▶Games usually discussed here
eraTohoTW — Comfy Touhou dating simulator with time stop shenanigans.

I'm trying to write dialogue for Sanae and I plan to give the player the option to choose how much they understand whatever outside world topic she brings up (letting the player decide if they understand early 2000s culture, tech, and whatnot)
Where would be the best location to place all the flags, functions, variables, and whatever? In her dialogue folder?
>>
I love Eirin's short explanation scene after the Hourai event, makes things feel more connected
next I'd like some other characters to be able to react to it too. Plenty of girls bring up the idea that you'll be gone before them and I want them to know its okay, or even silly things like Yuugi bringing up how just once she wants to hug you at full strength and I want to let her

Started playing TW again on the anonTW branch, pleasantly surprised that my save from a 2023 dev branch still works, and I'm loving the additional clarity on how to get various traits and such, because hoo boy was i stumbling in the dark trying to get the lewd traits before updating.
I got a question on some other unlocks/events though. What are the reqs for First Menstruation for childlike tohos, and how to trigger the real doll medicine event that allows sex?
Is there somewhere I can look this up ingame? I did notice a guide on how to lose ignorant but haven't seen anything for the other two.
>>
>>50988438
one of the start menu hints will mention first menstruation, just pour a fuckton of semen into them
for Medicine, iirc get her to love and theres a chain from there to talk to various other 2hus that might help. I remember there being stuff with Eirin and Alice among others

What the fuck new thread already?
>>50988282
I love feeling like I'm in danger.

I love feeling Sanae's soft gamer thighs

I need some help finding some Synthesis items. I'm specifically looking for the Tonbogiri and Silver Helmet/Armor Piece. I'm pretty stumped on Tonbogiri, but I imagine the Silver Pieces come from killing Cu Chulainns in the Cathedral or hunting powerful shadows in Tartarus?
What's the reason the Ame no Nuboko is described as "Almighty?" It doesn't seem to be especially strong compared to other weapons I can make, and I'm seeing it as a Slash affinity weapon.

What does it has to do with Hourai?
>>
>>50989245
sorry I was replying to the wrong thing
Eirin has a scene the morning after Kaguya's Hourai event where she apologizes to you for making the elixir again, and if she also loves you she explains that she went along with Kaguya out of her own selfish desires for you to live forever. She is terrified you'll hate her for cursing you like that, and its a touching little scene with her that lets you choose to forgive her or not.

Ah I see.

So in order to update I just redownload the repo and put my saves in it right
>>
>>50989373
Uhhhh I think there was a way to auto update with git that hasn't worked for me for like 7 years now or something but yeah that's what I do. Just remember to download the latest version instead of the latest "stable release" or whatever its called, as that is several months if not years old by now.

fairies should be judged by the content of their character, not just because they're a fairy

I really like how Parsee has a line for practically every character when she rants (Good job to the writer)
Is it excessive to have a similar function applied to normal conversations or other actions and events?

Yes.
Should it be done? Also yes.

Not gonna lie, the interactions in Eientei, especially with Reisen and Tewi is one of the reasons why I want to understand EraBasic for a bit and expand the recognition system.

I feel like Mokou should be able to recognize the scent of another Hourai individual, and depending on affection, react with sympathy, jaded indifference, or slight betrayal with a making up arc.

Reisen also making a comment about immortality should probably have you just responding with an open-ended "..." as if in recognition of your guilt or such actions.

Or Eirin should be somewhat dumbfounded how you are a Hourai individual if you Baitsa Dasuto but neither Kaguya nor herself know you deeply, so she would probably ask you how you got there.

Anyway I'm just rambling, standard faggot behavior i know.
>>
>>50990085
I completely agree, more characters should be able to react to such a big change, and the few who do already have something is some of the most memorable stuff in TW to me
Reisen having the same conversation about immortality feels weird after it, and some of the gods or other immortals should have opinions about your situation
>>
>>50990085
The scent?

