PyLibMS
PyLibMS is a library built in Python 3.10 and above for reading and writing of libMessageStudio (LMS) proprietary file formats from Nintendo.
The following is supported
| Format | Read | Write | Configuration Support |
|---|---|---|---|
MSBT |
✅ | ✅ | Support for full attribute (ATR1) decoding. Tag decoding 1:1 with the official Nintendo .mstxt file format. |
MSBF |
✅ | ✅ | Support for custom node definitions, attaching names and descriptions to nodes. Altering parameter datatypes for flexibility between games. |
MSBP |
✅ | ❌ | Generating configuration files for use with MSBT files. |
This library is designed to support LMS revision >=3.0. These include files generated for late Wii titles, Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, Mobile, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 games.
Features and Usage
Simple preview of the library is below. See the wiki for more explanations and examples.
Reading
MSBT
from lms.message.msbtio import read_msbt_path
msbt = read_msbt_path("Text.msbt")
MSBP
from lms.project.msbpread import read_msbp_path
msbp = read_msbp_path("Project.msbp")
MSBF
from lms.flowchart.msbfio import read_msbf_path
msbf = read_msbf_path("Flowchart.msbf")
Writing
There is no writing for MSBP files as most of the time it acts as leftover metadata and not actually loaded by games.
MSBT
from lms.message.msbtio import write_msbt_path
write_msbt_path("Out_text.msbt")
MSBF
from lms.flowchart.msbfio import write_msbf_path
write_msbf_path("Out_Flowchart.msbf")
Adding/Editing Presets
To add or edit Preset, you may create an issue with the relevant yaml file and the game it is for.
