[DS] Does anyone know how to open or modify .std image files?

[Toiletman74]

I was looking at the game Pokemon card game: asobikata and I wanted to replace the japanese card images with english ones. I know for sure the .std files are the images that the cards are stored in. Does anyone know of a way to open or edit those .std files?

I saw a post on vg resource that had a .jar executable that could supposedly open the files but I can't figure out how to use it. you can find that post if you just look up "vg resource dumping .std" (I can't post a link cause anti-spam)

Theres also some ripped images from this game on spriters resource I'm not sure how they ripped them. you can find the page if you google "spriters resource pokemon card game how to play ds"

What do you mean you can't figure out how to use it? You run those from the command line using Java.

So what command would I use to open it?

Assuming you're on Windows, open up the command prompt and use the "cd" command to go to where the Java executible and the .std file is. Then, just use the following syntax:

[JAVA FILE NAME] {STD FILE NAME}

It'll probably extract everything from the file. I'm not sure about repacking?

I tried this command and it didn't work. as far as I can tell it didn't do anything at all

huh. alright, try running the jar with either ? (e.g. PokeSTDGen.jar ?) or with help, --help, /?, pretty much just trying to see if it has any sort of help text it could spit out in the temrinal.

No one clicked the link in my last post, clearly.

You need to run the command as

java -jar [jar file] [arguments]

I can't imagine how your system is configured that would let you run .jar files otherwise, unless perhaps you're on Linux.

(Needless to say that won't do anything if Java isn't installed.)

I got confused because on google it showed -java -jar [jar file] [arguments]. I kept putting in the extra dash at the beginning but anyway

After a lot of struggling (had to get javafx installed) I got the program to open but when I try to use the program I just keep getting this error

I have no idea what javafx is or why you thought you needed to install it, and it's entirely likely that the problem you are experiencing is due to attempting to use javafx instead of java.

Uninstall javafx and get Java from https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp .

I couldn't get the program to run at all without it. If you try to run it without javafx it says "Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application"

So does that mean you installed Java from https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp first? Details are important.

yeah it's installed

Well, It Works For Me, and I certainly didn't have to do any messing around with javafx.

What exactly are you typing on the command line at this point?

What do you mean it works for you? Like you got the program open or you got it to convert a .std image to a png?

This is the command that I've been using to start it

java -p "C:\Program Files\Java\javafx-sdk-20.0.2\lib" --add-modules javafx.controls -jar PokeSTDGen.jar

 

[Kwyjor]

...What happens if you type

java -jar PokeSTDGen.jar

 

[Toiletman74]

C:\Users\Lenka\OneDrive\Desktop\Other stuff\Projects\Pokemon AsobiKata>java -jar PokeSTDGen.jar
Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application

 

[Kwyjor]

And what do you get if you type

java -version

 

[Toiletman74]

And what do you get if you type

java -version

C:\Users\Lenka\OneDrive\Desktop\Other stuff\Projects\Pokemon AsobiKata>java -version

And you definitely downloaded Java from https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp ?

It looks to me like you downloaded the JDK from https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#jdk20-windows , which is not the download from https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp .
