P5 Table Editor

[SeppNel]

Hi, Some time ago I was looking for a tool to edit table files (.ftd) but could not find any, so I made one myself!

This is a tool that lets you edit any ftd file, at least from p5 I don't know if any other games uses it. Please tell me any problem or suggestion that you have and expect lots of bugs, in fact this is my first coding project. I tested it with various files and it seemed to work perfectly but sometimes I feel like I don't know what I'm doing so please keep a backup of your files.


1.3:
-Add support for ftd version 1 files (because apparently that it's a thing.) If you tried it before and got garbage output try now.

Releases and source code: https://github.com/SeppNel/P5-Table-Editor
Feel free to tell my what im doing wrong.

This kind of thing is greatly appreciated, it looks like some people are already digging into these files to see what they can do by changing them thanks to your contribution.

I (hopefully) have fixed a bug where the first edited index would not be updated correctly. Pls redownload.

Update 1.3 released. Apparently multiple types of ftd files are used in P5. Now it should work with "version 0" and "version 1" files.
If you encounter any ftd file that does not work with this pls let me know.

There's at least 1 more type of ftd files but they are very strange. They report themselfs as "version 0", have only 1 entry on the table (wich is obviously wrong) and dont seem to follow any consistent structure. One example of this files is: ps3 -> field -> panel -> fldPanelMsg.pac -> fldWholeMapTable.ftd. Need to investigate further on this.

Deompile the game bf and bmd files to start. In the wiki you have some tools to do it. That's probably the easiest place to start
