v1.8.5
Superseded. This is an older release; install the latest release instead.
The same tester who found the Episode 3 talk bug said the Logic keyword graphics I edit
looked a bit odd. They did. Those cards and the banner above each keyword's description are
images, not text, so the official name has to be drawn into them. Until now it was drawn in
the Collection's own font squashed down to the DS size and forced to one bit per pixel, on a
card interior wiped to flat bands, and long names were squeezed sideways until the letters
touched. Next to an untouched fan card it stood out immediately.
They are now drawn in the fan team's own pixel lettering. Nothing ships with the tool: every
letter, the spacing between letters and words, and a clean copy of the card with no text on
it are all cut out of your own ROM at build time by tools/logic_font.py, from the fan's 133
cards and banners. What the repository holds is the fan's own card text, so the harvester
knows which shape is which letter.
Proof, since none of that is worth anything unless it reproduces the fan's work: redrawing
the fan's own card text with the finished pipeline gives back 75 of its 101 cards and 83 of
its 93 banners pixel for pixel, whole images, background and the dark outline under the white
letters included. Of the 26 cards that differ, 10 come out exact once the block of text moves
the one row the fan moved it by hand (the fan used two heights for a two-line card with
nothing in the text to tell them apart, and I use the one it used more often), 14 differ
where the fan tightened a line by hand, and for 2 my record of the fan's text only holds the
first line, so they were never a fair comparison. Where Capcom's name for a keyword is the
same as the fan's, my card and banner come out byte-identical to the fan's: 17 cards and 18
banners.
97 of the 133 keywords have an official name, and all 194 of their images are redrawn. Two
names are wider than any banner can hold even with the spaces narrowed, so their banner
carries a shorter form while the card keeps Capcom's full name on three lines: "Sound of
something breaking" becomes "Something breaking" above its description, and "Festival at
Sunshine Coliseum" becomes "Festival at the Coliseum". Four characters the fan never drew are
built out of ones it did: the double quote, the digit zero, a lowercase z, and a capital I on
banners. Read back against 1.8.4, one file changes, the Logic image bank, plus the version
number painted on the title screen. The eight audits are identical to 1.8.4's output.
