Metro 2033 / Last Light lng tool

[rengareng]

Hi y'all,

You can use this tool to edit .lng files of Metro games.

Updated for Metro Exodus here!

Code: Select all

Metro .lng tool - celikeins - 2019.02.10
Unpack texts: metro-lng-tool.exe stable_us.lng
              * Creates stable_us.lng.txt file
Repack texts: metro-lng-tool.exe stable_us.lng.txt
              * Creates stable_us.lng.new file
              * stable_us.lng should be in the current directory.

Great work!

Nice! Thank you very much!

Here is the updated version for Metro Exodus.

What Metro games can be used by these Tools ... Is it possible for Metro Last Light and Metro 2033 versions that are non-REDUX ???

Sorry for my bad English.

How to extract/repack the stable_us.lng from content.vfx?

The tool for Last Light Redux doesn't work, and couldn't find any specific tools for Metro Exodus.

              * stable_us.lng should be in the current directory.

when trying to unpack\repack it without editing the .txt file, everything works well,
but when I edit\localize the .txt file, and try to repack it, the tool shows this


afterwards it creates an empty .lng file, contains this only



so, I can't add non-latin letters I suppose?

You can use only characters in the us font file.

You can use only characters in the us font file.

well, none of the available .lng files contains the characters that I'm gonna use, and that's the case for all games.
u can't update the tool or like... create a whole new .lng file?

I managed to find the font files for Metro Exodus. In the past (Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light), it was possible to use magicdds to convert them to .dds, edit them with Photoshop, and the convert them back.
It still converts them to .dds, but Photoshop can't edit them (maybe some small things have changed, and is not readable as a .dds file)?

Here are some examples of the font files and the magicdds:

Anyone know how to edit them and then convert them back?

Update!
by a help of a friend, I was able to added it!
now how exactly to make the game load the new "stable_us.lng" file?
*someone mentioned this like viewtopic.php?p=10165#p10165 but the links of the tools are dead

yes I've, but however, right now I'm stuck in the process, because there's no way 'yet' to repack the modified files, or to make the game load them.
