TLK

These GFF files contain strings. They can be opened in the GFF editor.

Keep in mind that all numbers are in little-endian format if you are looking at the raw file.

This may be incomplete, as I believe previous TLK files had timing info, etc as well.

A cursory glance at the file leads me to believe it's formatted something like this:

Header

String ID section

String data section

---

Header

• 104 bytes
  • 20 byte string describing the file, watch the 2 spaces between PC and TLK

    GFF V4.0PC  TLK V0.2

  • 80 bytes of other info I haven't figured out yet. May include info about the table, offsets
  • 4 bytes - number of entries in the table

String ID section

Tightly packed

• 4 bytes
  • unsigned 32 bit integer - TALK_STRING_ID
• 4 bytes
  • unsigned 32 bit integer - offset to string (appears to be an offset from 0x60)

String Data

• 4 bytes
  • Unsigned 32 bit integer, little endian - number of characters in string.
  • The toolset seems to ignore this.
• String in UTF-16, little endian.
  • Terminated by a NUL character (0x00) (twice, since it is UTF-16LE) and filled up (with 0xff) to be a multiple of 4 bytes.
