Hi guys, I would like to open and edit the localization files of this game, I did a quick search and found some information, perhaps the game uses compression and encryption on files, i found references on zlib and lzma inside the .exe file.
A .bms file for use with quickbms would be perfect.
Here is the .exe file, a language file and a gametable file.
If any of you could give me any kind of help it would be perfect.
Thx.

Update1: I created a dump with Windows, searched for some text and found two sections, one has all the "clean" text, one instead each word is divided between 6 specific bytes.

Update2: each .dat file starts with a fixed sequence of 14 bytes (some files may have a different first byte), I also found an LZ4 section.

Update3: the game files are identical to those of the Switch version.

Yeah, I need it, too. A quickbms script would be great.

Do you know how to uncompress the file with lz4? I tries using lz4 mentioned in official square enix page for Tactics Ogre reborn
https://www.square-enix-games.com/en_GB/documents/tactics-ogre-reborn-pc-installer-software-and-associated-plug-ins-disclosure but failed.
There's also other compression method mentioned in that page (section IX zstd / New BSD License), which is zstd : https://github.com/facebook/zstd.

Text files and others have an encryption system, I found something useful here on github https://github.com/Asvel/tacticsogre-datamining but unfortunately I couldn't create the .exe files or use the scripts, in these days I keep trying.

Files can be decrypted with this tool. Texts can also be unpacked and packed. https://github.com/gibbed/Gibbed.LetUsClingTogether