>Reisen also making a comment about immortality should probably have you just responding with an open-ended "..." as if in recognition of your guilt or such actions.
?
>>
>>50990085
Your literallyme getting Hourai'd courtesy of Kaguya should've ignited Mokou's murderboner against her. Or at least there should've been a scene where Mokou confronts Kaguya about it.
Actually, now that I think about it, TW doesn't really seem to have any dialogue or interactions that delve on Kaguya and Mokou's rather complicated relationship. There's a lot of meaty stuff that can be done in a relationship dynamic between (You), Kaguya and Mokou.
>>
>>50990118
its established with at least one other scene that getting Hourai'd is recognizable, as Marisa and Reimu are both able to tell. Stands to reason that Mokou could too. As for Reisen, she has a conversation topic that is negative about the concept of immortality, and ends it with asking you to not tell Kaguya she feels that way. A player who was Hourai'd by Kaguya should have a reaction to that.
>>50990143
in general TW lacks on interactions between the girls, because the point is your interactions with them
>>
>>50990150
>As for Reisen, she has a conversation topic that is negative about the concept of immortality, and ends it with asking you to not tell Kaguya she feels that way. A player who was Hourai'd by Kaguya should have a reaction to that.
Ah I see, that would be awkward. And funny.
But how would that be the player's problem?
>>
>>50990152
because you would and should have some feelings on the matter, especially when its presented as a negative thing thats been forced on you
>>
>>50990162
>especially when its presented as a negative thing thats been forced on you
Oooooh, right, good idea.
...Wait, can't you actually choose being a Hourai person?
>>
>>50990150
>the point is your interactions with them
The point is interacting with them in a believable facsimile of the Touhou world. For example, Kosuzu still hangs out with Akyuu on days off. You CAN cuck their little friendship time away by taking one other girl and ending their day together early, or if you're lovers with both, you can just literally insert yourself into their little playdate and have a 3P orgy. Your interactions with them have priority over everything else, but on their own, the girls still act like and primarily interact with who you expect them to in the actual setting.

I know TW is a bunch different writers and varying degrees of autism and all that. But its a shame that we didn't get that for Mokou (and her relationship to Kaguya. Hell, I don't recall her having unique interactions with Keine either). Especially how in TohoK, Mokou has a unique event where she rampages through your territory just so that she can throw down with Kaguya.

>>50990167
TW sets Hourai as a unique race that you can't pick in character creation. It's something uniquely acquired by making Kaguya a bit too crazy for (You).
>>
>>50990171
I could have sworn you could... maybe in debug mode? Or in another version? Blah.
>>
>>50989990
My favorite part about Parsee's dialogue...... does not involve Parsee at all!
It's when you are helping her with work and Genjii shows up. You slowly escort him to Satori and all the while you hear him talk about himself, Gensokyo and his
>granddaughter
Reimu.
Very heart-warming to see a nod to him and how proudly he speaks about Reimu. I absolutely loved this dialogue, props to the writer.
>>
>>50990162
>especially when its presented as a negative thing
It's always hilarious how not dying a sad slow death from your body shutting down is always portrayed as a bad thing. ????????? You mean to tell me that being incapable of doing things you used to love to do is a good thing? Forgetting precious memories because you get progressive brain damage is a good thing? Yeah you'll be sad when your loved ones grow old and die, but you're also sad when your dog grows old and dies. Do you stop getting or caring about dogs?
>>
>>50990193
I'm right there with you anon. Immortality is a blessing and I'm tired of pretending its a curse.
>>
>>50990193
>>50990195
Let's not get into this again, I don't want to have... people with dubious takes to shitpost.
>>
>>50990195
what are you planning to do 10^10000 years after the universe has reached its final entropic form?
>>
Life extension by a few hundred years and immunity from sickness/aging is a sexy deal I'd take in a heatbeat, but most people don't actually think about all the problems of true immortality like the Hourai.
There's a reason why letting their mental acquity completely decay so they no longer need to bother thinking or just literally going to sleep for the forseeable eternity is a common course of action for true immortals in fiction.
>>
Can we, like, talk about Dracostrikes instead? Turning Kushinada's into a combat character? Maybe translating storyline instead?

