Post any problems here and you should get some answers.
Remember that this isn't a "Where do I find effects" help thread, it's for technical problems and such droll.

Some downloads:
Ver. 10 English Locale (
http://www.mediafire.com/?u5oxw5vq8sh9koh) Ver .15 (
http://loda.jp/lol_rust/?id=4) HOW TO MAKE VER. 15 WORK ON YOUR COMPUTER:
1) Go to Control Pad, into Regional and Language Options. Go to the Languages Tab and be sure that "Install East Asian files" is checked.
2) Download Applocale (
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=13209). Then set it up on your computer.
3) Download .flow ver. 15 if you haven't already.
4) In the CharSet folder, duplicate a file and rename it 乗り物.
5) Now download this RPG_RT .exe file: (
http://www.4shared.com/file/E6t5pE3y/RPG_RT.html) and put it in the main folder with all the maps and such.
6) Run Applocale and select the above .exe file. Choose the bottom-most language (Japanese).
7) In the set-up thing, save the RPG_RT as a shortcut, rename it dotflow ver15 or something, so you don't have to do the step-by-step thing again and again.
8) You can now play .flow ver 15!

Also, I'm stupid, in the installation guide I forgot to post "REMOVE STRANGE SYMBOLS FROM FOLDER NAME".

Where is post editing ability.

Anonymous 10/19/11 (Wed) 23:48:49 No. 231

Wait, I mean that's apparently a pretty system-specific error with RM2k - I remember getting it in one room on Yume2kki on my main Windows XP partition, but not getting it anymore on my test Windows 7 partition. What's worse, reinstalling the RPG Maker RTP doesn't seem to change anything.
In other words: it is a mystery

>>391 Now I really have no idea what this could be.
Obviously, something is constantly sending signals to directinput. This could be a fake game controller (none of these are "installed" on your system), or a faulty keyboard (I doubt that your older keyboard is defective as well, so neither is this the case).
But since now I'm very curious about this, I'll keep on looking for some kind of solution.

That keyboard still intrigues me, so start over again: unplug the Lycosa, plug in the old keyboard, then do a cold restart (turn off the machine, wait about a minute, then turn it on), and tell us what happens.

Because the problem is either the keyboard, or a nonexistent controller. If it still doesn't work after restarting the system with the old keyboard, show us a screenshot of your device manager…

I don't care if the game is translated or not, all i need is a Locale Version just because i want to play it, the one you install and it doesn't require AppLocale and such.
I'd help if i could to make a Locale Version of 0.15, but i don't even know what to do.
Is there any way to contact the dude who made the last locale version? Just to know what he did or which software he used, not specifically to ask him to make V15 locale.

Try to play Shinsoku Neko. If you are able to play it (and hear the song), open olg.mp3 and see if it opens up alright. Tell me the results

>>1414 Shinsoku Neko also crashes it; I hadn't thought to try playing it before since I am terrible at it. But if it's an mp3 problem, why do other BGMs work? I don't know much about this at all…

>>1422 v0.17 is out already, check the thread made by Kozato
>>1424 I've looked at several threads made by people having the same problem. It's most likely related to your sound drivers/codecs/anything in between
First, update your sound card drivers. I can't tell you the link to them since I don't know what sound card you have
Next, download and install the following programs
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=35 http://www.brothersoft.com/realtek-high-definition-audio-driver-65158.html If nothing else works, download Audacity, open the mp3 files and re-save them as mp3, and check if it works (Shinsoku Neko's BGM is called "fc bgm.mp3", if you want an easy way to test this)
Hopefully one of these steps will solve your problem, but do let me know if they still don't
Anonymous 04/06/12 (Fri) 00:48:26 No. 1441
>>1427 Okay, I'll try that. But also, now that I know the problem is the wav/mp3 thing, if it doesn't work I can just convert the mp3s to wavs! Brute force, and spatially inefficient, but I tested it with one file and it works.
Thanks for all your patience and help!
That Guy !/aPzExRzGw 04/06/12 (Fri) 01:14:56 No. 1442
>>1441 It does work, yes, but does the game immediately recognize those new .wav files?
I was thinking about modifying all the areas that had mp3 files to wav (because, on their BGM settings, it explicitly says "olg.mp3" , for instance) and uploading them as a last resort, but if the game automatically fetches a .wav file with the same name then it might be simpler do convert them all, yes
And you're very welcome, glad I could help

