I don't understand based on your information you provided. Can this edit in-game stbls? Or is it just simply a translation tool?

It could be used to edit EA STBLs, although I don't recommend modifying the game packages.

One of the things I'm thinking of for a future version is the ability to search for and extract strings for overrides. At present the main purpose of the tool is to manage translations in mod packages.

Does that answer your question?

I found that in Edit Translation windows, when we click Copy to Blank then Commit, it doing nothing.

EDIT: I solve it by deleting existing untranslated strings in S3PE first, then I use this program to re-add strings and copy to empty translations. Done

Thank you so much for this, really save me a lot of time.

I want to add HUN translations to my package files. I already did and saved the rewrited txt, but I don't get it what's the "KEY TEXT TO HASH'' for? Where can I get that address? ..or localization thing ??? I really need help?

Can I add my lingo to the packs and see them in the game? How help! PLS!? I did see that linked heling guide or tutorial but I lost at that point... Localization? but where..?

The key text is in the code of a script mod, or in the code of the game itself. It's text used to refer to the text actually displayed in the game. You have to know what it is or be able to find it in the code or by using a deassembler to get the code.

What exactly do you want to do with this? If you're using it with script mods you've written you should have the key texts. If you want to use it with script mods from other creators, they have to have been written to use localization (the ability to use more than one language) and you'd need to get the Kay text like I said.

Localization is too complicated to explain here. You should really try going through the tutorial again.

Please do not PM me with mod, tutorial, or general modding questions or problems; post them in the thread for the mod or tutorial or post them in the appropriate forum.

That might be helpful if we didn't have to pay for the translations.

Heya! I've been using this tool for quite a bit, but did notice a small bug that actually blocks me from saving my package :/

So, whenever I delete an entry string, I noticed that it will return the following error whenever I try to save:

Code:

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index

   at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowArgumentOutOfRangeException()
   at System.Collections.Generic.List`1.get_Item(Int32 index)
   at Xmods.DataLib.STBL.WriteSTBL(BinaryWriter bw)
   at EasySTBLmanager.MainForm.UpdatePackageResources()
   at EasySTBLmanager.MainForm.PackageSave_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
   at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.RaiseEvent(Object key, EventArgs e)
   at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem.OnClick(EventArgs e)
   at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.HandleClick(EventArgs e)
   at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.HandleMouseUp(MouseEventArgs e)
   at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip.OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs mea)
   at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripDropDown.OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs mea)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseUp(Message& m, MouseButtons button, Int32 clicks)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m)
   at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip.WndProc(Message& m)
   at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripDropDown.WndProc(Message& m)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)
   at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

Just a small walk-through of how I'm deleting an existing stbl entry:

1. Click on the Strings List tab
2. Then, (In my case this was the bottom entry) click edit
3. Click Delete string
4. Trying to save the package now throws this error :/

The package is also not open in S3PE or used by any other programs. Let me know if you need some more info!

This tool is so old it took me some time just to find my code! I must have been tinkering with it years ago or something because my copy doesn't seem to delete at all - maybe I was trying to fix this problem; I don't remember what if anything I was doing with it. Anyway, it'll take me a little while to figure out what's going on and test a new version.

No problem! Thanks for coming back to it! I was even surprised you noticed the bug report! :p being a programmer myself, I know tinkering with things from years ago is incredibly confusing. But figured I'd just let you know! Currently, I'm deleting them with just S3PE, which is fine with me

Thanks for the programmer empathy, lol! Yeah, this was a blast from the past.

Anyway, I think it's fixed plus some minor cosmetic improvements. If you could test this out a bit in case I missed something and let me know that would be great. :D
