Danganronpa: Another Tool (aka DRAT)

Romhacking tool to mod and translate Danganronpa games (except V3).

If you're planning on translating the games, please consider there are projects already in process of working on them, which you can also join.

1 — Game titles compatible with the DRAT

By using this program, you will be able to extract and repack almost every file from:

• Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc (PSP DEMO - PSP - PSVITA - PC - PS4)
• Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair (PSVITA - PC - PS4)
• Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls (PSVITA - PC - PS4)

I made DRAT with fantranslations and simple mods in mind, therefore if that's what are you aiming for, you should be fine with it. However if you want to go further and make more articulate mods and do things that you can't do with DRAT (like mod V3), use https://github.com/UnderMybrella/Spiral or https://github.com/jpmac26/DRV3-Tools

2 — Requirements

• .NET Framework 4.7.2: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4054529/microsoft-net-framework-4-7-2-language-pack-offline-installer-for-wind
• The folder Ext has to be next to the tool so that it can work properly.

If you need to convert textures from PNG to BTX:

Python 2.7 (x32): http://www.python.org/download/

PyQt4 (x32): http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/download

3 — Usage

The program should be intuitive to use, however PAK files maybe aren't so easy to understand, therefore I'll try to give you a quickly explanation about them.

EXTRACT PAK and REPACK PAK

There are different PAK files, some store textures, while others store texts. They are a generic archive container, that's why you need to choose correctly the right type of PAK you are going to work on.

• EXTRACT/REPACK PAK TYPE 1: It works for files like 00_System.pak, 26_Menu.pak, mtb_s03.pak, 49_Novel.pak, mtb2_s06.pak, etc.

These type of files PAK store only text.

• EXTRACT/REPACK PAK TYPE 2: It works for files like script_pak_e02.pak, script_pak_novel.pak, script_pak_e07.pak, novel_ch01.pak, file_book.pak, etc.

These type of files PAK store LIN files.

• EXTRACT/REPACK PAK TYPE 3: It works for files like bin_special_font_l.pak, bin_pb_font_l.pak, bin_sv_font_l.pak, etc.

These type of files PAK recursively store other PAK files.

• EXTRACT/REPACK TEXTURE PAK W/O CONVERT: It works for all the PAK files that use to store textures. Textures will be extracted and repacked as they are.

• EXTRACT/REPACK TEXTURE PAK TO PNG: It works for all the PAK files that used to store textures. Textures will be extracted as png and will automatically encoded them back into the right format while repacked back.

N.B.

• Use some good PO editor like Poedit to edit the PO files. https://poedit.net/
• The only tool which you can use to edit the fonts for DR1 and DR2 is the SDSE1: https://bitbucket.org/blackdragonhunt/the-super-duper-script-editor
• At the moment the DRAT can't be used to edit anagrams from DR1.
• For specific "reasons" you need to find psp2gxt.exe by your own and put it inside the Ext folder.
