I haven't tried editing the game yet, but at first glance I would suggest you try this:

1) - Rename the original "...\Localization\English_xml.pak" file to backup_English_xml.pak.

2) - Copy the extracted .xml and font files next to the .pak file.

I hope it works. If not, I can't help you.

The game uses CryEngine. The PAK file can be extracted using the Crysis 3 PAK Extractor tool (https://gamebanana.com/tools/5416). Also, can pack file using CMD:

dec.exe input.zip output.pak

Looking at the structure of the extracted XML files, they are also somehow packed with the CryXmlB header and is not plain XML. I am sending the original file from the game as an attachment.

So, you need convert XML -> CryXmlB (I found only extractor on github https://github.com/Bl00drav3n/CryXmlB | https://github.com/pleonex/HappyXml) -> pack all files to ZIP -> use cmd to pack ZIP to PAK.

I got help from programist friend, nick "karhorus". He created a Polish installer based on its Czech counterpart. But I have to translate one file, because not everything was translated.

I have translated the game but how do you convert the xml file to CryXmlB?

[wolf1987]

I extracted the game files and translated and converted them from CryXmlB to xml.
Here are all the required files.


Sites I've used

or

I need help converting an

XML file to CryXmlB.

Thank you all.

A reasonably new version of cry engine's source code is available on github, which contains codes for loading and writing their own binary xml format.

An AI should be able to write a converter for you if you provide it with those codes, I guess.

Ok thanks

Copy the translated .xml and .gfx files into the Ryse Son of Rome\Localization folder, alongside the other .pak files. Then delete the English_xml.pak file.

[wolf1987]

Is there a tool to convert XML file to CryXmlB? I mean to return it to its original state.

[Jsnbrody]

If your xml is decrypted, just drop it into English_Xml.pak using Winrar. The game already reads both formats (compressed or not)

[wolf1987]

Look bro

[Jsnbrody]

what does your xml look like? show xml with translation

[wolf1987]

[Jsnbrody]

In games made with CryEngine, especially in localization files, there are usually two identical lines that contain the same in-game text. If you want to change the game's text or subtitles, you must edit both lines with the same content; otherwise, the game will throw an error. I don't know why this is.

[wolf1987]

I know, my friend, that I've finished translating it, but in order for you to read the game file, the translated text is new. After converting it to a package, you must return the XML file to CryXmlB. Do you understand what I mean?

[wolf1987]

Take a look at this text and you'll see what I mean. I want to return it to its encrypted form so the game can read it.

AR.rar

I figured out your mistake. I’ll leave the decrypted file English_XML.pak for you. Your task is to use WinRAR as the archiver. You can extract the files however you like, but when repacking, just drag and drop the files into the archive and click OK. All the texts are already decrypted. Extract all the text files, translate them, and put them back in exactly. Just don’t use your previously translated XML files — they are incorrect, which is why the game throws an error.
The decryption doesn’t match the game’s format.
These are my modified texts:
