This page is for discussion of the technical side of content creation. If you have a technical issue or question with regards to a character or story you are creating, talk about it here.
(The old Custom Content thread can be found here)
Helpful things:
--> Medium build girl, the .psd that was used to create the built-in characters, is available with layer names in English.
--> Kudos to SparkleFox for finding us a male tachie generator, authored by "彩 雅介" (Aya Mayabaikai?)! This one is put together as a program, but has PSD files with layer-names in Japanese. No "fan-translation" available at this time.
--> You can use any of these images for making new custom characters.
--> Notepad++ with syntax highlighting for Heartache 101 can be a big help with story creation. To set it up, go to the View menu and set User Defined Language to HeartAche. Then close View, go to the Language menu and select HeartAche. (If you already have Notepad++, here's userDefineLang.xml by itself)
--> Mr. Help File has, regrettably, forgotten to mention certain locations! They are as follows:
Beach (sunset), Grounds (sunset), Roof (sunset), Bedroom (Morning), Downtown, Studio Room.
Note that these locations must be specified via a PLACE command. To the best of my (ie: Marrend's) knowledge, they cannot be obtained via the generic "School" or "City" code.

... might as well; I am aware that there is a lock affection command, in that the character remains on the current affection level, neither able to increase or decrease. What about a similar command that locks the current affection, but it allows for affection to either increase or decrease exclusively?
Hmmm... context. Well, for decrease, I'll use an example from a couple of my characters in progress. I'll refer to them as 1 and 2 for simplicity. After you meet 1 and get sufficient affection from her 2 shows up and they start to hang around you. 2's affection can increase and whatnot, but once it reaches a certain level, they reveal that they were, in fact, 'testing' you to see if you're 'good enough' to go out with 1. There would be a chance to convince her that you want to go out with her (Attribute Check), in which case affection operates normally, but if you fail or decide against it, 2 gives you her blessings and her affection locks at Friendly (or maybe Like). Now, what I'm wondering about this is... say you run into 2 in an encounter and you decide to find someone else to talk to, and you do this every time you run into her, it doesn't really make sense that she wouldn't start to get annoyed with you. If her affection drops you would be able to bring it back to where it was locked, but no higher (though I guess it would hold little reason, unless you need 2's affection to be at least friendly to progress with 1's story for some reason ^.^;). It's just a small thing, but I thought I would bring it up for consideration. ^.^;
I would bring up an argument about the other side of the equation, increase, but to be frank it's only really there for if someone else wants it. ^.^;
I will probably just set it to lock normally anyways, or have her stop showing up in encounters altogether (it works well enough with her), but I feel like it might be a useful enough function. Though that's probably just me. =.=;

Ya, pretty much. ^.^;... was sorta just thinking out loud. Not sure if it sounds like such a good idea now that I've actually typed it out, though. Also decided after my temporary loss of internet that I didn't need to go into such a long theoretical spiel to explain it. Kinda regret having posted that. =.=;

author=Muteauthor=MarrendIn Noriko's route, she slowly shifts from enjoying debating to enjoying poetry. Accordingly, MIND to SOUL. People's interests can change over time. Perhaps make it a "(Attribute) PROC. = (A-D) command. Changing proclivity ranks, you know.
"FOCUS =" just seems weird. I dunno. I'll have to think about it moreeven if, ultimately, I can't do much about it.
I asked about this during the creation process for Noriko, but at the time it was kiboshed. Would love to see it happen.
author=Marrend
Speaking of Noriko, where the heck is dewelar?
Hey, cool, I've actually been missed :) . Happy New Year to you all! I've been lurking, mostly, and also sulking a bit over not being able to get Dozen's music file to work :( .
More seriously, I was pretty busy over the holidays, and doing some writing (mostly working on my Katawa Shoujo fanfic). I also played/read about halfway through Heartache 101 with a friend of mine who's blind (I'd been trying to get her to play ever since I got her into VN's in the first place), and she mostly went for interactions with Riho. We might do another session in the future when we've got a good long block of time.

Lots of y'all have been missed, and some still are being missed.
What do you mean by being unable to get it working? Are you unable to download it, or unable to get it working in the game?
Also, huh, I saw that post over in the KS forums and didn't think you were also reading Heartache 101 to that friend of yours. Did you tell her about your custom content? It might be cool to see what she thinks of Noriko eventually.
Anyway, welcome back, I guess. i can't help but make unmanly sounds upon seeing your avatar.

