BG1 Game Text Update

[skellytz]

BGT includes modified BG1 text strings with updates from Baldurdash and Ascension64 (bgt/install/english). Like many things introduced in early versions of BGT, some of these changes may be considered arbitrary, redundant or spurious. WinMerge will come in handy to catch and revise those.

Some non-dialogue string patches (creature names, item descriptions, etc.) may also need to be added to the fixpack section of the TP2 as they won't work unless specified with STRING_SET, eg 'doppleganger' vs 'doppelganger'. (Such changes will later also be suggested as additions to BG2 Fixpack).

I have my own GTU for BG1/TotSC which was created as part of the BG1 Fixpack. The one currently released to the public is an older version though. A few changes have been made since then.

Due to the SHS Forum being down, I am not able to update the topic with the final part of my BG1.TRA review, so I am going to do it here, although the bulk of the report can only be accessed via SHS Forum, unfortunately.

I wanted to point out that my local BG1.TRA differs and is somewhat much more exhaustive (lots of minor punctuation changes have not been reported to save me from a too lengthy and tedious documentation job) but also somewhat controversial in semi-arbitrary changes I introduced. The item and spell descriptions have all been updated locally but using the format applied in my EE-Style BG2 GTU so that's also something that's been left out.

Just in case though, I attach here my local BG1.TRA for reference.
