This is a python based script that can download ACB assets files for BGM, Sound / Live and Solo directory on database.

Project Status

Main functions :

1. Check latest manifest version that available on server
2. Download lz4 compressed database and then download assets for BGM, Sound, Solo, SE file in the database
3. Create file to rename all downloaded assets for each hash code file (and you can execute it to get exact name with .acb or .awb file)

What's next :

1. Execute cgss.py to download all data from latest manifests
2. Execute bak.py to create backup from original assets
3. Execute all l_ren%.bat from Sound & Solo backup folder to get codename for each file
   • For rename make sure to changes region -> administrative -> system locale to japanese and check UTF-8 support BETA, before doing rename

• If audio is acb:

4. Open VGMToolbox -> Misc Tools -> Extraction Tools -> Common Archives -> CRI ACB/AWB Archive Extractor
   • Drop all .acb files in here and wait for extraction process
   • Search and move all .hca files after extract process from VGMToolbox then move to other specific folder
