Today we release an updated version of Tsukihime English. Everyone is strongly encouraged to update their installation to v1.1 as it both solves and prevents several problems that were found in the first release. [Edit: Read the warning at the bottom of this post!] Most notably, we have received many reports of v1.0 freezing at random locations and with the help of Danj have traced it to the mp3 playback routines. We have therefore switched to using ogg files for the music instead of mp3, read chapter 7 of the readme for more details.
The new version also fixes several other small bugs and a large number of typos. The Tsukihime English v1.1 installer can be used both as a standalone installer and as an updater from v1.0. To update, simply run the installer and make sure it installs to the directory of your current Tsukihime English installation. You can download the file from our MediaFire mirror or through MEGA.

Note that the End User License Agreement has been updated to include a clause about modification or redistribution. Please read the EULA before agreeing to it.

Many thanks to everyone who reported bugs and script errors, we greatly appreciate it. Please use this thread (Archived) to report bugs in v1.1, and this thread (Archived) to report typos and other textual errors. I refer to the previous post for links to Yahoo! Japan Auction searches concerning Tsukihime and Tsukibako. We hope you continue enjoying Tsukihime English!

Warning! It appears that v1.1 breaks compatibility with the savegames from v1.0. Not all, but some of your savegames will crash the game the moment you reach the end of a script. If you encounter this problem, there currently are only two ways to solve this: Either you start from the beginning and use the ‘Skip parts previously read option’ (in the game options menu) to quickly skip to the part where you left off, or you reinstall v1.0 back and finish your route.

We are very sorry for this blunder, it would appear that we have understimated the stupidity of NScripter’s and ONScripter’s save algorithms. We will try to find a better solution for this problem, until then we recommend not to updated to v1.1 until you have finished a route and are ready to start the game from the beginning. Note that only the savegames themselves do not work, your settings and scores will transfer properly if you update (or downgrade).

Yes, the moment of truth has arrived. It gives me great pleasure to announce the release of the translation installer available for direct download in two locations, mirror 1 and mirror 2, and for torrent. This 27 MB installer is for Windows 98 or higher. Support for OSX and Linux will be forthcoming. Anyone interested in helping can contact us directly. The readme is located here.

As a reminder, please do not distribute this installer along with any torrents of the game. Keeping our translation group out of trouble is the best way to ensure future planned releases, such as Melty Blood and Fate/stay night.

Here are two saved searches on Yahoo! Japan Auctions. Please note that all results are not Tsukihime or Tsukibako… EvoSpace’s site (Archived) has pictures of Tsukihime merchandise so you know what’s what. If you have any doubts about what you are buying, ask someone who knows Japanese… I recommend the use of an auction agent such as Shopping Mall Japan. Sorry it is so expensive…

Search for Tsukibako (eBay) or Tsukihime (eBay).

Thank you, and enjoy the release!

EDIT (chendo): If you want to report a bug, please drop by into the #mirrormoon channel on irc.irchighway.net and have the stderr.txt and stdout.txt contents on a pastebin ready.

Because we don’t want to end all discussion… just discussion on the other topic.

All right, the patch is drawing to an end with bits and pieces still needing work on.
But a small disclaimer-like thing…
I would like to paste Ryuusoul’s comment which states it pretty well and I think should deserve front page notice:

——————————————————–
Please, no discussion of obtaining the game by any illegal means. I’m not interested in engaging in any philosophical debates. I don’t care how hard it is to buy legally or how expensive it is. We’re not hosting torrents here and we don’t want to see our patch hosted along with any illegal copies of the game.

Got it?

Good.
———————————————————

I believe this is our opinion of all our staffs here. (at least mine)

Please don’t start a debate on the comment… please.
