Extract and repack QPK/QPI pairs from otome game Genso Manège - Visihen - 03-03-2025
Hi, I'd like to ask for some help because I want to extract and repack the files from the game Genso Manège to translate both the texts/dialogues and the UI images (and others) into my native language (Spanish).
The files are in QPK/QPI format (they come in pairs, where the QPI file seems to contain metadata about the QPK, and the QPK holds the actual internal files). I searched on Google and found a script that allows extracting these files (https://github.com/IcySon55/Kuriimu/issues/518#issuecomment-443008887, thanks to IcySon55), but it has several limitations:
- It extracts files with the .qfi extension, which makes it impossible to determine which scene they belong to when dealing with scripts/dialogues. These should ideally have a .ks extension, since if you open the .qfi files in Notepad++, they display correctly and even indicate their expected extension.
- The extracted file pair needs to be renamed to DATA0.QPK and DATA0.QPI before extraction, which is tedious because you have to keep renaming them constantly.
I also noticed something that might be important when creating a tool to repack the modified files. If you open KS.QPK directly with 010 Editor (or any hex editor) and change a letter in the text, the modification appears correctly in the game. However, if you add or remove letters or paragraphs, the game freezes. I assume this happens because the game verifies file sizes, line lengths, or maybe even checks offsets and sizes somewhere in the code.
Additional info:
- KS.QPK / KS.QPI → Contain character dialogues and on-screen text (thoughts, descriptions, etc.).
- CSV.QPK / CSV.QPI → Seem to contain CSV-like files (though the script assigns them a .qfi
extension). These files store character IDs, chapters, scenes, etc.
- IMAGE.QPK / IMAGE.QPI → Contain character sprites and possibly backgrounds. These files can be opened with UABE, AssetStudio, or similar tools since they have a UnityFS header when viewed in a hex editor after extraction.
- SCENE.QPK / SCENE.QPI → Contain UI images and (I think) backgrounds. These also have a UnityFS header when extracted using the LinqPad5 script.
I have attached a Drive link that contains the game files, the game's DLL files (which I extracted using IL2CPPDumper in case they are useful), and also a screenshot showing what seem to be two CSV files inside CSV.QPK/CSV.QPI.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HwlOUyjeJ9Tt8wJctoi-yL4NBb79NOiI?usp=sharing

Try this script:
https://github.com/bartlomiejduda/Tools/blob/master/NEW%20Tools/Genso%20Manege/Genso_Manege_QPI_QPK_script.bms
You can also import using reimport mode. Read more about it here https://aluigi.altervista.org/papers/quickbms.txt
There are no real filenames in the archive. Script tries to guess file extension by signature.
Try to open unityfs files in UABEA and ks/txt files in Notepad++.

Thank you so much ikskoks! It works perfectly and luckily the tildes and special characters from my language display correctly.
Do you have a Ko-fi or something similar? I'd like to donate a small amount to thank you for your work.
