# tja2fumen
|
|
|
|
`tja2fumen` is a tool for Taiko no Tatsujin games that allows you to convert TJA files (`.tja`) to fumen files (`.bin`).
|
|
|
|
This project attempts to replace/complement the existing closed-source [tja2bin.exe](https://github.com/Fluto/TakoTako/blob/c269bcab60530877a16c2a473c84796b94d0a5ce/README.md?plain=1#L181) converter packaged alongside TakoTako.
|
|
|
|
## Goals
|
|
|
|
- Act as a drop-in replacement for `tja2bin.exe` in TakoTako.
|
|
- Fix https://github.com/Fluto/TakoTako/issues/16. (The original `tjabin.exe` doesn't properly handle `#BPMCHANGE` commands.)
|
|
- Provide open source code to act as a reference for parsing and writing both the TJA and Fumen file formats.
|
|
- Stick to the Python stdlib, i.e. no external dependencies if possible.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Option 1: Standalone Python installation
|
|
|
|
If you're familiar with Python, you can install `tja2fumen` by running:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pip install tja2fumen
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, you can convert a TJA file by running:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
tja2fumen file.tja
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Option 2: Using with TakoTako
|
|
|
|
> **Note**: Before adding `tja2fumen` to TakoTako, you may want to back up the original `tja2bin.exe` file, to make sure you can switch back to the old converter if necessary. The easiest way to do this is by renaming the existing file to `tja2bin.exe.bak`.
|
|
|
|
To use this converter with TakoTako, head to the [Releases](https://github.com/vivaria/tja2fumen/releases) page, and download the `tja2fumen.exe` file attached to the release. Then, rename `tja2fumen.exe` to `tja2bin.exe`, and place the file in the TakoTako plugin folder.
|
|
|
|
TakoTako's plugin folder is inside of the BepInEx folder, which will typically look something like:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
C:\XboxGames\T Tablet\Content\BepInEx\plugins\com.fluto.takotako
|
|
```
