Others Completed Dungeon Town [Final] [Circle Meimite]

[erifla]

Hello. satren3845 . Sorry to bother. The text fix that I believe you made for the game is for the EX version of the game, not the one provided here, right? At least, I tested it and it seemed to crash immediately on this version, which I believe makes sense. While ex would be cool, it seem it'll be some time before there's a translation, so I was hoping to play game now.
To my dismay though, I'm having an issue with the text where it appears quite large and goes off of the text boxes. There's a choice the game gives you near the start, and I'm unable to even see what options are, rendering the game pretty unplayable. Several people stated there's text wrapping issues, and in earlier posts some state that changing to Japanese locale fixes it. However, on both my linux machines, this fix does not seem to be working. I've experienced the need to set to Japanese locale before and have a workaround for such occasions, but it does not appear to be functioning for this title.
So my question, or perhaps request, is it possible for there to be a text fix for the game as it is now? Much appreciated.

I've only skimmed through posts to try to get an answer so if anyone else knows one I'd be welcome to hear it. I played this game a while ago and remember liking it, and wanted to give it another go to remember why.

If you are running the Kagura Games English version, there should be no fix needed.
If you're trying to run the game on Linux though that's probably your issue. I looked through the discord and found a Linux user with a screenshot mentioning the same problem you described, but sadly it doesn't seem like anyone found a solution besides just using a windows virtual machine.

Yes, I had figured that it was a linux related issue, which is why I had mentioned that detail. Since my laptop where I prefer to play these sorts of games (due to not being on display in the livingroom) is pretty low performance, running a windows vm is not really an option. Nor would I bother to do so even if it was. I had hoped that perhaps a 3rd party method of text fix may fare better to helping resolve the issue, but if you think it would not then I suppose my hands are tied. Quite frustrating to hear. Thank you for looking into it.

It's version with DLC?

This is version 1 of a WIP complete version of dungeon town EX.

Basically, this takes the Japanese version with all content and merges the Kagura Games translation into it.
So that you can go from a Kagura Games english save, enter the EX content, and play it with the english UI and interface.
On top of that a wide spread of random work has been done, mostly related to gameplay. But it's still far, far from complete.

Although various parts are rough and messy, this should serve as a good basis for anybody who wants to work on this game.
If that person is you, download this and check the patch-resources folder.
Outside of a few things, all the work left to do involves is editing the game data files, which have already been extracted and are in plaintext. Of course, the problem is the sheer amount of content to edit...

Tool to upgrade Kagura games saves to saves compatible with EX version is included.

For those interested in playing this partial version in its current state:

I am not currently planning to do more on this and if I am I will announce it.
So anybody who wants to work on this is free to take over.
Just announce that you're doing so here so that other people will know.

If you run into any technical issues (besides the ones already in the readme), like crashes or garbled text, post about those. I would likely fix those.
But if you run into stuff like bad translations, typos, or bad writing, just fix those yourself if you're able to notice them.

Hello again. As it turns out, whatever patchwork is done here actually allows text to render properly when running the game on wine. Hooray!
So i'm playing through the game normally with this patched version. Besides some minor text cutoffs that I don't care about it works fine. I have, however in fact, run into an issue. I do not believe it to be linux related.

Colette and her master's dialogue was half japanese, with her 'master' being still in japanese. I could read it well enough to get the gist she needs to have sex. Since this should be translated, I thought it was odd, but didn't really think further of it. However It appears I am softlocked, as I'm unable to invite colette out to the dungeon. From what I have gathered by other's posts here seems to be implied that the option gets unlocked by the time (or at the time) you obtain the "Have sex with Colette!" mission. At the very least I have not found any way to unlock it, and nobody else was complaining about such. I vaguely recall that after the game stated something would occur when you go to sleep at night but I only had the standard succubus show up. Which I thought was strange since other night events seemed to work fine.

If I've mistaken something let me know, but I believe this is an issue with this patched game not allowing progression to occur in the main story, would there be a workaround or a way to fix it?

I'm going to guess that the reason the text works is because unlike the kagura games version which used a normal font renderer for the sake of supporting chinese, this version still uses an image font like the original.

