Midnight Club: Street Racing (Ps2) .strtbl

[ISKA]

I tried:
Rdr strtbl - swuforce
Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition Remix - Delutto
Doesn't work nothing.

Rdr strtbl - swuforce

Doesn't work nothing.

Is this all you're trying to get at?

I just used the code below, the basic structure is count of offsets, followed by offsets. Some of them overlap assuming it's a lookup to a specific section used for something.
Then after that it's another count for string entries, followed by the entries themselves until the end of the file. The 8 bytes before the string I'm not sure if it's a hash or what the 8 after the string seem to always be 0000803F0000803F

Code: Select all

OpenFileDialog OD = new OpenFileDialog();
if (OD.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
    FileStream fs = new FileStream(OD.FileName, FileMode.Open);
    BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(fs);
    fs.Position = br.ReadInt32() * 4 + 4;

    int count = br.ReadInt32();
    List<string> stringEntries = new List<string>();

    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
    {
        br.ReadInt64();
        string check = Encoding.Unicode.GetString(br.ReadBytes(br.ReadInt32() * 2));
        stringEntries.Add(check);
        br.ReadInt64();
    }

    File.WriteAllLines(OD.FileName + ".txt", stringEntries);

    br.Close();
    fs.Close();
}

I just need unpack, edit and repack strtbl files.

Okay going to take some tweaking, I missed a piece and know what the offsets at the start are.
Basically the game supports 10 languages, so the offsets at the start are the pointer to the table for each language. They reuse the same table for multiple languages so depending which language you want to edit depends on what strings you want to do (mind you I can't see if it lists 10 in game so it may only have 3 and it's just the file format supports 10)

From what I saw it seems like there are 6 unique language tables for in game and 7 of the 10 used. The one marked for reuse is Japanese which is weird but it is what it is.

So it doesn't seem to like encoding the Japanese as Unicode and back and is screwing up the last entry. Since they're the last language in the list I just had it skip that one and use the original and not read it from the files. You should be able to pick any one of the other 5 languages and translate whichever you choose.

It worked. I have another question. Actually last question. I need to edit font files to completely translating for my language. I guess .tex file entensions actually font files and they are in different places. I will send the some examples. Would you help me about this?

Personally no, like I said previously image formats aren't really my thing and I hate working with Glyphs and bitmap images. I feel for you I'm guessing you need to add cyrillic character glyphs? It's honestly why I stick to English translations for games because latin characters are always included.

Hello again LokiReborn. Thanks for tool. I finished Midnight Club: Street Racing translation. I will planning to translate other midnigt clubs with release dates. If ı am not mistaken they used .strtbl files. in all midnight clubs. If I sent you to language files can you make a tool for these midnight club games.

After receiving your PM, I did some research. This is a font image conversion plugin. Edit the picture and open it with NOESIS. Right-click and select "EXPORT" and find the .tex format for export.

Save it as "tex_angelstudios_tex.py" and put it in the "plugins/pyton" folder in Noesis.
