That's it.
That's fucking it. You've done it. You've killed FEITS, and with it, you've killed me with happiness and sheer glee. Are you happy now, you *bastard?!!*
Depends. Do I get some kind of award for killing you? Maybe at least some strawberries?
This is the best goddamn thing I have ever seen in my life. Holy fuck this is one comprehensive, well-thought out program. Sound, a nice GUI, Fates and Awakening support, easy editing, great documentation....
Are you TRYING to make me need a new pair of pants?!!!
Well I wasn't before, but now that you mention it...
Seriously, as the guy who localized FEITS, this is the best fucking thing I have ever seen in my life.
Wow. What do I say to that? Thank you very mu-
The only qualms I have about it are:
Uh-oh.
A. It uses not-Github. Github is kinda the defacto standard for a reason.
I understand that, I really do -- see my reply here for why that wasn't an option in this case. I wasn't going to use my normal GitHub account for a ROM-hacking project, obviously, and since I appear to have mysteriously lost an e-mail (which is odd, because all three that I actually use are accounted for) there's not much I can do about it without making another one with another name... And I like cacti, and GitLab is nice. It doesn't lose out to GitHub, in my mind!
B. It uses mp3s, instead of grabbing the sounds and streams from the BSCARs and .bcstm files respectively. (i.e. no looping and lower quality.)
This is an extremely valid point, but I'm afraid that implementing the entire codec in such a way that JavaFX could work with it is rather beyond the scope of a little project like this, at least for now! Maybe someday, but... I'm afraid that isn't my specialty, so it'd be a long time coming.
C. It's difficult and unclear to set-up. All the files should be downloaded at once. None of this a la carte business. (Or, at the least, if you do a la carte, have the download packs more obviously linked, in with the "how-to" guide.
Another very valid point. The reason I split it up was because of how large the download would have been if it had all come together -- especially with the Fates BGM. That's huge! One thing that I definitely will do soon, though, is add them to the guide. Not doing that was a ridiculous oversight on my part.
But complaining about those is like complaining that the beautiful, gold-plated horse you just found has a small fly hovering around his nose. Seriously this program is amazing. Holy shit. I love this program and I love YOU. And if you ever need the Awakening or Fates PNGs from the DLC, I've uploaded them here.
Well that's a flattering ending! I'm sincerely glad you like the program, and I certainly hope to improve it further over time. There's already some backend work that I want to get done -- nothing visible to end users, for the most part, but things related to performance and extensibility. Maybe add in some kind of test to make sure that a conversion successfully produced something that could be run... That would be extremely simple...
Uh, anyway, thanks for the love and all that. Seeing someone so excited about my little tool definitely brought a smile to my face.
