Introduction


Ally murdered Dapper Bones and Skeleton T. Ok, maybe she didn't actually do this. But you can make the game say she did! To get started, you will need a couple of things:

  • Puyo Text Editor[github.com]
  • A text editor (Notepad++, Visual Studio Code, etc...)
Using Puyo Text Editor
If you haven't yet done so, download Puyo Text Editor using the link above. Then extract the entire contents of the archive to a folder of your choice.

Text files in this game are stored as MTX files, which are located in gameAsset/steam/gameAsset/tenp/text/ in the game's folder.

The easiest way to use this tool is to drag MTX files (which creates XML files you can edit) or XML files (which creates MTX files you can use in-game) onto PuyoTextEditor, as such:



As you can see below, dragging the MTX file onto the app created a XML file we can edit:



To convert the XML file back to an MTX file, simply repeat this process using the XML file.

Note: Always make a backup of the MTX file you are editing.

Note 2: You may need to quit & relaunch the game for your changes to show.
Editing the XML file
Take the XML file created by PuyoTextEditor and open it up in your text editor. You will see something like this (this image uses the MTX file for character descriptions, which is located at gameAsset/steam/gameAsset/tenp/text/charatext/charatextEnglish.mtx in the game's folder):



Once you're done making changes, convert this file back to an MTX and then test it out!

Note: Ampersands (&) and the less-than sign (<) must be escaped by using the escape characters &amp; and &lt; respectively.
Example
Using the XML file from before, let's change the first line to something simple:



After we convert this file back to an MTX, this is what it'll look like in-game, which in this case is Arle's character description:



That's all there is to it.
Conclusion
Text editing isn't solely limited to character descriptions:



Why are you still reading this, start editing already!

@wreaver Use narchive to handle the narc files the audio files are stored in. Audio formats may be xwma and wav.

Do you know if there is a way to edit the audio files yet?
