remembr" and "Rikaa", and badly worded sentences here and there, but it's not so bad that you can't fix the setences inside your head and carry on. Not bad enough to warrant an edited version.

>>4073083
You're... kinda not getting the concepts of 'proofreading' and 'editing'. At all.

>>4073083
Man, anon will do as they please. There's no way that the PRed version could be worse than the original. Sure, the amount of work involved is disgustingly high, but, whatever. They'll do what they want anyway.

>>4073083
>setences
It's no surprise that you wouldn't care.

>>4073000
They're getting close, but they're not done yet. Also, I'm not sure how far along Cudder is on the script reassembler. Any update on that?

bmpu

What is this? /jp/ has started on a project to dumb down MG's translation of Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni.
Are you in need of editors?
Of course! Anyone without knowledge of English beyond the elementary level is welcome to join in and start butchering with the shitty and annoying-to-use REtrans™Web Interface.

>>4073924
I'll try to ask her soon.

>>4076180

>dumb down
>MG's translation

That's impossible.

>>4077173
They're sure trying their best!

Onikakushi is now complete and has been locked.

Once I hear back from Cudder, we may be able to release the patch for it if the script assembler has been completed.

>>4077173
Nothing is impossible when anon is doing it.

So, now that I see the Ps2 music + alternative patch has been released, is that the way to go for music, or the original patched music?

J/w considering I haven't started the game yet.

>>4079228
I preferred the original BGM after listening to them both. But it's really a matter of personal preference. The original score seemed more dramatic, especially in the creepy scenes and was therefore more engaging for me.

>>4079228
We give you choice. Original music, MG's music, original sprites, PS2 sprites, and (when it's done) anon's edited translation or MG's translation. It's up to you.

Change occurrences of "Niinii" to "Nii-nii".

did anyone made a mod to swap ingame logo with original higurashi logo?

>>4080180
The anon who did the sprite patch should be able to answer that.

>It's different from Mion's lunch box and has a homely touch to it.
>homely
I doubt MG's translators knew that the meaning of that word is likely not what they were trying to say.

bump

>>4080751
Maybe they wanted to say something similar to "homey", but thought they meant dangerous minorities calling out to each other.

So you're doing an open editing of a professional translation

Haha, oh wow

>>4080165
It would help to have style decisions like this on the main editorashi page, where everyone can see them. Some of us don't keep track of these threads all the time. A decision on hau/hao (if one hasn't been made already) would be good, too.

>>4081665
have you read that 'professional' translation? It needs editing.

>>4082516
Yeah, but this is not the way to go about it.
Have you even seen the changes they've been making?

>>4082525
why don't you tell us all about it?

>>4082516
So do most professional VN translations, but they're still readable.

>>4082525
which changes do you object to?

>>4082533
Why don't you learn to read and stop asking to be spoonfed everything?

STOP PUTTING THE GOD DAMNED /prog/ SNAKE EVERYWHERE YOU WEEABOO FUCKS, YOU'RE DOING WHAT ICANHASCHEESEBURGER DID TO LOLCATS

CUT THE "HAVE YOU READ YOUR SICP TODAY?" SHIT OUT TOO. DURR GUYS LET'S GO CHANGE THE DIALOGUE IN DOUJINS TO INVOLVE SICP AND SATORI AND CUDDERS, WE'RE SO FUCKING HILARIOUS

>>4082572
Looks like someone hasn't read their SICP today.

>>4082572
take it easy

is this a backport to (o)nscripter or "just" an edit for bgi?

>>4082572
As if /prog/ can sink any lower at this point!

>>4082572
u mad?

>>4082507
I'll try to collect the announcements made so far and put them on the site.

And, it's hau.

There is now a link to Editor's Guidelines and Notes on the main page. Post if you have anything else to add to it.

I would like to request that Haoo~ but replaced with Hauu~. Because it's kawaii-er.

>...I think she's being fulsome.@
...I have no idea why MG decided to use Middle English words intermittently.

any notes on a voice patch?

First 4 of Tatarigoroshi done.

>>4089085
Probably gone dark. Only time will tell.

bampu pantsu~

This needs to be kept alive while /jp/ gets invaded by /a/.

LOL /JP/ PWNED BY /A/ AND MOOT

also

VN's are for faggots
enjoy your boring shitfest games

>>4093326
Yes, clearly all those harem shows and moe crap shows every season are more interesting.

>>4093326

I bet this is the best trolling attempt /a/ can muster, too.

>>4089059

"Fulsome" is not Middle English. I don't think you know what Middle English is.

><Neko|YU-NO> RETrans is like the reverse Midas touch.
><Neko|YU-NO> Everything they touch turns to shit instead of gold.
><Neko|YU-NO> It's a shame really, some of those editors at least appear to be relatively talented.
Truer words could not have been said.

