but texture name fixed pew_00_ub_0037.dds.

how i can use custom texture name?
You need to edit uv in the blender. You can change it by applying a texture to the edited uv.

Everything is wrong.
I think you will understand 3DCG software if you learn a little more.

Parece que você copiou todos os .PAZ pra pasta "files_to_patch". Não é assim que usa a ferramenta.
Tipo, você consegue obter todos os xsml tables usando o File Extractor, filtrando por "xsml" e depois que você modificar os arquivos, bota somente esses .xsml na pasta "files_to_patch" e usa a opção "Keep Files and folders structures from the files_to_patch folder" quando for injetar (Não esquece de manter a estrutura de pastas correta dentro da pasta "files_to_patch".)

Translation:
It looks like you've copied add the the .PAZ files to the "files_to_patch" folder. This is not how you are supposed to use this tool.
You can get all the xsml tables using File Extractor, filtering by "xsml" and then after you modify the files, put only those .xsml files in the "files_to_patch" folder and use the option "Keep Files and folders structures from the files_to_patch folder" when you are injecting. (Don't forget to keep the correct folder structure inside the "files_to_patch" folder)

Obrigado! Entendi o principio da coisa, eu estava misturando as funções, o meta é para injetar dentro do jogo e extractor pra extrair. Entretanto, procurei pelos formatos xlsm (que é o formato extraido das outras versões) e tive o seguinte retorno:
(Thank you! Now i understood what i was doing wrong. However, when ai search for xlsm it gives me the following:)
riwvD1u.png

Tentei então o formato que você falou xsml e tive o seguinte retorno:
(So i tried xslm extension and it gave me:)
4QqmTf4.png

Dai fui olhar na raiz do arquivo e tinha a seguinte pasta stringtable com os arquivos:
(Then i looked up on folder's root and there was a folder name stringtable with the following:)
MJ0DjdU.png


Mas somente o languagedata_original.xlsm abria e todos os outros acusavam erro:
(But only language_data.xlsm was opening and all others were giving me file formart error:)

Então, aloprei e mandei extrair tudo e o programa me retornou:
(Then i tried to unpack everything:)

Confesso, to perdido e preciso de uma luz!

Some people managed to read those "corrupted" .xlsm files by using the "Open with Repair" option in Excel. Give that a try.
To fix the "Extract all files" error, try using this older version of the blackdesert.bms file that we used to use back when the NA/KR .meta file had a section that we couldn't read and we had to skip it. Maybe for the SA version they are still using the same thing. If they are, this will work:
quickbms_script-black_desert.zip
Just extract it to your "Paz" folder

Hello. I want to make an english patch (text to english) for Black Desert SA, I read the explanation made to Tangerina123,but I am wondering If I just can extrac all the .xlsm files from the NA version and then just put them on the "files_to_patch" = inside the PAZ folder of SA?.

Thanks in advance

Meta Injector updated: v2.0
meta2.jpg
changelog:
  • Added the "Meta File Status" feature which tells you how many files are currently patched in your meta file.
  • Added the menu option "4 - List patched files" which shows the name of all the files that are currently patched in your meta file.
    This is an enhanced version from my Resorepless. It not only displays the results way faster but also shows the folder name, and the results are sorted by folder name, and then by file name for a better view when visually searching if a file is patched or not.
  • Fixed the option "Keep files and folders structures from the files_to_patch folder": It wasn't keeping the structure correctly.
  • Changed the way the files are copied. It's now faster for larger files.
  • Fixed tool not exiting when the option "0 - Exit" was selected.
  • Fixed tool letting "access denied" files being considerate as "successfully copied"
  • Changes the text from some error messages.
  • Changed the formatting on some error messages.

I was trying to do this this whole afternoon, and I didn't obtain any success. It seems that it is useless to use Meta Injector to make the game look for modified stringtables.
I extracted the string tables from NA (stringtable\en) and I renamed them one by one to make sure it matched the names from the pt version (stringtable\pt). After that I injected them using Meta Injector, and they are simply ignored and the game uses the original stringtables.
I don't know how to make this work. If anyone finds a solution, please post it.

How do you want to copy the files from the "files_to_patch" folder to their original locations?

Keep files and folders structures from the "files_to_patch" folder.
-> Let the program decide where they should go. (Recommended)

Notice: This option will not work if 2 or more files have the same name (like stringtables).
Use the other option if that's your case.

