Usage

Usage: FC2MFTConverter [OPTIONS]
Options:
      --fnt2mft              Convert FNT to MFT
      --mft2fnt              Convert MFT to FNT

❄ Convert FNT to MFT (Create new MFT)

Usage: FC2MFTConverter --fnt2mft [OPTIONS]
Options:
  -f, --originalMFT=VALUE    (required) Original MFT file (*.mft)
  -b, --charDesc=VALUE       (required) Character description file (*.fnt)
  -o, --NewMFT=VALUE         (optional) Output new MFT file

❄ Convert MFT to FNT

Usage: FC2MFTConverter --mft2fnt [OPTIONS]
Options:
  -f, --originalMFT=VALUE    (required) Original MFT file (*.mft)
  -o, --NewFNT=VALUE         (optional) Output FNT file

❄ Example:

FC2MFTConverter --fnt2mft -f farcry2_25.mft -b yahei.fnt -o farcry2_25.mft.new
FC2MFTConverter --mft2fnt -f farcry2_25.mft -o farcry2_25.mft.fnt

• farcry2_25.mft is the file you get when unpack game files.
• yahei.fnt is a character descriptions file generated by BMFont
• farcry2_25.mft.fnt is a character descriptions file exported from original MFT

Note 1: After replace *.mft file, you need to replace image file in-game (e.g. farcry2_25_0.xbt)

Note 2: Using the old tool (Dunia Tools) to (un)pack .fat files, FCBConverter doesn't seem to work
