ABOUT

This is a little editor for data tables in Bravely Default and Bravely Second. It unpacks the crowd files, organizes data into speadsheets whenever possible, and packs edited files and spreadsheets into a mod.

USAGE

This tool is only compatible with an extracted RomFS. You'll need to do this first with other tools such as GodMode9 or DotNet3DS. Follow this link for help with GodMode9.

When that is done, you can run executable from the Releases page. To unpack the files and make spreadsheets, just browse for the RomFS folder, select which game is being used, and select Unpack.

Unpacked files will be dumped in the folder romfs_unpacked. There you can edit spreadsheets or any of the other file with a hex editor. When done, run the executable, browse for romfs_unpacked, and click Pack to pack the files and build a mod. The mod will be output in the folder romfs_packed, along with a log file listing each file modified. You can run your mod on your console, for example, with Luma LayeredFS.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Editing files, even in a spreadsheet, will be a bit complicated. Please read this carefully:

• The executable is only compatible with spreadsheets of the .xls format. Do not reformat these files into .xlsx or anything else.

• Unpacking and packing files can be a bit slow. You can speed this up by removing large folders you won't be modding, such as Graphics or Sound. Never remove files individually, as this can lead to issues when packing crowds.

• Some spreadsheets have text in them. These columns are labeled Text and Labels. When these are present you'll also see some columns labeled Text Pntr and Label Pntr. These columns need to be updated if you change any text, but don't worry! The tool will automatically update them for you!

• You can label column headers in any spreadsheet you're reading or editing. These headers will be saved in the romfs_packed/headers_XX folder and will be used when unpacked in the future. Don't move or delete this folder.
