Hi guys, I am trying to translate the Resident Evil 4 game, PS2 version for my language. I managed to extract the text scripts of ss_file.dat thanks to the script made by aluigi. The files in MDT folder from ss_file.dat it seems to be MDT 1 format, as in pc version. The header of the files in MDT folder is 0x43 0? 0? 0?. The tool RE4 Text Extract support the scripts texts with 0x43 header, but when I use the tool, the following message is showed; "error string main arg ]"
There is an way to adapt the RE4 TextExtract/Inject tool for 00001.dat, 00002.dat files in RE4 game (ps2 version).
The sample of files are in an attached folder.

Well done with the chartable.
The following is a lame experiment for displaying the strings (no editing, just an experiment):

Code:

set TABLE binary "\x20\x3f\x3f\x30\x31\x32\x33\x34\x35\x36\x37\x38\x39\x3a\x25\x26\x2b\x2d\x2f\x3d\x2c\x2e\x2e\x00\x28\x29\x21\x3f\x22\x3b\x7e\xa4\x3f\x3c\x3e\x5b\x5d\x3b\x3b\x41\x42\x43\x44\x45\x46\x47\x48\x49\x4a\x4b\x4c\x4d\x4e\x4f\x50\x51\x52\x53\x54\x55\x56\x57\x58\x59\x5a\x61\x62\x63\x64\x65\x66\x67\x68\x69\x6a\x6b\x6c\x6d\x6e\x6f\x70\x71\x72\x73\x74\x75\x76\x77\x78\x79\x7a\xe2\xea\xee\xf4\xfb\xc2\xca\xce\xd4\xdb\xe0\xe8\xec\xf2\xf9\xc0\xc8\xcc\xd2\xd9\xe1\xe9\xed\xf3\xfa\xfd\xc1\xc9\xcd\xd3\xda\xdd\xe4\xeb\xef\xf6\xfc\xff\xc4\xcb\xcf\xd6\xdc\x9f\xe3\xf5\xc3\xd5\xf1\xd1\xe5\xc5\xe7\xc7\xf8\xd8\xde\xfe\x9a\x8a\xdf\xd0\x83\xb5\xf0\xe6\x9c\xc6\x8c\xb0\xa1\xbf\x27\x99\x3b\x23\x3b\x3f\x3f\x3f\x3f\x3b\x3b\x3b\xae"

get DUMMY long
get STRINGS long
for i = 0 < STRINGS
    get OFFSET long
    savepos BCK_OFF
    goto OFFSET

    log MEMORY_FILE 0 0
    for x = 0 < 5
        get TMP short
    next x
    for x = 0
        get TMP short
        if TMP <= 1
            break
        endif
        if TMP < 0x80 || TMP > 0x130
            math TMP = '_'
        else
            math TMP - 0x80
            getvarchr TMP TABLE TMP
        endif
        put TMP byte MEMORY_FILE
    next x

    get SIZE asize MEMORY_FILE
    #log "" 0 SIZE MEMORY_FILE

    goto 0 MEMORY_FILE
    getdstring STR SIZE MEMORY_FILE
    print "%STR%"

    goto BCK_OFF
next i

Thank you very much aluigi, I will be to test the script, and any results I will be post here. Thank you!

aluigi, the quickbms in reading operation show manys messages, i.e. SCRIPT MESSAGE a, etc.
I used the 'log NAME OFFSET SIZE' option in the end of script, before the 'next i' command. So, the quickbms create a file called 'NAME' with many characters into, as you said. Now how I can edit the script to achieve the texts in ASCII default for me edit them?

You can only view the data. No editing/reimporting.
Instead of 'log NAME OFFSET SIZE' you can just uncomment the '#log "" 0 SIZE MEMORY_FILE' instruction.

But is possible to create an script for convert the chars for ASCII in editing mode, I need of the texts ready for editing, so I can continue my translation. I got translate some graphics for my language, some words as 'Buy' 'Sell' and 'Tune Up'. But the main texts and the report files are not in graphics.

You can try this script.
With ENCODE = 0 it decodes the file.
With ENCODE = 1 it re-encodes the file.
You need to use quickbms with the -w option because it modifies the original file.

Code:

# EDIT THIS VALUE! 0 to convert and 1 to convert back!
math ENCODE = 0

set MEMORY_FILE10 binary "\x20\xff\xff\x30\x31\x32\x33\x34\x35\x36\x37\x38\x39\x3a\x25\x26\x2b\x2d\x2f\x3d\x2c\x2e\x2e\xff\x28\x29\x21\x3f\x22\x3b\x7e\xa4\xff\x3c\x3e\x5b\x5d\x3b\x3b\x41\x42\x43\x44\x45\x46\x47\x48\x49\x4a\x4b\x4c\x4d\x4e\x4f\x50\x51\x52\x53\x54\x55\x56\x57\x58\x59\x5a\x61\x62\x63\x64\x65\x66\x67\x68\x69\x6a\x6b\x6c\x6d\x6e\x6f\x70\x71\x72\x73\x74\x75\x76\x77\x78\x79\x7a" # "\xe2\xea\xee\xf4\xfb\xc2\xca\xce\xd4\xdb\xe0\xe8\xec\xf2\xf9\xc0\xc8\xcc\xd2\xd9\xe1\xe9\xed\xf3\xfa\xfd\xc1\xc9\xcd\xd3\xda\xdd\xe4\xeb\xef\xf6\xfc\xff\xc4\xcb\xcf\xd6\xdc\x9f\xe3\xf5\xc3\xd5\xf1\xd1\xe5\xc5\xe7\xc7\xf8\xd8\xde\xfe\x9a\x8a\xdf\xd0\x83\xb5\xf0\xe6\x9c\xc6\x8c\xb0\xa1\xbf\x27\x99\x3b\x23\x3b\xff\xff\xff\xff\x3b\x3b\x3b\xae"

The script works fine here, my translation is getting good. Thanks for everything aluigi.
