FDB Extractor and ROM .db LanguageFile Converter/Viewer
Posted: Wed Jun 15, 2011 5:50 am
I've created my own version of the language converter with many benefits. http://www.solarstrike.net/phpBB3/viewt ... 097#p57097. I recommend using this along with McBens version of the FBD Extractor which it supports.

The following 2 tools are used to work with the "fdb" files in the "Runes of Magic/fdb" folder. The reason I'm putting these here is because they can be difficult if not impossible to find elsewhere.
FDB Extractor 1.1 by Seipheroth
(Thanks to MiesterMan for sharing this version.)
With this program you can extract the individual files in an fdb, possibly with the intention of replacing the files the game uses, similar to what we do with the AutoLogin addon.Note: A few anti virus programs report this as infected.
FDB Extractor 0.0.8.0 by Seipheroth
This is an older version I found on my computer that does not get reported as having a virus.Doesn't seem to work very well when extracting multiple files.
ROM .db LanguageFile Converter/Viewer
Within the data.fdb file, found in the "Runes of Magic/fdb" folder, are the .db language files prefixed by "string_". If you extract one of these with FDB Extractor then you can use this program to convert and view the language strings.
To use it, start the language converter and click on "Convert .db" then browse to the extracted .db file. Once it's been converted it will automatically create an .xml file in the same folder. From now on you can open the xml file, using "LoadXML", instead of converting it again. Then you can search for strings. If anyone has newer versions of these files, please let me know.
