Hi people, I made a good progress.

I finally build string fragments table. But, I do not know how this fragment table is indexed from the file.

I successfuly build string fragments table for both small file provided in previous entry and main_english.loc file.
However, I do not know how indexing works. I tried 1 byte indexing to this string fragment table in small file, meaningful texts are appeared.
However, in main_english.loc file, we need more advanced indexing since there is more than 255 entries in the string fragments table.

Here the output for DBD82924.loc(small file)

Code:

I hope there are people who can help me.

I just simply run the C# code in the attachment. It prints stringFragmentsTable entries, and output using 1 byte indexing.
My code is based on DerPlaya's code for Assassins Creed game.

Also, here my guess for loc file structure as template.

Code:

//--------------------------------------
//--- 010 Editor v5.0.2 Binary Template
//--------------------------------------

uint magic;
ushort languageCode;
ushort count1;
uint stringFragmentsOffset;
struct{
uint a,b;
}t[count1];
FSeek(stringFragmentsOffset);
int count2;//includes zero-zero node,but it is not written here
struct{
    short right,left;
}nodes[count2-1];

Hi everyone,

I finally managed to unpack loc files. Unfortunately, the loc file does not have ids, therefore you have to give min and max ids.

I attached unpacker with Watch_Dogs 1 main_english.loc file and unpacked main_english.txt file.

I won't spend time on writing tool to repack.
