I'm currently datamining Halfbrick's games, I found the in-game text, but it's embedded in a STR file, being a String Table. I tried to document the format. Anyone want to finish off the template or make a script to extract the strings?

Code:

struct StringTableFileBin {
    struct StringTableFileHeader {
        int    StringTableVersion;
        char   unk[64]; //Hash?
    } tableFileHdr;

    struct StringDataTable {
        
        long    strTBLChunkSize;
        //if (tableFileHdr.StringTableVersion == 3)
            //long    strTBLUnk;
        //long    strTBLStringListSize;

        //long      unknown;
        //long      unknown2;

        struct StringParamTable {
            long    strSize;
        } stringParams;

        struct StringTableStringList {
            string textString[stringParams];
        } StringDataStringsList[3];
    } StringTableDataContent;
} StringTableContent;

local int i  = 0;


struct Header {
    int version;
    byte unknown[64]; // looks like string Ids to me
    int32 strTableChunkSize;
    FSkip(4); //Skip zero
    int32 strTableSize;

struct Gstr(int32 size) {
    char str[size];
};

struct TableInfo {
    int32 offset;
    int32 size1;
    int32 size2;
};

Header header;

FSeek(80 header.strTableSize);
int32 ICount;
TableInfo unData[ICount] ;

for( i = 0; i < ICount; i   )
{
    FSeek(unData[i].offset 80);
    Gstr gstring((unData[i].size1 == unData[i].size2) ? unData[i].size1 : unData[i].size2) ;
}

here is a template I created for all str file inside of FN_Classic_Android_StringTables.zip
about other file, I don't have time to check it now, maybe later...

Thank you so much. I was looking for a QuickBMS script as well if possible but this template could probably give me an idea on how to make one.

QuickBms is a little hard to work with for this file, at least you can't import string back to file with reimport mode
So you need to create 2 script, one for export string from file, and one to import back based of infotable

Yeah this is the most advanced localization file I've seen so far with the way it uses most binary values. I understand.
