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.
The party, the PC boxes and the release animation drew an egg with the icon
of the species it will hatch into, so a Pichu egg showed as a Pichu. pret's
party menu picks the icon from GetMonData(MON_DATA_SPECIES_OR_EGG), which is
SPECIES_EGG for any egg (pokefirered/src/pokemon.c:3245, party_menu.c:2655).
Pokemon.speciesOrEgg does the same, and the icon call sites use it. The
species pass only extracted icons up to NUM_SPECIES - 1, so the egg extractor
now also bakes gMonIconTable[SPECIES_EGG] as pokemon/icons/412.rgba. Cache
version 114 re-imports existing caches so the icon appears.
Only src/import/gba/versions.lua conflicted, and not on the value: both
branches had independently taken CACHE_VERSION 111 for unrelated cache
layouts. dev's 111 is the hidden-item bitfield fix in
extract_map_events.lua (id % 256, qty % 128); this branch's 111 is the new
deoxys_rock_fragments field effect. Sharing one number would let a cache
stamped by dev be treated as fresh, silently dropping the meteorite
shatter artwork, so the Deoxys artwork moves to 112.
src/core/game3/field_view.lua auto-merged: dev's Doors.draw viewport
arguments and this branch's bg_flash veil do not overlap.
