by gameside

updated:
v1.3

• added export as txt option (see program help)
• fix a small bug

v1.3.1

• fix problem of extraction of some languages

v1.3.2 stable version

• fix the problem of not being able to import some languages

v1.3.3 stable version

• fix a small problem with EP3_S4A_Localization file

v1.3.5 stable version

• added new added Japanese language to the tool - this new version wont work on older game version that don't have Japanese language, use v1.3.3 for them

with this tool you can export all texts from the game files to json or txt
- you can either export all languages from the file or select what language you want to export.
- by default program only convert those string that need to convert to utf-16 (when it have any Unicode char ex Arabic) and use ascii for rest. but you can also force it to write all strings as utf-16.

How to use:
you can see program help with -h/--help option.
example of export English and German languages from file (json mode)

Code:

LiS-textTool.exe -e -f path-to-file-without-extension --lang=english,german

this will create a json file beside the game files.
example of import json back to game file.

Code:

LiS-textTool.exe -i -f path-to-file-without-extension

its need all uexp, uasset and the json file in same folder.

by default tool use the json format for saving the output, but if you want you can use -t/--txt option to make tool export strings to a txt file instead
following example will export German language to a txt file beside of game files

Code:

LiS-textTool.exe -e -f path-to-file-without-extension --txt --lang=german

Notes about txt mode:

• keep in mind you can export more then one language in txt mode too, but if you want to import exported file back, you should just export one language.
• don't delete or change first two lines in txt file.
• if you have both exported json and txt file beside the uexp/uasset and try to import strings back, tool will perfer to import the json file, but you can force tool too import txt by using -t/--txt option in import mode too.

Code:

LiS-textTool.exe -i -f path-to-file-without-extension -t

Why I can't import txt back to uexp? I only export to one language.
I tested, only english can import txt back to uexp.
Can you fix it?

what language you trying to import?
as I tested there is no problem with importing other languages...
as you know you can export as many language as you want in txt mode too, but if you want to import them back you should only export one
and keep in mind dont delete or change first 2 lines in exported txt.

I also updated the first post with more information about txt mode.

If I export and import english txt, it works fine.


But if I export and import other language, like german, it shows an error message.


In all these tests I didn't change anything to txt files.

Hi,
Your tool is great, but it is not compatible with all localization files. It doesn't work with following folders: SMS, Journals, Posters, etc. It does something when I try to export to txt file, but I can open it only with hex editor as files are over 1GB. Is there any chance for an update?

Thanks

PS. I've seen there english text, but I am not sure if it is required to tranlate)

looks like in a point of time they added Japanese language to the game, that older version of tool didn't supported it, but now in new update (1.3.5) its supported.
