Automatic thdat

[CrimsonSigma]

I made an automatic version of thdat (.dat compressor/decompressor). This makes the process way easier.
Works only with english patched games. I'll make a version for the japanese .dat's later.
Let's call it... thdat-sigma for now.

Archive contains 2 exe. THDAT-SIGMA E v3 is for the English versions, THDAT-SIGMA J v3 for Japanese versions.

Usage:
- Put a touhou .dat file and THDAT-SIGMA E or J v3.exe on the same folder and execute. (If the game is Imperishable Night, it works with th08.dat, since the patch for this game works differently)
- Press X to extract.
- After the extraction is done, do all the alterations you want.
- Run THDAT-SIGMA E/J v3.exe again and press C to re-compress the dat.


Maav reported that after he tried to make an Invisible Bullet EoSD, the game bugged in some parts. I don't know what is the cause.
If you find any bugs, report them to me ASAP.

We will try to make tools like this for thmsg and thanm as well.

Anyway, this is really useful. Apparently, my game bugs were completely random (happened with the original .dat too, and stopped after a system reboot).

But you did help. '-'
Well... initially. Now I'm working on it alone.

The next revision will save the TH6 files with the correct name and support the original japanese .dat's.
Done, now it's finished.

Next I'll try to make other tools.
