The spacing may be wrong though at the moment so feedback is requested. According to wildhawk word-wrap is not really used in Korean.
Fixed bug where large (eg Chinese) fonts cause screen corruption after a few chapters (thanks to Hu Huaizheng for this information). 'Guest' Splash and Cover Screens designed by Kyle Fallis. New progress bar shows making-book progress. Bug relating to inserting bitmap, where last line disappears or is repeated, is fixed. Option to use a single NEWLINE as a paragraph separator. #Bookreader advance code
When selecting font, all supported code pages are shown. Option to indent paragraphs (see middle Korean example above).
Option to 'fix header' if you supply the header data. Option not to increase size to next biggest ROM size. Allows colour pictures to be included in text (see above). Removes 'Not Registered' message from Makebook and ROMs. #Bookreader advance registration
Added Registration - most of the advantages are on GBA. Auto increment target name when defining links and targets. Automatic setting on indent Tool button for target - logic improved. Bookmarks and Index from Select button. Thanks to Pär Moberg for the original script. NSIS based Installer/uninstaller added - Just run the file gbbook.exe which you download. Added automatic font codepage selection on opening text file. Fixed unnecessary monochrome bitmap height check in 'Advance'. Prevented repeat addition of midi file. Prevented repeat addition of bitmap if registered. Fixed number of newlines persistance bug. Hebrew text support, with right to left characters and combining characters. (another setting for registered users) SRAM contents ignored - requested for use with cartridge with defective sram. Changes in music fade out first tune instead of cutting it off abruptly. You can now define 'background' music (midi) for: - splash screens - cover - any range of lines in the book. Fixed bugs caused by Pitch Bend, System Exclusive, and Aftertouch messages. Midi's improved (corresponds to pogoshell midi plug-in V0.91). (Midi functions below for registered users.). Note: more testing needed, consider Arabic support as beta. Arabic Codepage 1256 support (using 16 pixel high font) - right to left reading - automatic presentation character substitution (corresponds to unicode rules R1-R7) - mandatory arabic ligatures automatically substituted (corresponds to unicode rules L1-元) - transparent characters implemented. Default cursor position is now middle of screen. #Bookreader advance full
Persistant settings - cursor mode and full screen mode settings preserved from session to session. The progress indicator now also shows positions of each book (volume) within the set of books. Colour options modified - some schemes have 'Windows' style bars. Added option not to show cover (registered version). Added MIDI and hyperlink support to registered Chinese/Japanese/Korean versions. Total engine size shrunk to 29% of previous version. Converted splash screens to use jpeg (85% smaller). Added support for JPEG pictures in book. Added Hebrew scroll bar (thanks to Yotam Ofek). Added text compression option (approaching 2:1). Error messages relating to images improve. Now identifies reason and filename for jpeg failure. Font editor allows any font height (6-16) for gba (but not gameboy). 'Can't find font file' message names file. 'Can't find jpeg file' message names file. 'Can't find bitmap file' message names file. Index tool no longer overwrites selected text. Partly fixed bar on/off picture size problem (scroll down amount not correct for current picture, after switching bars on and off - still occurs when switching cursor mode on/off). Fixed bug in compression which on some files displayed rubbish.
A final piece of information is that (on the new version) turning off the light will more than double battery life. With the light on the new version will run for 73% longer than the older one. With the light off, the new version will run for more than 2 1/2 times longer than the older one.
Import Functons for BMP (for font generation), HTML, RTF and PDF. Bug fix for extra newlines added during text import functions. If it looks ok in Notepad it will still make a good book ROM. #Bookreader advance windows
Please note that on some versions of Windows in China, and other non-Western countries, the text file will look like rubbish. For Traditional Chinese at 12 pixel height, select font f_trad_ch12.gbf. 16 pixel high is a real alternative with the larger Advance screen. In this version Arabic Users should use the 16 pixel high font, Chinese/Japanese/Hebrew users should use the 12 or 16 pixel high fonts, Korean users should be able to use any font, and most other users can pick any.
