Workflows for extracting files/data

This documentation mainly applies to TotK

Tiles

Starting from romfs/UI/Map/MainField, this is the process for generating the map tiles:

  1. Filter-Tiles.ps1
  2. Bulk export in SwitchToolbox
  3. Split out the three layers into different directories
  4. Rename-Tiles.ps1
  5. Merge-Tiles.ps1
  6. Split-Tiles.ps1

Pins

  • Pins are located in a compressed archive. First, get the zs dictionary from /Pack/ZsDic.pack.zs (open in SwitchToolbox, extract all three items).
  • SwitchToolbox doesn't handle TotK zs compression. Get the zs tool from https://github.com/facebook/zstd/releases
  • Pins are found here: UI/LayoutArchive/Common.Product.100.Nin_NX_NVN.blarc.zs
  • zstd.exe -d Common.Product.100.Nin_NX_NVN.blarc.zs -o Common.Product.100.Nin_NX_NVN.blarc -D zs.zsdic
  • Open the .blarc in STB
  • Texture files are under timg/__Combined.bntx (double-click to open). Extract the ones starting with MapIcon.
  • Layout files are under blyt. Use the ones starting with PaMapIcon to find the right colors, transforms, etc. for the icons.
  • I don't see a way to just extract the whole icon as an image, so for now I'm doing:
    • Open the individual textures in GIMP
    • For each layer under RootPane, go to Colors in the bottom-left window and set those as FG and BG colors in GIMP
    • GIMP: Select "FG to BG (RGB)" gradient, then Color -> Map -> Gradient Map
    • GIMP: Scale any layers that need to be scaled, referring to the Pane window in the bottomleft of STB
