Archivarious supposed to handle that part originally.
I don't know how to read a python code, but it seems that it has some problems with parsing blp file, with new blp format.

My bad, I disabled the blp parsing part since there is rare error with unpacking files because of it. It's re-enabled in attached version. Swap seems to work fine, although I doesn't tested it with game.

yeah,i want to know how it link blp because it linked wrong offset sometime. So the files maybe packed but tool think they're unpacked.......

Meanwhile, the workaround is either rename or remove the .blp file before extracting files with archivarius.

Preset for FX that sharpens and adjusts color a little.

it works fine, but it seems that you didn't reversed key values in blp and lnk.

is there an easier way to write new DLC packages? or do i need to write a tool for that?

I'm currently working on DLC Tool.

has anyone been collecting the encrypted and unencrpyted file names?

Archivarius' database is only source for this information as far as I know. Note that some files listed there with blank names.

Kind of stupid to ask, but what do I do with the information that i've just "copied to clipboard" insert it into the LR archivarius?

DLC Tool adapted to PC Format. Apart from previous requirements (listed here: viewtopic.php?p=101431#p101431):
[*]DLC name must be only numerical.
[*]Corresponding entry must be added to steam_api.ini (e.g. for DLC 112233 it would be DLC00*=112233 (* = any free number)).

I only changed keys search algorithm without looking to other parts of code (handling of endianness was added by mikulover39). Maybe later.

Just open doa5LRarchivarius.dat with any text editor and paste it.

I thought DLC_tool was just a tool for changing hairstyles until now. :mrgreen:

Now I've understood.

I tried to edit chara_common.
game.exe had some sort of blp part and I editied it.
but with some error, game.exe didn't worked.

will it be possible to edit game.exe?

yeah I tried also, its steam that returns the error. if it was the game dialog then it would be some kind of security from doa5. but since its steam i think it apart of steam security. probably a server side checksum. I'm curious if anyone's tried using a pirated version if its the same problem?

Rosalin · **Posted:** Sun Apr 05, 2015 5:19 pm

Well.. I got both of them..
It doesn't work even without internet connection.

Few bug fixes for DLC Tool.

loriscangini · **Posted:** Sun Apr 05, 2015 6:10 pm

Maybe I'm missing something, is there a way to open the TMC models from the PC version?

SkacikPL · **Posted:** Sun Apr 05, 2015 7:20 pm

So would it be possible to unpack original textures/models and rework them in higher quality and then put them back in game with current toolset?

Character textures are not that bad, but environments cry for a texture rework.

Ok, so I tried this as well. Same problems on & offline.

I also tried doing a basic offset swap by switching costumes but keeping compressed sizes. No error codes, but the game crashes. So in summary, if game.exe is modified OR references files that don't match listed sizes found in the .lnk it chokes.

Not yet, both are still a work in progress

That's provided with the less-than-legal versions.

sf234 · **Posted:** Mon Apr 06, 2015 6:11 am

Fixed in doa5LRarchivarius:
Errors when extracting some files.
Errors when there is .blp file (doesn't need to be renamed/removed now).
Swap function.

As SkacikPL have said, it's only for cracked steam_api.dll/steam_api.ini.
