changing default font #2
« on: 2013-04-21 21:41:02 »
old smiliar topic here | Kaldarasha's alternative solution

All i want is to change the font. i following these steps:

1) open menu_us.lgp with lgptools (yea i know it's old)
2) export usfont_b_h.tex to a folder

3) convert usfont_b_h.tex to usfont_b_h.bmp with all palettes and reconvert it back to .tex

that's the problem!

i used a lot of converters: img2tex, textool, highwind, omega.. even biturn
none of these can import ALL palettes back to .tex
none of these can export ALL palettes to .bmp (expect omega.. but 1file/palette... i dont think is right)

i think this is very important because if we solve this, ff7 translating to other languages will be much easier

i want to translate into greek and thats my only problem

Hey Agahnim, been there, done that: if you want to edit a *.tex file you'll need to extract to *.bmp (let's say palette number 1) then edit it with your image editing software then in Omega load the original usfont file to get the palettes right after that load your retouched *.bmp file and convert it to *.tex. Be aware that there's 2 kind of font for the PC version: narrow for menus ans wide for dialogues (2 files each).

Have you try your new texture in-game ? Make sure the BMP file is 256x256px.

i dont know if anyone cares about that but i found a solution!

the solution is: make the convertion manually from hex

now i can edit any character ingame, or change font with palettes included

if someone want more infos just pm me

That's a different method, glad to see you've found how to fix those files.
Good luck with your greek translation project Agahnim !
