Gravity uses strings encoded with EUC-KR. The garbled strings you see in data folders are the direct representation of these EUC-KR encoded strings in ASCII or similar. Repacking with the garbled names works because it's binary equivalent. If you convert the Korean names to unicode when extracting you must convert back to get the expected file names in the GRF. For names limited to latin characters it doesn't actually matter since that's the same in literally every character encoding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell by looking at your grf. It also explains it in several other topics, along with on Thor Patcher. which is what im guessing this is about?
