You could just go to the translator's site and get the fixed scripts and exe. It's what I did.

http://e17time.blogspot.com/

But apparently they expect you to DIY, which is a problem for players who don't care to do research. Anyway, a summary of what to do with the scripts.
1) Decompile/extract the nss.npa using "nipa2.exe" to get nss folder
2) Extract the fix scripts.rar you downloaded. You will see that they are .txt and .scr
3) Use a tool called "nsbcreate.exe" and you will be able to assemble the txt+scr into nsb+map
4) Copy and overwrite these new fixed files into the nss folder
5) Create a new nss.npa with your updated nss folder using "nipa2.exe"

If you still didn't understand the above instructions, then you should probably wait for the official patch.

i'll do just that then =___=
thanks for trying to explain it though

I'll be uploading it to MU once the full patch is out. Just can't be bothered when it's not complete yet.

Speaking of which, I have both Fileserve and MU. Well, no need to use both.

The off topic posts were moved to "Boohoo, everyone has to answer to all my whims or I will throw a fit". The reasoning behind it can be read here and if anyone insists on complaining about the same thing on this or another thread, I'll just move the posts to that thread or delete them if they consist only of "why no megaupload?".

sazabi

lol, it actually was off topic enough to get its own thread

'hayou people.
Been kinda busy lately but anyway, I thought I would leave instructions on how to properly patch the VN for now thus to avoid some crashes that I've had due to neglect (Especially around chapter 2). Just to avoid to have to research and all.

1. Download and Install the game, I won't bother explaining this part.
2. Download and Patch to 1.20. It can be found there : [MU] - [MF]
3. Download and Extract the English Patch in the folder where you installed the game, overwriting the nss.npa file. [MU] - [MF]
4. Download the subtitled movies files and extract it into the game folder, overwrite everything. [MF]
*- And now, you can go play the game right away by starting "STEINSGATE-patched.exe" if you want. The rest is optional. -*
5. Now download nipa2 at the following link(s) and extract it where you installed Steins;Gate : [MU] - [MF]
6. Go in Start and click on "Run..." and enter "cmd" in. A Command Prompt window should pop up : [IMG]
7. Type "cd .." twice to reach your hard-disk root. (Default being C:/) And then make your way to where your game folder is.
Personally, mine is installed in "C:/Program Files (x86)/NitroPlus/STEINS;GATE" which would be the default folder.
To get there, you simply type in (caps are important here) : "cd Program Files (x86)/NitroPlus/STEINS;GATE" - [IMG]
8. Now time to decompile. Simply type in "nipa2.exe -x cg.npa" and wait for everything to decompile. [IMG]
9. You should now have a new "cg" folder where you installed the game. Go and download the tl'd sys images. [MF]
10. Extract the "sys" folder in cg.rar inside "cg - Copy (2)" into the cg folder.  Overwrite everything. (That's kinda confusing)
11. Go back to the CMD Prompt and enter "nipa2.exe -c cg cg.npa" and wait for it to recompile. [IMG]

And now, you're done. Almost everything minus the Tips scripts and a few other images should be in english now.
You can start the game in by starting "STEINSGATE-patched.exe" Enjoy~
Oh and feel free to delete the cg folder after compiling, it takes 500~ MBs and is now useless.

Also, for the cg folder, you can also just download it somewhere but you still have to compile it after, way to waste 500 MBs.
Edit : After evaluation, yes, you can just download the cg.npa and overwrite it if wanted, but a 500mb that we only translate a mere 20 mbs of when we can do it much faster? Pointless.

Anyway, hope that's gonna help some people though it is somewhat confusing. Well, off to study.

Will consider to upload the game to MF.
Compressing at the moment and will start Uploading soon. Should be up by tomorrow.

EDIT : Mediafire seems to jerking on me, I'll be uploading it to Megaupload in 12 Parts (200 MB each) until MF stop being a jerk.
In a way, that's useful. Making the files interchangeable between MU and MF.


EDIT 2 :
Well, for some reason my upload speed was boosted today;

Megaupload Links :

Note : I had problems with this, MU automatically renamed everything to "Stein"
So I had to rename each of them precisely to their corresponding numbers, I think I got
all of them right but please do tell me if it doesn't work and thanks to whoever take the risk.

Part 01 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=M773Q9II
Part 02 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7CI9BVZS
Part 03 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KAO3SEBR
Part 04 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LCX4NB8W
Part 05 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LT9737R1
Part 06 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MJUI8QTU
Part 07 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=48H8LRX0
Part 08 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JGLT4B7E
Part 09 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8IBVP4TX
Part 10 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V99YTZPJ
Part 11 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OXONP866
Part 12 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AM58HIKK

Mediafire Folder : http://www.mediafire.com/?3xw5z0am6ykfo
Also everything needed in my earlier instructions are included in the Patch Files folder.

Anyway, both of those should be interchangeable so you can download parts 1 to 6 of MU and
download 7 to 12 from MF and it should still work. It help when you reach dl limit on MU or a part
on either side is dead(or is "temporarily unavailable" on MU).

saihamaru

thanks for such a detailed step by step tutorial, even though i can only understand up to step 4 XD
+rep to you if i could :p

Ah, Thanks you. xD

But really it is actually extremely simple, I didn't knew half of all that until I did a bits of research.
If needed I don't mind doing a video either or I could even do an actually fully imaged tutorial. Your call people !

Actually, I could even put more details into those instructions.
As far I know, not everyone have "Run.." on their start menu automatically.

