Maintenance updates on points generally thought too subtle

Subtle maintenance (mainly about improving loading time between scene transition)

Direct X 11 compatibility is up!
We need testers to see if the loading time is all OK or not on more modern systems like windows 11.

xmas update


After this point, the direction of the project *should* be heading to forging Gorgon releases, which shall have more extended rebalancing/external features (if everything is OK in Catoblepas releases). Still cannot figure out the valid idea for an Alucard main mode.
If any bug/ oversight had been found in the current releases, any plan of "Gorgon" releases would be in halt until they're fixed up in "Catoblepas" releases.

Another problem is the reworked keyboard event principle did not share keyboard key mapping in the same group as controller key mapping group. But the potential risk is overlap in Global Values and compatibility if it's going to use the same standard as key mapping event in Chronicles of the Wolf.

Too bad there's a problem with JPN font format that had to be addressed through a small update. But that's to be expected since some (unfortune) computers just cannot hold Japanese font system together.

In fact it's possible to give more variations to font, but for text length concerns and consistency to source I ditched original idea and make the JPN font pixel perfect.

CHS font also shares the tweaks with JPN font.

We've grinded a bit more about the possibility of LC2's structure and we don't know if the changes will impact too far to the original design idea. Regardless, this will be one of the final stretches in Reworking of LC2 for a pretty long time!

Because the capability of adding enemy descriptions to LC2, the translation of enemy descriptions is in the process.

LC1 & LC2 REWORK

https://github.com/katriellucas/lecarde-2/releases/tag/1.4.3

logs:
- Added translated enemy bestiary.
- In-depth maintenances to texts.
- Bugfixes to more minor issues are still working on but will be left for later revisions to ensure the fix is 100% valid. It's tied to too many things in important action parameter events that for some reason the Reworked edition screwed them up.

From this point on, the project will go into soft-frozen state. No updates of functions will be proceeded unless bugs/translation issues are caught or reported.  I will turn my sight to another project currently going strong...

So it's pretty unfortune that issues and requests keep coming out but the only thing I had is patient.

The (most likely) last function-wise addition to the reworked game based on player feedback - A system config menu in equipment screen so that players won't have to lose current progress in order to change key mapping or languages.

I'm extremely sorry but the text format had been changed yet another time, Minor but necessary to let it not bugged after the inclusion of capability to change language in the midst of stage exploring.

As a side effect to this, I cannot guarantee if the item pickup display window fits 100% on every other language like in pre-1.4.6 versions. (Now all languages must use the same item pickup display text box size for compatibility reason)

LC2 community edition get rid of 1 annoyance detail that will cause confusions in extreme conditions at title screen/system config by repeatedly pressing the same function key.

[Aceearly1993]

The reworked game had very good reception in Simplified Chinese community so far!

The fixes to action events in main branch is finally ended in peace and proven sufficient. I will make any further addon frozen in place until if there's any request allocated me.

We had a chance to redo the character mugshot graphics where the original edition was having problems with them (in original, they were cropped instead of properly sprited)

But I shouldn't grind my comrade in this case because he has his own life schedules.

If any of you guys could do very large mugshot sprites, allocate me for more details.
