PAD Data Libraries and Standalone Tools

padtools | Cody Watts・Python・GitHub

Allows you to download various PAD raw resource files. Requirement for a number of other libraries.

Fork: Extra features by tactical_retreat: adds the ability to download ‘extras’ (voice lines, orb skins, etc). 

Puzzle-and-Dragons-Texture-Tool | Cody Watts・Python・GitHub

Unpack PAD data blobs into images. Doesn’t work properly for animations.

Fork: Minor tweaks by tactical_retreat

Additionally, pad-resources by Kiootic also does this, and handles animations.

pad-rikuu | Kiootic・TypeScript・GitHub

A variety of tools for parsing the PAD raw data files into usable data. Also contains a web UI for accessing the processed data and viewing animated cards.

pad-resources | Kiootic・Python・GitHub

Tools to download pad images, and extract them to png or mp4. Lacks web UI but has some advantages over padtools, e.g. properly handles downloading resources by hash to a local cache. Unlike PAD Texture Tool, can extract mp4. Seems difficult to get working on Windows.

pypad | CandyNinja・Python・GitHub

A variety of libraries for parsing the PAD raw data files into usable data structures.

PADSolver | Barkuto・Java・GitHub

Thick Java client board simulator, similar to PadSim but local.

pad-boardstats | tactical_retreat・Python・GitHub

Library that simplifies running orb distribution simulations (details).

padherder_proxy | jgoldshalg・Python・GitHub

Proxy server that can intercept your box data, and upload it to Padherder. Might be usable with Izenn’s PadBox app in the future. Unfortunately, Android changes over the years have made this more difficult to use.

padsniff | Will Medlar・Python・GitHub

Event-driven framework for intercepting PAD HTTPS requests. Supports all versions of Android but requires temporary root for 7.0+. Probably supports iOS.

Voice Lines | tactical_retreat・Python・GitHub

https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/mirubot-data/paddata/voices/fixed
https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/miru-data/paddata/voices/fixed/<server>/<id>.wav

Orb Skins | 2pa・Python・GitHub

https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/mirubot-data/paddata/orb_styles

Monster Images | tactical_retreat・Python・GitHub

Includes: Portraits, Full Images, HQ Images, and Animated Images.

See GitHub source code README for details on published locations.

Raw PAD Data | tactical_retreat・Python・GitHub

https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/mirubot-data/paddata/raw/
https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/miru-data/paddata/raw/<server>/<file_name>.json

Executing the extract for this info requires a snippet of private code related to accessing the PAD API. You probably don’t need to do this yourself; access the published data instead.

Please use the Cloud Storage links to find the files you’re interested in; pull the data via BackBlaze.

Processed PAD Data | tactical_retreat・Python・GitHub

https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/mirubot-data/paddata/processed/
https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/miru-data/paddata/processed/<file_name>.json

There’s a good chance you don’t want to use the published data files, which is just a JSON serialized form of the parsed data. You probably want to use the raw files and parse them yourself, and do something with them.

Please use the Cloud Storage links to find the files you’re interested in; pull the data via BackBlaze.

DadGuide Database | tactical_retreat・Python・GitHub

https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/mirubot-data/paddata/padguide/

JSON files that the PadGuide API will return if you request the entire history of various tables. This data is used by Miru Bot, which historically got it from the actual PadGuide servers, now from a local clone. The table structure is defined by what PadGuide used, which is a bit wonky in some cases.

PAD Wave Data | tactical_retreat・Python・GitHub

https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/mirubot-data/paddata/processed

The ‘wave_data.zip’ and ‘wave_summary.csv’ (probably use this) files in this directory contain information about the spawns for most dungeons (excluding 3p) since collection started.

Executing this code requires private code related to accessing the PAD API.

Miru Resources | Miru Admin Team

https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/mirubot-data/paddata/miru_data

Data about PAD compiled by humans, accessible through Miru Bot, also exported for use by anyone who wants to use it. Includes nicknames for monsters, guides to dungeons, and suggestions for which evolution to pick, among other things.

Websites

Ilmina.com | Allieta・TypeScript

Monster info site with advanced searching capabilities.

A WIP enemy behaviour tree tool is accessable via:

https://ilmina.com/#/ENEMY_SKILL_TREE/<id>

Mobile Apps

DadGuide | tactical_retreat・Java・Android Only・GitHub

This is a hacked up version of PadGuide to point to a custom backend. The original source code is not available, changes are patched into the PadGuide APK.

A PAD monster info chat bot, has monster look up and some administrative features.

Misc

PAD ML | tactical_retreat・Python/Other・GitHub
