Serela:
That not only fixes the NoR minor issues and makes translation easier, but also opens up all the other .tarc games. Thanks a million, brliron!
(Also Validon I apologize if I'm like, irritatingly spastic! AT LEAST WE'RE NOT PLAYING MAFIA. My poor, poor fellow players.)
Validon98:
The spasticness is fiiiiiine. Sometimes I'm like that too not to mention even when I am serious I still can't do well at Mafia ahahaha... I need to join a game again once I get back to college,
Otherwise, I begun the process of redoing all the files as .csvs to fix the encoding errors.
Symbols are back in business!
EDIT: Just a small progress report, but I've entirely converted all the files I've worked on already to the .csv style now, and I'm working on the item.srsdb file again. Just finished doing all the weapon skill descriptions, moving on to the rest of the skills, then going back through and finishing all the item descriptions that have a second page. Only other files I have to work on are the chr.srsdb (which I have to mostly redo), and cond.csv (which has a bunch of descriptions like in DoD, but for the most part most of the names and descriptions aren't displayed in-game, so I can get away with only translating the messages that show when they get inflicted).

New progress post. I find it funny we were talking about extreme jerryrigging before, because I have now had to experience some pretty extreme jerryrigging. So, image files. I tried to edit a couple of them just to see how they get extracted and reinserted. Problem was, while the main img.tarc extracted fine, it wouldn't repack at all and kept getting stuck on the same file. So I turned to the img2.tarc, which I had extracted and repacked earlier as an experiment. Now, the way the image files are repacked is that it takes a .txt, which is a list of all the files, and then matches up the files one for one, altering memory allocation and the like if need be.
Knowing that any duplicate images between img.tarc and img2.tarc will prioritize img2.tarc (and, if it existed, img3.tarc), I decided to test what would happen if I added the files to img2.tarc by adding lines into the img2.txt that got generated pointing to the new files.
Safe to say, it worked out fine. I dunno to what extent I'm allowed to do this, but it definitely works. :V
Serela:
Hah :V Well if it works it works~! Way to go Validon :D
Although...
Looking at that, in the previous games, hasn't Slash been SLA and Strike been STK? Not to mention STR for Strike is slightly goofy when there's STR=Strength XD Not that they're likely to get mixed up given context, but. Font looks rad, though.
Validon98:
Yeah, I forgot to be honest. I can go back through and just find/replace in the files I've been doing. Still a bit to go on item.srsdb (just all the second page descriptions) and chr.srsdb (need to do all the doppel passives), and then a couple more images and possibly some Global.srb editing and then we should be good. 2-3 day home stretch I'd say?
