Preset files (for Higurashi)
I can't figure out how Higurashi games know the order for the script files, order for TIP files, order TIPS are unlocked, and the TIP's names. I've come to the conclusion that it's hard coded or something for each chapter. I've created a system called "preset" files. They're just files that list the scripts, tips, tip's names, and tip's unlock order. In order to play in a user friendly way, you need a preset file for each game. Luckily, I've already made preset files for chapters 1 through 4.
When you run the script converter, the correct preset file is put into the game folder based on the script filenames found the StreamingAssets folder. When the StreamingAssets folder is loaded by Higurashi-Vita, it looks for the file StreamingAssets/includedPreset.txt. Inside of includedPreset.txt it the name of the preset file inside of the StreamingAssets folder. For example, a Tatarigoroshi's includedPreset.txt would say Ch3_Tatarigoroshi.txt in it because that is the name of the preset file within the StreamingAssets folder put there by the script converter.
If you want to make your own preset file, the format is written below. After you make the preset file, give it a name and put it in your StreamingAssets folder. An example name would be "myGoodPreset.txt". Inside your StreamingAssets folder, also make a file called "includedPreset.txt". Inside of that file, write the name of your custom preset file that is also inside the StreamingAssets folder. In this example, we would write "myGoodPreset.txt".
TO ENTER A QUOTATION MARK, PUT \"
Use Windows or Unix newlines.
All numbers should be three digits long. If it's not three digits, add zeroes. 001, for example.
The first line is the number of main game script files.
The lines after it are the names of the script files, without the ".txt" extension.
After the last script file's name, put a new line and then put the number of TIP script files.
Write them the same way as you did the chapter files.
After that, write the number of main game script files.
Next, write the number of TIPS that are unlocked AFTER the user finishes the first main game script file.
Next, write the number of TIPS that are unlocked AFTER the user finishes the second main game script file.
Repeat until you have one number for each main game script file.
(The following steps are optional)
Write "tipnames" without quotation marks on its own new line.
Write the number of TIPS.
Write the name of the first TIP.
Write the name of the second TIP.
Continue for all tips.
Write "chapternames" without quotation marks on its own new line
Write number of chapters
Write the name of the first chapter (usually something like Onikakushi day x, or Onikakushi Opening)
Continue for all chapters
Here is an example, chapter 1's preset file. In this example, I put comments. In an actual preset file, you can't have comments. Everything must be just right. THIS PRESET FILE EXAMPLE CONTAINS ONIKAKUSHI's TIP NAMES, BEWARE. Mirror
