Valkyria Chronicles 3 re-translation

RE: Valkyria Chronicles 3 re-translation
This patch modifies the ISO to change the original texture data - which is in many cases encoded as "GIM" images and compressed using "CRILAYLA". I extracted these images, modified them, and then recompressed them so they'd fit on the ISO in the same space.

This naturally changes the hashes, because they are different textures now.

This technique doesn't work as well for HD textures, because HD textures take a lot more space (for example, 1080p textures would take 16 times as much memory.) That breaks the game's logic, since it's not expecting the textures data it manages to be so large. That's why HD texture replacement is usually done outside the game code.
