[Tool] Ace Attorney Offline (Download Cases)

I can't tell you what exactly triggers it but sometimes the music doesn't stop when it's called for and it won't remove until you refresh the page. Which can break immersion as I know from experience...

Hmm, this is unfortunately difficult to debug without more information. By "sometimes", do you mean "only for some trials/scenes" or "it only happens inconsistently/seemingly at random"? If it's the former, do you have an example case where this happens (maybe even a save file)? If it's the latter, then this'll be pretty annoying to fix since I can't reliably test for the problem, it may be related to the browser (e.g., if you're using Firefox, you may need to use `--disable-html5-audio` and run a local web server to avoid some audio problems).

[...] I've created an issue for this and will try to fix this over the next few days.

Yeah, right, "the next few days"… The issue turned out to be more complex than I anticipated, and I didn't have a lot of time to work on it over the last few months. I'm still planning to implement it, though.

The issue with custom backgrounds for the bottom screen not being downloaded properly has been fixed as of version 2.0.2.

Is there any possibility this could be updated to also download from mocked installs of AAO on the user's own computer?

In the event that AAO ever disappears completely, local installs would be one way for people to preserve their work and continue using the editor. And if they could use this tool to download their trials, they could share them that way as well. Main reason I ask right now is due to the save bug in AAO, but it could be useful for the future as well.

The way I would envision it working is that you just input a local URL (something like localhost/aao/player.php?trial_id=whatever), and it then replaces all internal references to AAO's directories to this new local directory, but inputting a normal AAO url would work like normal.

If having any information about how to set up a mocked install would help, feel free to send me a private message and I can assist. But I understand if it would be too much of an undertaking.

I set up a mocked install some time ago with Docker and it only took a few minutes, so the environment itself is pretty easy to reproduce.

The only real inconvenience is that (as far as I know) the multimedia assets aren’t included in it.

That definitely sounds like something aaoffline should support. I think the only required change would be that the host/prefix URL (currently always https://aaonline.fr) would need to be configurable, right? If so, that shouldn't be too difficult to implement and I can look into it once I have some time.

As of v2.1.0, this is now implemented. You can either set the base URL to something other than aaonline.fr manually, or just paste in a local URL.

Great! Got it working, thanks.

For anyone else on Windows, just a heads up that you'll need to make sure to run it as an administrator or you'll get an error about not having permission for something or other.

This is a great tool! Highly recommended, the GUI version is great, even I can work it. All seems to run flawlessly in Firefox, and I've been using it with a downgraded version of Firefox (115.14.0esr) to get around the current gif playback issues.

Would you consider adding an option for the aaobetterlayout userscript to include the update from Chuchujelly? https://www.aaonline.fr/forum/viewtopic ... 42#p785842 I am too used to that volume bar now

Sure, I think the volume bar is useful enough to just include by default, so I've updated my mirror of the userscripts. aaoffline will now use this version.
