Demunging .Script Files Into LUA?

[Phobos]

Is there a way to reverse scriptmunge.exe in toolsFL to turn munged .script file into source .lua file? The source lua for common and shell scripts are not provided, only mission. Below is the text of the addon.lua file used in rancorland, followed by the text from addon.script once it was munged using scriptmunge.exe. If there is a way to decipher the encryption algorithm would de-munging be possible? I have a few programs I downloaded to test on these files.

Addon.lua - Before Munging

Code Select Expand

-- add the new tat level to the missionlist
local newEntry = { mapluafile = "RANCOR", showstr = "RANCORLAND", side_a = 1, dnldable = 1, }

-- append it to the sp missionlist table
local n = getn(sp_missionselect_listbox_contents)   
sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[n+1] = newEntry

-- append it to the mp missionlist table
n = getn(mp_missionselect_listbox_contents)
mp_missionselect_listbox_contents[n+1] = newEntry


-- associate this mission name with the current downloadable content directory
-- you should list all missions in mission.lvl here.
-- first arg: mapluafile from above
-- second arg: mission script name
-- third arg: level memory modifier.  the arg to LuaScript.cpp: DEFAULT_MODEL_MEMORY_PLUS(x)
AddDownloadableContent("RANCOR","RANCORc",4)
AddDownloadableContent("RANCOR","RANCORa",4)

-- all done
newEntry = nil
n = nil

Just tried using 010 editor to extract .texture files from common.lvl. The program sucks, it does not save extracted files, forces you to save them individually.

It saves none of these output files -.-

Edits/Restored Posts:
Is is possible to make mod maps load their own custom common.lvl? I need to do this with my next map project.

Secret? Hardly, he posted how he was doing it on gametoast. The only "secret" thing about was the scripts he decompiled which he never realesed before he dissappeared. Of course the method he was doing is like doing the hardest thing you can think of then multiplying that by 1000 and you might get an idea of how hard it is. And BattleBelk knew many differant coding forms in and he also made 010 Editor scripts that turned the LUA into a slightly more readable form. The only person known to have those scripts, ironicly is one of the most respected modders out their, Teancum.(Irony stikes for the third time today.)

Teancum hoarding scripts battlebelk intended to release to bf1 modders doesn't surprise me at all. I do not believe he has them. If he does and won't release them, he has let down the modding community. I think he just wants to sound important by pretending he has them. BattleBelk did not post the algorithm anywhere on gametoast btw.

Well, nobodys ever asked him for the 010 scripts. And BattleBelk did post them publicly on gametoast but the link is long dead. And stop dissing Teancum he has done a whole lot moe for the modding community than you think.Just because I joined this year does not mean I did not intensively read the old topics to catch up with everyone, trust me he posted his method of how he was doing.

And I suppose you think Psych0fred has done nothing for the community and is worthless because he has a lot of SWBF1 goodies that we do not have and that he reasonably won't release due to legal issues.

Those scripts were never posted on gametoast unless you are saying that the content was deleted by 2008. I have archives dating back to 2009, and they don't exist there. Psych0fred is the #1 on my list of most respected modders and I see you heading towards the bottom now by saying those deliberately false things about how I view psych0fred. Psych0fred has done far more than anyone else, including teancum, the only one who came remotely close to his level was battlebelk.

If it weren't for psych0fred then bfbuilder would probably not have been released. Of course he couldn't release copyrighted assets like sound. As to the legality of publishing common and shell scripts however, I don't know. Battlebelk posted his things whether they breached EULA or not (like sptest loader), and nobody ever gave him grief over it.

And I agree Psych0fred  is to be highly respected, but you've got to remember Teancum is probably your best chance of demunging those scripts. And you my friend need to realise that a modding community produces mods for people to play on, not to realse the mods assets for other modders. But for those who can not mod to have a better gaming experiance. Realise this mate, few modders ever realse their assets. Those that do you can be thankful for. But those that don't must still be respected because their mod is making 1000s of players get more from their game.

The discussion here is not about what is my best chance, it's involves the entire modding community, so our best chance to demunge the scripts will be by getting help from someone really good at C++ and is capable of deciphering the 'skew algorithm' you claim pandemic employed to the standard LUA encryption. There are some programs which claim to be capable of this but I have not yet tested them. Teancum is not going to be any help at all in this because he has zero interest in sharing those scripts with the swbf1 modding community. There is no justification for Teancum or anyone else to claim the assets to source LUA for stock common and shell scripts are "their" assets. They are LucasArts/Pandemic's Assets, no matter who is responsible for de-compiling or de-munging them. I will always try to release both assets and compiled mods because the modding community needs both to thrive. Also, the common.lvl builder is not truly complete until we have source files for everything in data/munged, including LUA scripts.

[SleepKiller]

The big problem is the varibles the LUA code uses and this has already been discussed like 10-20 times. All with the conclusion. No. The problem is the LUA decompilers out their crash because Pandemic had the earge to stightly alter the way LUA is compiled thus the decompiler does not know what to make of it and crashes. Such a shame they felt the need to keep these scripts from us.....(Granted it is their work and they had a right to do so. But still..........)

[SleepKiller]

So you're saying BattleBelk somehow figured out the secret munge algorithm but nobody else is/was able to demunge the files except him?

Secret? Hardly, he posted how he was doing it on gametoast. The only "secret" thing about was the scripts he decompiled which he never realesed before he dissappeared. Of course the method he was doing is like doing the hardest thing you can think of then multiplying that by 1000 and you might get an idea of how hard it is.

[SleepKiller]

Not scripts from SWBF, 010 editor scripts to make the LUA easieir to decode. And he could not realese the scripts due to copyright reasons Pandemic has a copy right over those scripts and apprantly did not want them realesed for their own reasons.

And I agree Psych0fred  is to be highly respected, but you've got to remember Teancum is probably your best chance of demunging those scripts.

Could we possibly try contacting battlebelk? i think russian's his main language, if i'm not mistaken.

I had this almost typed up and it got closed. So here a retype:

The discussion here is not about what is my best chance, it's involves the entire modding community, so our best chance to demunge the scripts will be by getting help from someone really good at C++ and is capable of deciphering the 'skew algorithm' you claim pandemic employed to the standard LUA encryption.

I will always try to release both assets and compiled mods because the modding community needs both to thrive.

Also, the common.lvl builder is not truly complete until we have source files for everything in data/munged, including LUA scripts.

Okay teancum said he does no longer have the LUA scripts he shered what he did have.(Possiblely the most useful script aye jdee?) no he has 010 Editor Scripts that BattleBelk made and publicly released on gametoast. So if someone asked if he still has them I'm sure he would realese them.

[SleepKiller]

Change it from common.lvl to commonaddon.lvl and remove the scripts, and animations, then yes it should load up without crashing.

Hey, i had a conversation (VERY!)short with belk

On YouTube

Search for BattleBelk, u'll find him....

But he said, that he is on Linux, and he said, he had made everything what is possible to do with modding and he had finished with bf.....

Maybe someone can try it, to bring him back, or just share his knowledge

[Phobos]

I don't think BattleBelk knew it was possible to make mods like cloud city skin changer or exit to windows in MP (common LUA modding). Anyway if you could direct him to this website or ask him these questions I would be grateful

1) how did battlebelk make the chameleon color changing darktrooper
2) how did battlebelk make the 6 unit spawn button show up on spawn menu.

[21 | Reacter]

Hey Phobos.

Yes, i asked him this and some other stuff, but he didnt answered...

Ah, and Phobos, i had a question. I love your skin changer mod and, if u have enough time, could u make a tutorial, that will be very nice from u
