Hi folks!
Recently, I've been playing a bunch of visual novels based off the cs2 VN engine by Windmill.
For those who don't know (I assume most of you won't know which engine is used by the VNs you possibly played), the most known of them are the Grisaia series VNs (a list of cs2 VNs can be found on the website linked above).
I've been able to achieve quite a bit by myself, but your help would be greatly appreciated.
What is currently done:
-Extracting decrypted *.int archives used by the cs2 engine (decryption is doable on computer).
-Decrypting the *.cst scenes scripts, basic interpreting of the text display commands (only supports Latin alphabet text so far).
-Listing some of the assets needed by a scene, locating them in the int archives, determining which asset to use if the asset is found in several archives (e.g. assets found in update packages).
To do:
-Full interpretation of the *.cst scripts.
-Interpretation of the *.fes menu scripts.
-Decryption of the encrypted *.int archives directly on the 3DS to be able to play just by copying the files from the computer to the SD card.
-Support of Japanese text display (should be doable quite easily with FreeType).
-*.hg3 images files support - File structure is known, should be easy to implement.
-Sound support (used format: OGG/VORBIS. Already done in many other projects).
-Save decryption.
-Branches support (operations on variables).
The particular points I'll need help on is the interpretation of the scripts. Windmill has been kind enough to provide us a documentation (cst scripting doc and fes scripting doc), but my Japanese is really bad (though I am almost able to understand most of what I hear, but I cannot read it, my brain always mixes up the Kanjis together).
I am recruiting people who are good enough with Japanese and who could help me understanding the documentation, and programmers who would be able to provide some help with the scripts parsing.
Thanks all for reading up to this point, I hope some people would be able to help me!
That's all for that time, I'll see you next time!
