ROM Hack Dragon Quest IX menu translation

[aginor37]

I remember someone mentioning that they could only get the lower case i to work because other lowercase letters would cause problems, well I think I just found a way around that.

All I did was replace the font.gp2 in the /pack directory with a renamed font_lvl5.gp2 from the /pack_lvl5 directory, and now in game I can name characters with all upper and lower case characters without it giving me any problems at all.

I know nobody is really working on this any more, but I figured i would offer that small bit of new info.

Edit: Never mind, while it does make more letters viewable, it still won't shoe a couple (U mostly that I have found) in the battle screen, but still shows them all in the rest of the game,

Nice work, I'll look into that.

I was told to ask this here, instead of the other thread i started, so...


How did you get past the problem where replacing a Japanese term/name with an English one didn't cause the surrounding text to display out of order/garbled? Is it because I am using hex editing instead of a tile editor?

Any input would be appreciated.

And to the above poster, don't get too excited on the whole font issue just yet, I think I am beginning to see where the problem is, but it is going to take some doing to get it 100%

Wait, when you said you replaced the font.gp2 in the /pack directory with a renamed font_lvl5.gp2 from the /pack_lvl5 directory, what exactly did you rename it to?

this is a great patch

too bad nobody is working on it anymore, considering the rumors about SE delaying the release

When I apply the patch, will I still have to apply the fix as well? I use R4 III Upgrade.
