Telltale Workbench is a comprehensive toolkit for modifying Telltale Games resource files. It covers the full fan translation pipeline: unpack archives, create fonts, edit translation text, and repack into game-ready archives.
Originally forked from TTG Tools by Den Em and Pashok6798.

The Font Creator handles Telltale's .font binary format (5VSM/6VSM/ERTM), which stores glyph textures, character metrics, and layout parameters. It supports:
- BMFont → .font conversion: Import
.fntfiles and DDS textures with automatic platform detection and swizzle settings - Texture pipeline: Multi-page DDS (BC3/DXT5), platform-specific texture headers, Nintendo Switch hardware layout block injection
- Character metrics: Per-glyph X/Y offsets, advance widths, UV coordinates with batch adjustment
- CJK support: Full UTF-8 encoding for FontName and ObjectName
- Create fonts from scratch:
New → Import FNT → Import DDS → Savepipeline - Platform swizzle: Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS Vita, Xbox 360, Wii
Telltale Workbench supports multiple compression algorithms for archive packing and unpacking:
- Oodle Kraken (0x8C 0x06) — detection and decompression in Archive Unpacker; compression in Archive Packer with buffer overflow protection
- Oodle LZHLW (0x8C 0x05) — full compress/decompress support
- Zlib / Deflate — standard compression used by most Telltale archives
- Last Chunk Padding — configurable in Archive Packer: padded mode for compatibility, unpadded for smaller archives. Unpacker auto-detects padding status and displays it in the Archive Info panel.
