This repository tracks only our own tools and documentation. It does not contain the game, its assets, or any cracked distribution — those are regenerated/produced locally from a legit copy.

Layout

tools/            Python tooling (unpack, repack, preprocess, font patch, decoders)
docs/             DEVLOG, format specs, patch notes

Working data (not tracked): original/, png/, report/, patch/, crack/.

Tooling

script	purpose
`tools/res_unpack.py`	extract a `.res` archive (index + raw blobs, 16-byte aligned)
`tools/res_repack.py`	rebuild a `.res` byte-identically from a directory
`tools/preprocess.py`	convert textures to PNG + build classification report
`tools/make_plan.py`	build an HD upscale plan from the report
`tools/decode_dat.py`	decode/encode the XOR-obfuscated `Fonts.dat` / `*Description.dat`
`tools/fontparse.py`	parse `Fonts.dat` into font blocks and glyph rects
`tools/add_section.py`	add an executable section to the game PE
`tools/apply_cjk.py`	apply the double-byte font-rendering patch
`tools/build_cjk.py`	build the 2048x1024 UI font atlas + `cjk_glyph`/`cjk_metric` tables
`tools/cn_strings.py`	simplified-Chinese translation table (`Id` -> text)
`tools/make_cn_strings.py`	patch the `English` column of `Strings.dat` to GB2312
`tools/install_cjk.py`	deploy/restore the whole patch into the game folder
`tools/xrefs.py`	find call/jmp xrefs in the game executable

See docs/ for the reverse-engineered formats and addresses.

Next steps, ordered by visible benefit and implementation effort: Chinese tutorial, then a small 2x texture pilot.

No game data is distributed here. Patches are produced by the user against their own copy.
