Decompiling the game
====================

Fortunately, this game can easily be extracted and decompiled. This makes modding much easier--if it was hard, there probably would be no modding framework.

Prerequisites
-------------

You will need a working Python 2 installation. To check, open up a Powershell, command prompt, terminal, or equivalent and execute ``python --version``.

If you get an error such as

    'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

then you have improperly installed Python.

If you get an output that starts with ``Python 3``, you have installed the incorrect version of Python.

If you get an output that starts with ``Python 2``, you have installed the correct version of Python.

Getting media and compiled source code
======================================

There are two ways you can get the media and compiled source code from the archive.


Easy way
--------

First, obtain a copy of `QuickBMS`_ and download two scripts (by right-clicking and clicking Save Page As...): `Python Pickle Parser`_ and `RPA Renpy No Python`_,
then make a new folder.

Launch QuckBMS and select the RPA Renpy No Python script. It will ask you for the archive.rpa; give the archive.rpa from the game directory in the installation folder.
After, it will ask for a folder; select the folder you have made.

Hard way
--------

*This assumes you know the basics of command line, such as changing directories.*

* Open up a Powershell, command prompt, terminal, or equivalent
* Make a new folder anywhere and change directories to the new folder
* Copy the archive.rpa from the game directory in the installation folder into the new folder
* Download rpatool_ and extract the file ``rpatool`` into the new folder
* Run ``python rpatool -x archive.rpa``. It might take a while

After the command is executed, a whole plethora of files and folders are made in the new folder. For now, ignore all files with the .rpyc file extension.

Some notable folders include:

Getting the source code
=======================

Source code is the human-readable version of the game. All dialog options, games, and spoilers are in these files.
However, the code is compiled into Ren'Py compiled files. They have an extension of .rpyc.
To get the source code, we need to decompile the game. The source code has an extension of .rpy

* Download _unrpyc and extract the zip file into the new folder
* Run ``python unrpyc.py .``
* *Optional:* Remove the .rpyc files
