Hinokakera 3.01a Fragment Eclipse with P2P NetPlay (!!)

[DarkNecrid]

Okay Hinokakera 3.00 is available for download. This game is really really good and we should hype it up.

Here is the link to download the game: http://files.filefront.com/hinokakera+v300zip/;9997139;/fileinfo.html

So let's get a postin! But in the mean time...here's some vids:

Okay well that's all I have for now. I'll be posting my own combo vids and stuff later.

This game has a lot of potential, so let's see where it goes...

And this will probably answer any questions u may have:

Nekich's Awesome Hinokakera 3.01a Ver:1.0 guide!!!
http://neoseeker.com/resourcelink.html?rlid=165143

Alright, thanks to SRK's 4649 I have been advised that there's an important patch for this game:

3.01a ( http://www.badongo.com/file/8571615 )

IRC Information: (Thanks to SRK Spooty)

Room: #fragments
On The Server: irc.rizon.net

NetPlay Tutorial: (Special Thanks to Spooty for reminding me of my scrubbiness...LMAO and to Nekich for his awesome Strategy Guide...again that can be downloaded at the link above)

Since version 2.02, Hinokakera has a peer-to-peer netplay mode, made into a
separate "netvs" executable. Before running it, right-click on the file and
select "Properties". There, open a second tab and enable Win2000 compatibility
mode, then click "Ok". Without this, the application won't run on XP and Vista
systems. Also, to prevent a possible desynchronization, make sure you and your
opponent have the same graphics/sound settings in "config.exe".

Netpay window itself is self-explanatory - type your nickname into the
"Name" field and select to be either "server" or "client".
To host an Internet game, an external IP-address and an open port are
required (LAN games maybe hosted with internal IPs and closed ports). Enter
both of them and select the desired framerate. Do note, that 60FPS will
probably work only in a LAN game. Since there are no chat fucntions or lobbys,
you will have to give the 2nd player your IP and port numbers and the press
"Wait". Netvs will report a successful connection. Afterwards, simply press
"Start".
Client, aside from IP/port numbers doesn't need anything else to connect.

Notes about netplay:
- Host is always the 1st player, client - 2nd;
- Regardless of the player being a host or a client, netplay will use 1st
player controls;
- Once started, the game runs and looks as usual, except some menus are
disabled;
- Both players can navigate through menus simultaneously (causing much
confusion);
- Both sides load their own save files. This may result in players seeing
different character colours in-game (happens when one of them selects 4th
colour not yet unlocked by his or her opponent).

Happy Gaming...[/quote]

[Demon Dash]

Wow, looks cool...

[MiLky]

I messed around with it for a few minutes in practice mode, seems ok I guess. Is there a way to get out of the juggles? If not, most characters have infinites.

[DarkNecrid]

Really? I think you can recover after hits but thats about it.

Also the blonde chick with the sabre is HORRIBLE. The best combo I did was 11 hits for 2000 damage. WTF.

[roninwarrior24]

I messed around with it for a few minutes in practice mode, seems ok I guess. Is there a way to get out of the juggles? If not, most characters have infinites.

I was thinking the same thing. I was playing Raven and pretty much all I would do in practice is ->B-launch-A,B,C-A-A,B,C-repeat. I know he's not the only character with a "combo" like this.

BTW, how's Raven strategy-wise? He seems alright to me, but I suck at "tiering".

EDIT: The combo is this...

->B (launches)-A,B,C, (land on ground) A, (jump up) A,B,C, repeat.

Although Milky's video explains this well enough...

[DarkNecrid]

I just tried to do that and it did not work? Could you take a video of it or something.

The closest I got was 9 hits ;P

[Shin Touyokouzan]

Yeah I have this game. I actually wanna try playing it some. It has online play too. Of course I play Aya <3

[DarkNecrid]

Added a prototype tier list.

[Shin Touyokouzan]

how is aya top? mind providing explainatio for those choices?

