Minimaul's Saints Row 2, Saints Row: The Third, Saints Row IV and Gat Out Of Hell tools

  • Thread starter Thread starter Minimaul

I've uploaded rev67 to the first post:
  • ExtractStreamingSoundbank and BuildStreamingSoundbank now extract and repack subtitles that are attached to voice clips. The parameters on these tools have changed!
  • ExtractStreamingSoundbank and BuildStreamingSoundbank now automatically tries to select the right codebooks for revorb. You can also override this manually with the /codebooks:<codebook file> parameter.
  • BuildStrings and ExtractStrings now work correctly on non-latin characters - so they should work on Russian/Polish/Japanese. The parameters on these tools have changed! These tools now also use an XML file format rather than an awkward text file format.
  • ExtractStrings now automatically finds your xtbl files inside the game's original packfiles and uses those.
  • Finding your game install directory is now much more reliable and should even work for cases where your game installed to a different Steam library.

Nice! Would it be possible to fix SR:TT string tools too?

Hey, would you be able to post an example of command to extract strings? This
Code: 
ThomasJepp.SaintsRow.ExtractStrings.exe -xtbl="G:\misc_tables.vpp_pc" customize_de.le_strings
doesn't work anymore.

You want something more like:
Code: 
ThomasJepp.SaintsRow.ExtractStrings.exe sriv customize_de.le_strings

If you run the tool with no parameters in a command prompt it'll show you what options are available. The first parameter is the game the strings are from - that tells the tool where to look for string names - and also what format to use. SR2 is awkwardly different from SRTT, SRIV & SRGOOH. Valid options are sr2, sr3/srtt, sr4/sriv and gooh/srgooh.
 
Eh, would it be possible to add an option to convert these files to TXT? Changing all strings from this:
Code: 
"EAM_ELECTROBLAST": "ELECTRO BLAST"
To this:
Code: 
    <String Name="EAM_ELECTROBLAST">ELECTRO BLAST</String>
In three mods with four languages... That'll hurt.

You could do it pretty quickly with a Regex based search & replace, but I'll make a one-way conversion tool for the old .txt format to the new .xml format. The new format stores some extra data at the top that you'll have to fill in, but I can't produce files for non-English characters if I don't have that extra data.
 
Here it is. Use it like:

Code: 
ThomasJepp.SaintsRow.ConvertStrings.exe "static_us.txt"

It'll ask you two questions - the language of the file and the game the file was from, then produce an XML file in the same directory as the original .txt file.
