Have you tried opening the file directly in MSBT editor without decompressing it? It might not even be compressed. Just have the lz extension.
Nope, giving me a message that says "The file provided is not a valid MSBT file.
The filenames are for example "BattleEnemy.msbt.lz"
The filenames are for example "BattleEnemy.msbt.lz"
It appears that I alone won't be able to help you with this. It has to be taken to a compression expert that is willing to take the time to figure out what's up with the file.
If that person makes the code available (in C#), I'll gladly add it to my editor. If the files just need a bit of massaging to make them LZ11 decompressable, we can look at that too.

I'm assuming that the editor is only able to decompress LZ11 and your file is compressed with RLE or LZ40, check the header of the files and then see: https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendo-ds-gba-compressors.313278/ for a decompressor. If this is NOT the case and IT IS an 0x10 or 0x11 header, then there's a different problem that I can't help you with as I don't have knowledge of LZ10 or 11 or of whether it's a variant of LZ77 or LZ78 as a basis; i.e. you could need to move bytes over 1, read the library/slider in the footer or header, etc. etc. (I suppose one could look at the decoder source...).
Disclaimer: I'm not an expert, this is accumulated knowledge.
MSBT Editor Reloaded v0.9.6
This feature exports only the differences between two MSBT files to a very compact XMSBT file which users can then import into their already modified MSBT files.
I should write a tutorial for this, but I don't have the time to dedicate to it. I'll gladly walk someone through the steps on a Skype/Discord call/chat so they can write one. PM me.
- Added the Export Mod feature for XMSBT files.
- Export the differences between two MSBT files to an XMSBT delta file.

As I understand it. The editor should work just fine with Arabic as the many variations of MSBT files are either UTF8 or 16. Though you may be inputing from left to right.
The real issue is whether or not each individual game has the necessary font to display the characters.

One of the things that would be some good research is looking into creating custom fonts to add support for languages on both the Wii U and 3DS.
MSBT Editor Reloaded v0.9.7
- Finally corrected the label renaming bugs.
- v0.9.7 will correct broken files that were previously broken by v0.9.6 and v0.9.5b. Just open the broken file and then click save to fix it. Broken files created by v0.9.5 and below can not currently be fixed with the program. Contact me directly if you need your heavily modified file fixed so you don't lose any work.
How did you de/compress the files? Other people are having a hard time with the compression as the LZ11 tools in the editor don't work.
Edit: Thanks for reporting a working game. I don't get nearly enough of these.

It's lz11 @0xC. And uses full 32bit int for decomp size. I'll post my tools public sometime.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
Well I'll post it here for now https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/230086385149804555/233842870509895680/LZPYTHONSWEET.zip
All the compressors need python3 as a fair warning.

I'll see if it's worth converting them to C# or maybe incorporating them as is and encapsulating python within the program.
Thoughts?

Uh nice, i didn't noticed this one, do you know of what use are those bytes before the lz11 ? it seems the size repeated twice then a 0x13 and then the size as int24, it's like they are just trolling us.
I just tested, you only need to make a small change the LZ11.cs file:
Code:
public static long Decompress(Stream instream, long inLength, Stream outstream, int StartPos = 0) {
//...
long readBytes = 0;
instream.Position = StartPos;
byte type = (byte)instream.ReadByte();
//...For compressing back you just need to add a header to the output of the compress function

Well @jam1garner and some others are working on a mod tool SplashKit. Jam mostly wanted me to make these python tools to convert to c# since python is not great at lz11 compression.
Yeah I'm working on getting a setup like smash 4 has rn so if I plan on doing MSBT built into it (which I might) I will probably either RE it or figure out a good way to handle using this as a plugin or something. I do plan on converting smb's scripts to C# though and since SplashKit is open source you can just use my code if need be. (However you should be fine, no real need to add lz decomp/comp to your stuff)

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.+1
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
