Hi. I am trying to access the text files of the game "Outer Worlds" using "quickbms".
When I use "unreal_tournament_4.bms" I get the error "Error: the compressed zlib/deflate input is wrong or incomplete (-3)" and "Error: uncompressed data (-1) bigger than allocated buffer (65536)".
I found another .bms file "unreal_tournament_4_0.4.23.1a.bms". This unpacks the file "PL-WindowsNoEditor.pak" into the files "Text_pl.uexp" and "Text_pl.uasset". OK.
But if I want to create a new .pak file from these files, an error occurs during reimport: "Error: incomplete input file 0: D:\ ...\Text_pl.uexp ... Can't read 8 bytes from offset 00db1000 ..."
I think I'm using the wrong bms script. But I couldn't find another one. But maybe he could use a script from another game running on Unreal version 4.21 (v8).
Do you know of any game running on Unreal 4.21 (v8) that has a .bms script?.
(Sorry - Google Translate)

Good work! It's a text-heavy game, how many of you did it translate?
I know it has to work! My "I'll try your procedure" I wondered if I could do it. After some trouble I finally got to point 9 - Bamm, test it! So everything is OK.
Maybe there will be problems with fonts. Czech has specific characters. Pangram: "Prilis zlutoucky kun upel dabelske ody".
Thank you once again!

Hungarian has special characters too - but not as many as Chech language.
As I saw then this font table is compatible with so many character tables.

I didn't translate the whole game - just tried out my translating method.

As I mentioned in other topic - there's method to change font table in UE4 archives.
Maybe it could help: https://www.bnsbuddy.com/threads/mod-jp-font-for-na-eu.2591/

So we have the same thing! I also don't want to translate this game. I was looking for that procedure for someone else who would like to try to translate it. I once tried to translate a small, short game, and it was a pain. It is for very patient and hardworking people. Thanks for that link. I tried the Czech pangram instead of "Press any key" and all the specific letters were there, which pleasantly surprised me!

It's a really good news and I'm glad I could help