>>4094183
That does not explain why the Hatsukoi project is having no problem achieving in excess of 500 lines a day.

And get out, tlwiki devs.

>>4094463
FYI, she edited about 4000 lines of higurashi for you.

>>4094494
It's more like 13k, I've gone through almost all of onik and am a little bit of the way through tata.

Higurashi is shit :~)

>>4096275
Back to /a/, please.

>>4094037
That's the etymology, idiot. Oh, wait. You're an Editorashi editor, so you don't know what etymology means, either.

I`ve got a question, is there matsuribayashi-hen in kakera asobi ?

>>4096814
Calm down, he's a moron, no need to point that out.

>>4096814
Using obscure words doesn't make the translation better. It looks immature and pretentious.

>>4096985
You're being immature and pretentious yourself, both in your criticism of MG's translation and in your criticism of "difficult" language.

bump

>>4097064
>it's immature and pretentious to criticise the use of shakespearian language as a translation of plain japanese

>>4098198
This is what you'll realize once you achieve Satori.

>>4098198
>shakespearian language
Fufufu, this is what ichinensei really believe...!

so can anyone remind me why again they are fixing spelling errors instead of something useful such as a voice patch?

>>4099048
The voice patch is fuckballs hard to do.

>>4099055
And very few know how to do that.

If everybody who has used RETrans and something else likes the something else better, how can one claim RETrans is superior?

>That does not explain why the Hatsukoi project is having no problem achieving in excess of 500 lines a day.

Does that person prefer RETrans to other methods? It doesn't really matter if someone is working and getting a decent pace. Just because you can put a lot of effort into something and have a good pace does not mean that your software is more efficient or superior. Find some people who have tried more than RETrans and prefers RETrans. If it is truly superior then people will agree. The fact that someone like Neko, who is an experienced editor, and has tried your software for a while and thought it was shit makes me think that it is shit. Find someone besides yourself, and who has worked with other methods besides just yours, say that RETrans is superior and perhaps I'll think it isn't shit.

>That does not explain why the Hatsukoi project is having no problem achieving in excess of 500 lines a day.

So, seeing as how the Hatsukoi project started in the beginning of September, it's been running for about 4 months now. At 500 lines a day, 60,000 lines... the total is 32,000 lines. Oh, so you guys have finishing it a couple months ago I assume?

Oh wait, you only have about 7000 lines done. I guess you accidently added a 0 and said 500 instead of 50. Or maybe you just like to lie, I don't know

I'm more interested in a matsuri music patch.

Yeah, I honestly don't give two shits about some typos, and weird sentences. I'd rather see some progress on a ps2 event CG patch and a voicepatch.

What ever happened to the backport to OnScripter?

>>4099699
This.

I would really like a voice patch instead of all this retranslation business.

>>4099289
At least they didn't complain nearly as much as you guys did. Also, don't forget that this isn't even a real "translation" project, whereas Hatsukoi is. You also have to remember that RWI's primary advantages are on the management side. Deploying the system and creating projects is easy, as well as keeping track of histories, statistics, and other such things.

>>4099331
We have over 11k lines done, 4k of which were in the last few days. (>>4084202) The translators were busy with other things for most of last year, which is why average rates are meaningless. But we have seen instantaneous rates of 500+/day, with as little as 9 seconds spent on a single line. Most of that time is going to be spent actually translating and inputting the text. Unless you can translate continuously at 360+ lines per hour, RWI is NOT going to be a bottleneck; your brain and hands are.

>>4099687
There is one. Check the wikia

>>4099699
>>4099747
NScript. The dude who said he'd backport it for the CG Patch never showed up and followed through. CG patch should be relatively easy to do (well, given the fact that we already have modified images, the sprite patch), just takes time and effort, but would be compatible with BGI

Doesn't solve the real problem, which is the lack of voicepatch. However, if a few anons are willing to copy and paste about 60k lines into 0/result.txt for the original Higurashi, then Phiber (Eden's hacker) has indicated that he has a method in which he can make a voice patch (only requirement is, yeah, ONScripter). There are people ready and willing to take up the task, we just need to bridge the gap and port it ourselves. I'd say it's of critical importance, as it would definitely amplify/benefit the experience of playing the game, whereas the editing effort will just I don't really know anymore

We've definitely derailed from the imperatives. That's all.

>>4096814
I fucking love you Jones.

First 6 of tata done.

>>4067348
We would highly appreciate it if you did not spam your shitty clones all over www.àñöñtálk.com. Thank you.

>>4101409

Copy paste from what into what? Isn't this something that we could write a script to do?

>>4102148
Copy and paste it into the original onscripter's script file. It is unknown if there's a way to make it automated. And if there was, nobody who's capable has stepped up to the plate