[Strider2k2]

Hot looking game....i like, i like

[MiLky]

They are not infinites, you can break out of them. I tested them against the AI.

Here is a short example of one of the loops we were talking about, though they are worthless with the bounce out of juggle thing.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5463169902598944982

[DarkNecrid]

"how is aya top? mind providing explainatio for those choices?"

Great supers (which have some decent combos), good damage, she can combo her throw into her QCB+B, and some other random stuff. Shes pretty good. I pretty much just put her as Top because of how good she is, not compared to any other fighters data wise. She's probably top middle / middle.

Aronia though...

With max energy guage you can deal an easy ~6000 damage combo with like no effort with her @_@

[Shin Touyokouzan]

How the fuck do you play online on this shit?

[Master Chibi]

Man SRK is on one hell of a doji fighter kick.

[evilmuffinmanX]

1st furries,then nazi, and now this?!

whats next? :looney:

[Shin Touyokouzan]

Frogs... Dont you know?

[bellreisa]

SRK isn't playing IaMP. :V

[Shin Touyokouzan]

SRK isn't playing IaMP. :V

I wanna learn how to play that shit. That game is mad fun. I wanna pick up the chick with the sword. Dont remember her name though.

[bellreisa]

The wiki: http://iamp.mizuumi.net

#iamp on irc.pyoko.org for matches and chat.

And enough thread hijacking from me; Hinokakera's alright, but I'm not big on the 2.5D genre so I never fully got into it. If it gets a decent netplay I would probably try it.

[DarkNecrid]

It has really smooth netplay when you are within the same state.

[bellreisa]

Most of my IaMP opponents are from places like Japan, Brazil, Peru, Canada... :V I know maybe two people in the same state that plays it.

[Shin Touyokouzan]

Most of my IaMP opponents are from places like Japan, Brazil, Peru, Canada... :V I know maybe two people in the same state that plays it.

How is the connection with people like that?

[bellreisa]

Playable, but not optimal. Depending on how the connection is you get 56-63 fps and slightly delayed input. One thing I've learned from playing Japanese players is that sound tactics will more than compensate for dropped execution due to lag, though.

[1/2Man1/2God]

cool i watched the youtube video...the game looks really cool!

[Biolink]

Game looks nice.Would be really nice if it reached a Melty Blood type of popularity level and went to the Ps2.Just can't get down with Computer games.

[DarkNecrid]

Yeah if it was on PS2 it would be great.

[Strider2k2]

Does anybody know how to get the Netplay to work?:confused:

[Shin Touyokouzan]

Does anybody know how to get the Netplay to work?:confused:

Ive been wondering that for a while now lol

[Biolink]

Can anyone rehost the download link and patches?The actual game download on the first post has expired and I am getting tired of watching the video's and not being able to do anything :wgrin:

[BKB]

Battle Arena Toshinden?

[DarkNecrid]

Here's a really good video for those who haven't seen it yet:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roEaRld0zAg

Also:
For netplay, both of you must have the following configuarion (except for keys) :
(Sound and BGM might work on, but it might lower your FPS and cause you to DS)

http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/9696/hinokakeraha9.jpg

Then just run netvs and crap and connect to someone you are wanting to play with.

[MiyagiShin X]

So basically NetPlay is crap ...

I may try this game sooner or later.... So many doujin fighters to play though...

I play IaMP, i still wish there was decent netplay on these games. EFZ just came out with a patch but its no better then before...

you need to get raped by me in Monster you son of a bitch >;]

[bloodriot]

wow, awesome stuff like kung fu hustle meets dbz crazy, crazy

nobody has another dl link I registered but they never get back to me :( , please

[bloodriot]

damn I dl it but I can't get it too work, I even used the MS locale app,

Fatal Fake is a JPN game and it works if I set my language and code to JPN but this damn game won't work? the zip tested fine no corruption...

any help?

[MiyagiShin X]

Fatal Fake is not that great...

In fact the 2d one is better and thats not sayin gmuch for those 2 doujin games.

