Terezi Pyrope: Ace Attorney Development Thread

[Falkorr]

Playing through Case 1, and i'm at the first break i've completed it. When Terezi presents Gracer's photo as evidence, there's a line that's supposed to be said by Terezi that is said by Gracer, albeit with Terezi's quirk. Also, if possible, "HOLD 1T!" for Terezi and making the "FUCK YOU." grey for Karkat like the "Hold it!" (which should probably be capitalised).
Most of these changes are purely cosmetic, to add a more polished/professional feel to it, and i'm sure i'm not the first to bring these up, but that's my two pence.

EDIT: Some more cosmetics, the guards in the Legislacerator's Lobby could/should be changed to trolls instead of humans, and some of the poses for the trolls giving testimony go outside the podium, namely Tavros' wheelchair and, occasionally, Gracer's arm.

EDIT 2: When the time/date/location is typed up in green text, it reads '9th Bilunar Pedigree', where it should read '9th Bilunar Perigee'. Also, some of Gracer's sprites (presumably where he's meant to be snickering or something) look kinda pixelated and glitchy, like they've been resized and lost all the detail.

EDIT 3: I notice that there is a "HOLD 1T!" line for Terezi; it just doesn't always get used, and after the first break, Gracer disappears when he says "NEVER SEEN 'IM ACT SO GODDAMN INSANE." for two screens on pressing for the first testimony after the break on the line about Jousto flipping out.

EDIT 4: When you present some incorrect evidence, and Gamzee is asleep, I end up with a brown box containing writing over the 'top screen' twice during the exchange; once after Terezi asks Gamzee to consider evidence, and again after Terezi complains the second time (after losing all 20 points).

EDIT 5: Once you have used Tavros' Daggerlance and the Crime Scene Photo as evidence and Gamzee asks Gracer to testify once more, what should be an image of Gracer is actually an image of the judge's mallet. (PS: Maybe you should make the hand on that mallet grey.) Also, the title for the testimony '-- THE MOMENT OF DEATH. --' still reads '-- YEAH, I SAW THE MURDER. --' upon cross-examination.

EDIT 6: I'm pretty sure someone else already picked up on this, but when you complete the case and Tavros is declared Not Guilty, the 'Guilty' is partially off the screen and misproportional to the 'Not' so that it overlaps and, due to the screen edge, reads 'Guilt'.

Overall, though, great job! I can't wait for this to be polished up, and for work on the second game to begin!

My aplogies if this has already been pointed out, but when I try to press Tavros's first line of "Uh..." I get this:

Sorry about size, I was playing it like that.

I get this on the occasional line too, usually during pressing, and occasionally when presenting evidence.

So, if yall need more people to do art stuff, I could help out. Is there anything you need done at the moment?

[Acappella]

And I can help with spriting, well, if you need any help, that is. xD Art stuff, too...in general, what do you guys need at the moment? o:

Also, I played the beta, and for some reason the hand with the gavel is still human. Was this fixed yet or is my version just messed up or something? xD There were more bugs and errors, but a lot of people seem to have them covered. I'll play again later and see what I can catch.

in addition to making the hand in the gavel shots grey it'd be pretty cool if you changed the gavel to a warhammer of zillyhoo. not anything to overly fret about, it'd just be a nice touch. all the other issues i had have already been pointed out, good job!
...I'd also be willing to offer some art assistance if need be

Rather than Zillyhoo, a club would make more sense. Zillyhoo is fan service, but the club is canon.

[Quaddy]

Is there a setting so that the text displays all at once instead of pretending to be typed? It gets annoying fairly quickly, especially on the second or third run through a case.

[SomeGuyNamedDavid]

I think that clicking or hitting a key while the text is typing makes it all come up at once.

I made the hand grey for the gavel bang animation. I don't know why it isn't in the game right now. But I assure you it has been done.
I am going back and forth on the Zillyhoo/ gavel. If anyone has input on it, I will definitely take it into consideration when I make the new graphics.

character folder named "vriska" not "Vriska"

Thanks for the help, I use Linux too.
Also,

...issues with Karkat's angry face, so I think there's a whole bunch of case sensitivity issues with the scripts. I can fix them and post a diff.

That's because his Angry(talk).txt shouldn't have a capital 'A' in the filename.

[catharticGrammaticist]

I just tried the beta and it's awesome I guess once everything's smoothed over a bit it'll be really fun to play. Terezi definitely deserves this parody; it's been on the cards since Lemonsnout hung. All I'll say is that sometimes "legislaceration" was spelt wrong, and it's a "perigee" not a "pedigree", but that's literally all I could find to criticise! Sneaky contradictions, btw, they took me a little while :P Well done, guys

[Lolers]

I have found an error!

[Obi1Kaboozie]

Wow. I merely don't have the vocabulary to describe how awesome this is. The writing is excellent and art is wonderful. Great job. I've yet to find any bugs/etc. with it as well. I can't wait for the finished product (along with a few more cases of course. )

[Tronchon]

So this is the thing that made me make an account for this place.
Yes.
Anyway, I'm pretty darned sure most/all of these have been pointed out already, but I don't really have the time (or, as I'm sorry to admit, quite possibly the patience) to read all 49 pages' worth.
Still, I'd like to plop down what I caught and jotted down while playing just in case.

