# Overview



This is an utility for working with game files of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni visual novel released for Nintendo Switch.



There's also a `konosuba` branch with support for konosuba's flavour of scenario and some more texture formats



## Usage



`dotnet run subcommand subcommand-args`



Subcommands:



- `rom-list romname` - list files in a rom



- `rom-extract-all [--regex=filename_regex] romname destination-directory` - extract raw files (optionally filtered by regex) from rom



- `rom-extract-all-with-decode [--regex=filename_regex] romname destination-directory` - extract files (optionally filtered by regex) from rom, decoding known formats



- `[rom-]pic-decode [romname] picname outname` - decode a PIC file (optionally from rom) to png



- `[rom-]sound-remux [romname] nxaname outname` - remux a NXA file (optionally from rom)to opus



- `[rom-]font-extract [romname] fntname outname` - extract an FNT file (optionally from rom) to a bunch of png files



- `[rom-]txa-extract {--ignore-file-size} [romname] txaname outname` - extract an TXA file (optionally from rom) to a bunch of png files. `ignore-file-size` makes the tool ignore the file size specified in txa header



- `[rom-]sysse-extract [romname] syssename outname` - extract a sysse.bin file (optionally from rom) to a bunch of wav files



- `[rom-]bustup-extract [romname] bustupname outname` - extract a BUP file (optionally from rom) to a bunch of png files



- `[rom-]mask-extract [romname] mskname outname` - extract a MSK file (optionally from rom) to a png file



- `[rom-]scenario-decompile [romname] snrname outname` - disassemble an SNR file (optionally from rom) to a listing, a json file containg head data and raw dump of code section



- `scenario-build asmdir outname` - build an SNR file from a listing and json file containing head data (same structure as decompiler)



- `rom-replace-file origrom srcfile targetname outrom` - quickly replace a file in ROM by another one. Does not remove previous file contents, so avoid using this repeatedly



- `rom-build outrom [infile targetname]...` - build a ROM from scratch from specified pairs of source files and their target names



- `rom-build-from-dir outrom indir` - build a ROM from scratch from specified root directory. All files in the directory will be put to the rom with the same name



- `txa-encode srcdir outtxa` - build a TXA from the specified directory (needs an `index.txt` file to function)



- `scenario-layout [--ignore-logset] fntfile asmfile outasmfile` - transform the specified scenario asm file, doing word wrapping according to mixed English/Japanese rules. Specify `--ignore-logset` to make the layouter not modify messages of `LOGSET`. Useful, as the original game script has a typo there (`r@` vs `@r`).



- `pic-encode {--origin origin} {--quantize} {--dither} {--lossless-alpha} inpng outpic` - encode a png file into PIC, setting the origin as specified by `--origin` (default - `Bottom`). Optionally --quantize the colors to 256 using Wu's algorithm to allow to use more effective dict encoding. Add --dither to also apply dithering, improving the overall resulting look, but increasing the file size slightly. You can also specify --lossless-alpha not to apply dithering to alpha channel. This will reduce the stress on ditherer and will increase the overall number of colors, but, obviously, will increase file size.



- `pic-encode-roundtrip {--quantize} {--dither} {--lossless-alpha} inpng outpng` - encode a png file into PIC and decode it back. Allows to test the results of lossy compression. Also prints encoded size and Mean Square Error between the original and encoded image.



## Tests



Tests require the game data (most notably - `data.rom` and `patch.rom`). 



```bash

$ sha1sum data.rom patch.rom

66ce63758e955eed385f8d5c9d90698d5428e369  data.rom

3dc7e123e23fcbe2058b25ca011849e4aef252c5  patch.rom

```
