This patch aims to combine the efforts of the ps3 voice patch and the ps3 sprites/background patch, and fill in missing voice files not covered by the original voice patch.

Releases

https://github.com/higurashi-mod/scripts/releases/

Installation:

Install both folders into streamingassets folder. If prompted to overwrite current files, overwrite them. You backed up your files, right?

Grab HigurashiPS3-Voices01.zip: https://mega.co.nz/#F!SRt1DTKI!0vSWMtBLaa2VO0bDgfzb7A

Place s01, s19, s20 folders into streamingassets/SE folder

For the Graphics patch, pick your pack of choice from here: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/xq4ncmss3yiwr/Higurashi_Steam_Modding

Troubleshooting:

"There's a missing voice in this scene!"

Check the Known Issues section of this readme. If it's not in there, report it.

"Why aren't the voices playing?"

Make sure the FULL voice pack is installed. Make sure your directory is as follows:

..SteamApps\common\Higurashi When They Cry\HigurashiEp01_Data\StreamingAssets\SE\

..SteamApps\common\Higurashi When They Cry\HigurashiEp01_Data\StreamingAssets\Update

"It's still not playing/I'm not getting the afternoon/night backgrounds."

Go to ..common\Higurashi When They Cry\HigurashiEp01_Data\StreamingAssets\CompiledScripts

Make a copy of the Complied Scripts folder. Delete onik_000.mg -> onik_15_03.mg and onik_op.mg This will force the game to read the new files.

If this stops the game from working properly, go to ..common\Higurashi When They Cry\HigurashiEp01_Data
And open output_log.txt ; This will tell you which script txt file has the syntax error.

Known Issues:

Generic
- Sometimes the lines don't last long enough for a voice file to play fully.
  - This is most evident when auto is left on.
- BGM volume mutes BGM and Voices
  - Unavoidable, since the voices aren't their own thing -More than one sound effect cannot be played at the same time.
  - Fixable by moving them to a different sound layer.
Chapter 1 -
- Voices not properly aligned during the talk about Keichii's dick scene.
  - There are too many voice files for Keichii for this scene, probably the scene is extended in the ps3 version.
  - Since I don't know japanese, I can't tell which voices are actually used.
Tips
- Missing voices for Keichii's Mom in Tip 20 (At the Seventh Mart)
- Missing voices for lines 1472 to 1524 in Omake_1 (All-cast wrap up scene)
