Random symbols when I open some .lua's in notepad++, please help

I'm getting text like the following pic. I tried changing the encoding to UTF-8, I tried converting to different types of encoding. The weird thing is I can still read .lua's that I have already opened and edited, which are MbmCommonSetting.lua, TppHero.lua, and MbmCommonSetting40RewardDeploy.lua

 

I can also open EquipParameters.lua and EquipParameterTables.lua but NOT from my own 00.dat, only the files that I downloaded from an outdated mod on nexus. As far as I can tell every other .lua displays the same gibberish. It seems the .lua's that work open in UTF-8 by default, while the ones that do not, open in ANSI. And encoding or converting them to UTF-8 doesn't work. Any help is appreciated.

That's because those scripts are encrypted. You can either use GzsTool to unpack, as it decrypts the scripts by default or you can use the QAR Tool to unpack with decryption via CMD command: MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MGSV_TPP\master\0\00.dat" -r

 

The -r tells the QAR Tool to decrypt the luas.

Thank you so much, sorry for the extremely noob question.
