ROM Hack [Release] CTPK Tool

[DarkSynopsis]

Is it normal that I export a ctpk file that is about 1.345 kB and after ctpktool converts the same folder back into a ctpk file, it's suddenly exactly 1 MB? The file then causes graphical errors in the game. Another file that already was 1 MB in size when I exported it obviously worked fine after some editing, but does anybody know how to handle files with different sizes?

Ran into similar problems in the past with graphical glitches, ended up having to do some messy hex editing to get stuff working, does the ctpk contain multiple images? if so are they different resolutions? I can't recall if the troublesome files I messed with in the past had multiple images but with Nagato's TXP Tool on VITA the images get messed up when there are multiple images and different resolutions, main reason I bring up the VITA tool is it works in a very similar way to this CTPK one.

im sorry to bump such an old thread, but i downloaded the tool, and even though they both are clearly in the same path, it says there is no ctpk file.

any idea why it wouldnt be able to find the ctpk file?

Decoded the file status_u.ctpk.lz via FEAT.
As a result, I got a folder with graphical .PNG and .XML files.
I changed them and encrypted them back with ctpktool.
After that, I used DSDecmp4 to encrypt the file and got status_u.ctpk.lz.
Collected ROM and launched in Citra. As a result, I received a green screen instead of a texture. What to do?

Looks like the links to this tool are no longer functional. Does anyone have an updated link that for ctpktool?

there's probably no chance you're still interested, but I have an answer for anybody who finds this thread later.
i have a fork that still lives. https://github.com/MyLegGuy/ctpktool-patching
you can clone it and revert to commit 9ca30d043b28c99367212cb3c8772eeef1534bde if you only want polaris-'s code. https://github.com/MyLegGuy/ctpktool-patching/archive/9ca30d043b28c99367212cb3c8772eeef1534bde.zip
but i recommend my fork because it has an rgba4 bug fix.

I looking binary file ctpktool.exe, Even yours is useless without creating that file.

it's easy to compile but i just released a binary anyway:
https://github.com/MyLegGuy/ctpktool-patching/releases/tag/1.5-leg
make sure to follow the command line usage instructions.

Can you just send me the zip folder that was originally on the thread?

That was 5 years ago of what your wanting. Look at the post before yours for getting the closest to what ya want.
