I can try the junk space idea, but the way the csv -> pak inserter works, there HAS to be a file with the same name. It basically just tries to update the information inside the file with the information from the .csv files. Yet somehow it doesn't exactly do that based off of what I've observed. I can try jerryrigging it a little more, but tonight's TTRPG night and I'm sorta multitasking as-is, so I'm going to cross that bridge when we get there. For the purposes of NoR specifically, we'll be fine, the current tools will work, but once we move onto the other games, we'll need something better.

Serela:
Okay, that makes sense. Hmm, that's interesting. Junk space should cover it though; most easily just being to take the original table and copy-paste NoR's table onto the end, probably, rather than worrying about what format the junk has to be in to make it count properly. That way NoR's table would just be fused onto the end in the file merge with no fuss about having an entire mess of other data merging to make a monsterbaby with the original dod table.

But yeah, you go do you! Patches aren't made in a night.

edit:(also what do you think of Impair? Sabotage's definition isn't... quite fitting for the usage here, as it moreso means vandalism/destruction of something and is more specific of an act in general- aka it's not really an adjective type word?, even if it does sort of fit. Being significantly shorter due to i's slimness and less letters is also probably good considering how little the space in the hits list is, but I think it just fits better overall)

edit again:Oh wait... removing the NoR portion of the table after turning it back into an .srsdb file might be... problematic. >_>
Well, even as junk data in notepad, so long as the junk data saves properly, all you'd need to do is identify the point where the DoD table ends and the NoR table begins... which would be theoretically rather easy, as you can open the original DoD table up and ctrl+F for the last line or so of the DoD one in the combined file. Or well, notepad++ counts lines, so even easier. Theoretically. This just keeps getting more and more hilariously questionable. But it still sounds functional.
Maybe.
.srsdb file formatting might not keep the file functional if you just cut a chunk out in the middle, or the file may just be too garbled from the format incorrect parsed, to be able to lift a piece out intact at all. Only way to see is to find out. Maaybe I should prepare a message for mauve :V

Validon98:
I'll go with Impair instead. As for the srsdb thing... at this point, I just don't think it'll work. I can try it on a smaller database tomorrow or the day after, but if it doesn't work out, then I'm just going to leave it be for the time being. This is a problem I really don't think will be solved with some bizarre jerryrigging that somehow works out, it needs a new tool altogether, but we'll see. Still multitasking, but uh... might as well mention that progress is coming along fairly well on the chr.srsdb. Just the cond.srsdb and the rest of the item.srsdb files after this and that's that for the bare basics. I can also try to edit the images for the stat screen. They're not too complex, so I should be able to get something together.

brliron:
Hi. After reading the discussion here, I decided to give another look on mauve's code, and see if I can move the srsdb code from thrpgrepackcsvs5 to another program.
And I could, here is the result: [attach=1] . I didn't try to put the created file in game, but I did 1 or 2 small tests and it seemed to work.
Usage: repack_srsdb.exe in.csv in.srb out.srb
If you want me to make an easy-to-use bat file like the ones I made for DoD, just ask and I'll do it.

Edit: Oops, it won't work, it needs 2 files from my computer. I'll fix that in a minute.
Edit 2: fixed.

Validon98:
I quickly tried it on the badge file for Phantasmal Summoners 2 to see if it worked (since that file in particular was having issues being converted, it had all the badge description text converted to hex).

Not only does it work like a charm, buuuuut...

The Japanese doesn't get screwed up if I convert files this way. This completely fixes the encoding errors we've been having, all I need to do basically is replace the "genmu.exe -cs [file].txt" step with "repack_srsdb.exe [file].csv [filein].srsdb [fileout].srsdb" while converting back. I'll have to start over from scratch on some stuff here and there but if it means this whole encoding issue is fixed? I think it'll just make things easier since I can now go over things in Excel rather than Notepad++. I can't thank you enough, brliron.