[bloodriot]

we'yell at least it works, :(

[Kayin]

Fatal/Fake is hella underrated.

Anyways, this game looks pretty awesome, I'll have to DL this sometime.

[bloodriot]

yeah it's awesome it has some top notch graphical effects, really awesome to look at, I think it may be really broken though, wonder if they've patched it or added new charas by now

[bloodriot]

Fatal Fake is probably my fav Doujin Fighter, awesome grafix, just awesome.

[Shin Touyokouzan]

Fatal Fake is probably my fav Doujin Fighter, awesome grafix, just awesome.

Agreed

[Matarick]

Dang, I am still waiting for Hendane (http://www.hendane.com/) to be back up since that's where I got my Melty Blood from.

[nekich]

Um, i hope i won't get smacked for reviving this.

Anyways, Hinokakera v3.00 went on sale and there's a new trial at the website (usual stuff with 4 characters and a couple of stages). And i wonder if it'll gain any more popularity over here (too bad the game still uses the same, 4 year old engine). Or, at least, i hope to get opinions on what's right and what's wrong with this new version from those who play fightings more or less seriously.

[digimonemporer]

I have the game and it's fucking awesome!!! Okay so ver. 3.0 is a demo or is it a new update that's complete? Where can I download the patch?

[Hayama Akito]

New complete update, no patches.

[nekich]

Why in the world did he has to put all the audio in wave format (~550Mb) and make it all load on game's startup is beyond my comprehension.

[digimonemporer]

New complete update, no patches.

where do we download this from?

[ShinjiGohan]

and people complain about EX having too many flashy lights... anyway it looks good for stupid fun if nothing else.

[nekich]

Ah yes, gorgeous legs.

Okay Hinokakera 3.00 is available for download. But I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post a link so if u want, I could privately upload it for download. Just PM me. But this game is really really good and we should hype it up.

So let's get a postin....

To host an Internet game, an external IP-address and an open port are
required (LAN games maybe hosted with internal IPs and closed ports). Enter
both of them and select the desired framerate. Do note, that 60FPS will

Happy Gaming...

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

yes!

[digimonemporer]

So how does everyone suppose we hype this up. I am interested in getting some feed back of what u guys think of the game. Some of yous may be totally new to this.

I personally think it has a better engine than Fatal Fake. I like how different Assault and Technical grooves are in terms of options they provide from gameplay. Max ougi is incredible and takes mad damage. But u need to be 100% MAX'ed. And Max supers can be blocked so that's coo. Also if u do MAX super in the middle of combos it's toned down a tad...and I mean "a tad"...lol.

No two characters in this game are the same...well except Aya/ Aya-Immortal...lol! So that's always a +.

This game get's a 8 out of 10.

[mcginnis]

Does this have an online mode? Online is about the only way for me to play any comp. in my area. :sad:

[4649]

This game looks sick!
Going to be using Ashley, she's just too gangster. I'll post some impressions in a bit

[kmasera]

i watch one of the match videos for two seconds and it turns into HURRR COMBO COMBO COMBO GUILTY GEAR

[Hatred Edge]

If we get some online matches y'all bout to be raped by Raven!:nunchuck:

[Spooty Whiteboy]

So how does everyone suppose we hype this up?

First and foremost. Add that the game has P2P NETPLAY in the first post. This will attact many more people. Just add a whole section with a bolded/colored heading so that people with see that it has netplay. And give a little netplay FAQ in that section.

Secondly, IRC channel. Doesn't matter if you join up with another doujin fighter online channel or something. Just have a place where people can meet to set up games.

[4649]

i can't get the game to work ;_;

also, digimonemp, the version you linked to is missing two patches, 3.01 - ( http://www.mediafire.com/?zui000sefny ) and 3.01a ( http://www.badongo.com/file/8571615 )

applying them now to see if i can actually get this damn thing running.......

there's also a nice forum for Hinokakera here:
http://unlimitedbrake.smf-free.com/index.php

[digimonemporer]

oh so this game DOES have net play, I didn't know that. Nor did I know about the patches. Thanks for the info u guys.