.. Now I really feel like making that video. /gets it done.
EDIT :
It is a one-shot recording and is unedited but the annotations should really do the whole job.

EDIT 2 : Woah, I didn't expect a rewrite rule for videos there.
I have way too much free time once I'm not busy. @_@

saihamaru

well, aren't you one thorough person XD
*haven't watched the video because my internet is too slow at office
i'll try it once i get home

Yo ! Forum finally allowed me to register back. (I do better get 5 posts quickly, that verification is .. quite harsh on the eyes)
Anyhow, I've coded up this quick .bat file to make patching and de/recompilling easier and faster :

*Links removed, see bottom of this post.

Simply double-click on Auto-Patch.bat and the script will run, patching everything on the way.

I tested it out on Windows 7 x64, installed in Program Files (x86) and everything worked flawlessly from beginning to end. (Yes, I did replay the whole game to see.)
Then again, this really is just all the manual work compressed in one file to automate everything, aka not much difference.

I'll be looking into that Cosplay Patch, which will require more hard work than this.. probably.
Blanchimont, I might ask you a few things, and inspire myself a bit of your C;H's Work. =P

As for the tips and everything, unless someone beg the Editor to give them the edited CGs, will have to wait until official patch is out.

Edit : Updated to V.0.1a, no big differences, only made it so the decompilled CG Folder is deleted after recompillation. *above links updated*
Cosplay Patch is taking a horrible time to download..

Notice : I apparently misunderstood something someone said about the phone menus and e-mail, thus regarding steps 4+, they're still completely optional after all. Well, I'm not saying anything anymore until I test it myself.

Edit : Updated to V.0.2, I got the Cosplay Patch to work with.. barely any work at all. In fact, all I did was input the right .npa files in the root folder then proceeded to input 2106 at the right moment and everything worked. I only tested it for 10 minutes after, so maybe there will be a problem somewhere, but it seems to be working for now. Uploading, now in 2 parts for MF. Also, my bad, I did something wrong with the .bat script and the movies were not subtitled at all in V.0.1 & V.0.1a. :X

(I keep forgetting to fix the tl's blog in the readme..)

Edit : Uploaded to MF :

Automated 1.20 Update, Unedited English Patch + Cosplay Patch V.0.2a---
MF Folder - Part 1 - Part 2
(This 7z contains 1.20 Patch, Subtitled Movies, Unedited En. Tl, the edited config images and the Cosplay Patch*)
*Instructions for how to get the cosplay patch activated are included in the readme.

If you're not interested in the Cosplay Patch, feel free to use those links :

Automated 1.20 Update and Unedited English Patch V.0.1a---
Megaupload (7z) - Mediafire (7z)
(This 7z contains 1.20 Patch, Non-Subtitled Movies*, Unedited En. Tl and the edited config images)
edit: (Small error in the readme's credits, TL's Blog is http://e17time.blogspot.com/ not a youtube video~)
*Will be fixed in a future upload.

If you don't wanna wait for the upload and do care about the movies being subtitled in english, read below.
(I say might as well do it, they're quite interesting and you'll have downloaded an extra 150 MBs for nothing otherwise.)

Easy Way :
  Drop the dx folder in Translations to the root of your S;G's folder and overwrite.

Hard Way :
  Open AutoPatch.bat in notepad, replace the code with the one below, and start it :
 
@echo off
REM V.0.2 |
REM This must be run from the Auto-Patch folder
REM And the Auto-Patch folder itself must be in the S;G's Root Folder.
REM Steins;Gate's Automated Patch to 1.20 and Unedited English + Cosplay Patch
REM This was only tested under Windows 7 x64 with the game installed under Program Files (x86)
REM and it is working perfectly fine from beginning to end.
REM Don't forget to put your computer on japanese locale !

REM Cosplay Patch not included, boo

   REM Updating to 1.20..
   cd 120Update
   copy /y *.* "../../"
   REM Done!

   REM Now patching to unedited english localization..
   cd ../Translations
   copy /y STEINSGATE-patched.exe "../../"
   copy /y nss.npa "../../"
   REM Done!

   REM Now overwritting with subtitled movies.
   cd ../../dx
   xcopy "../Auto-Patch/Translations/dx" /e /y
   REM Done!

   REM Now starting decompiling CG Files
   cd ../Auto-Patch
   nipa2 -x "../cg.npa" "cg"
   
   REM Now patching system files
   cd cg
   xcopy "../Translations/cg" /e /y
   
   REM Now recompilizing CG files
   cd ..
   nipa2 -c cg "../cg.npa"
   
   REM Silently delete the decompiled CG Files.
   rd /s /q "cg"
   
   REM The game is patched!
   echo.
   echo Steins;Gate have now been translated to English succesfully !
   echo The cosplay patch also have been input !
   pause

   REM Well that was easy. I should update that for if people only want to update one thing, etc though.


Note : This is ridiculous how simple this is, isn't it ? The thing is that S;G's Engine seems to be much more simple than C;H's.. I call it more open-minded for some reason. Anyway, I'll try to make up a real one-click installer and make it possible to choose if want Cosplay Patch or not, movies subtitles, etc. Should be more interesting for me to code up too. Also, if anyone have any tips to make things better.. say it, anything is welcome, especially since this is the first time I code in .bat (or code in general in a long time) =P

Edit : Ops, I had failed the code a bit. (I removed the english translation part by accident) fixed now, and reuploaded ! also fixed above code to include it.
