How to open files with the format "RVDATA2"?

How to open files with the format "RVDATA2"?

With RPGMaker VX / VXAce, those files store different kinds of data which are used by the game, things like items, weapons, enemies, animations.
They don't contain any the graphics for them only the data, such as names, how much damage weapons do, the order and location of a sword animation swinging across the screen, game scripts, etc

So to apply a translation you need to do the first seven steps, and then the next 4 steps? I don't understand how to do the second #1. What am I extracting? Or is it just saying to do the first seven steps? Having trouble getting this translation to do anything.

#1 for applying translations are the first 7 steps.
As you need to extract the data from the encrypted archive and remove the archive, (archives have a higher priority so leaving it in will cause your translation patch to have no effect)

Is there a way to break EST_CS2's script encrypted files like dat files or encrypted scripts?

 

[RpgYumeko]

For image.rgss files there is an extractor or something that can do the trick?

Short guide for new people to help with the unpacking of RPG maker archives.

Note: this only works for RPG maker XP, VX and VX Ace. NOT for MV!

1. Download the decrypter at:

2. Download and install the .net 4.0 framework if needed
3. Run the decrypter.exe file you downloaded in step 1. I usually copy it in the game folder, since it's only 300 kB.
4. Press "file", then "open archive" and navigate to your game folder and select the archive (.rgss file)
5. Then press "Tools" and "Extract all files". The extractor will now start extraction. It will create a new folder in the same location as your archive with the name "extract". It will give you a message when it is ready.
6. Cut the content of the "extract" folder when the extractor is done and paste it in your main game folder. This will most likely include the "graphics" folder. Overwrite where needed.
7. Rename or remove the archive if you're adding translations. If you don't, then the archive will still have priority and nothing changes. This also saves a lot of disk space.

How to apply a partial translation on a Japanese game:

1. Extract the RPG maker archive as instructed above. Don't forget to remove the archive after extracting!
2. Download the partial translation
3. Copy and overwrite the files in the partial translation
4. Run game

literally none of any of these programs or methods work. no matter what I do it refuses to create an archive folder, all it does is create copies of the ".RGSS" file, my guess is that it's one of 3 thigs, either the instructions aren't clear enough for a newby like me. the instructions are incorrect, or the programs are all just fucked.

I tried to use this on exagear to extract the game.rgssa3(revived demon priestiess)but exagear couldnt use it

 

[^/30]

It said success but the extract file doesn't appear in the folder

Excellent little tool, but I did find a tiny flaw in the instructions your gave.

Point 5 of the OP now states that the decrypter: "... will create a new folder in the same location as your archive ...". However this only seems to apply if you follow along the suggestion in point 3: "I usually copy it in the game folder".

When you copy the tool to another location, like a folder dedicated to RPG Maker stuff, than the actual extraction point turns out to be alongside the decrypter's executable, in stead of the rgss archive file.

This could keep users such as the one I quoted or myself searching for ages while prevention only takes a small change, such as: "It will create a new folder with the name "Extract" at the same location where you placed the decrypter".

So I'd hereby like to suggest updating the instructions accordingly. Thank you in advance and keep up the good work!

So, does anyone know why this happens?

It's always worked before, but after the 1.12 update of Kamesutra, all of the common events, variables, and switches are blank. It's the only game that does this. I'm trying to help the dev optimize his events, but I can't really do that if I can't even see the events. I've tried a few extractors but none of them have worked. Any help is much appreciated, please and thank you!

Maybe the creator erased those keywords by himself as a way to prevent from making mods or cheating save files.
I don't know how he did it by, manual work or special scripts.

Nope, talked to the man himself. He has no idea. It's really confusing, because it's the only game that does this, as far as I know.

? You talked Naughty Turtle directly about extracting tool? What's purpose ?

Naughty Turtle is game creator, and you (including me and all extracting tool users) are game reverse engineer.
We are opposite sides from him, in a way we are enemies for him. I think we should avoid talking around him about reverse engineering.