It doesn't surprise me too much that the base game has some issues given that I didn't play test through the whole thing. I'll look into it sometime. If you happened to have a save file before or close to the issue that you could send that would definitely help too.

Unfortunately I did not perform my usual habit of saving on a different save frequently this time, and foolishly kept to only one save. That has been saved to post problem. Quite troubling...
If its possible to cheat in my items I wouldnt really mind speedrunning up to where i was before, but I don't know how to do that.

I found what the issue is. I'll post a fixed ver tomorrow probably.
Your save should still work once it gets fixed, but you might run into some crashes if you try to keep playing in the meantime.

I'm glad to see that we can finally play the EX update with the Kagura Games version, but I'd rather wait until someone could translate the entire EX content, I'm sure that some pretty good translators might be able to do something about it

Awesome, Thanks for the quick work.

Version 2

Fixes some translations being missing, and some files being missing.

Awesome, Thanks for the quick work.

So, depending on how the game handled the error behind the scenes when you went to sleep, your save is either fine or it's stuck.
Try going to sleep and I think the event should happen when you wake up.
If it doesn't, try going to the second page in the load menu and seeing if one of the autosaves is before you went to sleep.
If that's all bust then you can send your save and I might be able to do something.

Sleeping with my previous save worked fine, got the event in the morning, and double checked I could Invite her. Thank you once again.

Windows defender is flagging your loader.exe

I'm wondering what I'm missing to get to EX content, I already finished the 100 floor dungeon

I guess the antivirus doesn't like it hooking into the game or something. But it didn't complain on two windows computers I've tried, so it might be that you have stricter settings enabled.
The unlock condition should be clearing the 100floor dungeon, seeing the "you won" score result style screen, then selecting the option for it with Flotina. May need to go to sleep once as well.

 

[Gigger2461]

Here's my save file hopefully someone points out what is missing. I hope it's not those grindy as hell quests.

Oh, okay. I kind of knew this would be a problem but I never got around to checking it.
The reason you can't unlock it is because Kagura games removed the trigger for the EX-unlocking event. So because you cleared it on that version, you're locked out.
But luckily all that's needed to fix this is just have that event actually run. I verified that with your save.
I'll try to figure out a nice way to get the event to trigger for old saves.

In the meantime, if you want a hack DIY solution:
Open the file data\gadget\TownUnitEvent.txt
Go to line 607, which starts with "908 0 ..."
Replace 299 with 4968
Run the game and talk to Alticia to unlock extra

satren3845 Hello again.

I've run into another wall. The game keeps running out of memory at 4gb of virtual memory used, and crashing. Seems to be due to the game being 32bit. While this normally only minimally affects gameplay (requires semi frequent restarts, especially after running a long time with loading vn scenes or dungeons), I have run into a scenario where I am no longer able to progress.

After beating (and screwing) the Undine boss on floor 17 of waterways, you are locked into a series of story events (including another optional h scene) where youre unable to save. This always causes the game in its current state to run out of memory and crash, scene skipped or not.

It is possible the issue is linux/wine related, where its using more memory than it should compared to windows, but my current theory is its due to the patchwork that's been done.

I'm not sure how much miracle work youll be able to perform here, but it would be nice to finish the game now that I've gotten this far.
In case you'd like to test if the game also runs out of memory on windows during that sequence, I've attached my latest save on floor 16 of waterways.

I'll look into this when I get to trying to add the EX already unlocked conditions fix.
But I will say that I played the version often and I never had any issues similar to that one on windows.
There's been memory "corruption" issues due to fucked up patches before but only at specific spots.
I don't know enough about how linux/wine works to say much more. But I do know that windows in general will sooner have everything break and shut down than ever directly report any memory problems, so it may be an issue that your setup exposes more easily.

Version 3

Saves that cleared the final dungeon on kagura games version can now unlock extra mode

Also erifla, I went through on your save and was able to clear the dungeon on windows. I didn't encounter any issues.
If there is a patch issue that would cause the problem, I wouldn't know what it is at the moment. If you get any other hints of an issue feel free to post.
Even on windows, the memory does balloon during the chain of events, but it only reaches a max of about 1,400,000 KB for me.
So I would maybe look through any of the config you can change related to memory or look up similar issues.
