Features & Improvements

This fork introduces significant improvements over the original release, resolving many critical errors and optimizing the core architecture.

Key Additions & Fixes:

• Batch Audio Import/Export: Added the ability to mass export and import FSBS audio resources as OGG files. Includes robust memory management fixes (bounds checking, memory leak/corruption fixes) to ensure the editor won't crash when encountering corrupted game files.
• Crash Fixes: Resolved critical crashes when previewing audio files directly in the editor, allowing seamless playback and inspection.
• Texture Viewer: Restored and fixed the ability to view .dds textures natively within the editor.
• App Icon: Added a proper application icon.
• Optimized Rebuilding: Safely patches resource libraries using a full rebuild approach to prevent file corruption.
• Automated UI/UX Fixes: Console output has been refined and UI copy/paste issues fixed.

Patching Notes & Recommendations

When patching resources back into the game, please follow these strict formatting rules to prevent game crashes:

🔊 Audio Files (.wavb / .fsbs)

• When preparing custom sounds to patch into the game, ensure your audio file is encoded as .ogg.
• The file must have the following parameters: 48000 Hz sample rate, Mono channel.

🔤 Fonts (.swf)

• Font resources are stored as Flash Movie (.swf) files.
• Recommendation: Export the original font resource to disk, open it using JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler, make your typography changes, save the new .swf, and then patch it back to the game.

🌐 Localization & Text Lists (.locm / .locr / .teli)

• Subtitles, UI strings, and localization texts can be modified in two ways:
  1. Directly in the Editor: Double-click the text entries in the UI to change them and hit "Patch Back To Game".
  2. JSON Export/Import: Right-click the .textlist file, choose "Export Resource" to save a .json file, edit it externally, and use "Import JSON (Replace Localization)" to apply it back.

🛡️ Automatic Backups & Restoration

To protect your original game files, the editor automatically creates backups (.bak files) before applying any patches to the .pc_resourcelib or .pc_headerlib files for the first time.

• If something goes wrong or the game crashes after a patch, you can easily restore your files.
• Use the Restore Backups option found in the Tools menu within the Scene viewer to revert to the original unmodded game files instantly.
