About

The original TOD1RSCE module v0.3 by TTEMMA was generously donated by the Temple of Tales Translations team. Please visit http://temple-tales.ru/translations.html for more Tales of translation projects.

The original binaries were decompiled, repackaged and further modified and made to be compatible with .NET 5.0. The original project was just a subfolder in the DC repo, so the commit history of this repo is just cherry-picked commits from there, just to have a coherent timeline of the tool's changes, in addition, the original net-framework solution is available in the legacy branch.

Compile Instructions

1. Open sceWork.sln with Visual Studio Community Edition (2019)
2. Build the solution (Debug/Release is fine)
3. You should have sceWork.exe and TableModule.dll
4. Extract raw data with sceWork.exe
5. Extract data with Japanese text, you also need JPCODES.txt in the same directory

Linux / macOS Instructions

1. Install .NET 5.0 Runtime: wget https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/827b12a8-8dea-43da-92a2-2d24c4936236/d2d61b3ed4b5ba3f682de3e04fc4d243/aspnetcore-runtime-5.0.5-linux-x64.tar.gz
2. Create a new install directory for .NET 5.0: mkdir dotnet-64
3. Extract and install .NET 5.0: tar zxf aspnetcore-runtime-5.0.5-linux-x64.tar.gz -C $HOME/dotnet-64
4. To make the dotnet command run everywhere, put new path ahead of $PATH to increase the priority:
5. export DOTNET_ROOT=$HOME/dotnet-64
6. export PATH=$HOME/dotnet-64:$PATH
7. Enter the following to make sure .NET 5.0 is working: dotnet --info

Usage Instructions (General)

1. Use // to comment out lines that do not need to be inserted

Usage Instructions (Skits)

1. Use pakcomposer.exe to extract .pak1 files
2. BAT Example: for %%i in (*.pak1) do pakcomposer.exe -d "%%i" -1 -x -u -v
3. The .pak1 filex extracts to a folder which has .tod1rsce4 files inside
4. Put sceWork.exe, TableModule.dll, and JPCODES.txt in the same directory
5. Use Command Prompt to extract text from .tod1rsce4 file
6. BAT Example: for %%i in (*.tod1rsce4) do sceWork.exe -e "%%i"
7. Edit the .txt file, view with SHIFT-JIS encoding
8. Insert the tex back into the .tod1rsce4 file
9. BAT Example: for %%i in (*.tod1rsce4) do sceWork.exe -r "%%i" -as 12 -ae
10. Move/copy the .tod1rsce4 file into the folder where it was originally extracted
11. Pack the files in this folder into a .pak1 file again
12. BAT Example: for /D %%i in (*) do pakcomposer.exe -c %%i -1 -x -u -tod2_ps2_skit_padding
13. Need to fix .pak1 file. Open with HEX Editor to fix issue with skits.
14. Look at offset 0x00000004 if it is 24 change it to 30 and save.
15. Luckily, we have a script that does this for all .pak1 files in the folder.
16. BAT Example: python modPAK1Files.py
17. Copy .pak1 files into DAT_FILES and pack into DAT.BIN and DAT.TBL
18. Create a new ISO with the new files and try it out

Usage Instructions (Scenarios)

1. Use sceWork.exe to extract .txt from .rsce files
2. Use with TableModule.dll, and JPCODES.txt to see Japanese, otherwise RAW dump
3. BAT Example: for %%i in (*.rsce) do sceWork.exe -e "%%i"
4. Edit .txt file and save with the current encoding, else game crash
5. Insert text back into the the .rsce file.
6. BAT Example: for %%i in (*.rsce) do sceWork.exe -r "%%i"
7. Replace the .rsce in the .mglk folder that was extracted with ToDDCTools_v1.1.exe
8. Pack it up into a new .mglk file
9. BAT Example: for %%i in (*.mglk) do ToDDCTools_v1.1.exe mglk "%%i"
10. Move/copy the newly packed .mglk file into DAT_FILES
11. Use ToDDCTools_v1.1.exe to repack DAT.BIN and DAT.TBL
12. Create a new ISO with the new files and try it out
