[ILLUSION] Honey♥Select (ハニーセレクト) - Discussion & FAQ

Re: [ILLUSION] Honey♥Select (ハニーセレクト) - Discussion & FAQ

Quick and dirty guide. First, installing the game :

  1. Download the game from one of the torrents (either Girlcelly's or Mikocon's one).
  2. In it, you will find the disk images for Honey Select. Mount them using something like Daemon Tool.
  3. To install the game, run "setup.exe". If the installer complains, download and use a tool like Locale Emulator or NTLEAS to emulate a Japanese operating system.
  4. When prompted for "Disk2", do not mount it in a separate virtual drive. First, eject "Disk1", then mount "Disk2" in the exact same drive (same drive letter).

Then, installing the bonus content and update :

  1. In the torrent you downloaded, look for files called "honey_souki.exe" and "honeys_yoyaku.exe". They are auto-extracting archives containing additional clothing. Launch them to extract and then launch "Filecopy.exe" inside of the unpacked folders.
  2. Download the latest 09/30 "S" Update (551.0 MB) linked in the first post. You don't need the other updates. You don't need to install the update that is shipped with the torrent either. Install it just like you installed the two previous DLCs

You should have a full and up-to-date game at this point. Do a backup of the game folder before attempting to mod it.




Yes, this is a mod. But I don't think it's been posted on Anime-Sharing, so you may have to look for it on Hongfire.




The walk-through / troubleshooting / FAQ / wiki are not really useful currently, since they lack a lot of information. I hope someone is going to update them before I do.

If you have troubles with the game, come back here and ask for help.

Wow thanks man, hopefully this turns out well. But what about the english translation patch, anything important i need to know? Also, i just uninstalled daemon tools and such cuz i thot it was useless and cuz i think my comp which is win10 is set to japanese locale and can already mount disks...wud that be sufficient? Gonna attempt this soon, appreciate ur help greatly! Also, i download .rar instead of torrents, hopefully it wont take a full day to download...

Alright got it thanks!

There shouldn't be any /abdata/chara sub-directory inside the main directory /HoneySelect_64_Data/; at least my system don't show anything like that.

I suspect that you installed a patch or a mod manually and make a mistake, coping the files into /HoneySelect_64_Data/ instead of /HoneySelect/.

Try moving the indicated /abdata/ sub-directory and all the files out of /HoneySelect_64_Data/ and into a temporary location outside the game directory. Don't delete them just in case you need them back.

You may also need to install the latest patch to make sure all files are in the correct location.

Ach, I should have seen that. Thank you for the response.

Unfortunately, I had already re-installed. :o_O:

It's alright though, it was pretty messy in there, obviously.
 
THANK YOU FOR THE GAME!




PS: I edited this post to take out the question regarding the update I went through the posts and found my answer.

PSS: I found the translation and how to install them..

Fell into a bunch of problems unfortunately. Evendors though I was able to install the game there is no launch file on my computer start menu which is of course not to serious. But using the exe start in the folders only end up in a black screen. Only the initial start menu works but not the 64 bit .exe. Also got a small Spyware from downloading something which I'll jave to get rid of tmrw. The other problem is the serious lag and delay when opening any file for honey select and I'm not sure if it's my comp that can't handle it or the malware. All in all, I definitely missed something since I get a black screen with the cursor visible aND now I gotta find the English translations.
 
I'm late on updating the OP. But MegaKameha posted the latest update : check this post to download the 09/30 official update.




The Overwatch models are not part of the original package, but mods that you have to add separately. You probably downloaded a pre-modified version of the trial that bundled mods along the demo.

Check the Mod Release Thread and see if anything fancies your tastes. DillDoe made a D.Va outfit that shall interest you.

If you have any issues installing / using those mods, you can ask for support in the Mod Support Thread.

Thank you, I guess I will just have to wait for proper mods for full version.

(snip) ...In it, you will find the disk images for Honey Select. Mount them using something like Daemon Tool...

Thanks for your detail guide (which I would never have to patience to write it :P) but something extra I want to point out.

Personally I would NOT recommend Daemon Tool because new versions have malware installed in the background.
I am actually quite sad because I was a fan of Daemon Tool long time ago. Have to pay the price to get rid of that browser hijacker :(

Worse than that, it does not even let you know before you install it. It just secretly did that.
Other software at least offers an option to let you decline installing these extra "tools" (although the buttons are usually pretty sneaky).

