Sounds awesome but what does it actually do?

[Albeoris]

"Now you can change font and export text resources."

Future:

Import text
Disable cheats
Exit to main menu
Export/import textures
Redesign for battle menu
Rewrite the game engine

[Fli]

This is great, thanks for your hard work.

[Moogy]

Yes but export text resources?
Would be great to expand the information/guide a little bit.
Not everyone are programmers here :)

[Albeoris]

Update. :)

[Moogy]

I appreciate mod for the reason of making it but i still havent received the simple explanation i was asking for.

[Albeoris]

What explanation do you expect? :)
What do you not understand? Ask, I will answer.

[Moogy]

1. What is export text resources ?
2. Disable cheats ? Isnt that already there ?
3. And font basically you changed the fonts ? Would be nice maybe to see the differences first.

Also "Future", is that what you're gonna add later ?
And thanks again, its just better to see more pictures and information about the mods.

[Albeoris]

1. Yes. You can save all of text resources to the specified directory. e.g. for translation.
2. No. The game by default allow you set 99 lvl, learn all of abilities, etc. It's "feature". -_-
3. First of all it is necessary to translate the game to other languages. But you can just make font smaller or larger if you want. Or name: https://i.imgur.com/M6Bx42y.png
4. Yeah.
5. Yes, I know, but I really have no time for the biggest review. :(

[Albeoris]

Updated. Load anywhere (Alt+F9). Use at your own risk. :D

[Moogy]

Ok thanks alot, will subscribe

[Moogy]

Once you have it in the mod section, that is.
Also "family" you mean "familiar" ?
As in the fonts being familiar ?
By which case being like the PSX fonts ?

[Albeoris]

No, a wrong term:

I am about font name. But yes, you can choose font what looks like PSX. :)
