ABSTRACT:
Below are instructions for installing the insani planetarian patch to the CD edition of planetarian. While there are easier ways to get a working, English patched, voiced copy of planetarian, they all involve piracy or buying the DRMed edition. INSTRUCTIONS: 1) Install Planetarian from the CD 2) Download rldev and extract it somewhere. I assume you are on windows, so this (http://dev.haeleth.net/rldev/rldev-1.39-win32.rar) is the file you want. 3) Using 7-zip (http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ckage_id=29413), open up the Planetarian patch .exe file, and extract the KINETICDATA directory somewhere (preferably, someplace easy to type). 4) Save the batch file below as cdpatch.bat and place it in the directory you installed planetarian into. 5) Open up a dos window by going Start > Run... and entering the command "cmd" 6) You will now be at a dos prompt. Type the following commands: Code:
> cd C:\KEY\planetarian_PE Code:
> cdpatch C:\KINETICDATA C:\rldev-1.39-win32-1 cdpatch will complain if any of its preconditions are violated. Otherwise, it should say "Patching complete." 7) You should be able to run the game simply by clicking on REALLIVE.exe in the directory you installed planetarian into. THE SCRIPT: cdpatch.bat Code:
@echo off IF "%1"=="" GOTO ERR_USAGE IF "%2"=="" GOTO ERR_USAGE IF NOT EXIST GAMEEXE.INI GOTO ERR_WRONGDIR IF NOT EXIST %1/SEEN0001.TXT GOTO ERR_NOPATCH IF NOT EXIST %2/bin/kprl.exe GOTO ERR_NORLDEV IF EXIST KINETICDATA GOTO ERR_RLISWEIRD echo Copying game graphical resources from patch to installation... XCOPY /Y /q %1\G00\* G00 XCOPY /Y /q %1\MANUAL\* MANUAL XCOPY /Y /q %1\SYS\* SYS XCOPY /Y /q %1\SYS\img\* SYS\img mkdir kepago set RLDEV=%2 echo Decompiling original patch... FOR %%f IN (%1\SEEN????.TXT) DO %2\bin\kprl -d -t Kinetic -o kepago %%f echo Recompiling patch for RealLive... echo (The compiler will give warnings about targets. This is normal.) FOR %%f in (kepago\SEEN????.ke) DO %2\bin\rlc -t RealLive %%f echo Copying RealLive patch back into planetarian installation XCOPY /Y /Q kepago\SEEN????.TXT %CD% echo Patching complete. GOTO :QUIT :ERR_NOPATCH echo Error: %1 does not appear to be the KINETICDATA directory from the echo original patch. GOTO :ERR_USAGE :ERR_NORLDEV echo Error: %2 does not appear to be the root directory of an rldev echo install. GOTO :ERR_USAGE :ERR_RLISWEIRD echo You appear to have placed the KINETICDATA directory in the same echo directory you installed Planetarian to. This confuses the RealLive echo system. Please move the KINETICDATA directory and try again. GOTO :QUIT :ERR_WRONGDIR echo You appear to have put me in a directory other then where Planetarian echo is installed. Please move me and try again. GOTO :QUIT :ERR_USAGE echo Usage: cdpatch (KINETICDATA directory) (rldev directory) :QUIT Since this script only decompiles and recompiles the original patch for the RealLive system, it has a number of deficinies, all of which would be solved by a modified patch created for the CD edition of planetarian. 1) Every time you start up Reallive.exe, an error message about patchui.exe will occur. It is safe to ignore this. 2) There are issues regarding pagination and word wrapping, though these are minor and do not cause the text to be illegible. 3) There are issues regarding Reverie's voice when there is a pause ("\p") in her spoken lines. This is the exact same problem as first noticed by dg1 in the main Planetarian boxed edition thread. 4) There currently exists an unidentified bug in its self-diagnostic subroutines. Its backup CMOS battery is depleted and must be replaced. It cannot establish communications with the support center... This patch is entirely unsupported. |

it's also worth noting that if you copy the patchui.exe and patchui.dat to the planetarian folder it will give you translated right click menus as well as remove the patchui error message.

