Download Xenogears VWF Pack ROM Hack

*****************************************
* XENOGEARS proportional font package	*
*****************************************

This package contains a series of hacks to add a proportional
font to the US version of Xenogears. It's been sitting on a
backup drive for years, entirely unused. I guess it's time to
give it a real purpose.

-------------
-HOW TO USE	-
-------------
First of all, you're going to need SadNES cITy's translation
tool pack, which can be found here:
http://www.sadnescity.it/traduzioni/xeno/files/xenogears_translation_tools.rar

You are also going to need any version of armips, which can
be found here:
http://www.romhacking.net/utilities/635/

Follow SadNES's PDF instructions to extract all ISO content.
From there you'll have a number of files which are named in
simple increasing numbers for the most. You can use these
files and the SadNES rebuilder to replace any hacked file
into a rebuilt ISO (check the assembly scripts to figure
out which files you are going to need).
Alternatively, if you have your own set of extracted files
for any reason (say, for your own translation project with
different internals) you will need to find which of the edited
files correspond to SadNES's nomenclature.

Now, you can use the batch included in the package and run
it to have all changes applied. Beware tho, because the batch
also comes with extra commands that are intended to inject
hacked files directly into the ISO, with no full rebuild via
translation tools; make sure you take precautions because
this could break your game as the script assumes a few values
from prebuild tables (i.e. LBA values which could be invalid).

- NOTES	-
---------
This proportional font hack is extremely old and doesn't come
with solutions for every possible section in the game. For
example, it won't resize text box sizes nor will realign
strings inside menus. In some cases it will also require more
than a few changes to the game's code, like the name entry
screen found later in game, when you can define Weltall's name.

Other than that, the hack includes a bunch of useful features,
like fixed auto-centering in most text boxes that make use of
it, like for spells in battle. It also comes with a small fix
for the battle dialog cursor, which was incorrectly stretched.

-EXTRAS	-
---------
The pack also comes with a simple program to build and convert
the font to a usable format for the game, and it generates a
proper width table as well.

This converter is extremely old and probably doesn't even compile
anymore in any recent build of Visual Studio (it was made with
VS2005 or VS2003, I completely forgot to be honest).

Even if it doesn't work anymore as intended you can still use it
as a reference for convertion.
