Hack description
This is a patch for the North American release of Mega Man Battle Network 4 (both Red Sun and Blue Moon versions) that aims to generally improve the quality of the English script while mostly keeping to the original localization decisions. It fixes and improves many lines, the result of a more or less full script comparison with the Japanese text.
This patch revises much of the game's translation, both addressing basic typos and other text mistakes from the original, as well as catching many mistranslations and missing nuances. It also aims to give the text more consistent formatting, including cleaning up a lot of haphazard splitting of dialogue across multiple boxes.
On top of the two game versions, there are two variations of the patch included: the default version, which has Mr. Progs speak normally like in BN1-3, and the PROG (Preserve Resizing Of Glyphs) version, which keeps the localization decision from BN4 onward to have them speak in all-caps.
More details on the types of changes can be found in the Readme.
Also, a few small changes are made to the font: using a larger (2x2-pixel) period character like in MMBN1 and 2, making a new bottom-aligned ellipsis character, and a more normal positioning for the "j."
