Hacking Attempt at a Rewrite Vita English patch

[cherry_blossoming]

The CLANNAD English patch has inspired me to create an English patch for Rewrite, and seeing as there aren't any I thought I would attempt to create one. I have experience with extracting the assets from the PC port of Rewrite, however the PSVita port is much different in its file structure and engine.

The problem comes from how one can go about even opening the asset files themselves. I've managed to open the .pak files using "prot tblpak" which gives me .dat files for CGs, .at3 files for audio (which don't need modifying), and .psb files for what I can assume are the script files (imgscr folder; scr short for script?). I've went through the CLANNAD English patch thread and the Fuwanovel Data Extraction Thread in search of some way to be able to open these and modify the game's scripts, to no avail.

The person who did the CLANNAD English patch seems to be using a tool that allows them to both modify and repack the script files.

Maybe someone here can point me in the right direction? Perhaps I need to make my own tool?

Rewrite Vita uses the Luca System engine, right? In that case, I think LuckSystem would probably be the best tool.

Tried it, can't seem to get it to work. Unless I'm using the wrong options maybe.

OK well I looked into it a little further and the README seems to suggest that LucaSystemTool might be better for older Luca System games. The README for LucaSystemTool seems to confirm that Key's Vita ports (including Rewrite) use the Luca System engine. I wasn't able to get anywhere with extracting the files, though. Doesn't help that all of the documentation is in Chinese.

Anyone finding this thread, I figured it out! I spoke with the CLANNAD English Patch creator and he guided me in the right direction. I've successfully managed to make a quick patch! I'll work on this over time, and I've been told that 3 people have quit trying to make it since the censorship is egregious. Mama didn't raise no quitter! Do note that it might take a while, I have college exams coming up, so I'll have to spend time on this project wisely.
