I'm trying to translate this game. Do you know where text is located, I cant find it.

Aes key for the archives in case you need it.

There is a PSP archive in game files. I was thinking maybe text is in there. I tried replacing files there with localised version, but no luck, it didn't do anything. Maybe I did something wrong or maybe text is somewhere else.

Crisis core final fantasy VII discimg.pkg tool.rar

In the system.bin file there is a text

Tools dedicated to pkg for PSP version of Crisis Core are not compatible with PKG in Reunion version.

discimg_jefigs.pkg has dialogues ( other assets), system_jefigs.bin has other texts ( other assets).

I have made tools for Switch version of game, I guess it should work with PC version too.
Edit: Acutally on PC there are no discimg_jefigs.pkg and system_jefigs.bin, they are discimg.pkg and system.bin. So either rename files or edit scripts

Here you have Python 3 pkg unpacker, just put it into the same folder with discimg_jefigs.pkg and run it
https://github.com/masagrator/NXGameScr ... npacker.py

Here you have packer. From ongoing tests seems to work fine, it reproduces discimg_jefigs.pkg with original files 1:1 if no settings are edited. Provide folder with files unpacked via pkg_unpacker.py as argument, files must have names that have been originally assigned by pkg_unpacker.py
for example in cmd:

Code:

python pkg_packer.py unpacked

and it will create discimg_jefigs.pkg in "Discimg" folder where you had run pkg_packer.py
https://github.com/masagrator/NXGameScr ... _packer.py

Here you have system_jefigs.bin unpacker, put it to the same folder with system_jefigs.bin and run (it will unpack files to "system" folder):
https://github.com/masagrator/NXGameScr ... npacker.py

And packer (ongoing tests work fine), usage is the same as for pkg packer:
https://github.com/masagrator/NXGameScr ... _packer.py

Both are storing files in formats similar to what was used in PSP (Atel, MBD), but with slight changes. Though figuring those changes is in work by other people.

iirc PC version has signed paks. So you cannot use new paks, game will just refuse to load any unsigned pak and any repacked pak will crash game. Somebody made already mod loader for this game? Luckily enough, Switch version has unsigned paks.

Thanks a lot, It works great. I don't know much about paks stuff. Were Final Fantasy VII paks also signed? You could just create ~mods folder and put unsigned paks there.

I have found some tools for the PSP version https://github.com/Yoti/psp_cc-ffvii. But like you said formats are different, so they don't work.

No.


Somebody already found a way to disable sig check.

Thanks, but after unpacking we have 8727 .dat files, does anyone know which one contains the text?

Is there any progress on this?
I would appreciate any help.

Robinbalamb on openff7r discord promised to share the text tool, but no word from him yet.

Updated script to try to determine file type when unpacking, and packer will accept any file type now.
search for ".atel" and ".mbd" files. Though some .dat files are archives that also contain atel and mbd, but they don't have magic, only header with file table, so it's not possible to determine its type.
