[Client] How to edit client texts ?

[Сорок два]

Hello, here is a guide to help you editing the game client texts.

First download this resource https://community.allods-developers.eu/resources/loc-compiler-extracter.1/

Create a folder and put these two .exe files in this folder. Now, let find our pack.loc file and put it in this root folder too.

You can find the pack.loc here

Client/data/Packs/Texts.pak/bin/pack.loc

Now just open a new command line on your system (cmd, bash, whatever) and use this command to extract pack.loc data into .txt files

./loc.extracter.exe pack.loc

It will create a new folder at the folder root called Extracted.
Now you can edit and/or create your texts files

If you want to create a new text file, the file must be create in UCS-2 Little Endian encodage or you will not have any text in game

When you have finished your work, just write this command to recompile pack.loc

./loc.compiler.exe Extracted/ pack.loc

Then put the new version of pack.loc in Texts.pak and voila, you can now edit and create text in your client !

loc.extracter.exe pack.lock works, but loc.compiler.exe Extracted/pack.loc does not work.
nothing happens at startup

You open your terrminal in the wrong folder, what's whyit doesn't work, the file isn't found. You apparently work into C:/Novaia Papka but your cmd in open in C:/Users/Niki

So once you get your terminal open you need to make cd C:\Novaia Papka then use the command to recompuile

first you need to have pack.loc from a text.pak .. decompile it, you get folders with texts. 30k folder and 252k files.

next open the shell outside the extracted folder and run this command .

./loc.compiler.exe Extracted/ pack.loc
don't delete the space after / .. keep it.

when you run the command it says usage : loc.compiler etc ... nothing else. now press / and you'll see that it is compiling.

same with decompiling, this shit takes hours to compile or recompile. it takes time so just run it and wait.