Thanks for the feedback. It was indeed not working. I fixed it now:

v2.0c
- Fixed files successfully being copied but not being counted.
- "Searching for files in the meta file" now only shows output when something goes wrong.
- Program pauses if at least one file was "Not found" in the meta file
- The amount of files to be copied can now be different from the total files in the "file_to_patch", if some of the files were "Not found" in the meta file.
- The program now shows which files failed to copy if at least one of them failed.
- The final list of files that failed to patch has now only 1 file per line, instead of 4 (v1.9)
- The program now doesn't halt before patching the meta file, it just does.

My bad. I was relying on the fact that the user would use the Windows in English, that's why this problem was happening to you.
I changed the verification method to simply check if the file exists after the copy and if the sizes are the same. It should work now.
Let me know if you still encounter any issue.

v2.0d
- Fixed files not being recognized as successfully copied if your windows is not in English.
- Fixed "ESC" not skipping files when asking if you want to replace them
- Now if all files fail to copy or to be found in the meta file, when the tool tries to patch the meta file, it just says "No files to patch"
- Fixed label "Not copied" showing even if all file have been successfully copied.

A few updates back game stopped using "stringtable/??/languagedata.xlsm" files for translated texts, now all texts are in "stringtable/??/languagedata_??.txt". I have tested that they can be replaced using your meta injector.

How to get translation files from NA/EU version:
Code:
quickbms.exe -f "*languagedata_en.txt" blackdesert.bms PAD05388.PAZ
quickbms.exe -f "*languagedata_de.txt" blackdesert.bms PAD03774.PAZ
quickbms.exe -f "*languagedata_fr.txt" blackdesert.bms PAD05389.PAZ

I have suggestion for Meta injector - many times I just don't know that there is a game update, so I'm getting "corrupted files" message. Can you add option to remove filecheck?
It's easy. Delete file "config.filecheck" and restore file "version.dat" (4 bytes text file which contains client version followed by 0x0A, client version are 1st 4 bytes in meta file).

It's easy. Delete file "config.filecheck" and restore file "version.dat" (4 bytes text file which contains client version followed by 0x0A, client version are 1st 4 bytes in meta file).
Done:
Meta Injector v2.0e
- Added an option to prevent launcher file re-check
- When you restore a backup, it automatically prevents the file re-check next time you open the launcher.
- Now if you get the "corrupted files detected" message when there is an update. All you have to do is "Restore a backup" and once you open the launcher again, it won't re-check all your game files this time.

A few updates back game stopped using "stringtable/??/languagedata.xlsm" files for translated texts, now all texts are in "stringtable/??/languagedata_??.txt". I have tested that they can be replaced using your meta injector.

How to get translation files from NA/EU version:
Code:
quickbms.exe -f "*languagedata_en.txt" blackdesert.bms PAD05388.PAZ
quickbms.exe -f "*languagedata_de.txt" blackdesert.bms PAD03774.PAZ
quickbms.exe -f "*languagedata_fr.txt" blackdesert.bms PAD05389.PAZ


Hi. How did you find that PAD05388.PAZ is the file which contains "stingtable", can you please explain how to do it?

I can now extract the stringtable from NA or SA client by using extract by extension but I don't know from what .paz file # was obtain


Or anyone else can help with this?

Thanks

How to list content of .paz file:
Code:
quickbms.exe -l blackdesert.bms pad05388.paz
If you don't have QuickBMS or .bms script, both can be found on QuickBMS home page, google it.

But actually I did it a bit different way, I have used modified .bms script and dumped list of all game files to text file. If you are interested what did I use:
Code:
quickbms.exe -l blackdesert-commented.bms pad00000.meta > filelist.txt

Script "blackdesert-commented.bms" is modified from "simple_extraction.bms" script which you can find inside of BlackFireBR's PAZ Files Browser package:
Code:
# Black Desert (script 0.2.3) by BlackFire ***modified***
#  This is a modified version of the original script found at
#  http://aluigi.altervista.org/bms/blackdesert.bms
# For a visual guide on how the .meta and .PAZ file is sctructured, see this thread:
# https://www.undertow.club/posts/129716
# If you are using Notepad++, change the Language to "Visual Basic" to get a nice color code