Took me an hour to find this because I was trying to figure out if there's an equivalent of CHARANUM with maps and locations
I guess I'm gonna have to yanderedev this shit
>>
>>50990233
Personally, I'm impressed by your UI.

>I guess I'm gonna have to yanderedev this shit
There's a joke to be made there.
"So ruin it?"
"You mean unyanderedev right?"
>>
>>50990234
>Personally, I'm impressed by your UI.
I can't afford a second monitor desu

Anyway it means that I'm gonna have a switch case or if else conditionals to check for every single map and location for this extremely stupid, overambitious dialogue
Also I think it would be a good idea to give a comment or have a separate file with the translated name and IDs for the maps and locations, hopefully it will assist in productivity
>>
>>50988321
>Where would be the best location to place all the flags, functions, variables, and whatever? In her dialogue folder?
Most commonly you'll see them explained as comments in the "Event" file at the very top, the extra events that don't match the template would go to another file. I think it's more about readability than performance, but don't quote me on that
In general you'd only want changes to files outside your dialogue's folder in very specific circumstances: Kokoro has her own unique interaction lines to accommodate the gimmick of the masks being her expressions, those had to be done in their native file. Also any extra resources go to their folder, but that's not text either

>>50990475
Proof of concept for a dialogue that is influenced by location or characters that are currently present
>>
>>50990479
Hm, but you do realize that characters will very often visit the player's home area, too, right? Like it's very likely that you'll have Sanae sprint over to the room you just spawned in on day 1 to greet you, mere seconds into the playthrough proper. Or corner you in a very random spot like the pantry in Chireiden for example.
I hope you don't intend to write dialogue for every single spot in the game. Or at least not right away. Don't get me wrong, that sounds amazing and all, but I'm kinda worried that you'll burn yourself out if you follow through with this.
>>
>>50990493
Probably not right away, but it's probably a good idea to have the system semi-functional beforehand
I'll probably start with dialogues specific to the current MAIN_MAP location instead of specific room/spot, which might not even be needed at all

Whos to say it has to? I have a harem of immortal and incredibly powerful women, we can figure something out.

you can add any trait you want if you enable debug mode desu, but the legal way is to be full autistic and cuck teruyo right in front of her, multiple times.

it moves an invisible progress bar further until she decides to drug you with the elixir

the parsee author is hyperautist and adds a remark for hourai individuals in a relationship with her

In ShinEraTenseiP, It seems like you can only summon 1 Persona from a demon/god. If you are trying to farm "Persona growth card", you should do these:

1. Making a demon with good skills at base level by fusing (It needs to have Megido/Megidola/Megidolaon & "Mana Aid" & "Mana Surge".).

2. Registering that demon/god in the Compendium for easy summon.

3.Turn that demon/god into a Persona and give it to a Persona user to use it.

4. Use its "Megido/Megidolaon" until it has 1000 exp & Rank 10.

5. Take it back from the Persona user and release it back to the "Sea of Unconsciousness" from the "Velvet Room" to get "Persona growth card".

Repeat steps 3-5 until you have enough cards.

You should try using the copilot plugin, most models are surprisingly capable of navigating erabasic code.

I'm slowly reading, copying, and redocumenting the dialogue functionalities for myself so that I can have a better understanding compared to if I just wend ahead to blindly copy things
The amount of different things that the player can write a dialogue is simply staggering, truly a labor of love, even for characters with a smaller dialogue count
From what I've can see so far, I feel like it's not impossible to keep dialogue logic separated from the actual dialogue that will be printed out, having them be CALLed from another file to make it easier for people who just wishes to write

I wasn't specific enough, but I meant github copilot, not microsoft copilot. They're completely different things and only the former is a vscode plugin (it even ships with vscode by default).

My bad then. Fair enough.
