AssetStudio VS lutris

Asset Studio for browsing and previewing files, Avalonia for replacing/editing bundles. Of course, I've never actually modded RF5; all I've managed to get working so far for RF3s is portrait and model texture editing, and face textures are so tightly cropped that replacing them might be a pain. As for dialogue, the extracted .txt comes out garbled, and I tried it with Grimoire just for fun but that doesn't seem to do anything.

the sprites won't appear as actual images unless you are using something to load the sprites like AssetStudio or a similar program. unfortunately i can't remember the name of the program that allows you to take a screenshot and rip assets from there, or something similar. but AssetStudio will do the trick and you have to load the folder called "hollow_knight_Data" from - C:\(yournamehere)\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data - some of the information here will vary based on what you've named your drives but the main folder is in steamapps\common\HollowKnight\hollow_knight_Data

I've tried exploring a few things with this but the only sound file I was able to find was the one that plays on the startup screen. I think I might have another lead with the files that steam displays but I'm doing my best and if worse comes to worst I will just try to get recordings of everything :]

Yes, you can use a tool like asset studio to find and extract the wrap textures

Hi, I'm the person who made priconne-image-extractor. If you're looking to decrypt .unity3d files from the EN server, you can use that to get all the .unity3d files from EN's CDN, and then use AssetStudio (https://github.com/Perfare/AssetStudio) to load the folder with all the .unity3d files. This won't work anymore for JP's server since they updated Unity a while ago, but in theory this should work for EN still.

You can dig the audio files yourself from the game data with Asset Studio. I can get it for you, but it'll have to wait until I get home. I advice you try to dig yourself. Might find many cool things in there.

You can get Lutris: It's an open source launcher that you login into with GOG account and it will download the games and wrap them with Wine, similar to Steam.

For "normal" games you could look yourself using ProtonDB regarding every game released on Steam and AreWeAntiCheatYet for most multiplayer games. If a game isn't available on Steam you have three possibilities. First if it's available on GOG, Epic Games or Amazon Gaming, you could use the Heroic Games Launcher. Second you could try to run the launchers through Steam itself using once again Proton. Third you could try installing it with a script or tutorial in Lutris or Bottles.

Can I suggest you head over to the lutris.net site and follow the link the lutris discord - with what you are describing, it would take me 20 minutes to get the base battle.net working so you can see what is causing your issue or 3 days back and forwards here. As a hint, your wine version has known issues, and unless you manually installed the lutris 0.5.14 from the git page in Mint, or are running flatpak, you have other issues related to that

Hmmm I remember there was some confusion in Lutris around this, like https://github.com/lutris/lutris/issues/4237 , and I had to do some workaround. But I can't check what exactly right now...

As a data point, you can run a fair number of Windows games under Proton by using Lutris instead of Steam:

* https://lutris.net

* https://github.com/lutris/lutris

It's an OSS game launcher that takes the place of Steam, and you can set things up to run locally so you don't even need an account on their system (lutris.net).
