Installation

You can install this module from PyPI.

$ pip install kkloader

If this does not work, try the following command (for Windows users, maybe).

$ python -m pip install kkloader

Basic Usage

$ python
>>> from kkloader import KoikatuCharaData # Load a module.
>>> kc = KoikatuCharaData.load("./data/kk_chara.png") # Load a character data.
>>> kc["Parameter"]["nickname"] # Print character's nickname.
'かずのん'
>>> kc["Parameter"]["nickname"] = "chikarin" # Renaming nickname.
>>> kc.save("./kk_chara_modified.png") # Save to `kk_chara_modified.png`.

that's it :)

Mechanism of the Blockdata

A character data of koikatu consists of some blockdata. The blockdata is a collection of character parameters. A typical Koikatsu character data contains the following blockdata:

name of blockdata	description
Custom	Values for the character's face, body, and hairstyle.
Coordinate	Values for clothes and accessories worn by characters.
Parameter	Values for character names, birthdays, preferences, etc.
Status	Values for clothed states, etc. (I'm not sure how they are used in the game)
About	userID & dataID (added from Koikatu Sunshine)
KKEx	Values used in MOD

You can check which block data exists from blockdata in KoikatuCharaData.

>>> kc.blockdata
['Custom', 'Coordinate', 'Parameter', 'Status']

If there is block data in an unknown format, it can be checked with unknown_blockdata.

Access to Blockdata

The blockdata can be accessed as a member variable of the KoikatuCharaData class, or accessed as a dictionary.

>>> kc.Custom
<kkloader.KoikatuCharaData.Custom object at 0x7f406bf18460>
>>> kc["Custom"]
<kkloader.KoikatuCharaData.Custom object at 0x7f406bf18460>

So, these lines both access the same kc.Custom.

Find Variables

By using the prettify method, the contents of the variables contained in the block of data will be displayed in an easy-to-read format. This is useful to find which variables exists.

>>> kc["Custom"].prettify()
{
  "face": {
    "version": "0.0.2",
    "shapeValueFace": [
      ...
    ],
    "headId": 0,
    "skinId": 0,
    "detailId": 0,
    "detailPower": 0.41674190759658813,
    ...

Export to JSON file

from kkloader import KoikatuCharaData

k = KoikatuCharaData.load("./data/kk_chara.png")
k.save_json("data.json") 

data.json

{
  "product_no": 100,
  "header": "\u3010KoiKatuChara\u3011",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "Custom": {
    "face": {
      "version": "0.0.2",
      "shapeValueFace": [
        0.5403226017951965,
        1.0,
        0.2016129046678543,
        0.0,
        0.22580644488334656,
        0.0,
        0.0,
        0.1794193685054779,
        0.0,
...

If you add include_image=True to the argument of save_json, base64-encoded images will be included in json.
