ROM Hack [release] MHX Quest Importer

[moghedien]

Could you implement an option, where you can import a backed up save, as both Save Manager nor svdt are able to backup and inject MHX savegames and your tool is able to do backup.

You're doing it wrong. MHX uses ExtData not UserSaveData. You can use SaveDataFiler (switch to Ext tab) or extdata_dump: https://gbatemp.net/threads/3ds-extdata-dump-and-restore-tool-extra-data-editing.378492/
... but I do plan on adding that functionality at some point.

So this tool allows me to inject my save again? Do I get that right?

Yes, SaveDataFiler or extdata_dump will allow you to dump or restore your save file. My tool only lets you dump it but eventually I'll add an option to restore it too.

Which number does the save have in savedatafiler?

Just make them again and re-import them.

Hi there svanheulen, thanks for the tools. I have some problems understanding this, so let me see if I got this right: I run MHXQuest importer to dump my quest dlcs to .arc files.

1. Do I have to decrypt them before I can unpack them? If I do, I first need to run "NTR Debugger 2" on my 3ds so get_mhx_key.py would work?
2. If I don't want to edit the dumped arc files, how do I host the dlc by myself to share with other people? Does it work the same as .mib files?

1. No, the arc files that you export with this tool are unencrypted.
2. I don't quite understand what you're asking but if you share the arc files you dump, then other people can use this tool to import them into their save file.

Ah sorry for being unclear, what should I do if I wanted to host my own dlc server, so my friends can download the dlcs from me?

Short answer: Don't.
Long answer: You need to setup a proxy that supports CONNECT, which is inherently insecure unless you configure it exactly right. I made one for MH4U (but I never modified it for MHX) and of course it's not secure so, again, don't make it internet accessible: https://github.com/svanheulen/mhqs

Can we possibly get a .cia version of this tool?

I have a n3ds with mhx that has NTR CFW
I'm trying to export all the DLC quests so that I can get them on my computer and then proxy them to my friends that don't have NTR CFW
does mhqs work for mhx? And how do I actually get my n3ds to export the quests?
Also, if when I export them they are decrypted, how do I update the key myself in the mhef script so that I can encrypt them and download it through proxy?
Thanks

The quests are decrypted when you extract them. Your friend would have to import the quests using this same tool.

You only need Homebrew Launcher to use the quest importer. So just export them on your system and import them on your friend's system.

Alright thanks . I was able to export them and then put them on another system in the import folder but it said that it wasn't able to import due to extdata not being found. Any solutions?

Thanks

The extdata gets created the first time you run the game. Did you start the game at least once before trying to import?

Yeah, my friend didn't run it first since he was trying it on a rom before his actual game. Thanks a lot moghedien .
