endFrame composites a world override mirrored on LOVE 12, because a
pipeline's own projection pre-flips Y. ctx.drawFx puts the standing
effects into that same canvas as ordinary 2D, so the mirror inverts them
instead of righting them: a trainer's "!" draws upside down, below its
feet, on the mirrored half of the screen.
The condition is now Renderer.mirrorsWorldOverride, named because it is
not only the blit's business, and ctx.drawFx runs its block under the
matching mirror about the bound canvas. project() is left alone: it
already answers in screen rows.
A Japanese glyph advances by its width plus the window's letter spacing,
which a Latin one ignores (pokefirered/src/text.c:853): 1 for the normal
font (new_menu_helpers.c:413, the field message printer), 0 for the small
one (gFontInfos, new_menu_helpers.c:65). The engine already adds that
spacing, but only to a string carrying the {JPN} control code a ROM-
extracted one does; a mod's Japanese text has none, so its kana ran a pixel
tighter per character than on the cart. A glyph drawn from a Japanese sheet
now takes the window's spacing either way, and only once, falling back to
the message printer's spacing when the window sets none.
Name limits count characters (PLAYER_NAME_LENGTH, POKEMON_NAME_LENGTH), but
the start menu, the continue screen and the PC's hovered-mon panel cut names
with string.sub, in bytes. A kana is three bytes, so a five-kana species name
lost two characters in the PC and a Japanese player name was cut inside a
character. FrlgFont.truncate cuts by UTF-8 character, and those sites use it;
Latin names are cut as before, and an accented Latin name, whose accented
letters are two bytes, is no longer cut short either.
game3 prints every string with the US cart's Latin font, and FrlgFont has
no glyph for a kana, so a Japanese translation of FireRed would print
blank. The US cart still carries its Japanese fonts, which its text
printer draws for a string in Japanese mode (pokefirered/src/text.c:141,
:227): pret builds them into the US ROM, with the normal font's width
table.
The font extractor now bakes both, the normal font from its eight-to-a-row
layout (DecompressGlyph_Normal, text.c:1452) with its widths and the small
one sixteen to a row (DecompressGlyph_Small, text.c:1372), as
chrome/fonts/japanese_{normal,small}_{fg,shadow}.rgba and
japanese_widths.lua. LeafGreen's addresses follow the same -0x24 shift as
the rest of text.o. Cache version 120 re-imports existing caches.
FrlgFont numbers a Japanese character by its byte in the Japanese block of
pokefirered/charmap.txt (kana 01-A0, the full-width space, ！？。ー), plus
the symbols the font keeps at the Latin block's codes in their full-width
forms (digits, letters, 『』「」, 円, ／, ：), offset past the Latin
glyphs. A character with no Latin glyph draws from the Japanese sheet, at
the width the cart gives it (the table for the normal font, 8px for the
small one). Latin text is drawn as before.
Add a gated MODS row to the FireRed/LeafGreen start menu and an always-on
MODS row in the option menu. Both open a manager on the game3 stack that
reuses ManagerState behavior (list, detail, options, staged apply, profiles)
and draws with FRLG chrome. Nested name/quantity prompts route to the Gen 3
naming screen and a quantity dialog; APPLY & RESTART returns to the title.
