BattleCatsHacker

A tool for manipulating data of BattleCats (kr : 냥코대전쟁). Idea is based on beeven's work. Big thanks!

Warning!

This tool targets korean version. For other version, the followings should be modified before you proceed :

• package name (kr : jp.co.ponos.battlecatskr)
• hash salt in SaveDataModifier.py (kr : battlecatskr, en : battlecats)

Requirements

• Android Debug Bridge (adb)
• Android Backup Extractor (abe.jar)

I just dumped binaries into this repo.

How-to

# let's work inside workspace directory
cd workspace
# dump battlecats' data as backup.ab
../adb backup jp.co.ponos.battlecatskr
# backup this to somewhere safe
cp backup.ab ../archive/`date '+%Y%m%d%H%M%S'`.ab
# convert ab to tar, extract it, and make list of files inside it
java -jar ../abe.jar unpack backup.ab backup.tar
tar -xf backup.tar
tar -tf backup.tar > backup.list

# ...
# get apps/jp.co.ponos.battlecatskr/sp/save.xml
# modify it using probe.py and modify.py
# ...

# reverse process
star -c -f backup.tar -no-dirslash list=backup.list
java -jar ../abe.jar pack backup.tar backup.ab
../adb restore backup.ab
