Translations

My first attempt at a translation hack. Translation done with the help of many translators and was made using a hex editor and Lunar Compress for recompressing graphics for replacement.

Translations mostly by myself of Paint Studio, Paint Studio (Beta), Talent Studio and Polygon Studio, sometimes redone up to 3 times.

Did reverse engineering and hacking using bass assembler for readable source files with pure MIPS assembly language and full control over where data and graphics are inserted.

Also did most of the english graphics except the Title Logo.

I did hacking and tooling to make the job of translation easier, like with a tool with a preview feature (PuttScript and TransPutt, see below), with pictures that automatically convert.

Hacking work includes hacks to render a variable width font, changes to text buffer usage to avoid buffer overflow, menu control changes, and lots of additional changes needed for stability as some of these changes are significant.

DackR did the new text and pictures used in the new translation.

Started a translation project with some new tools made in Python for compression & decompression.
