v9.0

• Updated for game version 2.3.0 -- All strings added and/or changed with the update have been adjusted as necessary
  
• Names in the Credits are now edited to match the mod's updated names
  
  On an extra note, I also plan to release a JAPI Edition of the mod in the hopeful near-future to help increase compatibility with other mods that edit the messageInfo files, once I get better documentation on it.

v8.0

• Updated for game version 2.2.0 -- All strings added and/or changed with the update have been adjusted as necessary
  
• Shortened "Parallel World Diego" to "P.W. Diego" in certain menus

v7.0

• Updated for game version 2.1.0 -- All strings added and/or changed with the update have been adjusted as necessary

v6.0

• Updated for game version 2.0.0 -- All strings added and/or changed with the update have been adjusted as necessary
  
• Completely redid the custom UI name textures, now using 'Hourei' font rather than 'Kakurei' (both by Fontworks). Unlike Kakurei, which was "close-enough" to the vanilla style, Hourei *is* the font used in vanilla
  ** Additionally, I've also tweaked the appearance of the outline/glow on the custom character select name textures to more closely match their vanilla counterparts
  
• Updated all instances of 'C-Moon' to 'C-MOON' (all uppercase)
  
• Changed "Io Capito" to "Ho capito."
  
• Reversed the "mammone" change from v1.2 -- it feels more unnecessary than anything, and I doubt I'm gonna get that label texture done anytime soon
  
• Replaced instances of "starts in" with "starts with" in All-Star Battle Mode mission special conditions where appropriate (ie. when referring to Stand evolutions instead of Mode changes)
  
• Made minor adjustments to some previous edits

v5.0

• Updated for game version 1.6.0 -- All strings added and/or changed with the update have been adjusted as necessary
  
• Fixed erroneous 'ACT' in Koichi's "3 Freeze" moves and strings
  
• Fixed inconsistent names for a Trish move in secret missions

v4.0

• Updated for game version 1.5.0 -- All strings added and/or changed with the update have been adjusted as necessary
  
• Changed 'steamroller' to 'road roller'
  
• Fixed a missing instance of 'Wilson' for Senator Wilson Phillips
  
• Fixed inconsistent names for an Esidisi move in secret missions

v3.0

• Updated for game version 1.4.0 -- All strings added and/or changed with the update have been adjusted as necessary
  
• New name changes:
  ** 'See Moon' -> 'C-Moon'
  ** 'Maiden Heaven' -> 'Made in Heaven'
  
• Fixed several instances of uncapitalized 'ACTs'

v2.1

• Updated message_DLC130 to account for quiet changes introduced with Steam build 9742549

v2.0

• Updated for game version 1.3.0 -- All strings added and/or changed with the update have been adjusted as necessary
  
• New name changes:
  ** 'Metallic' --> 'Metallica'
  ** 'The Asian' --> 'Kempo Fighter'
  
• Included a copy of the base-game messageInfo file for legacy purposes
  
• Dev: shifted the tool I use for importing/exporting over from a Cheat Engine Lua script to nucc_binary_parser -- This should hopefully make updating the mod from a new major version easier from here on out

v1.2

• Fixed a missed instance of 'Purple Smoke' (it was spelt "Purple's Smoke's")
  
• Changed instances of "mammoni" to "mammone" ("mammone" is singular, "mammoni" is plural)
  ** The "mammoni" on Prosciutto+Pesci style tag in the charsel menu is currently unchanged while I work out what font is used for those
  
• Changed a lone instance of "Noriaki" to "Kakyoin" for consistency
  
• Fixed non-captialised instances of "Stand"
  
• Adjusted positioning of custom name tag textures to better match their vanilla counterparts

v1.1a

• Fixed StoneMask screwing up again and not clearing the previously-selected texture to import (fixed Pucci bein labelled as Foo Fighters in the character selection menu)

v1.1

• Fixed an error where I accidentally changed an instance of "Stone Ocean" (the title) to "Stone Free"
  
• Adjusted the shading on the custom character selection name tag textures to better match the vanilla ones
  
• Altered Kars' in-battle name tag for his GHA from "Ultimate Life Form" to "Ultimate Thing" for consistency (in-series title: アルティメット・シイング / "Arutimetto shiingu")

v1.0a

• Credit to ThunderMite42 on GameBanana for alerting me of the following issues:
  ** Missed 'Diver Drive' (somehow)
  ** Missed 'Loggs'
  ** Missed 'Tonio Trendy'
  ** Missed 'Sky Guy'

Installation
Unlike the original ASB release, adding mods to ASBR is exceptionally easier.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS:

1. See that folder in the archive that starts with "Extract"? Do exactly what it tells you to.
   
2. If prompted to overwrite existing files, do so.

That's it. That's literally it.

Assuming you didn't massively screw up, all you need to do is launch the game to
verify that the files are loading correctly.

All sources for the definitive names come from the JoJo Wiki[jojowiki.com] and its own sources (JoJo6521, JOJO A-GO!GO!, JOJOVELLER, etc.)

NOTE
Some technical name changes are not listed here, due to being overly simple trimmings/removals of words such as "The".











[1] "Father Pucci" is still used in contexts where a character would refer to him that way
[2] "F.F." is still used when characters use it as a nickname for the user, and for F.F. Shots + "Move like F.F."
[3] Most instances of "D4C" are left unchanged, specifically areas where either Valentine says it, or in certain menus for brevity

Q: How do I install this mod?
A: ...Read the mod pages, dork.

Q: Will I get banned for using this?
A: No. Use of the data_win32 folder does not trigger EAC or any other anti-cheat in any form.

Q: Why is <character X> named this way? I've seen them named differently in other sources.
A: As mentioned above, this mod is explicitly following romanizations provided by official media.

Some scanslations and fansubs, for example, use names spelt directly after what their reference. A common example of this is with the Pillar Men: Esidisi becomes "ACDC", Wamuu becomes "Wham", and Kars becomes "Cars".

The above-linked JoJo Wiki article details the hows and whys, gives tables for each variable name detailing both their official one, the sources for it, and a list of known variants stating where they came from.

Q: Will you change <line X> to say <line Y> like it did in the anime/manga?
A: This is a name-fix mod, not a localization-fix mod. The goal is to reverse licensing-based changes. Over the past few years between the creation of my patch for the original ASB and now, I've grown more of a fondness for Woolseyisms[tvtropes.org].

The only lines I've changed outside of ones with names in them is "Like hell I will" to "I refuse", and nothing more.

Q: Will you port this mod to languages other than English?
A: I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with other languages to do a sufficient job with something like this.

That being said, I don't mind forks of this mod being made for other languages.
