automatic text / voice advancement broken?

[zeparu]

ive been playing episode 5 and 6 so far, and it feels like automatic text advancement is completely broken, as in my memory, it never happened even once on my end.

but what i do know is happening is:

• text displays, voice plays, waiting for user to advance
• once user advances, the next voice/textline is delayed for approximately the duration of the last played voiceline, and then afterwards plays the text/voice

i assume these parts are when it should have been automatic advancement, but for some reason user advancement is placed right in the middle, so often times, it feels like i pressed spacebar, only to wait for 8 seconds until the next text plays

i dont have any specific examples on me right now, but i remember it happening consistently in episode 5 and 6

It's a bit hard to debug this without specific cases, if it happens to you again, can you please write down the text on the screen nearby when it happens (so I can look it up in the script)? If you can get two or three examples that would be even better, but I need at least one to begin working on it.

From memory we've had problems with this before, so it's not that surprising, but I still need an example of it so I can find similar cases.

Ah, I forgot to ask whether you were playing ADV mode or normal mode (or voice-only mode)

It would be great if you could fill this in:

actually wait a sec, I think I know what it is...

We had some issues with automatic text advancement causing other issues, so we issued a patch which would fix those issues, but the lines you're talking about.

0.zip (no clickwait fix version)

Place this file in your game folder (C:\games\Steam\steamapps\common\Umineko Chiru\0.u), replacing your existing 0.u file. You should probably make a backup of your old 0.u file.

You can try this script, but you'll likely encounter other issues. However if you're playing through the game, you can report those issues to me as you go and I'll see how fixable they are.

[zeparu]

wait does the linux version of the ponscripter read the 0.u or the 0.utf, i cant remember

[drojf]

I think the newest version reads the 0.u file. It will give an error if you put the wrong file anyway, so just try both.

im reading the same chapter as yesterday now (spoiler)

kyrie and jessica's fight in episode 6

almost at the very beginning there is an auto advance that was not present in the version before

it looks like the current version that the installer installs, has every auto text advancement removed from the script

[zeparu]

but it looks like the version you uploaded is missing some voice delays, for example here

that's correct, that was the fix that we applied, as strange as it sounds

but it looks like the version you uploaded is missing some voice delays, for example here

I'll check that out and get back to you, you're right that there should be a voice delay there

[drojf]

@zeparu Hi, here's the update script with the voice delays fixed. I also ported the voicedelay function from the question arcs so the delays are more accurate/aren't affected by how long the text takes to appear.

i finished playing through the same chapter now with the newest version you linked, and the auto advancement is working properly now again, no skipped voice lines either, once i start playing more ill let you know if i encounter any issues

[drojf]

@zeparu sorry to bug you, but how did it go? Did you encounter any issues or bugs?

[zeparu]

i havent played much since then, ill report if i encounter any issues while playing ep6

[zeparu]

i just finished reading the entirety of ep6 including tea party and witches' tea party and encountered no issues concerning the automatic text advancement from the version you sent me

[drojf]

Thanks for letting us know, I have more confidence about the fix now
