Does this work for the main game too as in translation? Or just the DLCs?

[JonhOliver]

Tools for edit game files inside archives will not be because files inside compressed with ugly method. This tool created in order to unlock DLC's basically.

Seems yes. Because files inside BIG not all compressed as well as always check header. If PCQM need decompress else simple read.