Windows 8.1 and onwards have built-in function to auto mount disk images. But if you are using older OS system, use other ISO mounting software.

OK, so this is how I did it, on WINDOWS 10!

Step 1: Download the new language from control panel; download Japanese wait till it downloads and installs, then at the bottom right corner of your screen tap the ENG and select JAPANESE.
Step 2: Windows 10 does not require any software for it to read ISO files I did NOT use any of the sort. So extract both DISKS on the same folder where you downloaded HoneySelect. Next double click on the first Disk and double click again on the GREEN (colored) labeled STARTUP. After hit the 2nd option from the top down, then it will load a little bit and once it's done tap the next button and begin the installation. Now mid way through it will ask you to use disk 2. FIRST EJECT disk1 because if you do NOT do this and run disk 2 while disk 1 is still active it will give you an error canceling the installation. Once the bar finished loading completely you have successfully installed the game
Step 3: Extract the rest of the .rar ((18禁ゲーム) [160909] [ILLUSION] ハニーセレクト -Honey♥Select- オフィシャル特典 女豹水着セット&裸エプロンピンク) ((18禁ゲーム) [160909] [ILLUSION] ハニーセレクト -Honey♥Select- 発売記念追加データ&ハニースタジオ) ((18禁ゲーム) [160909] [ILLUSION] ハニーセレクト -Honey♥Select- 予約特典 花魁データセット) <--- Those names are shown as rar files. Extract them into the same folder. Once that's done open the folder and select "FILECOPY" and a little window will open, next tap on the left button to copy all the files properly into your Honeyselect Directory repeat that for the other 2 folders.
Step 4: Download the latest UPDATE which is provided on this Thread.. ONLY download the one with an "S" on it. Then double lick that file and again hit the "FILECOPY" and it should all install into the HineySelect Directory.
Step 5: Last but not least download the UI translatation Image translations and text translations which is also provided in this thread. Just copy and paste over writing all files when asked! And you should be done.

EXTRA: For modding purposes, make a back up of HoneySelect directory (where the game is installed) and have fun modding!



PS: If you guys need images let me know I will re-install my game so I can take screenshots. Let me know if you have any questions on this.

Holy cow, I totally forgot about that. I'm so used to it that I didn't warn anyone before recommending Daemon Tools.

When DT Installer tries to install its bundled adware, it will display a window without any "tick box" to uncheck, but that doesn't mean you can't avoid it : you simply have to press "Cancel" instead of "OK" to close the window without having to install the crapware (in fact, the adware has its own separate installer that is launched by the DT one).

It's really unintuitive : habitually, you don't want to press "Cancel" during an installation, but here, this is what should be done. I'm used to avoid it, but I understand that a lot of people would fall for it.

Now, I feel really bad for our friend :

I'm so sorry... It really is my fault, here.

I will update my previous post to warn users against it and provide alternatives for Daemon Tools.

I didn't find this anywhere, and it might be one of the yet untranslated options.

How can I save alterations to girls I already created and put on a room?

If your character has already been created and placed within a room. You later alter that character in the character maker then "Overwrite" that existing character and save, the alterations should show up within that same character placed within that room.

The Overwrite option doesn't seem to do anything, and it's not present in the editor you get to when clicking under the card when selecting a girl.

There doesn't seem to be any saving options there, so I'm not sure what's the point of it. But when exiting there are 3 options and I'm curious as to what each one does.

EDIT: Okay so I translated the first to, tellingly, "save and exit". Unfortunately, it does nothing, like the overwrite function.

Bug?

What version are you talking about because I Daemon Tools Lite v10.0

I would re-install any mods to see if there was an error when installing or a corrupt file and since you would be doing this, I would make sure that you have all the updated versions of those mods. Especially the translation text mods and translation UI mods, those are very important when you install them, it is best to follow the instructions to install them.

Also, could you upload a screenshot of what you are exactly talking about so it helps us all here to understand a bit better of what is going on with your UI? Thanks
 
So Doctor, how it's going on compiling the information you gleaned from looking into the game's codes?

The Doc got an awfully busy week. On top of that, there were translation issues with some of the girls personalities and traits. Unfortunately, I had to put it on hold for a little while.

But I'm on it right now. The "Feeling System" is about 90% covered. I hope I'll be able to post something before going to sleep (if I sleep).


