Oops, that's my fault.
I will translate Cultures 2,3,4
I found a extractor program for Cultures 2 but i do not know how to reimport the files.
Cultures 2:data0001.lib,data0002.lib and t.dat

Cultures 4:data0001.lib and t.dat

The game text,pictures etc. files, it is in .lib file(s),however i uploaded .dat files too, this is in the same folder with the .lib file.

i went ahead and made a start on the demo as the structure has a top-only file list at the start.

**not complete** just a 5-minute pseudocode

Code: Select all

get VER long
get COUNT long
for i = 0 to COUNT
get FILES long
get NLEN long
getdstring NAME NLEN
next i

# then actual files are referenced differently:
# 1387 is the first 'FILES' value
for i = 0 to 1387
get UNKNOWN long # offset?
get NLEN long
getdstring NAME NLEN
get UNKNOWN long # length?
next i

maybe this is enough for someone to take over?
