It's not gonna be easy, but this is what I'm gonna focus on as these are gonna be the portraits that will be lost when the game shut down someday. Locking them behind unlocking them for just these specific portraits is just so odd, as you can see the majority of these on the wiki (albeit, low quality with a watermark). I'm gonna be doing this sporadically too, as I will likely be doing this based on my character preferences, but I'm try to get every character I can.

Oh and SDT is finally open again. I see a bunch of the AX characters are in here too, wonder if the game will download them if I encounter them. The loading screens in this area are LONG making me wonder what is even being downloaded in the first place.

Already completed the Secret Sealing Club stages, too. I don't think I'll be able to complete the challenge stages for a while, I'll just have to wait and see, and chances are I'll nuke this game from my PC once I'm done as I already play the global version on my phone. 

Currently checking the arena stages and every cutscene for the Ruins of Memory stages before I get ready to package everything, I want at least 5000 files. I also have voices off as I don't intend to upload anything to the Sounds Resource, since I won't be able to recognize every unit's voice and it'd take up some space if I did that. Figured I could scrounge around for some more stuff even if I can't really beat the challenge modes on a new save. May also wait for the SDT to come back in JP to get a few materials but I'm not sure how far that will get me. I don't think I'll be uploading Battle Sprites this time as I found out the ones from my previous dump were inconclusive, and probably still will be considering I think the Last Words of units are saved in separate files and I can't find them unless they're released and/or max limit broken- though I am attempting to complete a few stages first just for grins and giggles. Though I did manage to beat Sakuya's Relic Stage, so that's a W, I guess.

Presumably, the new gachas will allow me to obtain more content, and otherwise I can just get more units and finish more stages with said units. Expect to see a bunch of JP Exclusive content in my dump, as I tried to make sure to get as far as I could throughout said version. 

Then, of course, comes the difficult part of ripping them all, but I'm going to see if I can get everything up to H5 Doremy, who's being added then.

Okay, so I split the 5000 files into 22 folders, each of which I can open at one time in Asset Studio Gui, outside of the first one which is just script material that I don't need. However, notably, I am now having computer complications, presumably because my PC is a few years old, most notably now acting as if the 1TB Solid State Drive I CURRENTLY have is the original (broken) Disc Drive that was part of this PC that is a fifth of the size. There's a chance I may lose my PC for a bit as a result as I might have to send it in, however, regardless, when the issues are fixed, I plan to fully upload anything that I find in the cache that could be added to the webpage.

I don't know why my PC is acting the way it is, but I hope it can be solved rather easily as it seems to have been done by a Windows Update. Either way, this should be ready soon.

My mistake entirely, but I believe I've deleted some of them (amongst others) in an effort to keep space on my hard drive. Admittedly the rip was kind of a lot for my PC, so I've been trying to clean up, and I may or may not have accidentally deleted some of them by mistake, so we'll still be a few units off after my rip. I don't believe I intend to go back and find them again, but I'll post again if I try to. 

There's already a lot of stuff I have to upload, so I'll keep you all posted on when I finish. Thank you all.

I'm reaching my limits as well. There's only so much I can pull from the game, and I'll admit I'm terrible at figuring what locations the backgrounds are supposed to be (thanks for uploading a few, it really helps). I know at least one of the music jackets is missing from my rip (MusicJacket_001.png I believe) which is ironically the jacket for Lost Word Chronicle. My cache is also so large that combing it is near impossible. It's at 6900 folders now. Thankfully I was able to pick up all the latest characters from global. In fact, I think almost every portrait from global is in here now, except for costumes from the last two events.

Thanks for all the work you've done already, it's been a great help as I don't even think I'd have started without info you posted, and I know if I'll be able to get much more done

I wish you best of luck with what you're doing, I need a few days off. I have a lot going on in my life already. I'll be watching this thread for updates, though.

I've got a few JP Exclusive units in this rip potentially, I believe the only ones I'm missing are A6 Meiling, A6 Koakuma and A6 Daiyousei as I don't believe I encountered them at all. I'll post an update once I'm done uploading everything, but as of current I've got 15 of the 200 files that I've actually pulled, with more on the way. 

Take as much time as you need!

(03-20-2023, 08:39 PM)KanaKonpaku Wrote: I've noticed something weird. I have full assets for the two most recently announced characters on the Japanese Lost Word Youtube channel. Yet none of the scarlet characters that are exclusive to the Japanese version are in the US cache. Also out of curiosity does Miyoi even have a portrait in the Japanese version? Someone in the comments on the lost word page keeps asking for the stuff and I don't feel comfortable releasing what I have (I'm seriously getting tired of people requesting assets in the comments, I don't even think that's allowed on here?).

Regardless with those Japanese exclusive B3 characters announced now, I might make spritesheets in advance. They've been in the files since I started ripping the game, oddly. Also I keep having an odd issue where folders seem to be duplicates of each other (a certain group of 500 were literally identical). Oh well.
