This tool is designed to read RPG Maker game files into .txt files and write them back to .json.
This tool inherits its name from the original rvpacker tool, which was created for those versions of RPG Maker that did not use .json files.
This tool for RPG Maker XP, VX and VX Ace engines that don't use .json files can be found in this repository.
A GUI that allows comfortably edit parsed files (and it also automatically parses unparsed games when you select their folder) (and you also can easily write files back to .json with a single button click) (and it also supports RPG Maker XP, VX and VX Ace!)
You can download binary files in the Releases section.
Files with the .exe extension are designed for Windows x64, while files without an extension are designed for Linux x64.
You can get help on usage by calling json-writer -h.
This tool allows to parse RPG Maker MV/MZ games text to .txt files and write them back to their initial form.

-r, --romanize
If you parsing text from a Japanese game, that contains symbols like 「」, which are just the Japanese quotation
marks, it automatically replaces these symbols by their roman equivalents (in this case, ""). This flag will
automatically be used when writing if you parsed game text with it.
--disable-custom-processing
Disables built-in custom processing, implemented for some games. This flag will automatically be used when
writing if you parsed game text with it.

--log

-h, --help
Prints the program's help message or for the entered subcommand.
Examples:
rvpacker-json-txt read --input-dir "E:/Documents/RPGMakerGame" parses the text of the game into the translation folder of the specified directory.
rvpacker-json-txt write --input-dir E:/Documents/RPGMakerGame" will write the translation from the _trans files of the translation folder to .the json files to the output folder.
The tool does not parse text from a plugins.js file since it is very difficult to isolate the text displayed in the game from the plugins.
