Guest Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Thanks to @Rin Tohsaka for the suggsestion. Here are some links to the non fucked up version of the thread. Quote Your original posts are preserved on both archive.org, so you may at least want to edit the first post of this thread and add this link: http://wayback.archive.org/web/20150619053444/http://forums.fuwanovel.net:80/topic/4887-data-extraction-thread/ Heck, even the downloads seem to be archived; the only exception is arc_conv, but the original download link for it still works (therefore you may want to quickly edit in a mention of this link as well): https://github.com/dsp2003/arc_conv/archive/master.zip Reminder : If you want to help expand this thread or format it feel free to do so. I am not active anymore so please contact moderators. __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ Long time idea. If for whatever reason you need some data from a game, would it be music, sprites, CG's and if like me you SUCK with computers, well worry no more because I have the solution for you. How is this thread going to work ? - All the info is going to be centered in the two first posts, first one will be File types, second one will be Versatile tools. - I'm going to explain the process to extract for each file type. If you don't know what type a VN uses, look into your game file dummy! - However, some applications were specificly made to extract files from some Visual Novels in particular. If that is the case it will be specified. - Contributions are highly appriciated. Either PM me with the extraction process thoughfully explained or post in this thread with the same kind of format that I will use. - If ever you extract files from a game which wasn't verified or not listed with one of these methods, please report it and tell us what was is in each file. Thank you. I am not a coder, none of these applications are mine. The sole purpose of the thread it to regroup the scatered information you may hardly find online. PM me if there is a link problem. _____________________________________________________________________ .xp3 FilesFate Stay/NightVerified File Types Spoiler Crass Method,see "Verstaile tools" at the bottom of the post Spoiler Works with : Spoiler G senjou no Maou Verified Spoiler Can extract : bgm.xf3 : Background music bgimage.xf3 : Background images data.xf3 : script files and random stuff (background effects, menu images) evimage.xf3 : Event images aka CG's face.xf3 : Face sprites displaying next to the text fgimage : Character Sprites gstring_pX.xf3 : other script files images.xf3 : menu images voice.xf3 : all the voice acting Spoiler !

Now right click on it : Open with > chose the default program > get exkifint_v2.exe Whether you use v1, v2 or v3 doesn't seem to have any logic. For me v2 works but v3 doesn't. Now you just have to wait and be patient for the extracting to end. If you extracted Image.int : Okay you are allowed to cry for a second. Now the files in all that mess which interest us are the .hg3 files ! Create a new folder in which you will copy/cut all of these. Unless you want to decompress everything (good luck son) here are a few things about the way they are sorted. Spoiler [*]The three letters indicate too which character it belongs too. Example : MIC/mic = michiru.[/*] [*]If the three letter are first it's a CG or a Background image associated to the character's route[/*] If it's a sprite The files beginning with a t or a T are character sprites.[/*] [*]Before the last letter there are some zeros.[/*] No Zero : Body sprite Two zeros : Face sprite Three zeros : Mouth sprite If after these three letters there are two numbers, let's say XY, these mean that these sprite go together with other XY (proportion, posture, luminosity).[/*] That's all I found for now Right click the file of the group of files selected > Open with > chose hgx2bmp.exe This will create .bmp files which are bitmap files.

We often stumble upon them after extracting character sprites. Most image editors will be able to read them but only a few will keep the alpha channel. What we want is to convert a large amount of BMP files into PNG which is a standard image format and is much easier to use. S&L Method Spoiler This may cause slight data loses which can me a problem if you plan to repack them into BMP. No graphic issues though. Download this : Here - Extract it into the BMP sprites root folder - Run convert.bat to extract all the folders and the sub-folders into PNG Thanks to Steve and Luch for helping and writing the process AnimED method Spoiler Has the advantage of not losing data in the extraction process, meaning this tool can be used to unpack and pack images.

You may extract a .PRS file using the second bundled bms script by typing in command prompt : You will obtain "CHR041.PRS.unpacked" which should actually be renamed as "CHR041.TM2" quickbms.exe _princess_nightmare_prs_unpacking.bms CHR041.PRS Use the _convert_tm2.cmd batchfile to convert .TM2 files into .PNG.

NOT SCREEN SAVERS Use the E17 SCR Tool if you want to mess with it. It's fairly easy to use. Spoiler Make separate directory for each .scr file (not required, but strongly recommended) Open .scr file via E17 SCR tool and press "Export chunks" button. Repeat for each .scr file You'll get bunch of xxxx.scr_chunk_xxx files, which are now can be easely edited via HEX editor. The 0x01 opcode is used for word wrapping. After saving results of your work, open .scr file which lies along with chunks and (if "Automatically import on loading" option is enabled) you'll get xxxx.scr_compiled with freshly edited strings (if autoimport is not enabled, just hit "Import chunks"). "Save copy into directory" does exactly that - when compilation is finished, it copies xxxx.scr_compiled into entered path and renames file into xxxx.scr. Once you'll recompile all edited scripts, you can combine them into new script.dat. "Compile from list" is a batch compilation mode, which requires two conditions: a) All scr files must be placed into their own subdirectories. For example: op00\op00.scr, sa01\sa01.scr, etc. B) The list must contain directory names ONLY, which names must match with corresponding .scr files.

