Editing Qt Resource Container (QRC)

== General format ==
QRC files ('''Q'''t '''R'''esources '''C'''ontainer) are part of the firmware, located inside a QGL folder ('''Q'''t '''G'''raphics '''L'''ibrary) in path: '''dev_flash/vsh/resource/qgl''' using names: '''canyon.qrc, earth.qrc, icons.qrc, icontex.qrc, lines.qrc, raf.qrc, rhm.qrc''', and '''store.qrc'''

*All them uses zlib compression and the same container, but the zlib compression method and the structure of the container has 2 variations:
**'''All .qrc files except icontex.qrc''' (magic QRCC) - zlib compression is applyed over the whole .qrc file (except his first 8 bytes that are info for the decompression), after decompression the file generated is a QRCF and the internal container structure can be readed (QRCC always contains a QRCF that is the real container)
**'''icontex.qrc''' - (magic QRCF) zlib compression is applyed per-file over each contained file (the container structure can be readed directlly and every one of the files inside the container structure is compressed individually)

In the practise and from the point of view of the system, the QRCC has no interest and is needed to decompress the whole QRCC to be able to read the internal structure of the container and to acess individual files, when a QRCC is decompressed it generates an QRCF file (the real container) but this QRCF has a different internal structure than the QRCF used by icontex.qrc (are variations of the same container with some small differences... althougth both uses the same identifyer QRCF)

*For this reason is not posible to identify them by reading his magic (both are QRCF) but his structure is different, so is needed to use unnofficial names to identify them and to be able to explain his variations here in wiki, the proposed names used in this page are:
**'''QRCF_1''' (the most common... used by all .qrc's except icontext.qrc)
**'''QRCF_2''' (the less common... used only by icontex.qrc)

*Notes
**Actually, the correct way to identity the QRCF container is by reading the texts in the "strings table" that are related with the building process and defines his internal structure
**The contents of QRC files are compatible/generated with/by: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_%28framework%29 Qt framework] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL OpenGL]

=== QRCC ===
QRCC ('''Q'''t '''R'''esources '''C'''ontainer '''C'''ompressed)

QRC file ZLIB Compressed level 9.

*Example from 3.55 rhm.qrc:
 '''Offset(h) 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F'''
 '''00000000'''  <span style="background:#ff6666;">51 52 43 43</span> <span style="background:#8888ff;">00 00 28 00</span> <span style="background:#00ff00;">78 DA</span>                       QRCC..(.xÚ

*Notes
**The first 2 bytes of the compressed QRCF is the ZLIB header, in this example: 0x78DA
**default/max level 9

=== QRCF ===
QRCF ('''Q'''t '''R'''esources '''C'''ontainer '''F'''lat?)

QRC "container" with an structure similar than themes .p3t

====Main Header====
The header contains an identifyer of the container (magic), his version, and allows to store the "absolute start offset" and "size" of 7 tables (or areas)

When a "not used table" is placed before a "used table"... the start offset of the "not used table" and his size (as zero) are stored in the main header to preserve his position in the structure. The "used table" that comes later starts in the same offset than the previouslly "not used table" (an intuitive way to think in this is imagining are overlapped because starts in the same position but only the one at the top is used)

*The container format is generic (used also by .RAF and .P3T with some variations) so the usage of this tables can vary, in this example there are 3 "not used tables":
**two of the "not used tables" (both at offset 0x460 with a size of 0) are placed before an used table (also at offset 0x460 but with a size of  0x23A0)
**the other "not used table" is placed at the end, so there is no need to store his offset

*Example from fw 3.55 rhm.qrc:
 '''Offset(h) 00 01 02 03  04 05 06 07  08 09 0A 0B  0C 0D 0E 0F'''

*Notes
**The sizes doesnt includes the (posible) padding at the end of all tables

