Darkness Within BIN files

[Sheen]

Hi,

I would like to translate this game into spanish but i cannot open the bin files. I have tried everything, I think, but nothig.

There is a some-like BMS script for this game and its bin files?

I have uploaded a Bin file, the smallest one, to Megaupload.

File

Thanks.

Code: Select all

get DUMMY long
for FILES = 0
    get DUMMY long
    if DUMMY == 0
        break
    endif
    get SIZE long
    get NAMESZ byte
    getdstring NAME NAMESZ
next FILES

savepos OFFSET
goto 4
for i = 0 < FILES
    get DUMMY long
    get SIZE long
    get NAMESZ byte
    getdstring NAME NAMESZ
    string NAME += _
    string NAME += i
    string NAME += ".lua"
    log NAME OFFSET SIZE
    math OFFSET += SIZE
next i

I think, you are looking for the "local.bin" file, whitch has this structure:

Code: Select all

   -> Header: (4 bytes)
         NrofFiles : WORD;
         Unknown : WORD; // $1000
   -> Directory: (NrOfFiles * 16 bytes)
       for each file:
       -> FileID : DWORD;
       -> RelativeFilePos : DWORD; // from the Start of The "File Data"
       -> FileSize : DWORD; // size of the file, no compression used
       -> CheckSum : DWORD; // the negative of the data's CRC32 value
   -> File Data...

The game text file is the file with FileID 0xFCD0A552

I also created a primitive BIN extractor for the "local.bin" file

Usage: darkeXtr.exe <BIN_File> <TargetDir>
example: darkeXtr.exe local.bin e:\temp\target

A .BIN updater also included!

Usage: darkUpdater.exe <BIN_File> <DataFile_to_Update> <IDnumber>
example: darkUpdater.exe local.bin e:\mytranslation\mytext.txt FCD0A552

Firstly, thanks to both for your support.

You're right bacter, this is the file I needed to translate the game. Anyway, always is a good idea to explore all the files to see if there are some files to change as well. Really there are a couple of files out of Local to change but local.bin is what I needed. Really, you're great! with your executable all bin files has been decompressed, except scripts.bin, but without your updater executable an effective translation would have been impossible. Really, you're great!

Best regards!

Important!
I found a bug in the previous version of my BIN updater, so I replaced it with a new,
hopefully bugfree version!

Hi guys, I have a problem. After updating the file, the game continues in English. So I extracted the local.bin file again and noticed the file FCD0A552 is the same that I translated. Does anyone know why the game was not translated? It is necessary do more than update local.bin? Thanks

I created the GUI version of the BIN extractor,updater. Try that. I hope it's not too hard to use.

Hey!
Why don't you read carefully this topic?

My proggy not supports the scripts.bin file, because it uses a completely different structure, and because there are no useful game resources in that file.
There are no images, text files etc. It contains only compiled lua scripts. I don't think that anyone wants to edit them.
But, if you REALLY need the files inside the script.bin, you need to use the QuickBMS program.
