Tools for *packing, *crypting and editing various Monster Hunter Frontier Online files.
Repo made public as of 07/17/2019 on occasion of the game in question being shutdown in December 2019. Tool was intended for personal use only, so it might be a bit messy to foreign eyes. You're likely looking for ReFrontier itself and can safely ignore the other tools.
Huge thank you to enler for their help!
ReFrontier options:
Unpacking Options:
-log: Write log file (required for repacking)
-cleanUp: Delete simple archives after unpacking
-stageContainer: Unpack file as stage-specific container (for certain stXXX.pac files and maybe others)
-autoStage: Automatically attempt to unpack containers that might be stage-specific (this is very experimental, since there is no reliable way to detect a stage-specific container)
-nonRecursive: Do not unpack recursively (useful for modifying specific files in archives, also check -noDecryption/-ignoreJPK)
-decryptOnly: Decrypt ecd files without unpacking
-noDecryption: Don't decrypt ecd files, no unpacking
-ignoreJPK: Do not decompress JPK files
Packing Options:
-pack: Repack directory (requires log file - double check file extensions therein and make sure you account for encryption, compression)
-compress [type],[level]: Pack file with jpk [type] at compression [level] (example: -compress 3,10)
-encrypt: Encrypt input file with ecd algorithm
General Options:
-close: Close window after finishing process
