Questions about patching 'Lotus Land Story' and PC-98

[chlehd0509]

Based on the old post, I could extract(not translated yet) character's scripts, ending, and some bitmap image files.
But I couldn't find some string's source and almost image files.
So I want to ask these problems.

1. Which file can I see these strings? I mean, the string that appears in the corner at main screen and select screen.
(I'm sorry, but I can't upload image files now. I don't know why.)

2. Which file can I see titles of musics in musicroom? I tried translating all point in the .hdi file, but I couldn't change these strings.

3. How can I change .PI files into PNG files?

1. I'm not sure, but I think those are images, not strings at all. If so, they're probably in one of the .Bft files. (Although the only one I can open is GAMEFT.BFT)

2. I honestly don't know. At that point, Zun's coding was still somewhat iffy, and he may have hardcoded them in. Otherwise, probably more images.

3. I want to know this as well.

For No.3, you could search on the internet for something like 'PL to PNG converter'. There are plenty of online resources that could convert your files.

Except not. Admittedly, the last time I looked was a few months ago, but I couldn't find it anywhere. (Also, it's PI not PL)
It's not exactly a common image format.

There is, to my knowledge, currently, no such thing as a PI/PNG converter.
This is the biggest roadblock in creating English patches for the PC-98 games.
You may want to talk to Prime 2.0, and ?lice Bl?ckb?rn and the LLS/MS team.
