vpatch for touhou

Post by Kurokeno »

Hey guys!! I hope this will be the correct topic to question this. I don't know where to post this, if isn't necessary to create a topic for this, tell me where I have to post it please.

I'm Trying to use the vpatch with the EoSD but it doesn't work. I put the vpatch.ini and vpatch.exe inside EoSD's folder, and the EoSD's DLL file too. Then I change the th06e.exe name's file to "東方紅魔郷.exe" and run the patch.

I have tried this with 2 PCs, one with Windows 7 and the other with Windows XP and I have this error in both:

Use AppLocale, or try renaming the executable to:

Code: Select all

“Œ•ûg–‚‹½

Ohh!! Thousands of thanks!!

Y tried to rename the executable with the strange symbols (I guess that are the kanjis with other system of codification) and it works!!

But the problem isn't resolved yet. The question 2.0 is:

I play with an ACER laptop, and these laptops haven't diagonals (I guess that the keyboard's architecture of ACER laptops don't allow to press two directional keys with "shift" and "z" simultaneously) and researching the internet I found a method to change the key's config in the Zun's danmaku. The program I use to do this is called "Autohotkey" and I can do scripts for the 2-12(13?) touhou games.

With this method I convert the Script to an executable that calls to the "eosd"'s executable (I can put the name I want to this executable, but is necessary to especify this in the script before convert it) and with this method the game is opened with the new key config (the old config remain too).

So, I tried to use the patch with the Autohotkey, putting "“Œ•ûg–‚‹½" at the executable of Autohotkey, trying that the vpatch open the autohotkey executable, and the executable calling simultaneously to the .exe, that I named it "“Œ•ûg–‚‹½" too.

But as expected, this doesn't work. I have assumed that I only play with the vpatch (without lagg) or the Autohotkey (my key config to have diagonals), but... Exist any possibility to use them both??

Sorry for the long post, for the complexity of the problem and sorry for my english too, is too hard for me write this ^^U

Thanks for your time!!

It would probably be a good idea to install the Japanese language pack on your machines.

Get a keyboard and just use the vpatch.

Install the Japanese language pack, then either switch your locale to Japanese or use AppLocale.
