You need to write a tool to extract them. The format is simple: filename hash, offset, size - for every sound.

I have no time or experience to parse utf-8 strings, so i just replaced 0xD to 0xF0 and 0xA to 0xF1. If the source file will contain either of these bytes, it will not work.

This is exporter/importer. If the parameter is txt file, it will do import. If it is ".strings", it will do export.

We have a problem with special characters. Some lines contain "next line" characters and when converted to txt or xls it will be impossible to leave them. I need to replace them with something.

The list is sorted by hash value.

Ok, I will try export/import thought I doubt about this utf-8 encoding and how it may work. Also I can see no files with "double FF". Can you send me those? Did you find dialogue text? Because if you didn't, there's no use in this repacker. p.s. another strange thing, different language fi...

The tool will do it automatically for all text lines.

To make longer texts, we have these options:

- you edit it in hex, and I make a tool that recalculate and update the offsets.
- make a tool to fully export texts (to what format?) and import them back

Very first and temporary solution for repacking. Unpack the strings again, and the tool will additionally make a file "data.bin" that contains some unknown info that we need to put back into the package. Then change english strings (don't change its size yet!) and pack back with bitsquid_s...

ok, i will now try some tests. Packing only one file - english, will be easier, and maybe this is all we need.

update: interesting, it worked. Now I'm gonna make a tool that will pack one "english strings" file into package and you try it.

And there are lots of files in it

What are these files? All strings or something else?

Ok. Well, at least I can say you can't write longer or smaller strings in it, because that "random stuff in the beginning" are all string offsets, and they need to be changed for that.

That's what I was asking about. So these unicode characters will be enough for your language?

So you think you can edit text to the language you need using 1-byte encoding in one of the languages they have here and fonts they use in game?

If you think you can change these files for your purposes, I can try and pack it back.

New version. (old post updated) Multi-language files have the same name inside the package. So I decide to unpack them adding "version" flag at the end. This will not correspond to languages, just some special flag. Some files have multiple flags set. I don't know what it means. Look at th...
