If we can fix what devs not...
Unfortunately, it's not so easy to fix it, because of the following reasons:
Yeah, they really are LUA files. I wonder if this was done intentionally given the story that unfolds in VLR or if it was just a coincidence. Given the personality of the writer/director for ZE, I would not be surprised if it was the former case.
From what I have been told, the code was compiled using LUA 5.1. However, what makes things difficult is that Spike-Chunsoft used special (non-standard) libraries.
As lucaboy has already stated, you should be able to rip files using the tools provided in this thread to do so. PACK files are typically just dummy containers (similar to Zip files). The header lists where files lie and their size so ripping them out is pretty straight forward. That doesn't mean files inside the PACKs aren't compressed but the OGGs are easy to rip.
Unfortunately that is still the case. I've tried looking into using the debugger in NTR CFW as I think it would be our best chance to observe what is going on before and when the game crashes. However, it is absolutely unclear how memory breakpoints (if they even exist in the program) actually work. The documentation for the debugger is spotty at best which is a shame.
Thank you for developing all this tools! I'm now using this to make Vietnamese translation of the game.
