Post by: cuc on March 09, 2013, 01:19:16 PM: Anyone going to try now? You only have to download the new th_kaikeidou.exe and dat.dxa files.

Post by: Validon98 on March 09, 2013, 01:59:33 PM: What? A new stage... Well this seems interesting. I hope I don't have to beat Extra to play it...

Post by: Bang Jan on March 09, 2013, 02:20:17 PM: I'm pretty certain you do. :V

Post by: Validon98 on March 09, 2013, 02:27:57 PM: I just checked and you do. Damn it!
This is going to suck... Otohime's one of the more difficult Extra bosses in my opinion. And that's not even covering the stage portion itself...

Post by: cuc on March 09, 2013, 02:46:53 PM: Yeah, you must beat Extra first.

Post by: BT on March 09, 2013, 02:59:42 PM: This version lags once in a few seconds and the font is all gibberish. It's weird but mostly unplayable.
Title: Re: Marine Benefit updated with new stage: Stage Omniverse.
Post by: PMW on March 09, 2013, 03:33:42 PM: Aside from the new stage that I haven't tried, and the gibberish + random lag, there also seem to be slight changes to some patterns. Played a practice stage 6 run and I noticed that there was a little ring of bullets added to Mikoto's 3rd nonspell, the safespot on Mikoto's last spell is gone (Big Fairies spawn from the sides and shoot aimed bubbles at you), Fairies are a lot easier to kill on the first 3 spells, and they may have made the first nonspell doable, though that probably was just luck on my side.

I'll play some more to check for more changes.

Edit: There's a life limit now, no more infinilives :V

Megumi's midboss spell now shoots 3 arrowheads per white bubble instead of 2, and the survival spell has way less sudden phase changes. making it way easier imo.

The stage 3 midboss now has a different cut-in, and the bubble fairies on stage 3 now also shoot purple bullets

Post by: Jaimers on March 09, 2013, 07:22:29 PM: These just look like last words to me.
The ones from the final boss and the extra boss remain locked for me for some reason.

Also the way to fix the random lag is to play the game in Japanese locale, either through system config or Applocale. Doesn't fix the gibberish though.

Post by: Hinacle on March 09, 2013, 08:03:00 PM: Sorry for asking this but, can anyone make a video of the new stage. I'm not good enough to beat the Extra Stage yet.
Title: Re: Marine Benefit updated with new stage: Stage Omniverse.
Post by: Bang Jan on March 09, 2013, 09:20:25 PM: Just tried Sanae's extra and it appears that the last phase of the non-Gathering Void spellcard has changed.

Sure. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eWgjY-hvvs)

It's just a bunch of pretty easy Last Words, I didn't even edit the video.
I have no idea how to unlock the last two.

Post by: Shizzo on March 09, 2013, 09:40:02 PM: They seem pretty interesting if you ask me. Oh and by the way Jaimers, Megumi has different spellcards for Sanae and Marisa as well. From what I've seen Sanae's seems like the most interesting of all, but then again I guess having freaky shottypes and weird spellcards are her gimmick in this game, heh.

lol what is even going on in these.

I assumed Marisa's was a timeout card but apparently it wasn't. :V

I managed to capture Marisa's. Megumi's lifebar is hilariously tiny in that one, it takes literally less than two seconds to deplete it. Plus she stops shooting when you get close.

Sanae's though...just ugh. I get the way it works, but there's no way I can really read that. It's a complete mindfuck.

I captured Sanae's at 20 FPS just so the game would think I captured all of them, since I have all the others legitimately. I wanted to see if that was how Mikoto's and Otohime's were unlocked. It wasn't.

Edit: Just captured it legitimately, so that rules out slowdown in the captures too.

Significant edit: So I noticed that for some strange reason, unlike in Jaimers' video, the text in my game's Omniverse thing actually isn't gibberish, it's Japanese.

So I made a bunch of screencaps, so hopefully the names will get translated and even more hopefully there'll be a clue in there somewhere about how to get the last two. Use however you want.

(note: I included portraits at the beginning of the attack since it's probably a lot easier to see the name when it's not obscured by bullets)

Post by: Karisa on March 10, 2013, 05:46:52 AM: It seems someone's already translated them. (http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Marine_Benefit/Spell_Cards/Omniverse) No idea where the names for the last six came from.

Also Malkyrian, why does your Photobucket profile say "Joe Richman (http://s941.beta.photobucket.com/user/Malkyrian/profile/)"? That doesn't look very non-male to me...
Title: Re: Marine Benefit updated with new stage: Stage Omniverse.
Post by: Mesarthim on March 10, 2013, 06:25:15 AM: Well I've already cleared extra for all the shot types I care about (honestly Sanae's shottypes for me are :V how do you even see bullets using the third type...

Cleared three of these. Seems alright so far.
Title: Re: Marine Benefit updated with new stage: Stage Omniverse.
Post by: Arcorann on March 10, 2013, 07:10:30 AM: The names were all posted on the official site's list of spell cards when the new update was first released. Mikoto's and Otohime's spell cards haven't been inserted yet, which is why you can't access them.

Regarding the gibberish, it's definitely some sort of encoding problem. If AppLocale doesn't work, perhaps try changing the system locale and rebooting.

Oof. That was from when I was pretending to be male online so I'd avoid the bullshit openly female people online have to put up with, a phase I'm not proud of in retrospect.

I thought I'd gotten rid of all those, but I guess I missed one. :fail:

Post by: Goldom on March 10, 2013, 08:20:05 PM: Anyone who has trouble, don't forget that this server likes to drop connections during download, so if your file sizes don't match the promised size at beginning of dl, do it over again. I'm getting new version now... hopefully it'll work better on my PC that can't run the old version without breaking the other PC that can run it.

Well on this (could run it) PC, with AppLocale (changing locale in Win8 causes issues unlike 7 where I can leave it on Jpn all the time), text is messed, but it seems to run okay. It also runs smoothly in fullscreen now, whereas before it would get 40fps even in the menu. But when in fullscreen it doesn't show the backgrounds now, so I still have to use window anyway. Will try other PC which couldn't and is Japanese locale tomorrow.

Update: I get 60fps on my other PC now too! I didn't try a whole game, but previously it would lag any time more than 5 fairies were on screen, and no longer. Text also works properly in true Japanese locale.

Post by: Mino ☆ on March 11, 2013, 03:17:28 PM: I tried this patch. All I can say is, I'm absolutely in love with Kasumi's Omniverse, even if the trick is simple once you learn it.

Also, Megumi's Omniverse with Marisa made me laugh slightly.

Can't wait to see what Mikoto's and Otohime's Omniverses are like.