The "Unpack Data Files" are batch commands that will allow you to convert everything at once \o/. Click on Unpack Data Files.bat and wait until the command prompt disappears (If it's still there but not doing anything, it still is, trust me) 5 new folders will appear : http://i.imgur.com/NlVhGHH.jpg Data 3/4/5 have formats which shouldn't be a problem to open. Data 1-2 however partly contain AFD files, which are images/CG's/sprites. In order to extract them copy/paste these (all the tools) into the DATA1 (Or DATA2) folder : http://imgur.com/oU9Kqg2.jpgThey aren't all necessary, but meh. Then run Unpack Data1 Images.bat (Or Unpack Data2 Images.bat) This should create BMP files. To open or make modification to those, see the .bmp Files section. If you want to repack BMP files into AFD just save as Name.afd and it's done (Be careful not to mess with the alpha channel if you actually want to make modifictations to the game) Source,Source Credit goes to asmodean for the tools and Aroduc for the batch commands. .gxp Files Spoiler AnimED method, see "Verstaile tools" at the bottom of the post Works withbincode : No idea what that iscg : CG's + eye and body spritesdata : data, font and moviessystem : ???voices : Voice acting Spoiler Erect Verified Spoiler bgms : background music Script MIA (it's a nukige, so meh, who cares about the script :3) .rio Files Spoiler F*** rUGP, what a stupid engine.

Zakamutt Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Missing kikiriki for .xp3. Admittedly slightly more unfriendly because it's a command-line tool, but shouldn't be too hard. This is where I got most of my info for it - download here. Not sure whether it does anything special to break encryption or whatever though, anyway... place kikiriki and the dll it comes with in the vn's root directory, open a command prompt there - shift + right-click inside the folder in windows explorer brings up a handy option for this in win7. Download page shows you how to use it, but here's an example of practical usage: kikiriki.exe -i data.xp3 -o d:\VNs\examplefolder\ This successfully extracts the data for World End Economica (which I just used to test) into D:\VNs\examplefolder\. Remember, I had to open my command prompt in the directory WEE was in for this to work (advanced usage omitted). Tools galore: http://tlwiki.org/in...php?title=Tools Yeah there are several tools for xp3. There's suzie too. But Crage handles so many Visual novel that's it often worth trying it first. I've been running test for hours and now Crage decided to crash my computer whenever I extract, making this extra painful. I'll add your method, if you could send a couple pictures to illustrate the thing that would help me. Wow meaf, you have taken on a bit project It will be a lot of work, its not really as simple as one file extension uses the same procedure, different versions of kirikiri use different version of xp3 archive, you need different tools for each of them. You should use this http://haibara4cgrip.wordpress.com/my-cg-ripping-tools-v2-7-english/ Its the latest version of the guide, he updates it about once a year It still doesn't have all the available tools (lot of them are made specifically for one game, but can work with games on the same version of engine) but it has a lot so you can start there. But if you actually finish this project then props to you But it will be hard, very very hard. Oh one more thing, not sure if you will be also including extraction of scripts - extraction of CG/music is pretty straightforward most of the times, but extraction of scripts has another thing on top of it such as obfuscated scrtipts through bitshifting and whatnot. For now i'll stick to the "easy" stuff. But some script file types are pretty redundant (such as ks files) and it way be worth mentionning them. It will be done ... eventually ... ;p Images for kikiriki: http://imgur.com/a/K5dzv Notably WEE has no encryption as all from what I can tell, insertion has worked perfectly for me so far. Don't try to create the archive in the same folder kikiriki is though, it causes cryptic errors (even if you don't name it data.xp3 which has obvious name collision problems) I'm not responsible for naming my D drive warcraft. Blame my dad. Edited April 10, 2015 by Tiagofvarela Hogging this post to try and save some older ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Major Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I think this is something MangaGamer uses a lot. My example here is with Deardrops. I used the ExtractData tool, which can be found on the page you linked too. I specifically used the "Improved English version", not sure if it makes a difference. Probably not. .arc Files Download, unzip, and run ExtractData File > Open File, then find and select your .arc file to be extracted You'll then see all of the files in said .arc file Extract > Extract All, then choose where you want the files to be extracted to Click OK, wait for files to be extracted.

