Font in Dungeon Travelers

[lemoncake]

The scripts files are not encrypted, so i can translate that
However, the problem is font files

The files I've attached seems to be font files, but I cannot open this files with fonrforge

I found editor tool on github for AquaPlus games (https://github.com/marcussacana/AquaPlusEditor/tree/master)

But it cant open .fnt files
Maybe font structure is different..

It's not a standard .fnt file like that used in Windows and FontForge - games like to reuse existing filename extensions while having a completely different formats. This game uses a surprisingly wasteful 32-bpp format (RGBA premultiplied with all four channels having the same value instead of just storing the 8-bpp luminance). Using PVRTexTool:

The header has a glyph directory that probably contains the location/offset and size of each character:

Assuming it's similar, maybe you can tweak their 010 binary template https://github.com/marcussacana/AquaPlusEditor/blob/master/AquaPlusEditor/Font Structure.bt to this game.

Thank you for your reply

 

I'm currently trying to tweak 010 template, but it seems the structure has changed a lot

like, i think the multipliers for width and height are gone

 

is there any particular way to guess what a part of binary files means?

i mean, how can one find out the structure and come up with such 010 template?

I gave up editting 010 template, instead I just changed binary file and texture itself

Now I have to make a font texture

Thank you very much

Reverse engineering is a bit of puzzle solving and trial and error (not a simple question, requiring a tutorial's worth of explanation with examples 😉e.g. https://reshax.com/topic/47-reverse-engineering-tutorials-collection/), with you staring at the numbers, looking at the patterns to see what makes sense. For example in the graphic above with the hex values, you can see well that each record is 12 bytes, and there are 3 distinct columns suggesting 3 uint32's (or possibly something smaller), and curiously the leftmost one increases monotonically in value. 🤔 Some hex editors like HxD and 010 have little inspector panels that show the value at your caret as several data types at once, and you can figure out what data type makes the most by ruling out impossibilities (e.g. rule out offsets that point beyond the end of a file or to gibberish).

Cool, welcome, enjoy.
