#Trails of Cold Steel 3 Modding Tools

#Introduction

A general modding tool for Trails of Cold Steel 3, also has a randomizer built in. There are 3 main parts to the program:

• Unpacker: Convert the game table files into csv and put them into their own project folder for easy organization.
• Packer: Pack a chosen project into the format the game can understand.
• Randomizer: Using a project as base, randomize the data then pack them into the format the game can understand.

#Usages

For all tools, Game Directory refers to the directory where the game launcher (Sen3Launcher.exe) resides in.

#Unpacker

• Project Name: The name of the project the files will be extracted to. All projects can be found under the /projects folder.

#Packer

• Project Name: The name of the project to get packed. TOCS3 Vanilla is the original version of the game.

#Randomizer

• Base Project: The name of the project to be used as the base for the randomizer. TOCS3 Vanilla is the original version of the game.
• Seed: The seed to be used in the randomizer

The result of the randomizer will be saved in the results.txt file.

#Using the Randomizer on yuzu

To use the randomizer with yuzu (a Nintendo Switch Emulator), you can do the following steps:

1. Open yuzu, Right-Click on the game name, and select Open Mod Data Location.
2. Create a new folder in the location named Randomizer.
3. Create a new folder inside Randomizer named romfs.
4. Use the romfs folder as the game directory for the randomizer.
5. Enjoy!

As I have no experience with Ryujinx or Switch homebrew, follow their instructions on how to create a LayeredFS folder for mod then use that as the game directory for the randomizer.

#Randomizer

#Magic

(Guess characters can be optionally excluded from the randomizer)

Randomize things in the magic table of the game, which includes:

• Crafts: Randomize the craft set of every playable character, excluding Rean's Spirit Unification. Juna will have two craft sets, one for each of her form.
• S-Crafts: Randomize the S-Craft for every playable character.
• Brave Orders: Randomize the Brave Orders for every playable character.

#Releases

All releases of the tool can be found in the Release Page.

Additionally if you want to build the file yourself, you can use cx_freeze and run the command python setup.py build.

#Future Updates

• More features for unpacker and randomzier
• An Editor to edit the unpacked files