Guest Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Awesome, Thanks a lot. Added ! In Deardrops. Do you know which files contain what ? Or is it all mixed up ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 For NScripter engine: nscript.dat and arc*.nsa Files For the nscripter engine. Extracts the script and resources of the game. Works with: - Umineko no Naku Koro ni (verified) -Theoretically, any other nscripter based game. Script extraction: 1) Download NSDec here, extract it 2) Go to the repertory of your VN, find the file named "nscript.dat" 3) Copy it into the NSDec repertory 4) Run NSDEC.exe You will get a result.txt text file with the script of the whole game. (It takes some time obviously) Resources extraction (sprites, CGs, etc): 1) Download NSAout here, extract it 2) Copy the "nsaout.exe" you just unrar'd into you VN repertory (the one where the arc*.nsa files are) 3) Run nsaout.exe You will get an "arc" folder with everything in it. If someone wants to test other NScripter based engines... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vokoca Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Hm, tried the Crage method for AkaGoei Trinity, and while it did extract the BGMs in .ogg format, I can't play any of them..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Hm, tried the Crage method for AkaGoei Trinity, and while it did extract the BGMs in .ogg format, I can't play any of them..? Don't ogg files open with VLC media player ? Awesome Down, Thanks a lot, I'll add that now. Could you add a picture of the result.txt file ? It's kinda useless but an image allows the text to be a little easier to read . I did the Grisaia .int exception, now to polish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakamutt Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Pretty much everything can be played by foobar2000, moderately recommended (though the UI and certain other thigns leave much to be desired...) VLC takes way too long to launch on audio since it's a video player in my experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Major Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Awesome, Thanks a lot. Added ! In Deardrops. Do you know which files contain what ? Or is it all mixed up ? data01000.arc - files? I don't know what they are. I'll attach an image data02000.arc - sprites and other in-game images, like from lewdy scenes and whatnot data02999.arc - some .bmv files. I don't know what these are. data03000.arc - sounds effects data.04000.arc - voice tracks data.05000.arc - music and some other sound effects sysgrp.arc - Images used for the menus and interface sysprg.arc - ._bp files? I don't know what these are. syssnd.arc - two audio files, the mouse click sounds for menus system.arc - ipl._bp, launcher._bp, VeraMoBd._ft. I have no idea what these are.

Vokoca Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Don't ogg files open with VLC media player ? They should, but it doesn't work for some reason. Weird. Well, I can just go look for the OST somewhere either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange, it works perfectly for me. Oh and if you Crage'd AkaGoei Trinity could you quickly try the other xp3 files and tell me what's in them ?

Clephas Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Try Asmodean's reverse-engineering download page. He has ones for hundreds of VNs on that page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Try Asmodean's reverse-engineering download page. He has ones for hundreds of VNs on that page. Yeah I know of his page, but many are incredibly specific. This is where I got the Grisaia Image extractor for example. But yeah, I'll look into this for sure. Thanks. And thanks Down, I didn't even realize it was the original Umineko. I'll add it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Yeah I know of his page, but many are incredibly specific. Well they need to be very specific since they differ from game to game. Crass just has all that mixed together. However crass and similar universal tools are dead projects for many years now so it doesn't work with lot of new releases. Westside and asmodean are probably the closest you get to something like crass since its all centered on one website and generally the commands are similar. Those 2 update constantly for even the newest releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I'm having issue with .pak files. Even though it seems fairly common the only free tools i've found are either outdated or simply do not work. These do not work, I tested them on Symphonic rain and Dra+KoI - Winrar - Alzip - pakexplorer - paxexlpr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Major Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Just figured out .npa files. I'm pretty sure this is what Nitro+ uses all of the time. my example here is with Saya no Uta, and I'll try it later with my copy of Steins;Gate. The tool I used is NIPA (https://github.com/Wilhansen/nipa/releases) .Npa Files Download nipa.exe Place nipa.exe in the same folder as the .npa files you want to extract data from Open command prompt, then change directory to where you have the .npa files and nipa.exe example cd "c:\Users\username\Desktop\Saya no Uta" Then in command prompt, type nipa -x filename.npa example nipa -x sound.npa This will extract the contents of sound.npa into a new folder named "sound" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Major Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 As for the contents of Saya no Uta: cg.npa - all images nss.npa - a bunch of .nss files. I don't know what these are. sound.npa - all sound effects and music voice.npa - all voice tracks system.npa - system.ini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Thanks a bunch guys ! Zak, did you find a working version of Susie ? I downloaded it here and extracted the thing but the toolbar isn't launching. It's a really old software, I launched it using XP compatibility but that didn't change a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't handle the encryption, it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit : Same for Choas;head I hate to be the guy who couldn't get it to work again, but I think I can confirm that this doesn't work with Muramasa. Can't handle the encryption, it seems. I probably should have mentioned to take a look at the Usage (https://github.com/Wilhansen/nipa#usage) and Supported Games (https://github.com/Wilhansen/nipa#supported-games) section on the nipa project page. For Chaos;Head you'll want to do nipa -xg filename.npa ChaosHead, and nipa -xg filename.npa Muramasa for Muramasa. Even though Saya no Uta isn't on the Supported Games list, it still works for some reason. I can confirm that Steins;Gate doesn't work. I was looking around, and according to this page (https://github.com/FGRE/libnpa#libnpa), "There are 4 known .npa file formats, three of which can be read by nipa tool. This library (currently) implements fourth which is used by Steins;Gate". So apparently Steins;Gate uses a different kind of .npa which NIPA can't read. So Steins;Gate wanted to be different, ruining the fun for the rest of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
