tin files are dds only texture pack.
Hey there!

Thanks for all your tools. I'm not rushing you too, but with the textdict editor you can insert a longer text into the game and it doesn't crash?

I'm asking because I made some tests and it supports unicode characters (via Hex Editing), but I can't write longer text into it, or else it will crash.

I hope your editor will solve this problem :)

...also what are in those .tin files? I just want to dub the game and translate the text.

Indeed, that's what editors are made for ;-) You can freely translate texts and all indexes, offsets etc are regenerated to original format.

I have no tin editor but there are just DDS files (without header) inside.

Well so I think I will prepare translator for public release to give you a chance to translate DeathSpank in easy way :-)

Thanks for preparing it :) I have a question... are your tools open source? I really like programming (vb.net) but i have no idea of file formats, and I'd like to change it. Greetings.

No, I'm not giving source codes for download. But I think it is not needed for you. If you are developer, you can made your own tools. All you need is to know data structure. Everything is about reading values from files and writing back, that's all :-)

Well, so as I said before, here is my DeathSpank TextDict Translator.

Code: Select all

http://raptor.cestiny.cz/download/deathspank-textdict-translator.html
This version is not so finished to be the best with all comfort, but it works and I don't have much time to finish it. It is used on my own for game translation and if you want to test it, go for it. Just open textdict file, use Export all to xml from Data menu, translate file in excel or somewhere and use Import from xml. It is better then translating in editor window :-)

Any question or problem? Just send me PM or anything ;-)

Maybe you are trying to select original gg file as output one?
-Open gg file
-Select Patch button
-Enter NEW filename - don't try to overwrite input file
-Select root folder with extracted files (with original directory structure like extractor made). File names are compared with full name.

Great job XRaptor. When can we expect extractor for TOV? :keke:

Does anyone know how to change the font?

ehm, yes :-) I have "GONT convert tool", but it is not fully tested. I will do it asap. It converts gont to dds and xml with config (size, positions, kernings, etc) and back to gont.

Hi :) Is there any way to show characters like "ñ" or "á,é,í,ó,ú"? I saved the textdict in normal mode and in ASCII mode, but it doesn't work. Thanks.

ASCII export is just for my Czech tests - it removes diacritics :-). If you want to display all other characters, you have to change font files. There are only base characters.
