Hi,
This is my very first post on this gentle looking and nice forum.
I got SteamWorld DIg 1 on Origin for free and after a gap of 2 years for the first time I enjoyed playing a video game again, and while I was on the last stages of SteamWorld Dig 1, SteamWorld Dig 2 released.
So I obtained SteamWorld Dig 2 after it released, but I find few irritating elements in the 2nd game, so I want to change them. I find the first boss to be a product of mischief by shameless game developers, first boss was called "Light of Destroyer" before release, after release it's name has been changed to "The Guiding Light" or something similar.
I didn't like this, and I examined the installed game files to see if I can change the name of the boss and it's dialogues. From my superficial examination of the game files I came to the conclusion that character names and dialogues are in files called "en.csv.z" and "en_conversations.csv.z" files for English language, similar files exist for other languages as well. Thinking they were some CSV compressed files I've tried to uncompress them with WinRar and 7-zip but to no luck, I'm running into error, I've encountered same problem on Linux as well. These files are very small by contemporary file size standards, so I've opened them in Notepad, and one of them appeared gibberish and another seemed to contain Chinese looking characters, so I copied some of it to translate.google.com and tried translating it to English, and some meaningful translations came up, which could come up in the game, at the same time other parts became even more gibberish. The other file also provided similar results, it seems like the game developers have used plethora of languages to encode English dialogues and names of the game. And I'm stuck at this stage.
Can anyone here help me take this forward or provide a more elegant solution?
Thanks