I downloaded it, but I cannot for the life of me get it to actually play...ANYWHERE. I've tried WMP, RealPlayer, Media Monkey...none of them actually work. I did try adding the song to her profile as well, but I get no sound at all, no matter what. No idea why.

Actually, I do believe I've created a monster with her. Since reading KS, I've since read Hoshizora no Memoria, Quartett, Kira Kira, and Kanon. Next on the list is either Deardrops or G-senjou no Maou.
Did you tell her about your custom content? It might be cool to see what she thinks of Noriko eventually.
*nods* We wanted to try it without any extra content the first time through. She was disappointed that, by focusing on one girl, it went by too quickly. She was also sad that we never met Akari, who I'd told her was my favorite.
Anyway, welcome back, I guess. i can't help but make unmanly sounds upon seeing your avatar.
*laughs* Thanks!

author=dewelarJust wondering, is the issue with that music file specifically, or is it your media player that isn't working? I'd assume the former..
Any luck yet?
*continues wishing*
EDIT: Some ideas:
1. Move the file from one computer to another and see if it works there.
2. Perhaps converting it to one type of audio file and back to MP3 might work.
3. Reinstall/update your media players.
4. Google more possible solutions.
I dunno what's causing the issue, but it's only on your computer as it works on other PCs just fine. If you've already tried all this, then I'm sorry for repeating failed ideas.
The music piece is simply too awesome for you not to hear it.

Sounds like a job for me. Wish me luck.

Any progress? What have you tried?Just managed it. This should work, if it doesn't I'll look into some converters. Still, even if it doesn't play for him, it will for everyone else who doesn't have the same problem. Uploading now...
Oh, also, I have some ideas to improve the dialogue at points, if I may. And I recommend you install GOMPlayer or Audacity(maybe KMPlayer, which is just as desirable for the task at hand save for being full of semi-hidden adware). They are famous for being able to read pretty much anything and their codecs could fix whatever issue your computer in general has in processing them.

Sooo... I believe that this is probably the most relevant thread to ask the following question: Has anyone made/is anyone planning on making a character named Kagami yet? If not, may I reserve ID 51 for a Kagami? (my current avatar) If my assumption of "..." = "unclaimed ID's" in the ID list is correct. Otherwise, I'll just ask for a different one. ^.^;

I'll need a family name and you've got it.
At worst you still increase our traffic and bring more life to the forums. Don't be so hard on yourself.(About this only, I hope I don't have to say. You should harden as much as possible for route work you actually do!) It's hard to keep the community alive, and you're certainly contributing to that.
We expect quality work when you publish, which does not at all mean you should publish. As long as your creativity draws breath, you can keep it in development as long as you want. Development hell doesn't exist for Visual Novels. No need to feel guilt over it.

Hold on, just reaching into my brain to compound a name based on what little Japanese I actually know... Shiromiya Kagami. Or, by Heartache conventions Kagami Shiromiya. ^.^
Thanks for alleviating my admittedly pointless guilt. ^.^

That's not the convention>< We're using the Eastern order. If you see a full name, given name first, anywhere, report it. That's not how it's supposed to be.

Oh! How did I not properly notice that before? The names in the ID list are, in fact, in proper Japanese order! Well, now I can stop typing my character's names improperly. (For whatever reason I had decided to do it in the first place =.=;) Every time I did, I died a little inside. ^.^; lol
Her name got on the list fast! O.O Umm... not to be a bother, but I was thinking that since her name is actually on there, could you please put Kurokawa Sarako and Kurokawa Mikari on ID's 71 and 72 respectively? (That's who those two 'reserved for BDFalcon' are supposed to be. ^.^)

I'm feeling development hell, but not in that sense. More in the "torture" aspect of hell, rather than the "limbo" feeling development hell generally implies. Sometimes I feel like I'm just a young stupid boy unqualified to be writing a story about romance, especially since I've never experienced romance. Other times, I feel like I'm writing garbage and no one is going to like my work. Sometimes I feel like I can't get a single idea out of my head or I'm just too lazy to put them down.
"Maybe this is too fast." "This doesn't make sense." "That's unnecessarily spontaneous." "Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong." There's only like two scenes I've written that I'm confident about.
I think I'm a little worried that my creativity will not draw breath, that I'm doing something wrong. Oh well, I should continue. At the very least, it will be an accomplishment, some form of contribution to the Heartache world and it will be something I can enjoy.
