/monster/ - The Last Bastion of Romance

Is the horrifying shit and the shit-tier art still in the game? Honestly the wildly varying art styles really annoyed me. The disgusting shit can be avoided, but that god damn shit artist did like every other monstergirl.

Other dev (not OP) here.

Short answer? No.

Long answer? ONscripter is ass and you can barely do anything in it. The only command available starts a music file from the beginning, no other options.

I (might) be able to cook something up by modifying onscripter itself rather than the script, but no promises. Kind of busy with other stuff at the moment.

>>377494

It's all still there, didn't really want to remove any content.

>>377492

Yeah, put that down as a "not happening". Although could you clarify what you mean by "special attacks"? Do you mean luka's skills? Those don't use movies, the only skills that use them are alice's special moves and a couple other special instances (such as aqua pentagram I think)

>>377487

Thanks anon. I'll give it a roll.

>>377520

I'm using 7zip at my extraction program. It's better than Winrar, imo.

>>377487

This may seem like a dumb question but is all of this meant to be pasted over the the original game? Because it doesn't have the exe or dll files, that I can find at least.

>>377520

I'm not sure about this error right now. I'll look into it.

>>377522

This one, on the other hand, combined with the screenshot, is a clear indication that you didn't download and extract the static files.zip from the first link first like you're supposed to. It might be causing the first error as well.

Yeah, looks like I overlooked that somehow. Usually better about following instructions… It'll probably work fine now.

>>377544

Works fine when you follow the instructions right. I was able to play through the original game without hitting any major game breaking bugs, but I'll let you know if anything pops up. Thanks again.

>>377520

Yeah for whatever reason 7zip can be a bit…finnicky sometimes with these archives. I recommend trying winrar if you're having issues, or check if 7zip has any updates.

>>377555

It was pretty fun to play through the first time. And this game was one of the main things that made me really start liking monstergirls, in the first place. It will be nice to play a bit more polished version.

>>378251

All 3.

Why is the Update drive empty?

>>379309

Because all the updates were rolled into the same download. Read the pastebin again as well, the installation instructions have changed.

Why is it so large? I thought they were all just images.

>>387638

Lots of images. Some gameplay.

So aside of being able to save anywhere, which is nice, are custom routes supported?

WE LOVE YOU OP!

>>377487

Okay, so update time. I'm the guy who worked on bugfixing for the script for this, and I thought I made a good pass when this was first posted, but there was even more left to do than I could imagine. I've found and fixed a lot more things like battle lines being displayed incorrectly and incorrect names in places like "Aqua Pentagram" being called "Aqua Pentagon".

I also went through and fixed a lot of inconsistencies that popped up if locations were skipped. For example, making sure that the Goblin Girl doesn't show up at the end of the Yamatai Village visit in Part 3 if the bandit cave wasn't completed. Some plot detail spoilers here to explain what else I had to do to fix this. The most significant change I had to make in this regard was San Ilia's appearance in the final battle sequence. Previously, San Ilia would be destroyed if the Haunted Mansion wasn't completed in Part 1, but there were still checks in the script for visiting San Ilia in Part 3 with the Haunted Mansion either completed or not. I normally avoid any sort of rewrite like the plague, but I had no choice but to add a new sequence for the final battle in order to fix an inconsistency that happens as a result of this. Finish the Haunted Mansion location in Part 1, but skip the Haunted Mansion and BioLabs in Part 3. Watch in amazement as Chrome shows up out of nowhere to save San Ilia, with three Cirque Du Croix members backing her up. In order to make the sequence of events make sense if Chrome's locations were skipped, I had to add a new scene for San Ilia's battle without Chrome, with her scene playing afterward if her locations were completed. Now San Ilia can be saved in Part 3 without visiting the Haunted Mansion, with the different dialogue that was in the script before but previously inaccessible.

Besides fixing a bunch of things (like an "of couse" that I'm embarrassed I missed before), I added two new features to this update. The first is H-Scene skips for story H-Scenes. Before, there was an option to automatically skip or prompt to skip H-Scenes for fights that have already been viewed. However, H-Scenes in the middle of the game's story were still mandatory. Now the same option can be used to skip those scenes. If you're not interested in seeing the Chimera Prison's scene, for example, you can skip past it.

The second feature, also optional, is a rework for how the elemental spirits and Serene Mind and Fallen Angel Dance function. Before, once they were activated, you had to wait for them to expire before you could activate them again. Now, with the exceptions of Salamander and the SP-draining version of Serene Mind, you can refresh them at any time as often as you wish, and new counters in the battle display will show you how many turns each ability has left. This will hopefully make it easier to prevent a spirit from expiring at a bad time. You can either stick with the old style to preserve the original experience, or use the new system for convenience.

For both of these features, you need to go to the Special Config menu under Extras to select what options you want.

The updated scripts aren't included in the full downloads, so be sure to get them from the Updates Drive in the pastebin, which now has the new files. Get the right txt script file for your version of the game and put it in your folder to replace the old one. Unfortunately, old saves will be broken with the updated game since the scripts have been changed. We also found that some bgm files sounded off due to the sample rates, so get those from the Updates Drive as well and put them in your bgm folder to replace the ones you have if they don't sound right.

I don't know what you mean by custom routes, but this is just the original game with the improvements I've talked about. The only story changes are some translation rewrites for better grammatical structure while preserving the original meaning, as well as the few changes I had to make for story consistency when locations are skipped that I talked about above. We wanted to upscale and polish the original game without any revisionism.

>>377487

Anyone got a 100% save file?

After a lot of extra work, we've finished another set of major improvements to the Remaster. The pastebin link in the OP has been updated with new information, so read it again carefully to be up to date.

First, we've made the entire package for both versions much, much smaller. We've managed to compress the 720p version to 2 GB and the 1080p version to 2.9 GB. The image quality isn't quite as high as it was before, but it's very close, and as a result it's much faster to download. If you've been on the fence about downloading the remaster, it's now much easier than before.

The second big change is we've worked out a system to have all the dialogue word wrapped, making it easier to read (and with a port like this, it was easier said than done). Our tests so far show all the dialogue displaying correctly, but let us know if anything still looks out of place.

Third and final, we've included an optional script to produce upscaled side stories. It involves working with a waifu2x upscaler, so it's only recommended if you think your computer can handle it. We've included instructions and a step by step command prompt as the program runs, so it shouldn't be too difficult to follow. NVIDIA GPUs with CUDA should should be able to upscale through the GPU. CPU processing is also an option, but usually takes longer and eats more CPU resources.

If you already have the remaster downloaded, you can get the updated script from the Updates folder. Once again, this will break old saves. The only remaining issues with presentation are the missing dll effects and mpg files cutting off the music, forcing the music to reset. Unfortunately, short of a major engine overhaul for Onscripter, there is no way to fix these issues in the foreseeable future.
