Grandia 2 dialog files
« on: 2004-03-25 18:16:13 »
Hello folks.
I bet you've heard about Grandia 2. I'm interested to hack dialog files of this game. Here's what I know:
- Dialogs are stored in .afs files, which look to me like some sort of archives. They're always beginning with 12 bytes:

Code: [Select]
41 46 53 00 09 00 00 00 00 08 00 00   AFS      
- Example of this afs file: download
- In this archive you can find files that contain texts. However, the text looks compressed by some alghoritm. Here is example of that file.
- I don't know how you see it, but to me, it looks like some LZ** alghoritm (like in FF7 / FF8 field files, except here text isn't encoded, only compressed).

Anybody have an idea how to hack it ? Or know some programs / people who do ?
