Hi everybody.

https://github.com/Atvaark/TPP.FileFormats

This is amazing for MGSV modding but I have a problem. .fnt file is graphic font characters mapping. FfntTool good working for .ffnt font file, but .fnt can't open, edit and repack. There is one option with HEX Editor for now, but it is very difficult for add many new characters. Please help, how to modding that file? We want to translate MGSV and we could modding all the files we need except .fnt...

Exam: Font for iDroid's text cannot modding.


atvaark send it to me, but I don't know what to do with that...

Code:

//------------------------------------------------
//--- 010 Editor v7.0.2 Binary Template
//
//      File: fnt.bt
//   Authors: atvaark
//   Version: 
//   Purpose: 
//  Category: 
// File Mask: 
//  ID Bytes: 
//   History: 
//------------------------------------------------

LittleEndian();

typedef struct {
  wchar_t character;
  short unknown1;
  ushort y_offset;
  ushort x_offset;
  short unknown2;
  short unknown3;
  short unknown_padding1;
  short unknown_padding2;
} FntGlyph;

typedef struct {
  ushort unknown1;
  ushort glyph_width1;
  ushort glyph_width2;
  ushort glyph_height1;
  ushort glyph_height2;
  ushort glyph_count;
  FntGlyph glyphs[glyph_count];
} FntFile;

FntFile file;

Everyone could benefit if there is a converter for .fnt (.fnt to .xml and reverse). Files is at attached. I waiting for helps.

I do not have much prevail on Technical details, but I just know that: ftex is dds graphic file and fnt is character mapping data of these dds files, so I mean character, coodinates and other things...

if I edit and repack or convert that file so I going to mapping to location of any character in the dds picture and I will add new ones. it is enough to me if there is a mapping xml like in ffnt.

Something like that would work:

Thanks for help, but I dont understand how to use this

Edit: I got it. But this for .ffnt file. fnt file is different. I can't open edit and repack that file with any tool that made by atvaark.




I do not know where it is used that name is Font_KJP_CUTIE_80p_alp



This is iDroid font and name is Font_KJP_PROG_REG_32p_mb_alp


these fonts consists of seperated two files: .ftex and .fnt. and these font files not in FFNT archive. Ftex is OK, but other need a fix.

just listen dude... i know all of this problem... dont blown yourself... all of this scripts and tools have many problemse
dont worry dude, thos ffnt is a else method... ffnt tool always damaged texture font
this guy (who made that tool) cant see png is not a good format for a common texture in a game with lua scripts
i am a lua progelrammer and i know that
this fonts works with a binary texture and font table and font fixer
this tool dont have fixer

add a new unicode chaeacte? hmm?
answer: dude... game based on lua and custom unicode... just replace your character to another character...
as i know, this game can't support universal uncode mode in latin languages
this xml files are unicode, that's right... but you can't make new character in english files ( just like none_unicode files)
, i still cant edit weapon fonts and andvance fonts, but i know they are Ftex (as a direct map in zlib) and when i changed them, i could not see any different in main weapon fonts...

some languages coding with UTF-8 and I imported strings to that langs., and also some ftex font files supported some unicode characters, ex: C - O - U... maybe modify current characters. I dont know what to do with that
