KHPCPatchManager

How to apply a patch:

1. Download the latest release or compile the binary yourself
2. Make sure you have a "resources" folder (in the same directory as the tool) with all the .txt containing the files' names (you can get one along with a release)
3. Drag a pcpatch (.kh1pcpatch, .kh2pcpatch, etc.) file onto the exe and follow the instructions

How to extract game files:

1. Download the latest release or compile the binary yourself
2. Make sure you have a "resources" folder (in the same directory as the tool) with all the .txt containing the files' names (you can get one along with a release)
3. Extract a PKG file by dragging its .hed onto the exe
4. A folder .hed_out will be created containing all extracted files from that PKG

How to extract RAW game files:

RAW files contain the header data for both original and remastered assets, as well as the assets' data itself (encrypted and compressed where applicable)

1. Download the latest release or compile the binary yourself
2. Make sure you have a "resources" folder (in the same directory as the tool) with all the .txt containing the files' names (you can get one along with a release)
3. Open a command line (CMD, PowerShell) in the directory where the exe is located
4. Use the following command: KHPCPatchManager -raw (eg: _KHPCPatchManager kh2sixth.hed -raw
5. A folder .hed_out will be created containing all the extracted RAW files from that PKG

How to create a patch:

1. Download the latest release or compile the binary yourself
2. Make sure you have a "resources" folder (in the same directory as the tool) with all the .txt containing the files' names (you can get one along with a release)
3. Create a folder for your patch, let's call it "MyPatch" for example
4. Place your edited files in that folder, under , and then under "original" or "remastered" (based on where the unedited files were located when you extracted them) following the initial folders and files structure. For instance, if you wanted to edit Sora's high-poly 3D model and textures (which are located in kh2_sixth), your "MyPatch" folder would have to look like this:

   MyPatch
   └── kh2_sixth
   ├── original
   │   └── obj
   │       └── P_EX100.mdlx
   └── remastered
       └── obj
           └── P_EX100.mdlx
               ├── -0.dds
               ├── -1.dds
               ├── -2.dds
               ├── -3.dds
               ├── -4.dds
               └── -5.dds

   Note: You can also patch RAW files if necessary

   MyPatch
   └── kh2_sixth
   ├── original
   ├── remastered
   └── raw
       └── obj
           └── P_EX100.mdlx

5. Drag your "MyPatch" folder onto the exe
6. A "MyPatch" with the game's patch extension will be created

Using custom file names (hashes):

These should be automatically added to "resources/custom_filenames.txt" when patching (filenames exist in the patches, so the tool will simply write the ones that aren't natively listed) As long as the user keeps these new entries in their "custom_filenames.txt" file, KHPCPatchManager will be able to handle these new files (extraction, re-patching, etc.).
