If you want to edit the files use a hex editor, it's the easiest way.

Some research

Code:

gar_header {
    uint8_t  magic1[4];  // "GAR5"
    uint32_t unknown;    // 00000020 sizeof(stb_header)?
    uint8_t  magic2[4];  // "STB\x05"
}
stb_header {
    uint32_t source_count;

    uint32_t column_count;
    uint32_t row_count;
    uint32_t source_table_offset;

    uint32_t column_table_offset;
    uint32_t id_table_offset;
}
// @stb_header.source_table_offset

    filepath {
        uint16_t length;
        uint8_t  buffer[length];  // char[], not 0-terminated
    }
    filetime {  // swapped FILETIME (rounded)
        uint32_t hi;

}    
// @stb_header.column_names_offset

And you can use this script ???

It's not script, just structure of localization file for devs.

Just for fun, the following is a simple adapting of the information provided by michalss to bms (yeah quickbms can handle many C and pseudo-code structures):

Code:

#gar_header {
    uint8_t  magic1[4];  // "GAR5"
    uint32_t unknown;    // 00000020 sizeof(stb_header)?
    uint8_t  magic2[4];  // "STB\x05"

#stb_header {
    uint32_t source_count;
    uint32_t unknown;   // 00000000
    uint32_t column_count;
    uint32_t row_count;
    uint32_t source_table_offset;
    uint32_t column_names_offset;
    uint32_t column_table_offset;
    uint32_t id_table_offset;

// @stb_header.source_table_offset
#source_table[stb_header.source_count] {
goto source_table_offset
for i = 0 < source_count
    #filepath {
        uint16_t length;
        uint8_t  buffer[length];  // char[], not 0-terminated
    #filetime {  // swapped FILETIME (rounded)
        uint32_t hi;
        uint32_t lo;
next i

// @stb_header.id_table_offset
#id_table {
goto id_table_offset
    uint32_t size;  // stb_header.row_count * sizeof(uint32_t)
    uint32_t offset;
    // @id_table.offset
    uint32_t ids[row_count];  // DJB2 hash?

// @stb_header.column_names_offset
#column_names {
goto column_names_offset
    #names[stb_header.column_count] {
for i = 0 < column_count
        uint32_t size;    // includes terminating 0
        uint32_t offset;  // buffer
next i
    uint8_t *buffer #[];  // char[], 0-terminated

// @stb_header.column_table_offset
goto column_table_offset
#column_table[stb_header.column_count] {
for i = 0 < column_count
    uint32_t string_table_size;
    uint32_t string_table_offset;
    uint32_t symbol_table_size;
    uint32_t symbol_table_offset;

    savepos TMP
#string_table[stb_header.column_count] {
    // @column_table[].string_table_offset
    goto string_table_offset
    #strings {
        int32_t  seq_start[row_count];  // index into sequences, -1 = empty
        do
            uint16_t sequences  #[];                      // indices into symbols, 0-terminated
        while sequences != 0

    // @column_table[].symbol_table_offset
    goto symbol_table_offset
    #symbols[] {
        uint16_t child;   // index into symbols
        uint16_t symbol;  // wchar_t
    #}

next i

But look what I got, I mixed the first and the last script code and quickbms campaign realized that it is in the archive on the command line issued by how many languages ??packed well, or reaped here who can finalize ???? if possible !!!

Code:

idstring "GAR5"

get INFO_OFF long
get DATA_OFF long

goto STR_OFF
for i = 0 < STRINGS
    get STRSZ long
    get OFFSET long

    savepos TMP
    goto OFFSET
    getdstring STR STRSZ
    goto TMP
    print "%STR%"
next i

goto NAME_OFF
for i = 0 < FILES
    get NAMESZ short
    getdstring NAME NAMESZ
    get TSTAMPH long
    get TSTAMPL long
    putarray 0 i NAME
next i

goto INFO_OFF

    get SIZE long
    get OFFSET long
    getarray NAME 0 i
    log NAME OFFSET SIZE

@michalss
You already did something on the format, do you want to finish the work on the script?
I don't know what should be the output because it's not a file to extract.

Hi, i need help with the packing w_strings.csv to w_strings.bin of the Risen 3,
or any edit way to edit this string file,So long he did not do it
Thanks!

It took a while

The source code can be found on GitHub and Windows binaries at the World of Risen forum.
