Hi, I'm trying to make changes to the script of the English release of 恋がさくころ桜どき. I extracted patch.xp3 with xp3viewer (original xp3 here - https://mega.nz/#!6s8y3CyK!PjMofn8mni9XcWsNFJwxj24ho01V9j2vbg1dk0LHGMY, extracted xp3 (xp3viewer) here - https://mega.nz/#!Hh0RRC5B!d7LquAOW7g-5CtrnO7TEz2qsoBmDU1vyJ3IeYgn1Rao). After checking that the scenario files are not encrypted, I repacked the whole thing without making any changes (to test it) with xp3tools, but the game won't start (error - https://imgur.com/a/FheeG).
In case it was a repacking issue so I tried using Kirikiri2 (tool krkrrel.exe) - same issue as with xp3tools. Also same issue when using AE. I also tried kikiriki, but that didn't work at all for extraction or repacking. It doesn't like the English version .exe - https://imgur.com/a/gByeo). Then I tried repacking with krkrExtract, but that crashes during patch creation. I tried converting all the text files to UCS-2 LE BOM, but that didn't quite work out.
As I was out of options, I thought something went wrong during extraction. Apparently, the ideal tool for this game is xp3dumper 0.2.1. I used it (the gui), but it keeps crashing when extracting the 93rd file (the first 92 files are extracted just fine, I can see the contents and everything). Crage produces mumbojumbo; KrkrExtract was the same good yet unrepackable result as xp3viewer.
In the end, I tried 5 extracting tools and 5 repacking tools, yet I still don't know how to pack the script without breaking everything. I don't care about fancy image editing or anything. All I want to do is to change the character name tags/display names (and also change the names in all lines they appear in, obviously). Any help with this is appreciated. Thanks for your reply.
