Fate/Stay Night [Realta Nua] PC version Mirror Moon TL insertion project

[ニサンカタンソ]

If you could sum up in a post what the current problem is and the possible solutions I could take it from here.

Base problem: The quality is bad when the video is resized.
I couldn't find a solution except to use Haali Video Renderer. This has two problems: it doesn't play when the game is in fullscreen mode and originalwidth and originalheight are wrong. I fixed the first one by using borderless window.
But there are two more problems: since Haali doesn't play in fullscreen, you have to resize (borderless window) when in fullscreen mode even if the video plays in the video frame. The other one is that the menu bar at the top appears in windowed mode but auto-hides in fullscreen mode. So either you have a menu showing or you hide it and you can't use the menu. I hid it while a video is playing.

Using MeruP's version doesn't solve the problem unless you install some codec (I'm not sure which) on your computer.

Um, what problem is this solving, the major problem of fullscreen quality loss, or the minor problem of anti-aliasing?

The quality loss and anti-aliasing are the same problem.

I'm kinda lost on what you just gave me or if I should even use it.

It's a krmovie that uses Haali video renderer instead of the system one. Also some changes to accommodate not being able to play when in fullscreen mode (see above).

Will this mess up the LAV filter krmovie?

No. It might make it take a bit longer when loading a movie though. Those changes were only for the existing version, not the one I linked. The one I linked has other changes that are not ideal (changing to borderless window when in fullscreen mode even if the video is for the frame area).

I'm specifically telling you they are different problems. The anti-aliasing only happens to me on the LAV krmovie, not the MeruP one (in windowed mode, resizing), and even then it's quite minor in terms of quality damage. The real problem is a different bug where, no matter what krmovie you are using, when you play the VN in fullscreen mode, and play a video, regardless of whether or not you resize it or play it in the movie menu frame, there is SIGNIFICANT loss to video quality, far worse than the anti aliasing found in the LAV krmovie when the op is resized in windowed mode.

Let me spell it out in more direct terms...

In fullscreen, the LAV krmovie uses nearest neighbor scaling.

[Jacktheinfinite101]

Ok sure LAV filters do that, then why is the Merup Krmovie also doing it? My system doesn't use lav filters by default, it doesn't need them, it has directshow filters from Microsoft already.

I've been having a minor problem and I thought I could get some help here. With Jack's patch I can open and play both the fate route and the heaven's feel route, but when I try to open the Unlimited Blade Works route the launcher looks different and it doesn't launch. I've tried to reinstall the patch and the three routes but I've only ended up where I started. I'm really not sure what the problem might be because I compared the files in the fate and UBW folders and they look mostly identical except for being out of order, probably because its in alphabetical order. I don't know if this has been sorted out before, but could you help me out? (I would like to play the game in order, but can't until UBW works)

[Jacktheinfinite101]

Show me a screencap of what UBW looks like when you try to open it.

[BFFMCO]

This is it.

[Jacktheinfinite101]

Hmm, odd, I've never seen this before. It could be that something went wrong in the download so try downloading it again, also post screencaps of what the game fodlers and your patch folder look like, but use Imgur since the BL attachment system sucks.

For the screen captures of my game folders
Two of the routes work fine while only UBW isn't working, so it must be a problem with one of the files, right?

[Jacktheinfinite101]

Your images aren't public, I can't see them.

[BFFMCO]

Sorry about that, I've never actually used Imgur aside from looking at viral memes and cat pictures. The link should work now.

When I tried to download from the link from mega.co.nz it tells me that the server could not find the file.

[SurferDude]

That's because mega sucks ass and donkey balls.
Try this instead: ****************************uc?id=0BwBw...xport=download

[XerBlade]

Wow, Mega really doesn't discriminate, does it?

There seems to be an event around the first choice scene on Day 8 in UBW (interrogating Issei) that causes my save files to corrupt or something. If I make a save after that point and exit the game, my save files from that point on will be named "No data" once I start the game again. Additionally I seem to lose some CGs and the ED list loses all tiger dojos since my last working save (pre-day 8). The status menu also bugs up at this point and seems to be a revert to my end-of-Fate condition.

I can still access my save and continue the game, only those missing tiger dojos and CGs are bugging me. Support would be much appreciated.

(Haven't actually confirmed this starts on day 8, but it was after that scene I noticed this odd behavior. Getting to the main menu from choosing a bad end without closing the game post-day 8 will have the CGs and tiger dojos working properly; it only seems to occur when I exit the game.)

Uploaded a ss of savedata folder and one displaying the "corrupt" save not properly showing it is the start of day 10, but instead saying "NO DATA" (my leftmost save still works properly).

That sounds like your download of the game got corrupted mid way or something, try re-downloading.

[0verflow]

Hmm, re-downloaded FSN and started off with the backup savedata folder I made after completing the Fate route (so fresh start UBW). Actually this time I made three saves leading up to Day 6, before I returned to title menu and confirmed I had 17/40 tiger dojos and CGs. Exited the game and re-opened it, this time all my three saves said "NO DATA" and my tiger dojo's were reset to 14/40, basically all my UBW progress corrupted (though I can still access the saves).

Will do a complete reinstall, so I'll redownload the patch and start a new game and report when I reach UBW again.

What's your guy's opinion on the 1st Fate H-scene? Having trouble deciding if I'm to watch it or not for my 3rd play through (will watch the 2nd H-scene though since Jack convinced me to).

Just not sure if I want to see Saber getting "raped".

[0verflow]

Edit: Ah, nevermind, figured out my mistake. Sorry to bother.

I guess I didn't notice up until recently, but my saves must have started becoming corrupt every since I migrated my savedata-folder from my visual novel user account in my OS. My main user contains a special character 'ø' so the path to the savedata in My Documents won't be compatible, hence I originally had created a secondary account to play the visual novel >.<. At some point I guess I tried to run it from my main account and was surprised that it worked, only now I realize my foolishness when my savefiles started to mess up.


Old post, irrelevant

Spoiler:

That's a bunch of work for nothing. Basically, with a redownloaded game and redownloaded patch, I started up the Fate route, quickly finished that and quit the game. - Only from then on I couldn't start any of the routes anymore unless I deleted the saved files in my savedata folder.

Tried to start UBW from a clean savedata and made some saves, quit the game and tried to reopen with the same error.

So, I copied my old savedata backup back in again and was able to start and exit the games on a whim like normal, so something must be wrong with the new patch files I downloaded?
The backup savedata folder was made after completing the Fate route though, so I can start UBW without corrupted saves (that are impossible to delete) - only every time I do that now, I get corrupted saves in UBW anytime, doesn't matter when I save. It's impossible to progress properly.

I'm really lost. Maybe I'll try a second redownload of everything tomorrow.

To put it mildly the first H-scene in Fate is rather poor. While the second H-scene is romantic and full of warmth, this one is closer to a cheap porn.
Additionally the reason for it doesn't make too much sense and it feels forced, as if the authors wanted to have H-scene there but couldn't arrange it well so they just thrown some "sex is needed" plot device, only without making sure to smooth it out so it fits well with the mechanics of the world they created. The H-alt is way better in that aspect.

IMO if you like Saber and feel uncomfortable reading about her being violated (which is exactly what happens) it's best to just check the beginning of the scene (before the sex starts) and then either skip the rest or load and go into H-alt instead. At least this is how I feel about it.
