Error on file auto_yus_us.bin

[wandersonareis]

I have a problem with this file, auto_yus_us.bin. Using unpack and repack without editing, the game crashes.
I could not figure out the problem because all the other files are edited perfectly.

Any news about fixing this error?
Only this file is in trouble. The other files work fine.

This auto_yus_us.bin crashes just using the Pulse tool. Without changing anything, just unpack and repack.
But Albeoris still no reply. Very sad for us. This is the only tool I know of for the FF13LR.

I think it has to do with ZTR, the text is uncompressed when I pack it, in the original it is compressed. Do you maybe know how to pack ztr, so the text becomes compressed?

Also I wrote to Albeoris privately, let's just hope he responds too. We can try to figure it out together, if you want. Do you have discord?

But all ZTR files are decompressed.
Why just this file would issue to be unpacked?
Pulse does not compress any of the files.

Pulse does not compress any of the files.

Maybe it's some weird coding, you know Square enix.
If you look at hex of changed file, all of the text is decompressed.
In original it is totally compressed. Maybe if we can compress it the same way as in original, then the game will work.

I also noticed. If we take auto_wil_us. Packed ztr is compressed. So you dont see text in hex editor. This is not the case however for auto_yus_us.

But all the files after Pulse are uncompressed. Why would this file be a problem? The archives of other cities are uncompressed and work.
This is the only file that causes a problem.

This is auto_yus before we pack ztr
https://ibb.co/HF97Y2p
This is auto_yus after we pack ztr

Now to compare with other files
https://ibb.co/J5LbDpj
This is auto_wil AFTER we pack ztr

So you see, maybe this auto_yus file has another compression method that is not supported by pulse. or somehow it fails to put the text back, because there is different structure or it cant compress it back
I might be wrong here, I have no idea, but if we put files from other languages like spanish/italian/japanese and etc of the same file, they also work fine.

Maybe someone revert this ZtrFileTextUnpacker and make possible compress ZTR file.

Actually, I tested it one more time, if I just pack it without changing, then it is ok.
But as soon as atleast one character changes, then game crashes. This is so weird...

Just using the file in the tool already crashes. You don't need to edit anything.

Hm? The tool doesn't crash for me, it does unpack it/pack it,

[wandersonareis]

Game crash if use this file on Pulse. You do not need to edit anything in the file. Just unpack and repack using this Pulse and the crash game

For me if I just unpack/repack the game doesn't crash, only if I change 1 symbol inside ztr.

Now it crashes even if it is compressed when I open it with hex. So that is not the problem, I guess.
Interesting thing is, if you put any random file instead of auto_yus then game works. Like if I replace it with auto_wil, it is ok for a game. But as soon as pulse does something ,then it's crash.
My programming skills are not really good, so I don't know what can cause this...
Maybe it's during wpd packing process?