-Vriska's quirk uses a few out of place 8s during the tutorialy explination at the beginning, and that only happens when she's excited (moresotheupsetvariety)... that's a lot of excitement for a trial? I'm not too horribly amazing at Vriska's personality but pointing it out just in case (since she says it's boring at some point?).

-When Terezi says that Tavros's testimony was useless, she has Karkat's full-on capslock rage instead of her numbers

-Gracer is caught with a contradiction in his second testimony, has Terezi's quirk.

-When you press Gracer about Jousto's flipping out, in one line he disappears to reappear a line or two later.

-Trying to present crime scene photo 1 to the end of Gracer's third testimony:
"No macro or markup command valid for-
:normal
scene:'scene11_assholetestimony3.scr-
ipt',line'361'
current game:games/BL1ND JUST1CE/Turnabout Tarurs
Click to continue"
...to be honest, I the way it was placed I wasn't sure if this was an error or just a bit of fun on your part.
But that's just my derping.

-Terezi's E=3 is forgotten very often.

-After Gracer's asked if he's ready to give his last testimony, while Gracer's speaking the gavel is shown until the cross-examination...?

-Some of the exclamations have a discolored border. It's not too big of a deal and is fixed pretty easily to my knowledge but figured I'd plop that here anyway.

-The gavel stops honking and starts banging at the end? Is that an intentional change?

-I know this is just more work and in no way a glitch or mistake, but there's no huge final breakdown animation like every case in the original series. (Then again, I could be wrong. I've only played the first... gosh darn lack of money.) It's not at all NEEDED, but it'd still be a nice little touch. Maybe something you could work on and add if you're ever bored?

-The "Not Guilty" bit is cut off and just kinda... plopped in like a lazy MSPaint cropping. That might be an image error, please don't take that as an accusation of anything. I mean this thing is amazing, even if it does have a couple of mishaps... oh, I'll just shush.

...Though I haven't scanned every INCH of the game, I think I got a decent amount of stuff. (Even if you have probably gotten all this before at this point goodness I'm so late.)
And though I know you probably have a TON of people offering to help by now, and I'm not sure how useful I'd be, but I'd still like to offer my hand if needed.

...I feel pretty odd having this as my first post, but maybe it'll show just how happy this whole thing makes me and act as some sort of awkward compliment?

Here is another Fuzzle sprite:

[Kiilek Rekaur]

i don't know if this is covered already, but i'm going through the demo correcting typing quirks, so...yeah i should have those files done soon if anyone wants them.

edit: Iv'e allready changed it, but I should note that in [S] Flip, terezi DOES use normal punctuation

edit:
I'm gonna put my bugs here
----LOG----
theres one line in the script:

"APPARENTLY HE WAS THE HEIR TO SOME HUGE LUSUS FARMING
prosecutor
"AUTOPSY

lusus farming what????
also, the line cuts off in-game as

"APPARENTLY HE WAS THE HEIR TO SOME HUGE LUSUS FARMIN

so there needs to be a {n} in there
(does everyone else get this too?)

Also... Tereziiiiiiii! looks really wierd... but thats just my opinion (I didn't change it)

4_H4MM3R? has no redirect point redirect point was labled 4_HAMMER (I fixed this)

another note: should all cases of YOUR HON3R be replaced with YOUR TYR4NNY ?
thats just a consistency thing i was curious about

I fixed a lot of those markup errors and a few where characters dissaper too

I also found out why the hand was still human. You had changed the Ani-judge-gaval-loop file to be a troll(the really fast animation were it bangs three times if you look close the hand is grey) but the normal Ani-judge-gaval was unchanged(I went ahead and fixed that too)


I also made all of Karkat's exclamation grey....because that's how he talks

I know I kinda just jumped on board here but i have a little bit of experience in XML
so I'm used to finding and fixing wierd little bugs
and this engine is amazingly simple
i like it

ALSO...

I can't change the skin color because... i ...that's not my um...yeah

[Systemic_Hysteria]

I believe that Roundy already has both the gavel animations that I made. The loop and single.
Also, I made the Karkat animations red after discussing it with people on the thread. If we decide to change them to grey, I still have the high quality .PSD files that I can use to make them grey.

As for the people in the background, I would be able to change their skin grey and whatnot, if we decide if we are going to use those images. (Which there has been much deliberation over.)

[Kiilek Rekaur]

Yeah... most of these backgrounds are way too bright for alternia
As far as the images I changed, those were mostly me playing around with the files to see how it looks
(but yeah they are pretty bad quality so thanks{although I would recomend including the highdef versions as optional files in the release so that geeks like me can swap them out if they prefer the gray anomnity})
The gavel single was excluded from the demo on the first page though so you might want to uh... fix that
Also I'm having trouble with the TereziHoldit animation. Im sure I fixed the coding but it keeps showing up as the default red (no clue why)
And one last note: The wrong evedence sequences with Gamzee are really akward to aply his quirk(s) to so i've pretty much left them alone

[zyborg]

Despite the numerous glitches, this was AWESOME!

[MoroNoKimi]

oh my god, this is so exciting. what a perfect concept XD
