(PC) South Park: The Fractured but Whole - locpack and locpackbin files

[martanius]

Hello.

I am making localization for this game and had the tools to extract/import game files. But I reinstalled my PC and unknowingly deleted the tools for this game.

From my backups/files I was able to get the QuickBMS script for extracting SDF game archives. As far as I know the script was created by Luigi Auriemma. I was unable to find the script anywhere so if you are looking for a way to extract/import SP Fractured but Whole game archives, use the attached script with QuickBMS app.

But what I am missing is the app I used to decrypt locpackbin files and encrypt them again for import. These files contain the game texts. Please does someone still have it somewhere? Thank you.

Hello.

 

Can you please help me convert this file to txt and back to locpackbin? I used to have a tool for that but I lost it. Apparently swuforce had a script for that ubt I have no idea which script it is. Thank you.

All of his scripts should be here:

Did you try to search through xentax/zenhax backups? https://reshax.com/forum/19-old-forget-data/

Also you should share more details if you remember something more e.g.:
 - what was the name of the tool?
 - where did you find it?
 - who was the author of the tool?
 - what was the structure of the tool directory? (e.g. one single EXE file?)

Ok, i think those are the scripts you are looking for:

Thank you. I'll try to search through the backups.

I believe it was two .exe files - one for export and one for import. I'm almost sure it was one of the swuforce's autoit scripts but I have no idea which one. I don't remember the name of the file tho.

I probably found it on ZenHax. I am not sure tho.

If it was not one of swuforce's scripts, I don't know who the author was.

 

This is the topic I found on Wayback Machine where swuforce says to try one of his tools and links his sources (the AutoIt scripts as I linked above).

YES!! Thank you so much. You are the man/women. 

Also if anyone reading this is looking for a way to localize this game, I have Aluigi's QuickBMS script to export/import SDF archives.

Hello I'm a noob with no basic computer programming, I'm from another country, this game doesn't have an official package in this language, we don't have a solution on the forums because it's not very playable due to the language, how do I localize this game please!

Well, first you need to learn how to use quickbms to deal with SDF archives
This tutorial may be very helpful https://ikskoks.pl/tutorial-what-is-quickbms-how-to-export-and-import-with-quickbms/

Then you need to learn some things about AutoIt, Try to google these phrases:
 - "what is autoit"
 - "how to compile autoit script"


Then you should use materials from this topic to make a localization patch.
