Esf Total Editor

[taw]

If anyone would like to write a user-friendly tutorial, that would be great. Steps are:

Get Ruby - https://rubyinstaller.org/
Download esf2xml code from github https://github.com/taw/etwng/archive...ads/master.zip and unpack
Open esfxml folder, drop your esf files you want to convert there
Start terminal in that folder
Run from terminal: gem install nokogiri (just once, this install xml conversion library)
Run this to convert: ruby esf2xml file.esf unpacked_folder
Edit as much as you want
Run this to convert back: ruby xml2esf unpacked_folder new_file.esf

The tools like Esf Total Editor packaged this process into user friendly interface, but someone needs to update them.

Start terminal in that folder

Hold Shift + Right click the folder you want it opened on, and click "Open command window here".

Run from terminal: gem install nokogiri (just once, this install xml conversion library)

I ran instal_nokogiri.bat. Seems did the trick.

Run this to convert: ruby esf2xml file.esf unpacked_folder

I had JRuby installed, so i just replaced ruby with jruby, and it worked.


Thanks for the instructions!

Hello TAW, ive been trying to use this tool and tried to follow your instructions, i got stucked at running

ruby esf2xml file.esf unpacked_folder

and get this error

esf2xml:35:in `initialize': No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - file.esf (Errno::ENOENT)
        from esf2xml:35:in `open'
        from esf2xml:35:in `<main>'

FYI im like a caveman using the command console (which isnt even called now like that lol) so maybe im doing something wrong? The installation says it worked just fine so idk what might be going on
