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

[Darth_Overkill]

Having an issue attempting to extract strings from the Saints Row IV Re-Elected. I have the game on Epic and have extracted the packfiles to get the le_strings files from them but when I try to use this tool to convert those to xml files I get an unhandled exception value cannot be null, parameter name Path. I have tried specifying the output file (as pictured in snip) as well as running the command with the full paths entered for the relevent items (extraction executable, le_string file and output file (not pictured, but same error as picture).

I also moved the le_strings file into the same folder as the tools still get the same error.

Is there any chance someone still hanging around here knows what I'm missing here?

Edit: Downloaded the reference xml files from the SDK thread about clothing to test with - I get basically the same error trying to build these into le_string files - though the parameter name is path1 in the build strings case. It creates the le_strings file but it is an empty file. Any help would be much appreciated.

It depends. What do you want to do exactly?

You would want ThomasJepp.SaintsRow.ExtractPackfileGUI.exe, from thomasjepp-saintsrow-rev133-7z.
Use it to extract misc_tables.vpp_pc in the game's packfiles.
Then go back to that forum topic to see what files exactly they changed to achieve that mod's effect, using Notepad++ as default Notepad can have problems.

It sounds like you need to extract all files in the zip folder first, likely it needs other files to work other than itself
