That error means something else on your computer has the file open, and is able to write to the file. If you want to be extra sure that this error does not happen, then do this:
Restart your computer. (Assuming whatever the process is doesn't load on startup, a reboot will shut down the mystery program).
Before doing anything else, load up xDelta, and also open a folder containing the app.asar file.
Use xDelta to apply the patch. Unlike the original instructions, call this patched file "app_patched.asar". Place app_patched.asar in the same place as app.asar.
Close xDelta. Then, delete app.asar. If your computer won't let you delete app.asar, reboot again and delete the file.
Then, rename "app_patched.asar" to app.asar.
All should work fine at this point. You should be able to play.
I know this is an old translation, but the reason they deleted that ending is because the whole joke is "Why did I have to see this kiss scene with the guy I like in the opening!?", but the 2022 remake of the game doesn't have the relevant CG in the OP anymore. So personally I don't think it makes sense to put the ending back in the game because it only made sense with the 2014 version of the game and its OP.
Edit:
Correction:
I think the 2022 remake does have the kiss CG in the complete edition, but in the free version OP, they replaced it with the "photos" CG.
So for what I said above, replace "2022 remake" with "free version" and "2014 version" with "the complete edition".
I don't think you can do it through the VN. However, you should be able to lower the volume on Win10 by doing Speakers -> Volume Mixer -> Bloodstained Flowers (VN needs to be open) -> Adjust the volume.
Note that this is for you alone, though. If you're planning on streaming it somewhere, you'll have to edit the volume in editing yourself.
this is my first time using any romhacker so I’m having trouble installing. could anyone help specify the 5th direction? I already set the original file, I don’t know what to set for the modified file/patch destination or source file.
Original/Source File: The app.asar provided in your download of the VN.
Patch: The xDelta file I provided.
Destination File: The location of the new file that will be created.
Think of it like this: The VN creator gave you the original file. I gave you the file that can tell xDelta how to turn the original file into the translated file. You must inform xDelta what these two files are, so that it can build the translated file.
Can I somehow change speed of the text? I can`t find game setting, I can`t even open it on full screen (only in window). It`s hard to play like this, text speed is very slow. But game looks really good, so I want to play it.
Alternatively, you can try to unpack it by using the node.js asar package.
The file of interest is {asarRootFolder}/data/system/Config.tjs
Text speed is the value "chSpeed". 30 is the default. Lower values mean faster speed.
Overwrite the Config.tjs in the patched app.asar, and you should be good to go.
Full screen is tougher. If you try to force fullscreen you're going to get black bars on the sides of the screen.
If you want to resize the window on startup to something custom, you can open up the file {asarRootFolder}/data/scenario/first.ks, edit the line that has window.ResizeTo() that does NOT have a semicolon at the start of the line to your preferred resolution, and repack that into the asar file. Take note that the resolutions used by resizeTo are inaccurate, so that's why I used the original width and height to set the desired resolution.
Thank you so much for translating this game, it must have taken a while.
I loved it, it was truly captivating. I'm impressed that it's a free game despite being voiced and such.
The ending is satisfying, nothing is left unanswered.
I'm just a little frustrated that I can't play the other games because I don't speak Japanese aha (maybe one day), but thanks again for introducing us to this game ! :)
I hope a lot of people will play it because it's a really good horror/thriller VN.
Yeah, the font is too tiny, and I want to make good use of the extra space.
Also, you can drag the edge of the window if you need to make it smaller. I did that at first so I could read the text until I found out how to change the resolution on startup.
I've also gone ahead and made a quick alternative patch that features the original resolution, if that's preferable.

thanks but how can I change backgroun music volume it's so loud?

thanks, I think I just need help with replacing the file. I created the patch and when I replaced it, the game doesn't open.
The result file should be about 663,239 KB big.
The original file should be a file said to be modified on 2/21/2022 10:37 AM (UTC -6) with an approximate size of 661,963 KB.
I double checked the download provided by Freem just now, and that should have the original app.asar file you want.
The result file absolutely must be named app.asar and be placed inside that resources folder, where the original app.asar used to be.
If that doesn't work, are you able to provide more details on which part doesn't match up?
Thank you, works like a charm; Gonna play it soon | He who is brave is free.
Have you decided on your next project?
I'm thinking of either 残余の羊 or しにいそぐぼくら . Not sure yet, though it will probably be the cream one.
Thank you for translation!

There's a bit of a hacky way to do it, though this should do the job:
Thank you so much for fast answer! I`ll try to do it sometime later, when I have time to play the game :)

Don't mean to sound ungrateful, but sprites don't look very good with new size screen. Are there some troubles with just changing font size?
Yeah, the font is too tiny, and I want to make good use of the extra space.

Looks great!
