Cethleann - The Koei Swiss Army Knife

[Yretenai]

Cethleann now can also extract any LINKDATA pair (.IDX and .BIN file) by providing --idx and --bin values to Koei.DataExporter's arguments
i.e. for Dragon Quest Heroes you would call

Code: Select all

Koei.DataExporter.exe --idx LINKDATA --bin LINKDATA "InstallDir" "ExportDir"

Cethleann now can also extract RDB files from both Windows (Dead or Alive 6, Romance of the Three Kingdoms 14) and Switch (Persona 5 Scramble) using the new Softness.DataExporter.exe tool.

Code: Select all

Softness.DataExporter.exe -g Scramble ExportDir DirectoryWithRDBs

It's important to pass "-g GameId" when exporting RDBs as files have hashed filenames. Currently I only have a partial Dead or Alive 6 filelist (from rdbtool)

the unbundle with dissidia nt outputs some .wav files from the .sed files but the wav format is not playable with anyting I have, anyone know how to decode it or conver it?

The wav files are MSADPCM streams, VLC can play it, as can PotPlayer. However the tool can convert these to normal WAV files. Do not run the unbundler with --pcm if you want it converted to 16-bit PCM. The default is enabled so invoking that option will disable the functionality.

If all else fails, try vgmstream as that has support for SED files now.

Got it, thx

EDIT:

Ok, this was weird, if you try to play the previous example the voice is all jumbled, like if someone was speaking inside a metal pipe and all audio was being unbundled like that, even playing them from the sed file gave me just a bunch of weird voices in every media player.

I'm not sure what happened but I suspect it the culprit was overwriting previous versions of your tool, all I've been doing is getting the latest release and unzipping the new files over the old ones and then this started happening, after a fresh unzipping from the latest release to a new folder everything extracted fine.

does the sed file start with im_?

does the sed file start with im_?

Not sure, all I see is a bunch of wav files with numeric values but playing the im_ sed files seem to all sound like that

sed files starting with im_ are "impostor" sound files, used by AI
the normal VOX starts with p_

So I'm trying to extract the files from Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends, but doesn't seem to be working for me... even tho I put the right directory in. Don't ask how or why the date for those files say 12/12/1999, even I don't know xD



update:
got it to work, but with issues

DW8 has the same problem as DW9. IDK when I'll have those fixed.

Thanks for a awesome tool.

I asked a question because it was listed in the --game option. Is DOAXVV supported?