To anyone experiencing the glitched menu text problem (as pictured), please go down the following list:
1) Install the RTPs for Japanese RPG Maker 2000 and 2003.
2) Check that either your system locale for non-Unicode applications is set to Japanese or that AppLocale is installed and is running the game correctly.
3) Replace the RPG_RT.exe in the game directory with another one.
An appropriate RPG_RT.exe and the installers for AppLocale and the 2000 and 2003 Japanese RPG Maker RTPs are all included in this download:
http://www.mediafire.com/?gy3cbfmqyfxf3eb I *think* the RPG_RT.exe files may have some sort of internal locale, and using an English RPG_RT.exe (such as the one from the English version of Yume Nikki) with a Japanese fangame (such as a non-translated .flow) may cause problems such as this.
If anyone thinks that I should add more files to the above collection of RTPs and whatnot, please let me know and I'll get a new file up ASAP.

Hello, just really interested in playing the .17 version of .flow.

And would it really be possible to understand the story and game without it being in English? I can read hiragana/katakana, would that be enough? I don't want to miss out on the story/experience… Should I just play through .10 English and then .17 Japanese? Thanks for your time!

>>2091 Er, 'Japanese files' that is files with Japanese filenames like Panorama/兄妹.png. Simple string comparison for the internal variables and such probably wouldn't break with the wrong encoding, but when it tries passing something like that to fopen bad things happen. That would explain why just dropping the English executable into a Japanese game directory gives you the error about not being able to find a file with a garbage name.

>>2180 I'd say try every button that makes Sabi go left
From my own experience, I have a semi-faulty volume control slider on my laptop, and sometimes it sends wacky keyboard commands instead. During .flow and Y2kki this meant that the Menu button was always pressed, and I couldn't actually press it again until I released it
None of this would have mattered to the discussion if the button I had to press was X, but in fact I had to press like V or B or whatever (which also opens the menu). Took me one hell of a long time to find out
So try pressing the 4 on your numpad too, and if possible find out if there are any other default Left Movement keys on RPG Maker 2000 games and try those. You might get lucky

FOR THOSE OF YOU GETTING THE ????A E ????? ERROR WHEN RUNNING VERSION 0.17 (ENGLISH).
Try this:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/cfmHVOft/flow017_eng.html ?
Basically it's .FLOW VERSION 0.17 (ENGLISH) + plus a few modifications.
I got it to work after looking at a bunch of the shit on this thread and I've compiled a zip with most of the steps done so that you guys have less of a chance to fuck something up.
Basically I followed all the instructions for version 0.15 and just added the rpg_rt.exe from some rpg maker 2000 game that I ripped off the internet and never played.
All you need to do:
1. Have your japanese language packs installed. You should be able to google this pretty easily, and as far as I know, all the language packs for Windows 8 (which is my OS) should be online.
2. Install applocale. If it tells you that a program that's needed to run the installation isn't working properly or something, right click the installer, view properties, and hit the compatibility tab. Click the box under "Compatibility mode" and press OK and install.
3. Run applocale. When you're prompted for a language, click the drop-down menu and scroll all the way to the bottom. See that? That's japanese. Click it. It'll ask you if you wanna make a shortcut. You'll probably wanna do that.
4. There. That should work. It better fucking work.

And it's always best to make sure that you have east asian languages installed… It will help a lot in the future. If it still isn't working after that, you can give us the error message again and we'll be able to tell you what to do exactly. Finally, Could you specify what link you got .flow from?

1. Open AppLocale.
2. Choose to Launch an application, pick .flow 0.18.
3. Choose the language of the application. Japanese is the last option.
4. You can hit finish to launch .flow, or you can create a shortcut to always run this application with AppLocale. I always create a shortcut and save it as .flow version 0.[whatever] English. Save it wherever you'll remember it.

>>2972 Normally I'd help.
But that is the least descriptive error message >_<

>>2973 Seems you may have to change your computer's locale to Japanese and redownloading the game.

>>2975 >>2976 Hey guys!
I switched the language to Japanese but now the game freezes for no apparent reason.
I've re downloaded the game twice and the same error has occured.

>>2977 It would be more helpful if you could post a picture of the error you are getting.
>>2973 Are you using Windows 7 0 8? If that's the case, you will have to install Applocale through cmd and they use it with administrator privileges every time.

Wait, nevermind. It works NOW, since I'm using Locale Emulator to run it.

>>3112 Yeah, you're missing the vehicle file.
Copy anything inside the folder "charset" and rename it to 乗り物.png

>>3113 thank you so much, I don't get the error anymore.
On the other hand I just get a blank screen. I'll try in something other than XP maybe.
