What do you mean by 'it still doesn't look right.'?

Sorry, I am very new to unpacking game files. This is what I get when opening it:

When I open the file with my texteditor, I get to see the strings, but they are all in a big pile with not order:

That's because .strings files aren't simple text files. They also contain information about how many strings are in the file and for each string there is an ID (So the game knows which string to load and display).

As you can see the actual text is just separated by NULLs.

I quickly wrote a template to parse the Bitsquid .strings files. All you have to do is to write a script that implements the extraction algorithm.

Thank you so much! I understand that I'm probably asking really stupid questions, but it means the world that you would take your time to reply :)

I'll check out your script!

EDIT: Alright, so I've got no idea where to go with this script. C++ isn't a language I've touched very much :(
EDIT: I managed to export the strings using a tool I found for the bitsquid engine :)

It's not a script to unpack or dump. It is just the instructions to parse the files correctly.

Yes ofcourse, my bad. I can see now what you mean about the file being a table with IDs.
Now my next issue is the .unit files, but I guess I need to get a hold of the Stingray engine for those.
