# msg-tool msg-tool is a command-line tool for exporting, importing, packing, and unpacking script files. ## How to Compile ```bash git clone https://github.com/lifegpc/msg-tool cargo build --release # Build with all features enabled cargo build --release --no-default-features --features=circus # Build with only specific features enabled. See supported types below. ``` ## Exit Codes By default, msg-tool will always return exit code 0 unless a exit signal is received (such as Ctrl+C). You can use the `--exit-code` / `-x` option to specify a non-zero exit code when some jobs failed. If all jobs failed, you can use the `--exit-code-all-failed` / `-X` option to specify a different exit code. ## Basic Usage ### Extract messages from script files ```bash msg-tool export [output] ``` Some script files cannot be detected automatically. You can specify the type of script file with the `--script-type` / `-t` option. ```bash msg-tool export -t [output] ``` If the script file is an image file, you can specify the output type of the image file with the `--image-type` / `-i` option. ```bash msg-tool export -i webp [output] ``` If the script file is an archive file, it will be unpacked and will try to extract messages/images/audio from the unpacked files. If you don't want to extract, please use the `unpack` command. If the input is a directory, all script files in the directory will be processed. (The `-r` / `--recursive` option is needed if you want to process files in subdirectories.) ### Import data into script files ```bash msg-tool import ``` ### Pack files into an archive ```bash msg-tool pack -t [output] # Pack multiple files/folders into an archive # If output is not specified, the archive file will be named with the first input's name with the appropriate extension. # Use --dep-file xxxx.d to generate a dep file for other build systems. (such as ninja) msg-tool pack-v2 -t -o ... ``` ### Unpack an archive file ```bash msg-tool unpack [output] ``` Some archive files cannot be detected automatically. You can specify the type of archive file with the `--script-type` / `-t` option. ### Create a new script file ```bash msg-tool create -t ``` ## Supported Output Script Types - `json` - [GalTransl](https://github.com/GalTransl/GalTransl)'s JSON format - `m3t` / `m3ta` - A simple text format that supports both original/llm/translated messages. - `yaml` - Same as `json`, but in YAML format. - `po`/`pot` - Gettext PO/POT format. ## Supported Image Types | Image Type | Feature Name | |---|---| | `png` | `image` (enabled automatically if any image script types are enabled) | | `jpg` | `image-jpg` | | `webp` | `image-webp` | | `jxl` | `image-jxl` | ## Supported Script Types ### Artemis Engine | Script Type | Feature Name | Name | Export | Import | Export Multiple | Import Multiple | Custom Export | Custom Import | Create | Remarks | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | `artemis` | `artemis` | Artemis Engine AST file (.ast) | ✔️ | ✔️ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | | | `artemis-asb` | `artemis` | Artemis Engine ASB file (.asb/.iet) | ✔️ | ✔️ | ❌ | ❌ | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ | For `.iet` files, only custom export/import and create features are supported. | | `artemis-txt` | `artemis` | Artemis Engine TXT (General) script | ✔️ | ✔️ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | | | `artemis-panmimisoft-txt` | `artemis-panmimisoft` | Artemis Engine TXT ([ぱんみみそふと](https://pannomimi.net/panmimisoft)) file (.txt) | ✔️ | ✔️ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | | | Archive Type | Feature Name | Name | Unpack | Pack | Remarks | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | `artemis-arc`/`pfs` | `artemis-arc` | Artemis Engine archive file (.pfs) | ✔️ | ✔️ | | | `artemis-pf2`/`pf2` | `artemis-arc` | Artemis Engine Archive File (.pfs) (pf2) | ✔️ | ✔️ | | ### Buriko General Interpreter / Ethornell | Script Type | Feature Name | Name | Export | Import | Export Multiple | Import Multiple | Custom Export | Custom Import | Create | Remarks | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | `bgi`/`ethornell` | `bgi` | Buriko General Interpreter/Ethornell Script | ✔️ | ✔️ | ❌ | ❌ | ✔️ | ✔️ | ❌ | Some old games' scripts cannot be detected automatically | | `bgi-bsi`/`ethornell-bsi` | `bgi` | Buriko General Interpreter/Ethornell BSI Script (._bsi) | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ | | | `bgi-bp`/`ethornell-bp` | `bgi` | Buriko General Interpreter/Ethornell BP Script (._bp) | ✔️ | ✔️ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | | | `bgi-dsc`/`ethornell-dsc` | `bgi-arc` | Buriko General Interpreter/Ethornell compressed file in archive | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ | | | Archive Type | Feature Name | Name | Unpack | Pack | Remarks | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | `bgi-arc-v1`/`ethornell-arc-v1` | `bgi-arc` | Buriko General Interpreter/Ethornell Archive File Version 1 (.arc) | ✔️ | ✔️ | | | `bgi-arc`/`bgi-arc-v2`/`ethornell-arc`/`ethornell-arc-v2` | `bgi-arc` | Buriko General Interpreter/Ethornell Archive File Version 2 (.arc) | ✔️ | ✔️ | | | Audio Type | Feature Name | Name | Export | Import | Create | Remarks | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | `bgi-audio`/`ethornell-audio` | `bgi-audio` | Buriko General Interpreter/Ethornell Audio File (Ogg/Vorbis) | ✔️ | ❌ | ❌ | | | Image Type | Feature Name | Name | Export | Import | Export Multiple | Import Multiple | Create | Remarks | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | `bgi-img`/`ethornell-img` | `bgi-img` | Buriko General Interpreter/Ethornell Uncompressed Image File | ✔️ | ✔️ | ❌ | ❌ | ✔️ | Image files in `sysgrp.arc` | | `bgi-cbg`/`ethornell-cbg` | `bgi-img` | Buriko General Interpreter/Ethornell Compressed Image File | ✔️ | ✔️ | ❌ | ❌ | ✔️ | V2 is not supported when importing/creating image | ### CatSystem2 | Script Type | Feature Name | Name | Export | Import | Export Multiple | Import Multiple | Custom Export | Custom Import | Create | Remarks | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | `cat-system` | `cat-system` | CatSystem2 Scene Script File (.cst) | ✔️ | ✔️ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | | | `cat-system-cstl` | `cat-system` | CatSystem2 Scene I18N File (.cstl) | ✔️ | ✔️ | ❌ | ❌ | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ | | | Archive Type | Feature Name | Name | Unpack | Pack | Remarks | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | `cat-system-int` | `cat-system-arc` | CatSystem2 Archive File (.int) | ✔️ | ❌ | Encrypted archives are supported too.
