Error on file auto_yus_us.bin
I have a problem with this file, auto_yus_us.bin. Using unpack and repack without editing, the game crashes. I could not figure out the problem because all the other files are edited perfectly.
Any news about fixing this error? Only this file is in trouble. The other files work fine.

Hello, I also have the same issue. I am translating this game into russian and only this file causes crash.

This auto_yus_us.bin crashes just using the Pulse tool. Without changing anything, just unpack and repack. But Albeoris still no reply. Very sad for us. This is the only tool I know of for the FF13LR.

I think it has to do with ZTR, the text is uncompressed when I pack it, in the original it is compressed. Do you maybe know how to pack ztr, so the text becomes compressed?
Also I wrote to Albeoris privately, let's just hope he responds too. We can try to figure it out together, if you want. Do you have discord?
But all ZTR files are decompressed. Why just this file would issue to be unpacked? Pulse does not compress any of the files.

Maybe it's some weird coding, you know Square enix. If you look at hex of changed file, all of the text is decompressed. In original it is totally compressed. Maybe if we can compress it the same way as in original, then the game will work.
I also noticed. If we take auto_wil_us. Packed ztr is compressed. So you dont see text in hex editor. This is not the case however for auto_yus_us.
But all the files after Pulse are uncompressed. Why would this file be a problem? The archives of other cities are uncompressed and work. This is the only file that causes a problem.

https://ibb.co/3dgMLfS This is auto_yus before we pack ztr https://ibb.co/HF97Y2p This is auto_yus after we pack ztr
Now to compare with other files https://ibb.co/J5LbDpj This is auto_wil AFTER we pack ztr
So you see, maybe this auto_yus file has another compression method that is not supported by pulse. or somehow it fails to put the text back, because there is different structure or it cant compress it back I might be wrong here, I have no idea, but if we put files from other languages like spanish/italian/japanese and etc of the same file, they also work fine.
Maybe someone revert this ZtrFileTextUnpacker and make possible compress ZTR file.

Actually, I tested it one more time, if I just pack it without changing, then it is ok. But as soon as atleast one character changes, then game crashes. This is so weird...
Just using the file in the tool already crashes. You don't need to edit anything.

Hm? The tool doesn't crash for me, it does unpack it/pack it,
Game crash if use this file on Pulse. You do not need to edit anything in the file. Just unpack and repack using this Pulse and the crash game

For me if I just unpack/repack the game doesn't crash, only if I change 1 symbol inside ztr.
Now it crashes even if it is compressed when I open it with hex. So that is not the problem, I guess. Interesting thing is, if you put any random file instead of auto_yus then game works. Like if I replace it with auto_wil, it is ok for a game. But as soon as pulse does something ,then it's crash. My programming skills are not really good, so I don't know what can cause this... Maybe it's during wpd packing process?
What I also noticed that after packing file thru pulse, those 00 bytes after header get removed https://ibb.co/MZXbkfX This is original auto_yus and after we pack it, those 00 bytes are gone. https://ibb.co/MZXbkfX
Still game runs fine, if we don't change anything. But maybe it corrupts the structure of the file somehow?
You can insert ZTR into WPD manually via Hex. Albeoris needs to look at this. Why only this file causes a problem. When all other files work when using Pulse, it is strange that this file causes a problem.

He told me that files are inserted at the end of archive and it can map to a memory which is used by the game. So we need maybe some packer that can put game files in order and implement defragmentation, which will remove gaps in archives. (That’s what Albeoris said)
You could delete a few lines of text and leave the empty text keys. If you leave the text uncompressed with the same size as the original compressed and test whether the game gives crash. If the problem is the file size uncompressed and play memory buffer. I don't have the game here to test.

Okay I will try it. But I tried placing files from Spanish version or Italian version to English Version which have different sizes, then game runs fine, no crash.
But the uncompressed file is twice the size of the original archive.

Ah yeah you are right, maybe I can also try to remove all lines from Ztr and pack too? I will try when I get home
Using this 00000001_auto_yus_us.zip not crash.
WPD file auto_yus_us.zip. Game not crash using this WPD smaller than original.
Files need compression to function properly on the FF13LR. We need Albeoris' help.
Yeah you are right, it works. I wrote him about the issue and that we need compression.
He told me there is some CompressZTRContent method instead of FakeCompression, which greatly reduces ztr file size, thought not completely like the original file. I packed ztr with this, I determined that maximum file size is 256 kb. If you insert just one more line, it crashes. I used my Russian translation file and for me it is about 1176 lines. After 1177 it crashes.
256kb for this WPD and ZTR pack or 256kb for ZTR file? 1176 lines for strings files?

256 kb for WPD with ZTR. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YerCZryZGS-y5NdhucaQ7l72GGuLam5B/view?usp=sharing Here is working file.
Can you send me the method to use CompressZTR?
It is already in Pulse, in file ZtrFileKeysPacker, change FakeCompression to CompressZTRContent. As Albeoris said, this only compresses keys of ztr, as it was needed by Final Fantasy XIII-2 menus to work correctly, as I remember.
I didn't use this on the FF13-2. The solution was to use something that already existed and I have the translation to finalize the files for so many years. Did you make any modifications to use Pulse on the FF13LR or as I only use Pulse on ZTR?
