The Simpsons Game

[George King]

Hi, I'm trying to translate The Simpsons Game on Xbox 360. I have found we can extract STR files with  https://aluigi.altervista.org/bms/simpsons_str.bms. Text seems to be in 82b5bfda.str where we can find simpsons_global.en.LH2 which can be unpacked and repacked with https://github.com/EdnessP/scripts/blob/bf60cd29ef619961d913e37265dadfd8aa456422/simpsons-game/TheSimpsonsGame_NewGen_LH2.py

So we can translate game and recreate LH2 file, but QuickBMS script doesn't support import back to STR.

Any idea how to do that? Or any other working tools to modify The Simpsons Game texts?

Sample files are attached

You can take off the comtype of unpack, because the unpack uses memoryfile, so it can´t reimport it again.

so, you can uses everything separately,

Here the compressor/decompressor in quickbms.

you will have to remount the RefPack.

Thanks, I have just tried your scripts, but can't get same LH2. Compared to original, there are some payloads at file begin and end.

I just did this and then HEX compared both files.

@echo off
setlocal

set "STR_FILE=%~dp082b5bfda.str"
set "TOOLS_DIR=%~dp0tools"
set "PY_SCRIPT=%TOOLS_DIR%\TheSimpsonsGame_NewGen_LH2.py"
set "BMS_EXTRACT=%TOOLS_DIR%\Simpsons unpack without decompress.bms"
set "BMS_DECOMPRESS=%TOOLS_DIR%\simpsons_descompressor.bms"
set "OUT_FOLDER=%~dp0extracted"


echo [1/3]
mkdir "%OUT_FOLDER%" >nul 2>&1
"%TOOLS_DIR%\quickbms.exe" -o -Y "%BMS_EXTRACT%" "%STR_FILE%" "%OUT_FOLDER%"

echo [2/3]
for %%f in ("%OUT_FOLDER%\*.*") do (
    set "LH2_FILE=%%f"
    call "%TOOLS_DIR%\quickbms.exe" -o -Y "%BMS_DECOMPRESS%" "%%f" "%OUT_FOLDER%"
)

Yes, Refpack has levels, maybe the game uses another, someone has to delve deeper.

i remember i helped a friend with it in past

he allow to edit the logo to the portuguese language.
