BN6; making OW message editing easier

At the request of mega rock.exe, I made a Java program that makes converting text into cheat format for the editing of overworld messages less tedious.
Here's the link.
How it works: you input a start offset and some text, and it outputs the text in this format:
8202DDCA 321D
8202DDCC 3126
8202DDCE 0031
8202DDD0 2A1E
8202DDD2 3938
8202DDD4 3298
8202DDD6 382A
8202DDD8 2638
8202DDDA 2A2C


Or, when in debug-mode:

Small Test-message
S <- m = 8202DDCA 321D
a <- l = 8202DDCC 3126
l <- = 8202DDCE 0031
T <- e = 8202DDD0 2A1E
s <- t = 8202DDD2 3938
- <- m = 8202DDD4 3298
e <- s = 8202DDD6 382A
s <- a = 8202DDD8 2638
g <- e = 8202DDDA 2A2C


Here's how to use it;
Obviously, unpack the zip first.
Then open a command prompt and browse to the folder with the unpacked .class-file. (or run a .bat-file in the folder with the only contents 'cmd' without the quotes)
This is the input format:

java CheatStringMaker (-d) [offset] [text | filename]

The following lines produce the two examples above:
java CheatStringMaker 8202DDCA Small Test-message
java CheatStringMaker -d 8202DDCA Small Test-message

You can also enter the path of a text-file containing the text;
java CheatStringMaker 8202DDCA somemessage.txt

Here's the full list of supported characters:
format: input code = hex code = character

Alright! This is totally working. I have managed to perfectly convert a message that has a new box and a new speaker. It looks great and seems to have no errors!

You just have to make a .bat file with the instructions. When the program is open, type in the default commands, java CheatStringMaker (-d) [offset] [text]
Push Enter and it will generate the cheats.

search for a program that can run Java files. like Java RunTime(something like that).

I kinda wish instead of a .java he uploaded it to a site and embedded it into there so we could do it online instead of using a java program, but oh well.

You can use text files to convert. That might be simpler for you.

Why can't you just make the .bat file with the correct contents?

Open Notepad and save it as [filename] .bat
Just add the extension to the name when saving.
