An interesting feature of quickbms is the possibility to reimport/reinject the extracted files back in the archives.
It does NOT work with 100% of the scripts and there are some limitations but it's a great alternative to spending hours writing a repacker.

Details in section 3 of quickbms.txt:
http://aluigi.org/papers/quickbms.txt

Sometimes you don't need to reimport or rebuild an archive because probably the game already has the ability to load the files outside the archive.
Other times it's necessary to specify a command-line option to allow that operation.

If all the solutions fail, it's time to use the reimporting mode.

Things to know and limitations:

• you can reinject the files only if they have a size equal or smaller than the original ones
• only the most used compression algorithms are used, like zlib/deflate, lzma, lzo, lzss and many others
• the scripts that dump the file from the memory file (for example for chunked files) are not supported

To use this feature you must:

• make a backup copy of the archive
• extract the files using the necessary script
• edit the files you want to modify
• delete all the files that have not been modified
• double click on reimport.bat
• do the SAME steps you did for extracting the archive.
  Seriously, do the same just like if you are extracting the files to the same folder.
  QuickBMS will do the job automatically
• quickbms will show the names of the files that have been reimported
• try the game with the new archive

Yes, it's really extremely simple.

Hello Luigi Auriemma and congratulation on zenhax

what is the simplest BMS script to compress a single file to .gzip by reimporting ability of Qbms ? just like a file compressor !
(i guess i must define an imaginary extracted archive first)
if you show me such example you will release my obsession .
your sincerely shekofte

So you had a gzip file and you want to extract the content and then reinjecting it, right?

Code:

comtype gzip
get SIZE asize
clog "dump.dat" 0 SIZE SIZE

I don't think that gzip is the best example because it's a format that is already widely supported, like zip

suppose i have a large story.txt file that i just want to compress it as .gzip or other recompression supported algorithms !
how to fully programmaticly read the file and save it as zip extensions ?
is there such facility or trick for doing this ?
i wish there was a command like zlog that is inverse of clog and outputs compressed data !
excuse me if my request is foolish

anyway i am so eager to see some nice examples that you offer ?

Now I undestand what you mean.
Quickbms has the compress algorithms that do just that so if you want to compress a file without instead of reimporting it, you can do it:

Code:

comtype gzip_compress
get SIZE asize
clog "dump.gz" 0 SIZE SIZE

No size limits, it's just a compression and not a reimporting.
If you need a list of supported algorithms take a look at quickbms.txt and search "recompression algorithms".

Currently it's not possible to reimport the files that have been renamed during the extraction.

For example when two files have the same name you can rename the second one manually or automatically with the 'r' choice.

I'm trying to think to some solutions but it's not so easy.

How can I give the script.bms and the files and the output file in the reimport.bat directly without the GUI!

aluigi, posted Mon Feb 15, 2016 5:00 pm (11440)

---

quickbms.exe -r -w script.bms archive.dat folder

The -G option in reimport.bat is an option to force the GUI mode.

Hi,

I would like to make a french translation for the game Zero Escape : Zero Time Dilemma, so I used Quick BMS to extract files. But I saw that I can only reimport if the file have a size equal or smaller than the original ones. But French sentences is bigger than English sentences, so it is a big problem for me. Have you another way to reimporte bigger files ?

Thank you !

It's a problem of physical space, so there is no ready solution except writing a rebuilder from scratch (the format is not complex) or just appending the new content to the file and then modifying the OFFSET and SIZE field in the archive (something that requires manual work but may be easy with the help of quickbms -l -V).

Are you 100% sure that the game isn't able to load the extracted files?
Maybe check that with Process Monitor and the File filter, because often the games work without archives too.

Finaly I made my own rebuilder and it work . It was more easier than I thought.

Please read section 3 of quickbms.txt very carefully:
http://aluigi.org/papers/quickbms.txt

You must select THE SAME input script, input file and output folder you selected during extraction!

@SADEKFCB
Show me the video of the extraction.
The one you linked simply show a possible wrong selection of the folder which is why quickbms can't find the files to reimport.
In case I wasn't clear before:
You must select THE SAME input script, input file and output folder you selected during extraction!

Additionally note that fear.bms is not 100% valid in reimporting because some files are built in memory before being extracted and so reimporting will not work with some files.

I already helped you, the problem is the selection of the folder which is different than the one of the extraction.
It's very easy: extraction steps = reimporting steps.
Nothing else to add.

Hi,
I am working on an italian translation of Undertale, still work in progress, but I want to test out the graphical translation. To decrypt the data file from data.win, I used yoyogames.bms script, which worked as expected, but now I can't encrypt them again in a data.win file.
Any suggestions on which script to run? I've tried reimport.bat but I can't comprehend the use of it. Such a noob I am
Thanks for the great job you're doing.

reimport.bat is very simple and it's explained in section 3 of http://aluigi.org/papers/quickbms.txt

In short you should click on reimport.bat and select the same script, archive (remember to make a backup!), and folder (that now acts as "input") you selected during the extraction.

The following are some rules to increase the chances of a good reimporting:

• in the folder where you extracted the files, keep there only those you edited and delete the others (this is useful mainly for compressed files)
• the edited files (for example graphics in your case) must have a size which is smaller or equal than the originals
• for your translation you are probably going to edit STRG.txt, remember to keep your new strings (each line) shorter/equal than the originals
• in some rare archive formats it's even necessary to keep the new string with the same length of the original, so filling it with spaces, but this is not the case of Undertale probably

If you have other doubts do a search on google with the following keywords because other people had success in modding Undertale and made videos and tutorials:

Code:

Hello

I try to edit some staff in alpine ski racing 2007 game. Sometimes re-importing works, sometimes not. Edit I tried is really simple. For example, I only exchanged one number for another or something like that.
When re-importing is not working, mostly, I got this message:

Last script line before the error or that produced error:
26 clog NAME OFFSET ZSIZE SIZE


Please, any ideas how to solve this?
Thank you so much
