ROM Hack FEAT (Fire Emblem Archive Tool)

...How...?

What do you mean? There are .lz file in Fire Emblem Heroes. FEAT was updated to support them 3 days ago. Also that error is given for any of the games mentioned.

I didn't know that FEAT was updated to support Heroes.

Yeah, but going back to the problem @robotic_jo had, FEAT has a tough time deciding what kind of lz it is. I've made a fork that semi-fixes the problem, but it only works with FE Heroes. Here's the link. The FEAT FEHeroes.zip has the precompiled version. https://github.com/trainboy2019/FEAT

i got linked to a feat update so its all good i was talking about fates btw

 

[trainboy2019]

Ah, I'm glad you got it to work!

Hey, there.

Finally getting around to releasing the tool I've been using for Fire Emblem datamining/translating.

It's extremely simple. Drag/drop a file it knows how to deal with, and it'll automatically extract stuff from it (it knows about .arc, .lz, .bin (message binaries), and can extract textures from .ctpk and .bch).

If you drag/drop a .txt file it generated after editing it, it will rebuild that .txt file back into a message binary (for use in translating).

Code: https://github.com/SciresM/FEAT

Download: https://github.com/SciresM/FEAT/releases

How would I go about rebuilding the files? This seems like an interesting program to tinker around with.

I broke the heroes "encryption" for LZ files, added it to FEAT, started REing the message format and then realized I didn't enjoy smartphone app RE -- the codebase is too modular and gross.

I will absolutely be updating all of my fire emblem related tools for Shadows of Valencia in two months, so hopefully Valencia uses the same formats

If you can link me a file that fails to decompress in master (but should), I will gladly update the program to support it.

I'll probably implement FE:Heroes message binary extraction/recompilation into FEAT soon. Just, ugh, detecting which of the ~13 keys the game has to use is gonna be tough...

14-17 seconds for me, without fail

For me, it was any of the .bin.lz files. All my version did was force it to use the right one for Heroes.

Well...it extracts them fine on my end.

Also, just pushed support for another type of Heroes LZ encryption/compression, and added the ability to convert FE:Heroes message binaries -> .txt to master.

 

[sanktanglia]

Do the .bin.lz files contain anything other than localizations? im looking for the data that says what star levels/stats there are for characters, but im starting to think the game only sends you the data for your characters via protobuf

 

[robotic_jo]

ok FEAT (latest version) isnt rebuilding some txt files for some reason (FEAT). When i open it in FEAT, nothing happens.

edit dont worry i fixed it

 

[misterqqqface]

I've compiled the latest the FEAT and I'm still having trouble with some of the Heroes .bin.lz files. The character dialogue ones are all fine, but the ones in \assets\common don't work. Here is an example.

"Successfully decompressed 00_first.bin.".

 

[misterqqqface]

it gets the bin, but not
the txt

 

[SciresM]

it gets the bin, but not
the txt

...that's not a message archive, there *is no .txt*

 

[sanktanglia]

Are those files protobufs? and is there an easy way to tell the difference between those and the text ones?

 

[LuigiPT]

I noticed that the tool isn't getting the .txt out of the \USEN\Message\Data\Skill.bin.lz , only getting a .bin file.
I'm guessing here should be where the description of the skills is stored. Is there a way to get that .txt?
Here's said file.

 

[Merch]

I'm just concerned if this is being worked on or not, because if it's not, it's ok.

You don't have to hide in the dark about it, because I'll still care regardless of whether it's being worked on or not.

Hey scires, thanks for the JP dump. Unfortunately I can't extract it with FEAT like you told me to.
Open/go does nothing and no matter what I drag/drop I just keep getting an "Unable to automatically decompress" message.
Might be a long shot but could anyone perhaps help me?
Here's the text by the way
