Am I to understand the current tool opens BTTF ttarch files (like 1_BackToTheFuture101_pc_data, 4_BackToTheFuture101_pc_tx) etc?

What "game number" are you choosing in the command line to make this work? (there are 40 of them!)

Thanks!

I'm working directly on "0_dlog.ttarch" file, this is an example of Main Menu

Anyway, can you tell me what is your working method? So I can help in some way :D
We extract landb files with ttarchext program. And than we use tt tools to extract txt files from landb files. There are 27 files (english) in the 0_dlog.ttarch and we translate these text files and put them back. Maybe tt tools program needs to be updated.

We can see translated in-game dialogs. We also translate in-game menus but it is still in English, I couldn't understand that.

Are you using hex editors or something for "0_dlog.ttarch" file? We really need some help for that, maybe we need to change the method :)

Yes, I open the "0_dlog.ttarch" file with an Hex editor (in my case it is "0xED" for Mac) and replace the text that i found during the game.. It's a very very slow method because i need to play the game and write down all the text, then I must search them inside the file and finally replace in other language.. it's the only method I know but i can change everything i need to change, including menu text..

Where can I download the "ttarchext program" and the "tt tools"? So I take a test.. Thanks! :D

Here's my solution:
- Extract .font files
- Open a .font file in hex editor
- Find 'DDS' string (that's the font DDS texture header)
- Select all bytes to the end of file
- Write selected block to disk as <somefont>.dds
- Edit .dds file to your needs in a suitable bitmap editor (font's in the alpha channel of the image), don't change its format in any way (DXT5 - Interpolated Alpha)
- Replace block (in the hex editor) to the new file. Or alternatively, truncate the .font file at the 'DDS' byte position and append the new .dds file to its end.

Here's my solution for edit *.FONT.
1) Open TTG Tools.
2) Click "Font Editor".
3) Open file
4) Click on row with need texture in first table and choose "Export"
5) Edit dds. (You can change size of dds)
6) Step 1-4
7) Click on row with need texture in table and choose "Import"
8 ) edit in second table coordinates of char. If you need.
9) Save your font.
Have fun.

I'm sorry, i can't figure out how to extract a ttarch file from the back to the future game. I need to extract the archive that contains the music. Could an experienced user please extract the "3_BackToTheFuture_ms_pc.ttarch" file for me? I know you guys all want to translate the game but could someone please help me? Also, if you're extracting the file with ttarchext, could you please use the option to automatically convert the music to .ogg files? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