====Tree Table====
Default entry size is 49 bytes (offset 0x30), The '''Tree Table''' defines the Offset, Size and Filename pointer of each file contained in the File Table. There is a total padding of 52 bytes (0x34) between each entry but first we have a unique* padding of 92 byte (0x5C) before the first entry starts (see '''Structure Tree Table''' below). After that, the first 4 bytes are the Offset and the next 4 bytes are the Size of the file from the '''File Table'''. The padding have a structure which is for every QRC the same. First 8 bytes are compiled of 2x 4 bytes which are always 0x00000018 & 0x00000007. Next 4 bytes are the Offset of the Filename pointer within the ID Table. Next 16 bytes are compiled of 4x 4 bytes which are always 0x00000000, 0x0000000F, 0x00000002 & 0x0000001C. Next 4 bytes are the pointer for the '''Filename''' from the '''ID Table'''. Next 4 bytes are the offset within the '''Tree Table''' for the next '''Filename pointer'''. Last 16 bytes are compiled of 1x 8 bytes and 2x 4 bytes which are always 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, 0x00000014 & 0x00000006.

*yellow: used bytes
*red: padding to align to 0x10 bytes

====File Table====
The files are concatenated in the same order than in the '''File-BIO Table''' & '''Filename Table'''

== Tools ==

===ZLIB archivers===
QRC files are compressed in ZLIB, and has 8 bytes added at the start of the file. To be able to use a generic zlib archiver is needed to remove this 8 bytes (and is needed to add them in the last step when rebuilding the QRC file)

====SimplyZip====
Windows archiver able to extract and create zlib files. http://www.paehl.de/cms/simplyzip

*Usage:
**Open the program and click in the tab at top: [External progs] ---> [ZLIB (pack/unpack)]
**A window opens where you can select the file
**Choose [Decompress] or [Compress], then click in [Start]

==== QGL converter ====
This tool can decompress a QRCC to QRCF and compress a QRCF to QRCC (it crops/generates the first 8 bytes and manages the zlib decompression/compression)

https://raw.github.com/wargio/ps3tools/master/QGL.c (just run make to compile it)

=== QRC Extractors ===
After the ZLIB decompression (needed for all .qrc files except icontex.qrc) the contents can be extracted individually using different tools

*Notes
**Some of the images are inverted vertically (only .dds?)

==== P3Textractor ====
Is posible to use a theme extractor to extract the contents from .qrc files, but first is needed to replace the characters '''/''' by '''_''' of the text strings inside the '''Name table''' with a hexeditor (e.g: the string '''override/black/ICONS.mnu''' needs to be replaced by '''override_black_ICONS.mnu''')
This patching of the text strings can be automated by selecting the whole '''Name table''' in hexeditor and the function "replace string" (replacing the text string '''/''' by '''_''' automatically only in the selected area)

P3Textractor manual: http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Themes_(.p3t)#P3Textractor

*Notes
**P3Textractor renames .dds file extensions to .gim in the extraction process... so is needed to change back the file extensions manually to .dds for further edits in other programs
**This same trick with P3Textractor can be used with .raf files

=== Raw extractors ===

==== Generic Tiny little extractor ====
Theses generic tiny little tools extract '''blindly''' (they just don t want to stop) & embedded (and so, output bigger files when it s not) files and are means to be tiny and independent. Extremely Heavily based on an [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Talk:Content_Information_Files MPO splitter] by Christian Steinruecken. Formats supported DDS/MNU/JPG/MPO/PNG (and virtually any other by modifying the source code)

http://rghost.net/49340892 (include Code-Compile-Credit. Drag and drop your file into them) & 
mirror links: http://mir.cr/0R78ED3U

=== QRC Compilers ===
There are no compilers for .qrc files, the commonly used method consist in patching settings values in text strings (or to inject the modded files) with a hexeditor over the original .qrc file

This limits the mods to patches than never exceeeds the size of the original data... in the case of patching an area with an smaller patch is recommended to fill the original "trash" data with zeroes

==== Patching strings in hexeditor ====
Mostly used with the settings inside .mnu files

First extract the files with some of the extractor tool, open the .mnu files in notepad++ to be able to read the settings in a easy way

Select the string you want to modify and "copy" his name

Open the .qrc file in hexeditor (after ZLIB decompression if needed) and use the search funtion to locate the string you copyed previously

*Notes
**Most of the settings inside .mnu files are repeated several times inside the .qrc file because are used in several .mnu files... be sure to patch the correct .mnu file by comparing the rest of the data at his side

==== Injecting files in hexeditor ====
Similar than patching a text string, but with a bigger chunk of data