4649: Are u still having problems getting your game to work? U might have to check the compatibility.

Spooty (LOL @ screen name): I will get right on that...as soon as I up date my game as well...LOL!

But I do have one question:

If I were to set up an IRC channel. Would I need to stay on it for it to be available for public to access? I never ran a channel before...:confused:

[digimonemporer]

Okay first post updated. Still unsure how to work NetPlay and Set Up IRC room...LOL, I'm such a noob. If anyone has any info on both please lemme know.

[Spooty Whiteboy]

oh so this game DOES have net play, I didn't know that.
Okay first post updated. Still unsure how to work NetPlay.

There is a Netplay section in Nekich's FAQ. I thought you read the awesome thing.

Apparently, the people on that forum 4649 posted are using the following IRC channel for netplay:

room: #fragments
on the server: irc.rizon.net

[digimonemporer]

There is a Netplay section in Nekich's FAQ. I thought you read the awesome thing.

Got me, I skimmed through it...I though I mentioned I was such a noob...LOL! :rofl:

I think I got some reading to do...please excuse me...:wonder:

[digimonemporer]

The first post if updated yet again. I think the next update should be of match replays/videos between us SRK hypes...LMAO!!!

[kasuma]

Oh man I am so happy!

Now I have been promoted from a v1.1 player to a 3.01 king thx for the link digimonemporer.
"Now it's time to play the GAME" - for me.
It preatty cool and there are great differences form the 1.1 version. At the first sigh.

Sorry for miss spelling and grammar when there are some. I am not to good in English yet, but I want to join to this discussion abaut this GAME.

[digimonemporer]

Most def man. Thanks for being interested. When u are ready hit me up on aim or post here so we can get some matches in via NetPlay.

[Hatred Edge]

Alright. I'm gonna set up netplay this weekend. I need to get in some practice first.

Train up Webster!

[digimonemporer]

Well then...I guess I have something to do this weekend after all...:badboy:

[Hatred Edge]

We'll see. You're not ready for my Raven. Keep your nights free this weekend. I'll be up until 2 am...

Gotta take 3 match exams this week and I have a paper due in 1:15 mins and another due tomorrow morning and a powerpoint project due at 11 am.

[digimonemporer]

u got aim? I'm on now. aim = devildigimon

I play Raven as well...but I main Kasumi and Celes.

[Hatred Edge]

I'm on.

Bloodkazuya16....

[Sabin]

Did this really need another thread?
I understand the hype and all but there is a hinokera thread already. im going to merge the 2 and change 1st post topic

[digimonemporer]

Thanks Sabin!!!!

But is it possible u could make my post first (post #66)? Because it has all the correct information with updates, vids, and etc.

Don't want the viewer to download anything unnecessary. I would ask the person that started this thread, but that person hasn't participated in this thread in quite some time.

[fallot]

The filefront link in the OP isn't working. Is it correct?

Edit: Thanks digimonemporer.

[digimonemporer]

No that link isn't correct. Please refer to post #66 in this thread.

A mod will be changing the Opening Post (1st Post) soon. :wonder:

[digimonemporer]

Bump and remember everyone...refer to post #66 for current updates. Hopefully the mods will change the info on the first post.

[Hisham]

I got everything needed, it seems like a cool fighter.

I sorta prefer Fatal/Fake tho, but this has netplay, so that is a plus.

[Tiggy]

This game is LOLZ

I had fun the little I played it, but the one character, Celestes I think (the guy in all green)....UGH, talk about turtle-friendly. That guy is so irritating once he gets distance on you.

I'll probably do netplay after I get it set up and practice a little more.

[Hayama Akito]

So how is the online? is good like Akatsuki and Monster? or it got some laggy issues?

[Sabin]

i changed 1st post info

[nekich]

So how is the online? is good like Akatsuki and Monster? or it got some laggy issues?
Don't expect A:BK level of netplay. HK's client is quite promitive in fact.

