The port agent's first published arc. Merged from auto/p0-exporter so the image build below carries its docker/bin fixes -- build-export follows the exporter's new subcommand shape, and build-reference-cli makes the pinned reference CLI reproducible rather than a hand-built artifact in a volume.
Sylpheed Godot
A clean-room Godot 4 port of Project Sylpheed: Arc of Deception, starting with the menu shell: developer splash → intro video → title → main menu → submenus.
You need your own copy of the game. Nothing in this repository is game content. An offline exporter reads the disc you supply and writes an open, moddable asset tree; the Godot project reads only that tree and never touches a disc format.
your disc ──▶ crates/sylpheed-export ──▶ export/ ──▶ port/ (Godot 4)
(Rust; decoders come from JSON + PNG reads ONLY
sylpheed-formats) + OGG + OGV open formats
Why the wall
Two reasons, and the second is the interesting one:
- Godot cannot read IPFB archives, RATC bundles, T8aD textures, XMA banks or WMV video, and it should not learn to.
- Modding is a goal of this port. If the runtime reads the original formats, modding means reverse engineering. If it reads JSON and PNG, modding means opening a file.
Where the knowledge comes from
The decoders live in sylpheed-formats, pinned by revision — a
separate project, where the reverse engineering happens. Its
docs/port/HANDOFF.md is the contract: what has been decoded, what was measured
off the running game, and what is known to be undecodable. Read it before
assuming a value is on the disc.
