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.

[If a mod could sticky this that would be great]

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!

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.

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.

To make a localed version, you need to change every filename so it doesn't have any japanese (or otherwise foreign) characters, then assign them to everything in RPG Maker.

For anyone who had the " Not Implemented Error " I have fixed it for myself and this fix might work for you.

You need to go into the .flow music folder and convert .flowbeet,bgm6,bgm8,bgm13,bgm19,fc bgm, fc bgm3,lainbow2,naminooto,olg to Wave. After you do that the game shouldn't crash anymore and the songs will still play properly.

Folks with Arrow Key problems:
- Run game
- Disconnect all USB Devices (save mouse and keyboard)
- Reconnect each device one by one while the game is running to determine what is the cause of the problem.

OR

- Disable Bluetooth or disconnect whatever device manages Bluetooth.

Had this problem on 2 Win 7 machines. Popping out my Bluetooth adapter solved it for my desktop and disabling Bluetooth for my netbook. Game works fine for both now. I've read some people need to disable their wifi devices if bluetooth is integrated.

Like I said, it's fine until you get in bed to save. I don't think it has to do with the locale, that seems fine.

I should amend my earlier comment; there *is* an error message, but not from RPG maker; rather, there is a general Windows error message saying that RPG-RT has stopped working; do you want to close the program/look for solutions.

 No.1402

And, the problem occurs only and always with the bed/saving, as far as I can tell. I've tried walking around worlds, picking up effects, interacting with things, and that's all fine. But, every time I've run the program, it freezes when I try to save.

I believe the problem is the MP3 file. Maybe you have some sort of program that loads to play MP3 files and conflicts with RPG Maker games. I'll need you to do one last thing to verify this, and then I can make a custom event

>>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!

 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

Right - I've actually successfully installed .flow version .15 prior and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Attempting an encore with the installation of version .17 has me wracking my brain.

I believe there's an English rendition up on DotFlowWiki at this point, if anyone's curious as to playing outside of Weeaspeak.

Anyways, I'm failing and failing and failing again to run version .17

I've tried running Applocale, which is curious in the sense that it says it "Cannot Launch" things like RPG2000 and despite having Weeaspeak working a-okay and having set everything possible to "Japan," everything seems to explode into Mojibake one I open a installer.

If no one else is having this probably, I can be readily convinced that it's my SEAFARING BANDITed OS.

I tried changing my locale to Japanese, using AppLocale, and installing the 2000 RTP and the 2003 RTP, but so far, I still get the same weirded-up text.

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.

 No.2091

Ooooh, that's what you meant. Awesome. Thanks for all the work you put into it.
I *think* it would require renaming all of the Japanese files and replacing their references, since the localized executable probably uses one of those pre-Unicode encodings like Windows-1252, and renaming the RTP references to those of the localized version. Not sure though. Can't find the translated version 0.10 to see what they did to get it to work with the English localized executable.

 No.2092

>>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.

I've put my computer's language to Japanese, and downloaded the RPG Maker RPT. The file named 乗り物 in charset was already there, and I put the RPG Maker RPT in the .flow folder.

>>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

 No.2193

You will have to install Eastern Languages support or Japanese language pack on your computer. You will also need AppLocale, so try to find out how to get past whatever error you're having. You should also extract .flow using an AppLocale'd 7zip

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.

Ignore that first part…
What I'm meaning to say is that it's difficult to help you when we don't know what the error message is saying. Try to reinstall/apply a japanese locale as by your system settings or through app locale. 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? It could be a faulty download.

Well, you can't just open .flow without telling AppLocale what you want to do.

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.

You're done.

Why does people always blame AppLocale? It only fucking renders the characters correctly so they look like japanese and tell the computer how to interpretate them. It doesn't affect anything more than that.

 No.2687

Yes I know it's an image, but do you know where exactly it is? And yes, I know that AppLocale only renders the characters, but I tried rendering it in two different languages and I got two different problems: The one I posted, and then I got one problem which showed the directory of the image and it said that a certain name was missing…But I still have no clue what image it is.

Try in each folder which contains images copying any of the present files and renaming it exactly like the .exe is asking you. Problem fixed, and the folder it showed you is probably the one.

How about this time, try redownloading a clean copy. Maybe your copy got corrupted during download or something.

Here's the download link for the Japanese version.

I got it to work, thank you! (So far at least)
I had read the thread previously but I figured the fixes were for those specific version of the game, such as how the first post was for ver. 15.
All I had to do was run RPG_RT in Applocale after "forcing" Applocale to run on my computer.

Hello, I just downloaded version 0.192 in English, but when I run the game an error appears with ????tm ?????. Is there any wayto fix this and play the game? I think I should rename one of the files that contains strange lettering, but even if I did-I have no idea what to rename it to.

It would be more helpful if you could post a picture of the error you are getting.

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.

 No.2979

The error I was getting before should be in the the <<2972 post. I switched the language to Japanese under control panel. Now though, the game just freezes.
I've installed the game under an administrator account? Is that what you mean?

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.
