16 of the 17 pages with an empty slot 4 belong to MSG_DEMO_600..604, whose
caption text matches, word for word, the five resupply lines documented from the
movie side as VOICE_D_450..454. Slot 4 is empty on purpose: that audio binds
through the movie path, not through a DEMO_nnn cue.
That also disposes of the '5 ids with more than one record' item -- each appears
once per stage that uses it, and the repeat counts equal the movie-slot counts
recorded independently for the matching banks: 3/3/4/4/2 both ways, 5 of 5. The
11 extra records over 138 ids are these repeats.
Worth more than closing two items: the cutscene message table and the movie
subtitle chain were decoded from different containers by different routes and
agree on the same five lines with the same multiplicities.
MSG_DEMO_500 remains: one page, KATANA, 2s, no text and no cue.
dat/tables.pak holds a 5798-entry SOUNDS record (cue name -> sound id) and a
5135-entry FILES record (.slb bank paths). Cue names are the join key, so a
script message id now resolves all the way to the bank that voices it:
MSG_VOICE_D_257 -> VOICE_D_257 -> 6945 -> jpn\etc\VOICE_D_257.slb.
The prefix rule is MSG_ -> VOICE_, not strip-MSG_. My first rule was the
latter; it left 88 names unresolved and I was about to write those families up
as text-only announcements, until VOICE_TCAF_592.slb turned up in FILES and
refuted it. Corrected rule resolves 1326 of 1338, and SOUNDS and FILES agree on
exactly the same 12 absentees.
Separately, MSG_DEMO_* is driven by its own IDXD tables in the language packs,
which carry speaker, portrait, on-screen seconds and audio cue per page. Field
count is 9*PageCount+2 for all 7 distinct PageCounts; 1252/1252 caption-key
slots match <ID>_<page>_<line>; the 78 multi-page records equal the 78 counted
independently from the caption side; 138 ids close exactly against the caption
table both ways.
Does not settle the known VOICE_D_452 wrong-recording case -- every cue id is
distinct, so bank sharing is not happening at this layer.
