Asphalt 9: Legends Renaming Utility

[Bigchillghost]

Renaming utility for Asphalt 9: Legends hash sequence files. Python 2/3 is required.

Usage:
1. extract all assets in all packages (obbs/split apks or whatever) and place all hash sequence files into a single folder;
2. place "restoreFileHierarchy.py" and the name mapping file into the above folder;
3. start cmd.exe from the above folder and run the following command:

Code: Select all

python restoreFileHierarchy.py [map_file] [input_dir] [output_dir]

where map_file is the path of the name mapping file (see following posts), and input_dir is the the path of the hash sequence files, and output_dir is the path for the renamed files. If not specified, map_file would be "manifest.map", and input_dir & output_dir both set to the path where the script is executed.
So if your name mapping file is indeed named "manifest.map" then you can simply just run

Code: Select all

python restoreFileHierarchy.py

and that's it.
4. use the BMS script to assign extensiones to the remaining files that're not renamed. Files would then be copied into a folder named "nameless".

Converted manifest map file that combined all files from v2.9.0 of the China version and 8000+ files from v3.2.2 of the Worldwide version (most are duplicate):

manifest.7z

If a password is required, you can either try guessing it, or send me a message (if that's possible) or leave a comment here.
Either way, read the last line of my signature!

Hey, i can't understand what to put on the "python restoreFileHierarchy.py [map_file] [input_dir] [output_dir]" to make it work. Can you give an example? I've done everything right, place the files in the right places and etc.

[Slad]

Also i want to add, i'm running the "python restoreFileHierarchy.py", because the map file is named manifest. When i run it in cmd it says, that 0 files have been renamed among the 18708 in list. What should i do?

[Bigchillghost]

Well first of all, it is suggested NOT to quote the full context of the entire main post coz it might be updated in the future and you're making the thread too overwhelmed and more difficult for mantainance. Also it's usually unclear which part of the context you're refering to, or if you've actually read and absorbed it.

The "[]" is a habitual notation for optional arguments and "<>" is usually used as a placeholder of required arguments. The meaning of each argument has already been explained in the first post, but if you just want an example, here's one:

Code: Select all

python restoreFileHierarchy.py myManifest.myExtension "C:\files to be renamed" D:\files_renamed

Mind the double quotation marks coz they're necessary for path with spaces.

I saw in the other thread you've got some files renamed so the question is, what did you do exactly regarding extracting the unnamed files? You're NOT supposed to use the Zip64Unpacker script in this post for that task.

Pardon, where can I find manifest.map from v3.3.5 in game files or at least information about file names to add it to current manifest.map?

Thanks in advance.

Read the 2nd paragraph in this post:

Nowadays it can only be partially dumped through memory.

hey guys, can anyone pls update the manifest.map file as there's latest version 3.5.2a of Asphalt 9 game?

[Bigchillghost]

Complete manifest.map for v3.5.2a here:

manifest.7z

What's left unrenamed are the original encrypted manifest files of each split package so you can just ignore them.

[Bigchillghost]

Complete manifest.map for v3.6.3a:

manifest.7z

[UB833]

I'm not able to extract the latest manifest.map file since winrar asked me for a password.
