The Black Mirror (2003) (a.k.a. Posel smrti) – data.adb

[samuelGordon]

Thank you in advance for taking the time to help me.

I am having a hard time finding and exporting text files from The Black Mirror (2003) (a.k.a. Posel smrti), a Czech adventure game from Future Games.

I've tried using nibiru.bms which should work on NiBiRu, a later game of theirs, and it works for the audio files found in the .grp archives in the game folder, but not for data.adb. I also used the NiBiRu utilities from Denis Oezmen @ https://oezmen.eu/gameresources with the same problem. Trying to export data.adb with these tools produces 15638 files of an unknown format with strange names:

I have to admit I have a very hard time understanding how these tools work but should be able to follow instructions. If it helps, I've spent tens of hours transcribing the German version from a Let's Play, so I have several thousands of strings that should be present in the German version (but some of these strings may be slightly different, I remember correcting typos and adding or changing punctuation, and I may have made some typos of my own while transcribing). My ultimate goal for the export is to use the game subtitles paired with the (successfully exported) game recordings for language learning.

I'll attach the English data.adb to this post. Because the extension .adb is not allowed, I renamed the file to data.txt.

data.txt

Once again, thank you very much for taking time out of your day to help me.
