I'd really use a guide here... Because I can't figure out what is what hard.

usually if you take damage it becomes obvious.

like... enter the level as samurai, search for 4 byte value 500120
it finds like less than 50 addresses. (like on your screenshot)
take any damage
search for "decreased value"

Spoiler: after 500120 search, take damage and do a decreased value search

(or manually scroll for any red addresses)

then i manually checked for the address above the current red (1940a2b8 in my case),

Spoiler: changed address above HP address

changed that and voila

Spoiler: that was indeed maxHP address

Actually not...

I've found the thing, but it just takes away my current HP and nothing more than that.
If I restart the level it just resets.

then, i think you just found your hp???

I appreciate your hard work and look forward to all of the Toki sprites being edited. I can try to do it myself but it might take a while for me to get around to it.

 

[Artix0]

I appreciate your hard work and look forward to all of the Toki sprites being edited.

Thank you! Can't wait to share more, both on Translation and on Remix

I can try to do it myself but it might take a while for me to get around to it.

That'd be awesome and any help would be hugely appreciated; but also no worries if you don't get time, as I intend to fully complete the female Toki spriteset by the time I complete Remix! I'm also curious about what Acid will do with the Toki DLC and if I could offer players the option to turn him into a girl there too

 

[Hexx48]

Thank you! Can't wait to share more, both on Translation and on Remix

Could you add more enemies to the later stages, specifically the dog enemy? I found it odd they practically stopped appearing after the first few stages even tho they have animations with the shrine maiden for them.

I tried a simple recolor because Kigis's pubic hair in the picture\ANIM\SCENE6kgs\INMOU folder shows her having fairly light brown pubic hair which looks weird against her black hair. I was very careful to use the same colors since all the pictures are in Indexed form instead of RGB in GIMP. The only problem is that, even though I saved everything with the same filename, it comes up with a crashing error if the recolor is used. I don't know if that is something I did wrong on my end or if it's because the game isn't expecting those colors?

In the files I have attached, I included the error message which basically seems to translate into a loading error message (even though translated literally it doesn't). I have also included jpg versions of the original image and recolor since I can't upload bmp on this site.

Edit: I also tried my hand at de-censoring and it took me longer than I thought it would just to work on one image. I think it looks good but it would take way too long to de-censor them all unless there's a faster way that isn't redrawing.

Very interesting! It definitely seems like it's struggling to load that edited bmp for you. I just tried myself (to eliminate potential issues I did the recolor myself, directly to INMOU-01.bmp, using

) and it works ingame:



So my recommendation would be just to try again with a fresh set of files, maybe editing with something other than GIMP just in case? And make sure you're picking the colours directly from an image of Kigis. I don't really know the technical side of how the engine reads colours, but you're right that there's something specific in how it handles them.

Edit: I also tried my hand at de-censoring and it took me longer than I thought it would just to work on one image. I think it looks good but it would take way too long to de-censor them all unless there's a faster way that isn't redrawing.

That looks really nice, great job! I hadn't really thought about it, but I should probably de-censor the H scenes for Remix. Or heck, even for the Translation, I doubt there's anyone who doesn't want them to be uncensored right? might be last priority though behind all the other stuff.

Yeah it definitely takes a while, make anything animated and you multiply the work massively compared to a still illustration haha. Regarding faster ways, the only thing I could think of would be seeing what an AI could do with it maybe? I'm typically against AI art because it lacks soul, but decensoring a pixel dick is one of the rote tasks that robots were made for I suppose!

Could you add more enemies to the later stages, specifically the dog enemy? I found it odd they practically stopped appearing after the first few stages even tho they have animations with the shrine maiden for them.

It's definitely possible! I could maybe throw some dogged-up stages together eventually, though it would be last priority behind translation/remix/decensor and so would be a long time til I get round to doing requests or anything. One challenge would be working out how the enemy spawns work specifically, as I think they differ based on the difficulty setting so may not be as simple as placing an enemy on the stage once - but not sure yet.

If you'd like to have a go yourself (you'd definitely be faster than me as I have half the game to translate first! ) then you can grab a copy of the engine from the Action Editor 4 thread!

Decensoring a dick shouldn't be too bad, but decensoring a pussy when the censored blocks are so big, that's where I'll really struggle. I'm certainly not an artist. Trying to remove Toki's dick on the other animation files was more complicated than I thought.

