I think it is better to release it as an iro file, so it is safer from the legal side and it easier to mod. However this way we have the problem, that it won't work with TS or other programs/mods which needs to make changes to the flevel, because every change will be overwritten by the iro file. So one way is to developed the programs so they change the flevel.iro file instead of the flevel.lgp or I (or somebody else) have to patch the flevel and implement the changes as an additional option, but this will blow up the flevel.iro file and every new mod must be first converted to it.
For the text I guess it would be a good idea to enhance 7th Heaven with a direct Text patch feature. So 7th Heaven would read the txt-files TS has created. This way it would be also easier to maintain different languages.
Edit:
I will implement this as an option, too.
FF7MusicPatch
This is a simple change in the script. The '#' means that I have added a variable to the field.
The other fields read these variable and if it's changed, then a music is played right before the
orignal field music. This prevents FF7Music for being mute for fields,
when in the field before the music was set to silent.
However, it doesn't fix the problem, which FF7Music has with volume ramping.
