TEXT assets contain text that is used ingame in message boxes and other places.
Format[edit]
| Offset | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | int | Character count |
| 0x04 | char[charCount] | Text (zero-terminated; the terminator is not included in charCount) |
| charCount + 0x04 | byte[] | Padding (0x00 until the data is aligned to 0x04) |
Text Formatting[edit]
The text can be formatted by introducing tags. The tags are usually in the format:
{<variable><value>}
{<variable>:<value>}
{<variable>=<value>}
{<variable>}
They usually either affect the text coming immediately after it, or insert something in the text (such as an image or variable).
Tag List (incomplete)[edit]
The tags and variables placed in [brackets] are optional. Vectors are represented by comma-separated values.
