Love Plus Arcade TXP2 .bin Texture Files

[Cetaceaqua]

These bin files have TXP2 headers and can be unpacked and repacked using bemaniutils / afputils, but repacking writing process is extremely slow.

IFS LayeredFS can replace repacked bin files, but cannot directly replace individual texture.

In ifs_hook.log:

M:statting /data/graphic/tex_warning_logo_title.bin
M:Regenerating cache
M:bad magic
W:Texbin load failed, aborting modding
M:opening /data/graphic/tex_warning_logo_title.bin mode 0 flags 420
M:Regenerating cache
M:bad magic
W:Texbin load failed, aborting modding

So I think they should be different from the supported Jubeat or GFDM .bin files.

I want to try to add translation to the game by replacing textures of buttons and tip texts. Is it possible to support this .bin format file here?

Thanks alot!

Ah, so that's the game using big-endian texbin files. I'll implement that to fix it.

Though it may save me some time - can you send a repacked .bin that works? I'm wondering if I can read both formats but just write one, or if writes need to support both.

Sure. Here is a repacked .bin that I replaced the tex000.png inside it.

Thanks!

Aw, looks like it'll be a little bit more work. I'll try and get it done in a week or 2.

Actually, because I'm being really lazy and any help is appreciated - if you could give me the commands you used to unpack/repack, just in case I find something "right" that ends up being totally not matching

[Cetaceaqua]

I packed afputils to exe using pyinstaller, so my commands are just afputils extract tex.bin \same_output_dir and afputils update tex.bin \same_output_dir\tex.

Here are a pair of python scripts from dear ChatGPT for extracting all bins to the same directory structure, and updating all bins with the same name from the same directory structure.

So I've actually started looking into this again, and while the base textures appear the same, the TXP2 format is a different container to the TEXP, and it's complicated :( There are some other games using this format (HELLO! POP'N MUSIC, Sound Voltex Booth), but because it's more work than I expected, I don't really have the time to implement it for now.

I understand you have other priorities! Thank you for your work, and I hope you'll have some spare time to add this support in the future.