[digimonemporer]

Thanks Sabin much appreciated, seriously!!!

And yea Hinokakera is better played in person than online (I tried playing vs. Spooty and he lives in NC. and the lag was horrible, going at only 6 - 8 fps). But if u really don't have anyone to play vs., than the computer could provide enough challenge.

Nekich:
Is there any way to convert these replay files to AVI or MPEG format so I can upload vids or something?

[Spooty Whiteboy]

Is there any way to convert these replay files to AVI or MPEG format so I can upload vids or something?

Why don't you FRAPS it?

[digimonemporer]

Never heard of that...what is it?

[Spooty Whiteboy]

FRAPS is a program used to record shit on your screen, such as a replay of a fighting game.

[digimonemporer]

Yea and it's terrible. I downloaded it this morning and was working with it. And when I tried to record stuff, it forced the game to go at a slower speed. Running without Fraps at 60 fps and then with it in record at 30 fps or less. Lame!!!

And I tried every setting to make the game run smoother while Fraps was recording and got nothing.

Is there something I'm NOT doing right?

[Hatred Edge]

WHAT? The lag is that bad? Shit. I really wanted to have some matches too... This sucks.

[digimonemporer]

Oh hell nah, the rule is lag is great until proven otherwise amongst who u want to play vs. So we are still going to TRY to play this weekend...kneegrow....:lovin:!!!

[Clear Sky]

Looks like I have to give this game a chance again. I'm impressed with what I've seen so far of 3.01a.

[kasuma]

Cool game but sometimes I got some problems in the story mode.
At some places it freezes. What to do someone?

[nekich]

Cool game but sometimes I got some problems in the story mode.

It's a known bug. Try to skip through Story mode with Auto-Read on (and 'text speed' set to 10) - if it still crashes, then there's something with your PC or operating system. Likely missing japanese fonts.

What are the system requirements for this game? I'm really bored of all the games right now, so I'm looking for something new. Also, how is the guy with guns in this game? He looks interesting to play.

mashing buttons makes more lag, during netplay

Cool game but sometimes I got some problems in the story mode.
At some places it freezes. What to do someone?

Try using a program called AppLocale. It displays the Japanese text once you start it up. Oh yeah, another thing; you have to start the game up through the configurations icon, not the game icon. It will freeze if you load the game from the Hinokakera icon, even using AppLocale.

Overall, I heard netplay is pretty much unplayable. I haven't even bothered with it yet.

Like before, I'm interested in purchasing the game for the music files, so does anyone know where they actually sell the physical copy of this game? I've looked around, but the only information I could find was that all three Hinokakera "games" were sold commercially, which doesn't help me much.

Also, does anyone know if the music to Hinokakera changes drastically from game to game? I can't tell if the two most recent Hinokakera games are anything more than just minor updates/patches. I'll do some YouTube research on this, but just in case I can't figure it out, there is a slim chance that someone here has actually played all three Hinokakera games. So, it doesn't hurt to ask, right?

Thanks.

The only music files you get are the WAVs in the [music] folder of the game itself. There are no CD Audio tracks, if that's what you're interested in. There is no separate OST either. Nevertheless, i think on HK's homepage there's a list of doujin shops that sell the game.

v1-2 had no changes in music. v3 has all the previous ones + new themes for Ashley, Malakh, K-Aya and a bunch of tracks for the Story mode.

That's exactly what I was looking for, actually, and that's why I had a sudden interest in the game (Heard they were in .wav format elsewhere) . Thanks for the information on the audio differences between the games and the lead on where to purchase the game. It makes my job a lot easier, I think.

How do you play as Ashley ?

[Lackadaisical]

I actually bought the game recently and just "played" through Story mode (on Normal) once and I got Ashley and the evil version of Aya as a reward.

If you can't read Japanese, make sure you have the text speed at the fastest level and the auto read function on when doing Story mode. Otherwise, it's going to be a while before you get Ashley.
