I edited too textures in the game, and still works everything fine.
To test whether importing textures work or not I exported textures and then imported them back without editing them and it still doesn't work.
I touched nothing.Just exported then imported but still black screen.

To find out where is the problem, I suggest you: repack the rmdp file, and unpack the new files, and compare the unpacked files from the original and the unpacked files from repacked.
If somewhere is a size different, probably there is the source of the problem.

I hope you use the 0.4b version of tool.

I'm using 0.4b version.
I repacked the rmdp file without editing anything and when I tried to unpack the new file I got an error.

Did you replaced or renamed the bin2 and rmdp2 file too, to bin/rmdp?

This happens even if you try to do the same with smaller bin/rmdp files?

Yes,I do rename them. :]
I edited some of the textures from smaller bin/rmdp files and repacked it(ep999-000-en).The game runs and it works perfectly.I can see edited textures in game.
I do the same thing with main bin/rmdp file but no luck.Just black screen.

I don't know what to do. I made the new .fsb files and replaced the originals, than I imported this files to bin/rmdp(en) and renamed result. But the game still play english versions.
Who can tell me where are "CINE" audio files?

Steps:
-Unpack everything from the bin/rmdp
-delete everything, what you won't edit or change, so in this case, leave only the string_table.bin and it's subfolder
-paste there the translated string_table.bin.txt
-run the tool if you closed, open the bin file, Import
Respected evin, thank you for the program, but I have it all working.
He did everything as you wrote, but the option "convert text file" does not convert the*.bin file to *.txt.
Sorry for my bad English
