If I'd managed to modify the fonts, how could I use those ingame?
There is a program for reinserting the texts, but none for the fonts.

I've read somewhere a while back, that config.bin should be edited to work with new characters in the font files. How can I edit config.bin?

I've found the unpacker for Metro 2033 Redux elsewhere (I think it works with Last Light Redux too). It works the same as Last Light's unpacker (copy it to the game directory and run it).
The texts are still in .LNG files, but they modified something, because swuforce's extractor can't extract them (hangs, waited for like 15 minutes).

Maybe we can figure out how to extract/repack the .lng files (maybe just needs some modification) and also how to inject them back to the vfs0 files (there was one for Last Light, but that one had patch.vfx).

Link to Redux unpacker: (credits go to abramcummer, I think)

Code: Select all

Link to sample lng file:

Try these tools for the redux: https://www.sendspace.com/file/m8i2n4
Export, import on the lng. Each lng has its own character table, and you cant add any other character, if its not in the table.

Then copy insert and the lng (rename to orig name) to gamedir, backup content.vfx, run insert select the vfx then the lng.
