All strings are encoded into file
First text entry starts at: 0x1867. Values are Big Endian
One entry is:
Code: Select all
uint32 - text length
char[] - text (may be Unicode and ASCII!!!)
byte - Settings
varies - varied by Settings
Settings:
Code: Select all
When 8:
-unknown byte
-unknown uint
-next string
When 7:
-next string
When 1:
-unknown byte
-Next string
Anyway, why is there Balamb Garden places names in Final Fantasy III? Along with VIII G.Fs names and FF8Launcher inside? What the hell, that whole file is about strings from Final Fantasy VIII not III
Edit: I didn't break the header yet, but it looks like it's divided to many languages and sections and before every section there's header with probably positions of this text. (pointers are rising)
