ROM Hack [Release] MSBT Editor Reloaded

[IcySon55]

Excellent! Nice to know it's working so well.

I'll post some example BMGs when I can. You can find docs and tools for BMG on google.
----
Another feature request; could you add an option for:
copying the text of all labels into the text of the corresponding messages? AND/OR being able to import a csv (so I can do the latter in Excel, and for other batch processes)
Either would make it very easy to identify what is used and what isn't, just by playing the game with the modified msbt files

 

[IcySon55]

I can't really implement that feature any time soon. It's too niche, plus it wouldn't really work that well for files containing sub strings. Granted sub strings only exist because of limitations with the TextBox control in WinForms.

Not to mention that the program's main purpose has been fulfilled and then some. If I find a bunch of free time, then maybe.

Two feature request you may be more interested in:
* Could you add support for adding text to messages which have no text, only a label?
* Ability to use CTRL-C to copy a label's text

---

BTW: Do you want me to send you BMG files?

I can't do the first item because it has the potential to break existing files.
I can certainly add the second item.

BTW: Do you want me to send you BMG files?

Sure, I'll take a quick look over them. Which games use BMG files and what's their purpose?

 

[Hiccup]

Here is a list of all I games I believe to use some sort of BMG file:

They have basically the same function as MSBT, I believe. No labels though.

Do you definitely want me to send you BMG files, or can you get some from those games?
If you do, how many, and from which games?

One or two from each game would give me a nice range of data to look through. If it's not too much trouble. Or just some from the newer games, Wii/DS for example.

One for each platform. PM me if you want more.

I see in your first post you want to know what text is working, so here:
[i will specific if it is the eShop version, because Wii U games sometimes have differences between eShop and disc version.]
* Paper Mario: Sticker Star (English (EU))
* Splatoon (English (EU))

I can modify "Kirby's Return to Dream Land" texts, but there's no fionts for russian in this game.

 

[AboodXD]

Probably an unsupported language.

 

[Cyb3rM4n]

yeah, there's no russian font in this game. just questions but no letters

You may need to edit the game's English font to include Russian characters. The tools to do this may not exist, also it may not even be possible to include double byte characters in the font depending on its format. Good luck I suppose.

Speculation: Find another Nintendo game that uses MSBT and the same font files that DOES support Russian. Try to replace Kirby's font with the one from the other game.

Hey @IcySon55, when opening Detective Pikachu's MSBTs the text shows up garbled. Any chance you could take a look? I've uploaded them here: https://u.pomf.is/znttqq.zip

That's because it's in UTF-8 format and the program only supports 16 right now

 

[piratesephiroth]

I attempted some quick changes to the code to make it accept Art Academy - Home Studio files. Got to read them fine but saving is still broken, hehe

Can you take a look at them, @IcySon55 ?

[ElyosOfTheAbyss]

Is it possible for you to support utf 8 encoding for msbt files

 

[piratesephiroth]

Is it possible for you to support utf 8 encoding for msbt files

Well, Art Academy's MSBTs use UTF8 but they're not exactly the same as Detective Pikachu's.

 

[ElyosOfTheAbyss]

Well, Art Academy's MSBTs use UTF8 but they're not exactly the same as Detective Pikachu's.

But with modification it should be able to work with it?

I don't completely understand the format yet so this modification is not able to read the text in Detective Pikachu's files.