here is a modified batch that has it automatically copy the patchui over for you.
Code:
@echo off IF "%1"=="" GOTO ERR_USAGE IF "%2"=="" GOTO ERR_USAGE IF NOT EXIST GAMEEXE.INI GOTO ERR_WRONGDIR IF NOT EXIST %1/SEEN0001.TXT GOTO ERR_NOPATCH IF NOT EXIST %2/bin/kprl.exe GOTO ERR_NORLDEV IF EXIST KINETICDATA GOTO ERR_RLISWEIRD echo Copying game graphical resources from patch to installation...

FOR %%f in (kepago\SEEN????.ke) DO %2\bin\rlc -t RealLive %%f echo Copying RealLive patch back into planetarian installation XCOPY /Y /Q kepago\SEEN????.TXT %CD% echo Patching complete. GOTO :QUIT :ERR_NOPATCH echo Error: %1 does not appear to be the KINETICDATA directory from the echo original patch.

I might note that I deliberately didn't copy over patchui.exe because as I understood it, it messed with the internal memory layout of Kinetic...and the CD edition ran in RealLive. I then assumed that the memory layout between Kinetic and RealLive would be different...and would lead to the possibility of segfaulting RealLive.
I suppose I shouldn't have been so presumptuous. Thank you. |

Rather than poking known locations, patchui scans the game's memory for the strings it wants to change (which is why it causes problems on old computers). This implementation was chosen as the simplest way to handle the multiple interpreters used by different releases of the game. I'm pleasantly surprised to learn that it continues to work with new versions. :)

I've made a modified english patch for the voiced version of Planetarain that fixes all of the problems with word wrapping and the pauses in Reverie's voice, as well as translates the additions to the Music Mode and the Credits. There's still some editing to do before I'd call it releasable, but besides that it's complete. So anyways, I'm just wondering how many people would find this patch useful. If someone wants it, then I'll release it once I finish editing and I find a way to host it.
Also, since I'm using a lot of their work, if either Insani or Haeleth doesn't want me releasing this, then I won't. |

As I have stated in other threads, insani categorically does not condone the creation of a CD patch using our translation.

Hmm... I could be wrong but the license for the Planetarian translation patch seems to indicate that modifying the script is OK, as long as it is clearly marked as being modified.

gp32 didn't say he forbids you from releasing it... he just doesn't like the idea. There has been enough pirating (and lying about said pirating) of the non voiced version as it is. This is just my take from what little I have talked with him but I think it's a pretty reasonable conclusion.
You could still release it but please respect that it doesn't sit well with the translation authors before making the decision. |

vampiresaru is correct.

Alright then, if gp32 doesn't want me releasing it, then I'll just keep the patch to myself.

sorry to be all annoying and newbish. But I can't seem to install mine :( I bought the voiced PC version and would like to try the patch on it, but it is being a complete annoyance to do >.<
Do I need to change the language settings before I can download it from the CD? It doesn't want to work >.< |

if you give me some better description of what problem you are having I might be able to help.

Does anyone know how he(Marcus) fixed those issues?
I'd be really interested to find out(As I was silly enough to buy a copy of Planetarian when I visited Akihabara (Electronics District in Tokyo) without first checking if it was compatible with the english patch). EDIT: { Oh, and thanks a million times over to the people who made this thread, and especially the people who translated this wonderful game into English in the first place. It's people like you, who make people like me want to be a part of this community. } |

[quote="proteenx11"]Does anyone know how he(Marcus) fixed those issues?/quote]
My guess is he extracted the script from the retail version, compared it with the script from the patch, and then modified the patch's script to reflect differences in the retail script. At least, that's how I'd do it, and my vague investigating of RealLive scripts suggests it wouldn't be too hard. |
