Flyable Heart - extracting script

[Ojamajo_LimePie]

I'm trying to extract the script from Flyable Heart. I found a couple files which I think might contain the script of the game, but I was wondering how to extract them. I'll include them with this post.

How about Crass?

The script, or part of it, is in text.dat:
If you open up text.dat in a hex editor (I'm using madEdit), you can see the script.

Dunno if the script.src is an archive file, or the command list, or anything else. Not my expertise unfortunately.

CRASS won't help. Quick glance at text.dat revealed the following structure:

Header:

12 bytes - header '$TEXT_LIST__'
8 bytes - count of text blocks

Text table:

? bytes - text block
0 byte - control byte, means that the block is terminated
4 bytes - number of text block

Yes, that's all. There's no string offsets nor sizes, which virtually makes it possible to translate the script via simple HEX editor. ^_^

script.src is obviously a bytecode, but I think you can skip it. Unfortunately, that's all I can tell without having a copy of this novel.

I wrote a small tool for decoding text.dat into an editable text script and re-encoding it back. Here it is, attached. Requires no .net components nor any runtimes, since it's a pure Object Pascal console application (uses SysUtils & Classes module).

How to convert:

dat -> txt : drag-n-drop the script file onto program's icon
txt -> dat : same as above. will create file with dat_new extension

How to edit & save:

1. Do NOT use MAC newline symbols, otherwise you'll screw up the converter
2. Do NOT add new lines, otherwise you'll screw it up

Enjoy.

P.S. Just checked the decode -> encode and compared CRC32 - 100% match. :3

Edit: the tool is defective. Removed. T_T

This was posted on /jp/ a while ago. Looks like they got it extracted already.

Thanks a bunch!

It's not "extracted", it's heavely damaged by trying to remove "bytecode" data with Notepad. Do not use it. -_-

Okay, I'll avoid that one.

Using Notepad to edit the file should be okay if I don't try and remove anything, though, right? That's what I usually edit in.

No. It just has the line numbers replaced with 0x0D0A. Did you even look at it?

Yeah. Unfortunately, you (or someone who's edited the script file) DID broke it, there's no false-accusations from my side. ^^' Here's why: you haven't transformed the header and number of lines into plain text (in order to avoid the damage of resaving with an text editor) and left zero byte at the end of file. Did you ever thought about how you'll put everything back?

Script extraction is complete, have fun translating:

Anybody know how to unpack/repack files with the new .pac extension? Or do I have to wait for a hacked exe?

If you just want to test your edited script files in the game: some Anon posted tools for that on /jp/, somewhere in this thread: http://archive.easymodo.net/cgi-boar...thread/5096685

He also said he'll take care of repacking, so you'd probably be best off following the FH threads on /jp/.
