Fueling my meme-powered giant laser

It's that quotes one that Geoff and BF did! One point for guessing the source material, one point for guessing the quoted character.

TOURNAMENT ARC

So! Now that more people are starting to get interested in the game:

I propose an online UNL tournament.

Anyone can join, so long as they can get the game working and get Hamachi working for netplay. It's easy! Also, I'd put it a bit in the future, so that people who just started playing recently can get up to speed.

THE RULES would tenatively be as follows:
1. Traditional tournament bracket format.
2. Each set is determined by best of three matches.
3. Within each set, you must pick a different character for each match.
4. If someone is cripplingly lagged out, the match is determined to be a draw.
5. During Typhoon weather, both players must withdraw to opposite sides of the field and wait for the weather to end.
6. No Patchouli.
7. Each match must have at least one spectator to verify victory and validity of match.

I'll go ahead and start TAKING SIGNUPS now. If I can get 8 or more, let's do this thing.

CONTESTANT LIST:
1. Prof
2. Eric
3. Hustino
4. Equilibratum
5. Tomiko
6. Floogy
7. XC
8. Chris
9. Void
10. Llama
11. Ayame
12. GREATEST WALL, HONG MEILING Li-Chi
13.
14.
15.
16.

HOW TO SHOT UNL NETPLAY

( Instructions contained within )

I PROBABLY SHOULD'VE MADE THIS ONE FIRST

SETTING UP UNL


Getting the games

1. Find a download for Scarlet Weather Rhapsody.
2. Find a download for Touhou Hisoutensoku.
3. No, I won't help you find them.

Syncing SWR and UNL

1. Go to the folder where SWR is installed in Windows Explorer.
2. Right click on the path at the top of the window and click "Copy address as text".
3. Go to the folder where UNL is installed.
4. Open the file called "configexth123.ini".
5. Near the top, there should be a line that says "Path=", followed by a directory path.
6. Delete it and paste in the address you copied.
7. UNL will now import all characters and data from SWR.

Patches

1. Get the 1.10 Patch for UNL (one of the top three mirrors).
2. Run the patch program.
3. When it asks you for a directory path, provide the directory where UNL is installed.
4. Note that whatever you put for the directory, it will add "\th123" to the end of it. Delete this.
5. Install patch. UNL should now be upgraded to version 1.10.
6. Download the English Translation Patch.
7. Run the patch program.
8. When it asks for a directory, give it UNL. This one won't play any tricks.
9. Install patch.
10. Run th123e.exe to confirm that the game is now in English.

Disabling Weather

1. Get the Weather Kill Program.
2. Save it to the UNL directory (may not be necessary).
3. Run Weather Kill.
4. Run UNL.
5. Click the box in Weather Kill that says "Kill weather".
6. Weather is now disabled. This is required for tournament play.

RULES UPDATE

Tournament rules, VERSION 2:

1. Standard double-elimination tournament format.
2. Each set is determined by best of three matches.
3. Within each set, you must pick a different character for each match.
4. If someone is cripplingly lagged out, the match is determined to be a draw.
5. Before the match, both players must agree on whether or not to use Weather Kill.
6. Okay, Patchouli can play too.
7. Each match must have at least one spectator to verify victory and validity of match.