I did apply the idea of one of Hashitaka's boobs out of the kimono to the KigNPC file and even though I only did the top line, I think it came out very well. Somehow, one boob out is hotter than both nude and fully covered. This file is attached.

I'll give Krita a try and see if I can get it to work on my end.

If I knew how to edit the game's code, I would add an extra layer of "damage = clothing removal" to have the final level be nude. I would also add an option to choose whether the pubic hair is applied for the characters outside of the gallery. If you know how to do either of these, would you be able to add that to Remix?

 

[SingleForLife]

RobAlson244 Your edit might not have worked because you probably missed the same compatability option another user missed. Look at my earlier post and see if that fixes your issue.

I'd love for there to be a final nude level too! I'm not sure exactly what steps would be required yet, but it's 100% possible and it's something I might look into for Remix after the translation's complete. I say might, because Acid has added this into previous games iirc so I want to see what he does with his DLC and other future updates first.

For the pubic hair, I hadn't even noticed that the choice only appears in the gallery, well pointed out. I know how to add it to the main levels - it involves adding all the same event triggers, UI elements, conditional factors for which art appears etc. as are present in the gallery version.

This is quite a lot of busywork for what I'd consider a beneficial but rather minor change (since it's available in the gallery) and so I probably won't take the time to do it myself sorry. But as I said to Hexx earlier, I'd encourage anyone with a strong desire and a lot of free time to check out the engine in the Action Editor 4 thread and play around with it - just bear in mind you will need an abundance of time!!

EDIT: Hah, ignore the struck though parts above - I just realised it's complete bullshit! Yes, the logic for giving the player the choice of pubic hair / clothing state / dialogue, is just 'Has the player entered via the gallery or not?'. The gallery scenes aren't separate, as I wrongly implied above - they're the regular levels, just with conditions that get switched on upon entering them via the gallery.

I personally think the player should have the freedom to make their own choices, so in the next release of Remix I'll remove this condition from all the sex scenes.

HOLD UP

I know you fellow perverts are enjoying this for various reasons, but let me just STRESS how hard this game's soundtrack goes!
I actually stopped playing and just enjoyed the music in the beginning stages!

Exhibit A:

You must be registered to see the links

Exhibit B:

You must be registered to see the links

You can find all the songs in the bgm folder

Not sure who the artist is. The tag has fumikomidori, but I couldn't find that exact song for example. If anyone can assist that would be neat!

Had the second half of Mihashira's main menu theme in my head all day yesterday, it's great to see a fellow game ost enjoyer

Nice to see a man of culture here!
I've been feverishly replaying these 2 songs all day. I haven't managed to find the composer's website or other info. The only info was in the video I linked " 【サイト名 Site Name】おとわび和風音楽素材様 - Otowabi Japanese Style Music 【URL】" - but there's no url

Do you have any clues to this mystery perhaps?

Only other clue I could give you is that the in-game credit for the OST is as follows:



Google Translate camera gives me this as 'Otowabi (Fuemidori)':



Though it's interesting that the Youtube video shows 'Fumiko Midori', that might be more trustworthy than 'Fuemidori'.

A search for Otowabi reveals that they might be a Japanese royalty-free music producer, similar to Kevin MacLeod perhaps?



I had thought those links on the RPGM forum at the bottom might be useful, but any further investigation just led me to dead links, including the Otowabi site itself. I guess it was over a decade ago...

My final conclusion is that the composer went by two names, Otowabi or Fumiko Midori, and that their website is sadly fully defunct:

 

[Father Dick Byrne]

Artix0 thank you for the deep dive! Going about above and beyond the call of duty haha
Sadly, I've reached the same dead ends you mentioned. There is also a SoundCloud page with few songs and seemingly abandoned.

At any rate I'll enjoy what we got. Kinda feel bad for the guy; I guess smutty games weren't his gateway to Top of the pops

I don't se a list of fetishes?

Any lesbian or futa? I know previous games of this dev had some.

there is a futa event

 

[Artix0]

I don't se a list of fetishes?

That's because there isn't one you're welcome to provide a list after playing, and I can add it to the OP? At some point we'll need one for the main game thread once I'm done with translating it.

Any lesbian or futa? I know previous games of this dev had some.

Yes, there's both. As SingleForLife said there's a futa event (large CG + small character sprites), and there's also two futa demons which can fuck the female protagonists (and the femboy one).

Then for lesbian, there are I think five female demons which can toy with the female protagonists (and the femboy) as well.

Is it possible for you to add new enemies into the game or is it that out of your depth?
