TODO:

[ ] Port the PS2 sprites
Should be easy, but tedious. You have to extract each sprite and rename it to the correct match for Mangagamer's, then run them through alpha.exe from bgitools and place them on your higurashi dir. I won't do it because I like R07 sprites better, so good luck to the next Anon.

Where's the PS2 music patch?

>>3916482
I don't have the PS2 music tracks. If you have them, post them so they can be converted.

>>3916472
Nice, I can't wait to read it.

Sweet you are amazing. Taking the ui and font patch. Not sure which music patch I want yet. I'm hoping someone has the patience for the voices.

Someone tried the music patch?

Don't want to be a dick, but we got trolled before

i cant see the menu, so i cant save. it doesnt work for me

>>3916516
I don't think a voice patch is necessary unless the voices are really good.

>>3916531

What patch?

If you are talking about "Hide ugly UI" you have to change the setting in the start menu.

anime voices?

>>3916491
I have the official (as in, not extracted from the iso) ps2 OST, but replacing the songs would be tedious. As far as I know the soundtracks are absolutely different so you'd have to know when does every song play in the ps2 version.

>>3916520
I want to know too.
Does the Himatsubushi-hen music patch work?

>>3916520
OP here. It works, believe me, and it was quite tiring and time consuming to do, but I couldn't play without it.
Remember h4lp.7z is the full soundtrack, demolp.7z is only for chapter 1. You can combine both if you want, applying demolp after h4lp. To clarify, if you plan to play eps 2 to 4, you NEED h4lp, demolp won't cut it, as it only replaces some tracks.
Extract the patches in the higurashi folder.
The names may sound suspcious, but lp is just the way r07 named higurashi BGM folder.

>>3916543
I don't think I could ignore that but wouldn't the PS2 version have some different dialogue?

man, the musics of the demo were awesome.. the MG ones are very shitty.. and there's one sound efect (in the shocking scenes) that is REALLY Annoying.

Thanks OP! Patches work 100%, no viruses (:

>>3916520
>>3916561
Seems to be fine. I don't know if the right songs are supposed to be playing at the right time, but it did change fine.

>>3916562
Forgot to mention, extract them so all the files sit besides BGI.exe, in the higurashi root folder. I just noticed I zipped them in folders, so don't use them. The higurashi folder should only have a subfolder called UserData.

Anon, you know why I love you

Awesome work anon

I wonder if anyone is going to make a sound effects patch

>>3916566
Sound effects were not replaced, only music and ambient sound (higurashi, etc), but you can do it if you want, if you figure out the correct way to rename the original files to match the lsysXY files in data2000.arc. If you extract 0.txt from the script with AnimeED in the original japanese Higurashi files there may be a list like there was for music. Then you need to convert using bgitools. Be careful, bwcreate doesn't like all oggs, I had to use 3 different converters.

THIS.

Archive this.

>>3916593
Someone should make a patch that replaces all SFX with ahaha.wav

Sound effect patch would be awesome, I hate the new river noises.

Also, is there anyway to use Auto with the UI patch?

>>3916569
Well if Derek approves, then I guess these patches are legit.

And what's the deal with the bgm patch in work? What does it change? Just add the tracks that had to be removed or replace the good music with shitty doujin tracks?

>>3916642
Are you blind? it's all explained in the op.

>>3916642
If you're wondering wheter it removes the KAI music or not, YES it does. I'll hear those tracks when I play KAI. Besides, KAI music is "shitty" doujin music too. Did you even bother to listen to both soundtracks?

Are there plans to make a patch to fix the grammar issues? It'd be tedious as hell, admittedly, but it's the biggest problem I have with Mangagamer's release. Unless Mangagamer decides to do it themselves it should be done sooner or later.

>>3916642
its gets rid of this shit here

>>3916682
The problem lies beyond the translation.

I love you anon from spain , this was the ones i wanted

>>3916675
What the heck is KAI music?
>>3916660
No it isn't.

So to explain this all, mangagamer removed some doijin tracks, right? So did they just replaced these scenes with other tracks or did they add something completely different?
And what is the first bgm patch changing then? The removed doujin tracks from mangagamer and the rest will be the same?

Downloaded the hell out of the font change, now to play the waiting game with an anon patient enough to go through all those sprites.

>>3916692
I'm not talking about the occasional awkward sentence, I'm talking about the verb misconjugations and other basic, easily fixable grammar problems.

>>3916704
I'm personally waiting until the sprite change patch to get the game.

[ ] PS2 sprite
[ ] PS2 Voice patch

Work harder, thanks!
