No Support for packing BFFNT v4.1

[Tyulis]

Congratulations : you found a new version ^^"
If you don't mind I'll first finish the BFFNT stuff and then i'll try to fix that. But thank you very much for your contribution !

[Tyulis]

It would be very difficult to keep a quick made extractor in the BFFNT module. So this is what i'll do :

• a BNTX extractor. The BFFNT extractor will just extract the BNTX section, and then call the BNTX extractor
• Then a BNTX packer to rebuild them
• And finally the full BFFNT packer that will call the BNTX packer

It may be a bit longer, but it's necessary to keep the consistency of 3DSkit, and just to rebuild correctly the files.

Thanks for your commitment!

Unfortunately I'm a newbie on this and not know very much. Would like to help...

@masagrator helped me a lot. Just as you have helped a lot of people too and me.

When finish let us know. And we can ends ours projects. Thanks!

[masagrator]

Don't try to run it from python command line. Just put this whole line to cmd with python at the beginning

[Tyulis]

That's because the BFFNT packer is not released yet ^^
Don't know why did i put this in the Readme so early...

[apolope]

Thanks for agile answer, congratulation for your commitment. I'm waiting for the launch of this feature, so I finish the translation of the game. I would like to be able to help you implement, but I do not know much about python. I'm available for whatever I can help. Thanks so very much.

[masagrator]

I see that this was for many months in readme. Is this feature progressing or not?
I would be happy for every to->BNTX or to->CMAP converter.

I develop 3DSkit on my free time...

And the problem is that i don't have free time.
So i try to answer to issues as fast as i can, but i can't work on this as fast as i'd like. Making a module is quite complicated, as it is not always well documented, so i have to document, program, test, re-program, ... And BFFNT is one of the most complicated formats i worked on.

Anyway, don't know why this was in the Readme.
I'll try to do that, and as always any help is welcome for other formats ^^

[Tyulis]

Just a few news : the BNTX packer is on the way, i'm just struggling with texture compression but it should be done today or tomorrow.

Regarding the BNTX extractor:

3DSkit.py -xf BNTX __Combined.bntx -v

Excuse me if I reported this too soon, or it might be

currently only extracts uncompressed 2…

[Tyulis]

The BNTX packer is seemingly working, now i start the BFFNT packer ^^

[apolope]

Very good and congratulation for your work. I was job travel, and now go test.

[Tyulis]

Pfff... Really sorry for the wait, no time at all this month...
Anyway, it works quite well, just a few things to fix and it should be done

[Tyulis]

So....
Finally it's committed, you can try if it works ^^

[TROguz]

Good new. Can you share bffnt repack tools?

[Tyulis]

They are already in the repo, just pull it ^^

[TROguz]

Oh, nice. Thank you. I want to edit zelda botw and wind waker hd fonts. This bffnt script its work on Wii U games?

[TROguz]

Why give me error script?
SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character

[TROguz]

Can you build this tools?

[masagrator]

This is python script. What you want to build?
I will test it in couple of days on Super Mario Party fonts.

[TROguz]

I want bffnt unpack repack fonts. But script give me error for unpack.
Example Zelda wind waker hd fonts: https://www94.zippyshare.com/v/4JOtjm8y/file.html

[masagrator]

For me your WiiU bffnt is extracting normally, json is good, but textures are broken.
python 3dskit.py -x -O origin=CAFE CKingMain.bffnt

[TROguz]

Thanks but where is the problem?
https://prnt.sc/nv28fl

[Tyulis]

Currently it only repacks Switch fonts, but i'm working on WiiU ones.
I'll take a look at your file ^^

[TROguz]

Thanks but i cant unpack. Can you make tutorial video for unpack and repack?
Thanks for everything.
