TEXT assets contain text that is used ingame in message boxes and other places.
Format
| 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
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)
The tags and variables placed in [brackets] are optional. Vectors are represented by comma-separated values.
