Better?




How long did it take you to make that? (And How?!?)

Some 2-3 hours for three complete sets of tachie ...

Basically I used the suggestions in Mr. Helpfile and the tachie generator from the head of the threat "content creation (technical)"

... I'll post details there ... since the process is more techincal the artistic :)
@Marrend and @Garage
How do you share custom content? How do you get it all in the same file (Tachie, Story etc)

I always copy my stuff to a clean folder, recreating the structure like this:

Tachie
+-- myproject
+-- mytachie1.png
+-- mytachie2.png
...
Story
+-- myproject
+-- thegreatadventure.txt
+-- journey_part2.txt
...

Profiles
+-- myproject
+-- my_profiles.txt
Then you can select all those folders (Tachie, Story, Profiles) and right click > send to > compressed folder.

You'll get a ZIP file containing all your content which can be dumped right into the game directory, creating all the needed subdir's.

Edit: I mean: select all of them at once, then right click while they are still selected.
Updated the early fragment of wingirl

The Tachies of Sayumi and Mayumi have had their hair moved behind their backs.

@Garage: The tachie is definitely better! I hope to look into that content in more detail maybe next week.

@RukasuWYZ: I had a small FAQ on the official site (with pictures!) that detailed how to make a compressed file so that when it decompresses, the files go where they should. Presuming the target directory is the main Heartache directory. One might be able to get the text-part of it from the Wayback Machine, but, maybe not the pictures.

That would be greatly appreciated - as long as you do not expect too much.

I posted it to find out about problems with my tachie in advance (mission accomplished on that part, thanks to you) - and because I wanted someone else to test my "guess-the-twin" game - you will know what that is supposed to mean pretty soon (around the third or fourth encounter with them).

I would recommend uploading using your RMN locker. You can either get there via a link in your profile or by hovering your mouse over your user-name (at the top-left of the screen), which will activate a context-menu, and clicking on "Locker".
Does anyone have a background PIC of a barber shop / hairstylist I could use in my content? The two collections posted by Kevincalanor don't.

And maybe a dark side road with an ATM ...
OK. Since I got no bug reports yet (for over two weeks) and I consider it finished anways: here is my official release of multiending_v1.zip.

If It's deemed worth of being published under "finished content" please use this image as a teaser:


Content: Stories, one backround
Requires: clean mode off
Credits: I used (and slightly edited) "CG Naoko cleans Kazuki closet.jpg" from the SOSC baground pack published in this thread.

...Garage, can't you just... say it's complete, and post in the Finished Content page? I'm the absolute last person to talk about self-confidence (I'm sure Dozen can agree with this assessment), but, it's a little sad at hearing "if it's deemed worth of being published under Finished Content" a second time.


Or, I could be way the hell over-reacting. Seems possible.

Hey - I don't know the rules of this place by heart ;)

So - basically - if I decide it's done, then I am the one to move it to "finished content"? K - I'll be on it.

Somehow I assumed it would have to be approved or something ...
Uploaded an INCOMPLETE version of INN to my locker - if anyone wants to tru

I took a short look at INN - see my comments in the technical thread.
Here is a first playable version of my WingGirl-project.

It's designed for "Clean Mode = ON".

Finishing the main route with Clean Mode off might be possible, but maybe there is not enough time (if you have to deal with Miki and the others).

I'll give that a try One day...?
@RukasuWYZ: in your content the player seems to have "Sato" as a last name ...

Did you find this somewhere in the game or in these threads or has that been your own decision?

Very interesting, since Sato is also Akari's family name...
