This is a tool that I made that edits BCSV files. If you don't know what BCSV files are, they are a file format that is used frequently in the Super Mario Galaxy games. BCSV files hold level data, object information, world map layouts, collision data, the songs that are played for each level, a list of objects that can be used in levels, and more.
BCSV Editor: https://www.dropbox.com/s/thc3rep4kvj1q32/BCSVE-v0.7.zip?dl=1 Source Code: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/bvhbohxx3bxvu5u/BCSVECode.zip?dl=1 The current version has the ability to edit any type of BCSV field data (longs, floats, shorts, bytes, and strings). Most BCSV files in SMG1 and SMG2 should work. Tell me if you find any BCSV files that the editor won't open or edit correctly. In order to tell if a file is a valid BCSV file, check its extension. Files with the extension .bcsv, .tbl, .banmt, .bcam, and .pa should work. If a file has no extension, try opening it in the BCSV editor and editing it. If you can successfully open the file, edit it, then reopen it, you can assume that file is a valid BCSV file. If you find any files with extensions I haven't listed that seem to be valid BCSV files, send me a copy of that file. You need Windows to run this, although it may run on Mac or Linux with Wine. lookup.txt needs to be in the same directory as the application. |

Since it's C#, I guess it'll run fine on Linux and OSX.
It seems to be a nice tool for editing field properties, however it wouldn't be quite practical to use for editing lots of fields directly. Also, it seems to mess up Japanese strings. Strings in BCSV files are encoded in Shift-JIS, so you know  ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |

It doesn't actually edit field properties yet. That's a planned feature, as soon as everything else in the editor is working. Also, I know they're encoded in Shift-JIS, but I've never been able to get it working. |

Looking at your code, it looks like you used the FileBase class and set Encoding to "shift-jis". Is there anyway to convert an ASCII encoded string to a Shift JIS string, without making major changes to my code? |

Do you mind if I upload the source onto GitHub? |

Posted by Marionumber1 What you have to do in C# is specify the encoding you want to use when you create your BinaryReader/Writer or similar. Java works differently in that regard. For example I'm able to specify the encoding when reading/writing the strings. ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |

Posted by Shane2100AD It's probably a bad idea. GitHub is not a place just to "upload" source code, it's a place to host git repositories. It's the project owner that should own the repository... ____________________ Cool Stuff: Dirbaio.net (my boring site) - The NSMB Hacking Domain - Kuribo64 - ABXD DevBoard |

Posted by Mega-Mario What I do to read a string is read each character from FileStream, and concatenate it to the current string. When I concatenated the character to the string, I used string.Concat. I changed the encoding to System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("shift-jis"), but instead of displaying Japanese, it displays ・ﾓ・ｽ・ｲ・・・ﾌ・i・] (which is ff fe fb 30 93 ff fb 30 7d ff fb 30 72 ff fb 30 fb 30 fb 30 8c ff fb 30 69 00 fb 30 5d 00 in hex). |

That's because this is just not how you read a NULL-terminated string from a file.
You create a BinaryReader with the Shift-JIS encoding, and then use the ReadString() method, which handles everything for you. Alternately, if you don't want to use a BinaryReader, you need to create an array of bytes, and read each byte until you meet a NULL byte. You then feed the byte array to the appropriate text encoding converter to get a String. ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |

I know this thread is kind of old, but the AnarchGalaxy2 library had a pretty effective BCSV editor. I'm can't remember if I publicly released it or not, but I think it should come in handy.
Also, just in case you're interested, MN1, The method I used to read Unicode strings was Encoding.GetEncoding("Shift-JIS").GetString which allowed you to read a string from either a byte buffer or a raw data pointer. |

AFAIK Anarchy2 was never found if it was released. I never had it, at least. ____________________ "I hate playing musical chats" ~ Quote of the month |

Thanks for the source code, PhantomWings. I'm going to try to update my BCSV Editor this weekend. |

I've tried reading every byte into a Byte array and using Encoding.GetEncoding("Shift-JIS").GetString to convert it to Shift JIS, but Japanese text is still only displayed in ASCII characters. |

I didn't use the BinaryReader method, because I don't like the idea of drastically changing my code. |

You should still have a look into it. It has always worked fine for me.
I also wish Java supported an equivalent. It only supports reading Unicode strings. The code I made to get around this is incredibly hackish and also picky. Blarg blarg. And I'm sure it'll be terribly unefficient when dealing with the message files. ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |

The good news is that the strings in the message files are Unicode. Back on this topic, do you know why the method I tried wouldn't work? |

I forgot that I had added an extension method to the Encoding class to simplify things.
Anyways, the extension method uses the string constructor using the Encoding as one of the parameters. You need to know the number of characters before hand and you need to use an sbyte pointer, but it should properly convert the characters. |

fixed (SByte* strData = bytes.ToArray())
{ str = new String(strData, 0, bytes.ToArray().Length, System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("Shift-JIS")); } Now I get an error saying "Pointers and fixed size buffers may only be used in an unsafe context". |
