Issue running .exe about vntranslationtools

[arcusmaximus]

VNTextPatch requires Excel to be installed when working with .xlsx files.

If you can't/don't want to install Excel, you can specify a folder instead of an .xlsx file as the extraction target. The tool will then create .txt files. However, these are only minimally supported: you can't have the original and the translation side by side, you can't add comments, line breaks in the original (or in the translation) will mess things up and so on.

Thanks, got it to work! Much appreciated.

Any idea how to get italics to work in BGI, and otherwise edit fonts?

I'm not aware of any control codes in BGI for this. You may be able to get it working with VNTextProxy from this repository instead. It can make VN engines use an arbitrary font (even one that's not installed on the user's machine), as well as pick up special markers in the text and toggle bold/italic/underline accordingly.

The markers are added by VNTextPatch, but currently only for a few script formats not including BGI. You can look at SystemNnnBaseScript.cs for an example if you want to try it yourself.
