Hey everyone. Some of you may remember from way back in the day when the Zantetsuken boards were still around (Divine Bovine). If not, that's okay too...

Is there any way to retrieve the editable plotscripting file from within the game? I picked up a game I stopped working on for awhile and I cannot find the editable script file anywhere.

If there is anyway to retrieve it back, please let me know.

Thank you.

DIVINE BOVINE?! Holy shit! Welcome back!

As for your question, yes. TMC has a decompiler. When I used it last, it wasn't very well documented, but it did, in fact, decompile the scripts. I'm not sure where you can find it, but you could start by asking The Mad Cacti (Or is he TeeEmCee here?). If you can't find him here, come to the IRC Channel (#CastleParadox, at irc.esper.net) and yell "VERSTEEGEN!". I promise, he'll come running.

Or, try the Download page (or, more specifically, the HS Decompiler page)

Note: this program is obsolete. It will only work properly for scripts that are pre-Serendipity. Your game seems pretty old, so it should be fine, although it will be garbled (but functional). By this, I mean:

* All your variable names (global and otherwise) will be "genericized" (i.e., named something generic, since the original name is lost)
* plotscr.hsd will be embeded in the script file (and, it will also be genericized)
* autonumbered (and possibly regular) script names may be genericized as well
* Constants (both in plotscr.hsd and those you define manually) will be replaced with the actual number, and the constant definition blocks will be gone.

So, yeah. The scripts will still work, however.

I was surprised when I saw his signature when I looked at the Hamsterspeak #2 announcement thread. I was like WOAH! NO WAY! What?!?!

Could this mean we can start to expect more long gone members to be coming back? o.o

So, why not make the comment over there instead of in here? However,
