To anyone who is interested in HGH, that game uses .ltb files, so Risky's Revenge TextTool should be OK.

And it works for localization.ltb in localization.pak (It's menu/interface stuff, the new file's size can't be too different from original, otherwise the game crashes). The problem is shantae_dialog.ltb in shantae_common.pak. That file has ridiculous ammount of text (because it contains all dialogue lines for every official language). When I exported that file into .txt and then immediately imported back into .ltb, the new file had 64 more bytes than original, so the game couldn't read that .ltb properly and crashes. So maybe either the exporter or importer breakes the file.

So, sorry to bother you, swuforce, but is it possible to fix that problem?

As far as i know it works, just you need to "editing .pak file with a hex editor".

Nevermind that, I just figured out exactly how to fix it. It just requires fixing shantae_dialog.ltb with hex editor in a specific way. Maybe I'll make a tool someday, but here's step-by-step tutorial for now.
(Will EDIT this post if I find mistakes). EDITED 23.08.17
1) The NEW .ltb needs to have 1 866 688 bytes (64 more bytes than OLD .ltb). Making .txt have 854 901 bytes before importing should do it in most cases.
2) Open both the OLD .ltb and NEW .ltb in hex editor.
3) In NEW, replace "40" in 000020 and 000030 with "00".
4) Copy bytes from OLD's 1A1000-1A2CD8 (last bytes: "00 00 00 00 98") and paste it into NEW's 1A1000-1A2D18. Notice that these blocks of bytes have different size (After that NEW will be 64 bytes shorter).
5) Copy bytes from OLD's 1C7700-1C7748 (last bytes: "00 00 00 00 48") and paste it into NEW's 1C7700-1C7748.

After that shantae_dialog.ltb from Risky's Revenge Text Tools should be fixed. These blocks of bytes are after all dialogue lines, if you watch the .txt's size everything should be OK.