I didn't find this anywhere, and it might be one of the yet untranslated options.

How can I save alterations to girls I already created and put on a room?

You can modify them from the girl "Status Screen". This is the screen where you can select the girl you want for the next session and check her progression (with all the bar and the coloured smiley face).

Just below her card, right next to the girls list, you have a button to open the editor.

Note that you won't have access to all the options : you can only change her appearance and her clothes. If you want to change her traits, personality, or any other characteristic, you will have to first remove her from any "room" that she may be in.


What version are you talking about because I Daemon Tools Lite v10.0

And it doesn't push adware anymore ? I can't remember when that changed... And I must admit that it's not the kind of thing I keep in my internal human memory (I'm already swapping a lot, currently).

I don't know that it cause some "adware". I haven't had any problem with system for two years.
 
So, y'all wanna know how girls work in Honey Select ?

Well, there it is : Honey Select Wiki - Feelings System

There's already quite a lot of information, but that's only the first part of it. On top of that, there's also a "Needs System" and an "Experience System" that I will detail later.

Also note that the current page needs some proofreading, some formatting, some nice illustrations and images and some revisions to the translations I provided.

Well hopefully my malware bytes can remove it easily. Removed 300 threats on my comp before so it cud probably get rid of this simple adware

My laptop updated to windows 10 but I have never seen any mount option before when right clicking a disk. Only shows open. Am I supposed to somehow extract the iso?

I appreciate the guide, and it helps a lot, but there has to be something else that gives points in feelings. Is it in the "Needs" information you have coming?

I say this, because according to the tables in the Feelings section linked, it should be impossible to get a character with both the Boyish/Tomboy and Lonely aspects to maximum Subordination (since you net -1 Subordination each time after they've already gotten the "purple smiley"). However, I have a character with those traits at maximum Subordination.
 
I appreciate the guide, and it helps a lot, but there has to be something else that gives points in feelings. Is it in the "Needs" information you have coming?

Is the guide okay ? Not too difficult to understand ? I tried to keep things simple, but that's not always easy.

Concerning "feelings", the page has about everything there is to know. The only other mean to alter a girl's feelings are during "events" : depending on the choice you made during the short ADV sequences (like the shower or toilet event), you will also lose or gain some feelings levels / points. But I believe the whole "Events System" needs its separate page, so I didn't include them here.

By the way, the "Needs System" is basically what trigger those events. Behind the scene, girls actually have needs (to pee, to shower, to rest, to fuck, or... to flee away from you) with levels ranging from 0 to 100. And depending on what you do (like coming on her body or the number of orgasms), those levels will rise. And trigger events.

So, if you want to get some shower event, you know what you need to do : drench the girl in semen every time you meet her and soon enough, you'll find her in the bathroom.

It's interesting to see that the mechanics are deeper than what they seem. In fact, they're a little bit too complex for such a game. The way they manage the various girls characteristics feels like they're building a toolset that perfectly could be used to drive a simulation game from the Artificial Series in the near future. In fact, they basically would only need to apply those calculation in real-time (at intervals) instead of having a "turn-based" system like in Honey Select.


I say this, because according to the tables in the Feelings section linked, it should be impossible to get a character with both the Boyish/Tomboy and Lonely aspects to maximum Subordination (since you net -1 Subordination each time after they've already gotten the "purple smiley"). However, I have a character with those traits at maximum Subordination.

You're right. With a tomboyish and lonely girl, you should have a really hard time reaching the "Max Level Slave" state.

If you select her, she'll lose 1 subordination level / point thanks to her personality. And if you don't select her, she would still lose 1 point thanks to her trait. And once she reach "Slave State" (purple smiley), she won't earn new points whatever you do to her (netting -1 point, as you said).

Do you remember if you had to go through certain events to reach this "max level" state ? Can you sustain this state during many sessions, or does it go back to the standard no-red-text state after sexing the girl ?
 
alright, gotta download the english patch now, but when i click on the link my google says harmful site detected ahead. Is the link really trusthworthy? I just spent 2 hours scanning to remove 200 threats, i dont want to do this again D:

Chrome is notorious for false positives. You can trust any links posted for Honey Select so far.

I have downloaded them all and there are no viruses that I found.

EDIT: i downloaded the files linked in this forum and now have this https://gyazo.com/e174191882ecd87d11a36ea1bc05431d extracted it in the setup folder but still nothing?
